Together, teammates Pedro and Ricky got 2673 base hits last season. Pedro had 277 more hits than Ricky. How many hits did each

ioda

Answer:

Pedro got 1520 base hits and Ricky got 1243.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of base hits that Pedro got.

y is the number of base hits that Ricky got.

Pedro and Ricky got 2673 base hits last season.

This means that $x + y = 2763$

Pedro had 277 more hits than Ricky.

This means that $x = y + 277$

Replacing in the first equation

$x + y = 2763$

$y + 277 + y = 2763$

$2y = 2486$

$y = \frac{2486}{2}$

$y = 1243$

$x = y + 277 = 1243 + 277 = 1520$

Pedro got 1520 base hits and Ricky got 1243.

After *triangle* ACE is dilated by a factor of 5, It has an area of 100 square inches. What was its area before dilation?

Anarel [89]

<h3>Answer: 4 square inches</h3>

Explanation:

Square the linear scale factor to get 5^2 = 25

This means that,

new area = 25*(old area)

We take this idea in reverse to find the old area

old area = (new area)/25

old area = (100 sq inches)/25

old area = 4 square inches

A car traveled from Los Angeles to San Francisco in 6 hours at an average rate of x miles per hour. If the car returned along th

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What we need to know simply is the time taken for both trips. We know the car spent 6 hours on the first leg, that is settled.

What we do not know is the time spent on the second leg. To get the time spent on the second leg of the journey, we only need to get the total distance divided by the speed.

We can get the distance using the first part of the question. The time is 6 hours and the speed is x miles per hour, the total distance is this 6x miles.

Now we need to know the time spent on the second leg of the journey. We know that the distance is the same. Hence the time spent is 6x/y where y is the speed for the second leg and 6x is the length of each leg

Now the total time spent is thus (6x/y +6) hours. We need to however convert this to minutes. We do this by multiplying by 60

(6x/y + 6) * 60

Joel’s veterinarian tells him that he can give his dog 11 5/8 mg of Benadryl for relief of his dogs allergies. Joel’s dog weighs

Sav [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The dosage of Benadryl for Dog is $11\dfrac{5}{8}\ mg$

Weight of Joel's Dog is $15\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{pounds}$

(a) Benadryl dosage per pound for Joel’s dog is calculated as :

$\dfrac{11\dfrac{5}{8}}{15\dfrac{1}{2}}=\dfrac{\dfrac{11\times 8+5}{8}}{\dfrac{15\times 2+1}{2}}\\\\=\dfrac{\dfrac{93}{8}}{\dfrac{31}{2}}\\\\=\dfrac{93}{8}\times \dfrac{2}{31}\\\\=0.75\ \text{dosage per pound}$

(b) If the weight of the Dog is 12 pounds, it means

$\dfrac{11\dfrac{5}{8}}{12}\ \text{dosage per pounds}\\\\=\dfrac{\dfrac{93}{8}}{12}\\\\=\dfrac{93}{8}\times \dfrac{1}{12}\\\\=0.968\ \text{dosage per pounds}$

Therefore, this is the required solution.
