Aleksandr [31]3 years ago

Answer:

  4. Nelson: 14; Alison: 36

  5. May: 12; April: 18

  7. Student: 7; Instructor: 27   --   caveat emptor

Step-by-step explanation:

4. Quick answer: The time between Alison being 2 times her son's age (age ratio = 4:2) and 3 times her son's age is 11 years. That means each "ratio unit" stands for 11 years. 3 years ago, when Alison was 3 times her son's age, he was 11 and she was 33. Now, he is 14 and she is 36.

<em>Check</em>

In 8 years, he will be 22 and she will be 44, twice his age.

__

If you want to write a system of equations, you can use A for Alison's age and N for Nelson's age.

  A+8 = 2(N+8) . . . . relation of ages in 8 years

  A -3 = 3(N -3) . . . . relation of ages 3 years ago

We can equate expressions for A:

  2(N +8) -8 = A = 3(N -3) +3

  2N +8 = 3N -6

  14 = N

  A = 2(14 +8) -8 = 36

Alison is 36; Nelson is 14.

____

5. Quick answer: The sum of ages 6 years from now will be 36. Then April will be twice May's present age. That is, May's present age is 1/3 0f 36 = 12. April is 30 -12 = 18. Now, April is 18 and May is 12.

<em>Check</em>

10 years from now, April will be 28. That is 4 years more than 2·12 = 24.

__

Once again, you can write a system of equations:

  A + M = 30

  A +10 = 2M +4

Again, equating expressions for A, we have ...

  30 -M = A = (2M +4) -10

  36 = 3M . . . . . simplify, add M+6

  12 = M

  A = 30 -12 = 18

April is 18; May is 12.

_____

7. Makes no sense. The first sentence says the age difference is 20 years. The second sentence says the age difference is 5 years. It can't be both. Something is missing somewhere.

__

If we assume the word "twice" is missing, then the system of equations for Instructor and Student can be ...

  I = S + 20

  I + 8 = 2(S +8) +5

Substituting for I, we have ...

  S +20 +8 = 2S +16 +5

  7 = S . . . . . . subtract S+21

  I = 7+20 = 27

The instructor is 27, the student is 7.

<em>Check</em>

In 8 years, the instructor will be 35 and the student will be 15. At 35, the instructor will be 5 years more than twice the student's age.

__

We have essentially written our own problem statement here. Your problem statement, and your answer, may vary.

Can somebody help me out ??
julia-pushkina [17]
Answer: y = -3/2x -5

explanation:
y = mx + b
7 = -3/2(-8)+b
7= 12 +b
subtract 12 on both sides
-5 = b

y = -3/2x - 5

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

2. Alex sent the questionnaire only to those who live near her.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given scenario is :

Alex is conducting a survey for a car company. She decides to start by interviewing some people in her neighborhood.

She prepares a questionnaire and emails it to 50 neighbors who own cars. Of those neighbors, 24 respond.  

We can see that Alex sent the questionnaire to only her neighbors or people who live near her, so this will be the reason the sample will be biased.

8)Reduce a las unidades indicadas: a)18 cm 3 a dm 3
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

(a) 0.018 dm^3

(b) 20 x 10^15 ml^3

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 18 cm^3 to dm^3

1 cm = 0.1 dm

So,

1 cm^3 = 0.001 dm^3

So, 18 cm^3 = 18 x 0.001 dm^3 = 0.018 dm^3

b) 20 hl^3 to ml^3

1 hl = 100000 ml

So, 1 hl^3 = 10^15 ml^3

So,

20  hl^3 = 20 x 10^15 ml^3.
