Answer:

77 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of books sold by Jessica be A and Josh be B.

Cost of one book = $20

Jessica sold 11 times Josh .

That’s A = 11B

Together they sold 84 books.

That’s A + B = 84

We now have two equations ,

Equation 1 : A = 11B

Equation 2: A + B = 84

Substitute 11B for A in equation 2.

We have ,

11B + B = 84

12B = 84

Divide both sides by 12

B = 84/12

B = 7

Josh sold 7 books

Now substitute 7 for B in either of the equations to get A. Using equation 1 , we have

A = 11B

A = 11 x 7

A = 77

Jessica sold 77 books while Josh sold 7

Answer: Jessica sold 77 books. Josh sold 7 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of books that Jessica sold.

Let y represent the number of books that Josh sold.

Together they sold 84 books. This means that

x + y = 84- - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Jessica sold 11 times more books than Josh. This means that

x = 11y

Substituting x = 11y into equation 1, it becomes

11y + y = 84

12y = 84

y = 84/12

y = 7

x = 11y = 11 × 7

x = 77

Semenov [28]
Not exactly sure, but just by my knowledge and common sense I'd say Tyler. He ate 3/4 so he ate most out of what was given to him.

A 30 gram sample of a substance that's used to sterilize surgical instruments has a k-value of 0.1235. Find the substances half
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer : The substances half life in days is, 5.6 days.

Step-by-step explanation :

Half life : It is defined as the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

All radioactive decays follow first order kinetics.

The relation between the half-life and rate constant is:

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

where,

k = rate constant = 0.1235 per days

t_{1/2} = half-life

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

0.1235\text {days}^{-1}=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

t_{1/2}=5.6\text{ days}

Thus, the substances half life in days is, 5.6 days.
