Answer: The required number of large order of chicken tenders is 5.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Sheila loves to eat chicken tenders. A small order comes with 5 chicken tenders, and a large order comes with 8 chicken tenders.

Last month, Sheila ordered chicken tenders a total of 7 times. She received a total of 50 chicken tenders.

We are to find the number of large chicken tenders received by Sheila.

Let x and y represents the number of small orders and large orders respectively of chicken tenders.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$x+y=7\\\\\Rightarrow x=7-y~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

and

$5x+8y=50\\\\\Rightarrow 5(7-y)+8y=50~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{Using equation (i)}]\\\\\Rightarrow 35-5y+8y=50\\\\\Rightarrow 3y=50-35\\\\\Rightarrow 3y=15\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{15}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow y=5.$

Thus, the required number of large order of chicken tenders is 5.

Bus A leaves the station every 30 mins bus b leaves the station every 20 mins at 10 am both buses leave the station together wor

Answer: 11am

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we have to calculate the lowest common multiple of 20 and 30. This will be:

20 = 20, 40, 60, 80, 100

30 = 30, 60, 90, 120, 150.

Here, the lowest common multiple is 60.

Therefore, we add 60 minutes to 10am. This will be:

= 10am + 1 hour

= 11 am

The next time that both buses leave at the same time would be 11am

The area ratio is 1:16 meaning that the old area is 1 while the new area is 16. So this is another way of saying "the area is multiplied by 16"

Take the square root of each part of the ratio of 1:16 and we get 1:4

So this is the scale factor. It tells us how the linear components of the circles relate to one another. If the circumference of the smaller circle is 1,then the larger circle has a circumference of 4.

Therefore, the circumference has been multiplied by 4
