Answer:

Each apple pie requires 8 apples, and each apple tart requires 4 apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that both Pamela and Nicole bake the same amount of apple pies, but different amounts of apple tarts. Because of this, we can subtract the two to try to figure out the amount of apples for each apple tart. We subtract 68 from 76, giving us 8. Nicole baked 9 apple tarts, while Pamela baked 7, and 9-7=2. So we can bake two apple tarts with 8 apples, so one apple tart requires 4 apples (we divide by 2). Now that we know the amount of apples per each apple tart, we multiply 7 apple tarts that Pamela made by 4 apples, giving us 28. We subtract that from the total amount of apples Pamela used, which was 68, giving us 40. From this we can deduct that 5 apple pies need 40 apples, and we divide by 5, giving us 1 apple pie requires 8 apples.

Find the surface area of the regular pentagonal pyramid.
mr_godi [17]
Area of each side triangle is 1/2*8*15 = 60. There are 5 of them so the triangles have surface area 300. the pentagon's area 1/2*apothegm*sidelength*sides = 1/2*5.5*8*5 = 110. The total area is therefore 300+110 = 410

Help Me Pls Thanks <3

If there are 150 total instruments in said Orchestra, we'll need to divide that number in half.
75, simple enough. Now we know that half of 150 is 75.
Start by writing your problem like this: 150= 75w+37.5b
That equation is all I can think of, because 37.5 is half of 75, which means that's roughly the number you're looking for. Sorry if this doesn't help much<span />
