Answer: 2.5 pounds of beef  and 3.25 pounds of pork

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the answer is incomplete because is lacking how much more pork she bought. <em>She bought 0.75 pounds more pork than beef and spends $15.25</em>, is the complete form.

So, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

  • <em>Beef: $3.50 per pound </em>
  • <em>Pork: $2.00 per pound </em>
  • <em>Pounds of beef = x </em>
  • <em>Pounds of pork = x + 0.75 </em>
  • <em>Total cost : $15.25</em>

So, the equation is:

3.50x + 2 (x+0.75) = 15.25

3.50x +2x + 1.5 =15.25

5.50 x = 15.25 -1.5

5.50x = 13.75

x = 13.75/5.50  

x = 2.5 pounds of beef

Replacing the value of x in the Pork's equation:

Pounds of pork = x +0.75 = 0.75 +2.5 = 3.25 pounds of pork

Answer:

6) 48/52

7)48/73

Step-by-step explanation:

SohCahToa

  • Sine of an angle = Opposite side/Hypotenuse

  • Cosine of an angle = Adjacent side/Hypotenuse

  • Tangent of an angle = Opposite side/Adjacent side

These three operators can be thought of as ratios of certain sides of a triangle. A ratio is just a comparison of two quantities; or lengths of the sides in this case.

1.) A 20° sector in a circle has an area of 21.5π yd².
a_sh-v [17]

<u>Part 1)</u> A 20° sector in a circle has an area of 21.5π yd².

What is the area of the circle?  

we know that

the area of a circle represent a sector of 360 degrees

so by proportion

\frac{21.5\pi }{20} =\frac{x}{360} \\ \\ x*20=360*21.5\pi \\ \\x=(360*21.5*3.14)/20\\ \\x= 1,215.18\ yd^{2}    

therefore

<u>the answer part 1) is</u>

The area of the circle is 1,215.18\ yd^{2}

<u>Part 2)</u> What is the area of a sector with a central angle of 3π/5 radians and a diameter of 21.2 cm?

we know that

the area of the circle is equal to

A=\pi r^{2}

where

r is the radius of the circle

in this problem we have

Diameter=21.2\ cm\\ r=Diameter/2\\r=21.2/2\\r= 10.6\ cm

<u>Find the area of the circle</u>

A=\pi r^{2}

A=\pi*10.6^{2}

A=352.8104\ cm^{2}

<u>Find the area of the sector</u>

we know that the area of the circle represent a sector of 2\pi radians

by proportion

\frac{352.8104}{2\pi }=\frac{x}{(3\pi/5)} \\\\x*2\pi=(3\pi*352.8104)/5\\ \\x= 105.84\ cm^{2}

therefore

<u>the answer part 2) is</u>

the area of the sector is

105.84\ cm^{2}

The school librarian, Mr. Marker, knows the library has 1,400 books but wants to reorganize how the books are displayed on the s
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

200 resource books

800 fiction books

400 nonfiction books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define x as the amount of resource books that are in the library. As he has four times as many fiction books as resource books, that means he has 4*x fiction books.

We also know he has half as many nonfiction books as fiction books, that is 1/2*4*x = 2*x nonfiction books.

We just need to find out the value of x.

We know there are 1,400 books in total and there are just 3 types of books. Therefore, if we sum all of them, we get the 1,400.

Written in math language, that is

x + 4x + 2x = 1,400

7x = 1,400

We divide by 7 on both sides and we get

7/7x = 1,400/7

x = 200

Now we replace the x with 200 to know how many books he has of each type:

Resource books = x = 200

Fiction books = 4*x = 4*200 = 800

Nonfiction books = 2*x = 2*200 = 400

Therefore, there are 200 resource books, 800 fiction books and 400 nonfiction books in the library.
