Let t, h, b represent the weighs of tail, head, and body, respectively.
t = 4 . . . . given
h = t + b/2 . . . . the head weighs as much as the tail and half the body
b/2 = h + t . . . . half the body weighs as much as the head and tail
_____
Substituting for b/2 in the second equation using the expression in the third equation, we have
... h = t + (h + t)
Subtracting h from both sides gives
... 0 = 2t . . . . . . in contradiction to the initial statement about tail weight.
Conclusion: there's no solution to the problem given here.
Given:
May:
hamburger: 3.2 pounds * 4.25 = 13.60
hotdogs: 3 packages * 4 = 12
Total cost: 13.60 + 12 = 25.60
June:
hamburger: 3.2 pounds * 1 1/2 = 4.8 pounds * 4.25 = 20.4
hotdogs: 3 packages * 1/3 = 1 package * 4 = 4
Total cost: 20.4 + 4 = 24.4
25.60 - 24.40 = 1.20
They spent more on May by $1.20. Choice C.
Answer:
14m
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a circle is given by
A = pi r^2
153.86 = 3.14 r^2
Divide each side by 3.14
153.86 /3.14 = r^2
49 = r^2
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(49) = sqrt(r^2)
7 = r
We want the diameter which is twice the radius
d = 2r
d =2*7
d =14
I am guessing that the correct form of equation
is:
f(x)
= 16,800(0.9)^x
where
x is the exponent of (0.9)
Since
we are looking for the original population and x stand sfor the number of years,
therefore x=0
substituting:
f(x) = 16,800(0.9)^0
Since (0.9)^0 would just be equal to 1. Therefore
the original population is
16,800.
Answer: B. 16,800
