Answer:

The number of chicken and cows should be 19 and 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of chicken and cows should be 19 and 11.

Given that,

The farm has 30 chickens and cows, and there are 82 chicken and cow legs all together.

Let x represent the number of chickens in the farm.

Let y represent the number of cows in the farm.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

x + y = 30

Since a chicken has 2 legs and a cow has 4 legs.

So,  

2x + 4y = 82 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Now  

Substituting x = 30 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2(30 - y) + 4y = 82

60 - 2y + 4y = 82

- 2y + 4y = 82 - 60

2y = 22

y = 11

Now

x = 30 - 11

= 19

david took 10 1/2 hours over 3 days to build airplane. he spent 3 1/4 hrs the firsr day and 4 2/3 hours the second day. how many
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
2 7/12 hours

X=101/2 - ( 3+4+1/4+2/3)

X=101/2 - 7 + (1/4+2/3)

1/4+2/3= 11/12

101/2 - 7 =3 1/5

X = 3 1/5 - 11/12 = 2 7/12

Answer:

There are 9 boys in the choir

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, create two equivalent fractions with the information given

boys      3         x

------- = ------ = ------

girls       4         12

Then, cross-multiply

4x = 3(12)

4x = 36

x = 9

point f has coordinated (8,-1), point g is symmetric to point f with respect to the line y=x, what are the coordinates of point
Alex17521 [72]
If points f and g are symmetric with respect to the line y=x, then the line connecting f and g is perpendicular to y=x, and f and g are equidistant from y=x.

This problem could be solved graphically by graphing y=x and (8,-1).  With a ruler, measure the perpendicular distance from y=x of (8,-1), and then plot point g that distance from y=x in the opposite direction.  Read the coordinates of point g from the graph.

Alternatively, calculate the distance from y=x of (8,-1).  As before, this distance is perpendicular to y=x and is measured along the line y= -x + b, where b is the vertical intercept of this line.  What is b?  y = -x + b must be satisfied by (8,-1):  -1 = -8 + b, or b = 7.  Then the line thru (8,-1) perpendicular to y=x is     y = -x + 7.  Where does this line intersect y = x?

y = x = y = -x + 7, or 2x = 7, or x = 3.5.  Since y=x, the point of intersection of y=x and y= -x + 7 is (3.5, 3.5).

Use the distance formula to determine the distance between (3.5, 3.5) and (8, -1).  This produces the answer to this question.

Your family is installing a new square pool in the backyard. The existing patio has a side length of 8 feet. How much of the pat
trasher [3.6K]

The question is an illustration of perimeters.

The amount of patio to remove to install the pool is 8 feet.

From the question, we have:

\mathbf{Length\ of\ the\ pool = 8}

\mathbf{Length\ of\ walkway = 1}

The perimeter of the patio is:

\mathbf{P_p = 4 \times Length\ of\ the\ pool}

\mathbf{P_p = 4 \times 8}

\mathbf{P_p = 32}

A 1ft walkway means that;

1ft would be subtracted from both sides of the patio before installing the pool

So, the perimeter of the patio in terms of the length of the pool is:

\mathbf{P_p = 4 \times (x  +2)}

Equate both expressions

\mathbf{P_p = P_p}

\mathbf{4 \times (x  +2) = 32}

Divide both sides by 4

\mathbf{x  +2 = 8}

Subtract 2 from both sides

\mathbf{x = 6}

So, the perimeter of the pool is:

\mathbf{P_{pool} = 4 \times 6}

\mathbf{P_{pool} = 24}

The amount of patio to remove is:

\mathbf{Amount = P_p - P_{pool}}

So, we have:

\mathbf{Amount = 32 - 24}

\mathbf{Amount = 8}

Hence, 8ft of the patio would be removed to install the pool
