Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
The first cave has 7 times more bats than the last cave. So if the 45th cave has b bats, then the first cave has 7b bats.
There are 77 bats in every row of 7 caves. So if there are 7b bats in the first cave, then there are 77−7b bats in caves 2 through 7.
Since there are also 77 bats in caves 2 through 8, that means cave #8 must have 7b bats. Repeating this logic:
#1 = 7b
#2-#7 = 77−7b
#8 = 7b
#9-#14 = 77−7b
#15 = 7b
#16-21 = 77−7b
#22 = 7b
#23-28 = 77−7b
#29 = 7b
So the first 29 caves have 5(7b) + 4(77−7b) = 308 + 7b bats.
Now we do the same thing from the other end. If cave #45 has b bats, then caves #39-#44 have 77−b bats. And since caves #38-44 have 77 bats, then cave #38 has b bats. Therefore:
#45 = b
#39-44 = 77−b
#38 = b
#32-37 = 77−b
#31 = b
So caves 31 through 45 have 3b + 2(77−b) = 154 + b bats.
Adding that to the first 29 caves, plus x number of bats in cave #30:
308 + 7b + x + 154 + b = 462 + 8b + x
We know this equals 490.
490 = 462 + 8b + x
28 = 8b + x
x is a maximum when b is a minimum, which is b = 2.
28 = 8(2) + x
x = 12
There are at most 12 bats in the 30th cave.
Answer: 8 hours
Step-by-step explanation: You would first multiply 2 hours by 4 mph, and get 8 miles. You would then subtract 8 miles from 26 miles, and have 18 miles left. You would now divide 18 miles by 3, as he is now traveling 3 miles per hour and needs to travel 18 miles. You would get 6 hours. You would now add 6 hours by the 2 hours initially traveled at 4 mph, and get 8 hours.
Answer:
I think this is the answer! 2x3 + 5x2 - x - 6 let me know if it’s right :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
32.10
Step-by-step explanation:
7% = 0.07
30 x 0.07=2.10
30+ 2.10=32.10
Price before Taxes: $ 30.00
+ Sales Tax (7%): $ 2.10
Total Price with Tax: $ 32.10
3. 180 - (53+68) = 59
The answer is B. 59°
4.
Part A: The measure of a is 70°.
Explanation: The angle sum in any triangle is 180°. 70 + 40 is 110. To find the final angle, subtract 110 from 180. 180 - 110 = 70
Part B: The length of x is 5m.
Explanation. The triangle is an isosceles triangle. We know this because the two angles on the base are equal. Since this is an isosceles triangle, the two longer sides are the same length. Therefore: x = 5 m.
