P = ( 2 / 3 )s;
s = ( 3 / 5 )t ;
p + s + t = 280 ;
Then, p =( 2 / 3 )( 3 / 5 )t ;
p = ( 2 / 5 )t;
We solve the equation : ( 2 / 5 )t + ( 3 / 5 )t + t = 280 ;
( 2 / 5 )t + ( 3 / 5 )t + ( 5 / 5 )t = ( 1400 / 5 )t;
10t = 1400 ;
t = 1400 ÷ 10 ;
t = 140 postcards has Tim;
p = ( 2 / 5 ) × 140 = 56 postcards has Paul;
s = ( 3 / 5 ) × 140 = 84 postcards has Shawn ;

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Matias divided 7.6 by 10 raised to the power of -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Matias preformed an operation with 7.6 and a number. He ended up moving the decimal point in 7.6 two places to the left.

To find : Matias divided 7.6 by 10 raised to the power of ?

Solution :

Matias preformed an operation with 7.6 and a number.

He ended up moving the decimal point in 7.6 two places to the left we have to multiply it with 0.01

i.e. 7.6\times 0.01=\frac{7.6}{100}=0.076

So, Matias divided 7.6 by 10 raised to the power of -2.

Robert collected 330 aluminum cans. If 100 aluminum cans weigh 4 pounds, and the recycling center is paying 25 cents a pound, ho
labwork [276]
First, determine the weight of 330 cans with the given conditions,
                    (330 cans) x (4 lbs / 100 cans) = 13.2 lbs
Then, the price is determined by multiplying this weight to the price that the recycling center is paying,
                         (13.2 lbs) x (25 cents / lb)  = 330 cents = $3.3
Thus, Robert will be paid $3.3.

Which of these equations is always true?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

sin(x) = cos(90°-x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the graphs of sin(x) and cos(x), you can see that the peaks of the graph are separated by a value of pi/2. If you convert that value into degrees, then the two graphs are separated by 90°. Another way of thinking is from the unit circle. sin(x) = 1 at 90°, and cos(x)=1 at 0°. The difference is still 90°
