Hi there.

So, Mr. Evans wants to divide 32 students into 8 equal groups. While he wants to use repeated subtraction of 3, the correct answer is to use division of 8.

Let's put that into math.

32/8 = 4

I don't agree with Mr. Evans because 32 students divided equally into groups of 8 means 4 students per group.

Let me know if this was easy to understand :)

Answer:

(- $\frac{4}{3}$ , 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x + 8y = 28 → (1)

3x + 2y = 4 → (2)

Subtracting (2) from (1) term by term will eliminate the x- term

(3x - 3x) + (8y - 2y) = (28 - 4), that is

6y = 24 ( divide both sides by 6 )

y = 4

Substitute y = 4 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

3x + 8(4) = 28

3x + 32 = 28 ( subtract 32 from both sides )

3x = - 4 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = - $\frac{4}{3}$

Solution is (- $\frac{4}{3}$ , 4 )

Divide 48 by 4 and you get 12 ounces. Therefore, each 1/4 of a bucket is equal to 12 ounces. divide 48 by 3 and you get 16 ounces. Therefore, each 1/3 of a bucket is 16 ounces. Divide 48 by 6 and you get 8 ounces. 8 multiplyed by 5 is 40. Add 40 16 and 12 and you get 68 ounces

Answer:

c ≈ 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle

sin40° = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{BC}{AC}$ = $\frac{26}{c}$ ( multiply both sides by c )

c × sin40° = 26 ( divide both sides by sin40° )

c = $\frac{26}{sin40}$ ≈ 40 ( to the nearest whole number )

Heather left the hospital and drove toward the desert at an average speed of 35 km/h. Danielle left sometime later driving in th

elena55 [62]

Answer:

Danielle drove 3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose Heather moved in the x direction.

Then Danielle moved in the opposite direction, that is, she moved in the -x direction.

Let's call $V_1$ , $x_1$ , $t_1$ at the speed, distance and time that I code Heather

Let's call $V_2$ , $x_2$ , $t_2$ at the speed, distance and time Danielle codes.

Observe the following diagram:

(x) Heather <------ $x_1$ --------- hospital ---------- $x_2$ -----------> Danielle (-x)

So:

$V_1 = 35\ km/h$

$t_1 = 4\ h$

$V_2 = 50\ km/h$

We know that after 4 hours the distance between Heather and Danielle was 290 km.

That is to say:

$x_2 + x_1 = 290\ km/h$

We know that $x_1= v_1t_1$

$x_1 = 35(4)$

$x_1 = 140\ km$

We already know $x_1$ , the distance from the hospital to Heather, so we can find $x_2$ and thus know $t_2$

So:

$x_2 = 290 - 140\\\\x_2 = 150\ km$

Then:

$t_2 = \frac{x_2}{v_2}\\\\t_2 = \frac{150}{50}\\\\t_2 = 3\ h$
