Part 1) Use the fact that there are 12 inches in a foot

a) How many inches tall is a 7 foot basketball player?

we know that

1 foot=12 inches

so by proportion

$\frac{12}{1} \frac{inches}{foot} =\frac{x}{7} \frac{inches}{feet} \\ \\x=12*7\\ \\x=84\ inches$

therefore

the answer Part 1a) is

$84\ inches$

Part b) If a yard is a 3 feet long, how many inches are in a yard?

we know that

1 yard=3 feet

1 foot=12 inches

so

Convert 3 feet to inches

by proportion

$\frac{12}{1} \frac{inches}{foot} =\frac{x}{3} \frac{inches}{feet} \\ \\x=12*3\\ \\x=36\ inches$

therefore

the answer Part 1b) is

$36\ inches$

Part 2) At the farmer's market two pounds of peaches cost $4.20 How much will five pounds cost?

by proportion

$\frac{4.20}{2} \frac{\$}{pounds} =\frac{x}{5} \frac{\$}{pounds} \\ \\2*x=4.2*5\\ \\x=4.2*5/2=\$10.5$

therefore

the answer Part 2) is

$\$10.5$

Part 3) Janice mother gave her a ten dollars bill to buy five pounds each of bananas and apples at the grocery store. When she got there she found that bananas were 80 c per pound and apples were $1.40 per pound.

Did Janice's mother give her enough money? If so, should she receive any change? If not, how much more money does she need?

we know that

Find the cost of the bananas

$5\ pounds*0.80\frac{\$}{pounds}=\$4$

Find the cost of the apples

$5\ pounds*1.40\frac{\$}{pounds}=\$7$

Sum the cost of the bananas and the cost of the apples

$\$4+\$7=\$11$

$\$11 > \$10$ ------> Janice's mother didn't give her enough money

She needs more money

She needs-------> $\$11-\$10=\$1$

therefore

the answer part 3) is

She needs $\$1$ more

Vavilen inflated a huge balloon in 19 minutes. Then he poked a hole in the balloon so that it slowly leaked air out until it was

kaheart [24]

Considering balloon to be an spherical object

Volume of sphere = $\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$ , where r is the radius of sphere.

After 19 minutes ,If radius of balloon changes from r to R, the Volume changes from V to V'.

V'= $\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3$ ,

As given,rate at which the air leaked out of the balloon (in liters of air per minute) was half of the rate at which Vavilen inflated the balloon.

Also, $\frac{dR}{dt}=2 \times \frac{dr}{dt}$

Now, again the radius changes from R to r.So, Volume changes from V' to Back to V.

Time taken by the balloon to deflate = 38 minutes

But there is no relation between time and volume of Balloon.

So, we can't predict at which rate balloon is deflating or inflating.Apart from the statement given in Question: $\frac{dR}{dt}=2 \times \frac{dr}{dt}$

In a certain year, brand A of heart-rate watch cost $39.99 and brand B cost $59.99. A nonprofit community health organizatio

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Brand A = 21 heart-rate watches.

Brand B = 13 heart-rate watches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the number of Brand A heart watches and B be the number of Brand B heart watches.

We have been given that a nonprofit community health organization purchased 34 heart-rate watches for use at a wellness center.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

$A+B=34...(1)$

We have been given that in a certain year, brand A of heart-rate watch cost $39.99 and brand B cost $59.99 and the organization spent $1619.66 for the watches.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

$39.99*A+59.99*B=1619.66...(2)$
