Answer:

The number of strawberry baskets sold was 44

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of strawberry baskets sold

y ---> the number of raspberries baskets sold

we know that

In one morning, Katya sells 96 baskets for $644

so

x+y=96 ----> equation A

4x+9y=644 ---> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (44.52)

see the attached figure

therefore

The number of strawberry baskets sold was 44 and the number of raspberries baskets sold was 52

oee [108]

Answer:

  a) 14√5 feet

  b) about 31.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The 42-ft hose is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with one leg 28 ft. We are asked to find the other leg. The Pythagorean theorem is useful.

  h² +(28 ft)² = (42 ft)²

  h² = (1764 -784) ft² = 980 ft²

  h = √(196·5) ft

  h = 14√5 ft

__

b) The approximate height is ...

  14√5 ≈ 31.305, about 31.3 feet

Why does dividing 5 by a decimal less than 1 give a quotient greater than 5
goldenfox [79]
5 x 0.2 = 25

Or to put it a different way

25 / 0.2 = 5

Dividing something by a number greater than 1 gives you a smaller number
Dividing something by 1 gives the same number
Dividing something a number smaller than 1 gives you a larger number

Please someone help with this
Kryger [21]

ok, i will help you.

For the first equation, we have points

(-1, -4)

and

(1, -1)

we also know the y-intercept is

(0, -2)

we can make systems of equations to solve for the equation of this exponiental function

y=ab^x

-1=ab

-2=a*1

a=-2

-1=-2(b)

b=1/2

The exponiental fufnction here is y=(-2)(1/2)^x

2nd equation

(0, 6)

(1, 12)

12=ab

6=a*b^0=6

a=6

12=6(b)

b=2

2nd equation is

y=6(2)^x

R varies directly as s. Find r when s=10 and k=4
nadezda [96]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, r varies directly as s

\therefore \: r \:  \:  \alpha \:  \: s \\  \therefore \: r  = k s..(1) \:  \\ (k =  \: constant \: of \: proportionality ) \\ plug \: s = 10 \: and \: k = 4 \:  in \: equation \: (1) \\ r = 4 \times 10 \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ \therefore \: r  =40}}
