Answer:

140 toy cars

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of Ed's toy car to Pete's toy car is initially given as 5:2

Ed gave Pete a total number of 30 cars

Let x represent the greatest common factor that exists between both number

Number of Ed's car is represented as 5x

Number of Pete car is represented as 2x

Since they each have an equal number of cars which is 30 then we can solve for x as follows

5x-30=2x+30

Collect the like terms

5x-2x= 30+30

3x= 60

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 3

3x/3=60/3

x=20

Ed's car is 5x, we substitute 20 for x

5(20)

= 100 cars

Pete car is 2x,we substitute 20 for x

2(20)

= 40 cars

Therefore, the total number of cars can be calculated as follows

= 100+40

= 140 toy cars

Hence they have 140 toy cars altogether

Total surface area of the drawing
Crazy boy [7]
The pentagon's area is the sum of the 5 triangles that comprise it.  This is

5( \frac{1}{2}bh) \times 2=5(9)(6.2)= 279

where the factor of 2 accounts for the top and bottom.  The walls have an area of 5 rectangles

5(bh)=5(9)(6)=270 \\  \\ 279+270=549km^2

Find two additional roots of P(x)=0.<br><br> 13+sqrt 3 and 7i
vova2212 [387]
So, x = 13, x = √3 and x =7i.

now, recall that for an EVEN radical, there are two possible roots, namely is say √3 is say hmmm some value "a", that means that a*a = √3, however, -a*-a is also √3, therefore, ±√3 are two valid values, and therefore -√3 is another one.

now.... keep in mind that, complex solutions or roots, never come all by their lonesome, their sister is always with them, the conjugate, so, for 7i or namely 0 + 7i, her sister is always around, 0 - 7i, which is the other root.

A number is selected from the set (1, 2, 3, 5, 15, 21, 29, 38, 500). If equal elemental probabilities are assigned, what is
Katen [24]

Answer:

\frac{7}{9} OR 77.78%

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we first need to find out how many numbers fit the "less than 29 or odd" group.

This would be: 1, 2, 3, 5, 15, 21, and 29, which is a total of 7 numbers.

Next, we figure out the total amount of numbers in the population.

This would be: 1, 2, 3, 5, 15, 21, 29, 38, and 500, which is a total of 9 numbers.

Finally, we put the first number (7) over the total (9) = \frac{7}{9}

\frac{7}{9} is now able to be written in a percentage, if you need.

The probability is \frac{7}{9} OR 77.78%

Stephen's lunch bill is currently at $8.33. Stephen orders a fruit salad for take-out, and wants to leave $2.25 as a tip for his
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

$1.53

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the change in the bill is shown below:

Total money he has to pay is

= $8.33 + $2.25

= $13.47

And, he have  

= $10 + $5

= $15

So, the change would be

= $15 - $13.47

= $1.53
