8 0

Answer:

11/20

Step-by-step explanation:

To be able to find the fraction of the cake that Jake ate if you know that he ate 55% of it, you have to turn the 55% into a fraction. To do this, first you have to divide the percent by 100:

55/100

Then, you have to simplify the fraction. In this case, you can do it by dividing by 5:

11/20

According to this, the fraction of the cake that Jake ate is 11/20.

John and his son are building a boxcar for a group competition. According to the rules of the competition, the length of the car

kozerog [31]

Answer:

x ≥ y + 2

0.50 (x) (x+3) + 2.25 (4) (y) ≤ 50

Step-by-step explanation:

x = width of the car

x+3 = length of the car

y = radius of the car

The width must be at least 2 inches greater than the radius, so:

x ≥ y + 2

The total cost must be no more than $50, so:

0.50 (x) (x+3) + 2.25 (4) (y) ≤ 50

Write an equation for each context. Draw a model first if necessary, and make sure you define your variable and what it represen

Bad White [126]

Answer:

(a)$2248.8

(b) 14, 28, 16 and 7 candies

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) the model can be represented by the nth term of an arithmetic progression

L = a + (n-1)d

L= the amount in his account after 6 month; $12484

a= the amount in his account six month before; $1240

n = 6, being the sixth month of his deposit

d = the amount deposited monthly

12484 = 1240 + 5d:

12484-1240 = 5d

5d= 11244

d = 2248.8

(b) let the 1st box contain = x

2nd = 2x; 3rd = x + 2, 4th = 1/4(2x)

Hence; x + 2x + x +2 + 1/4(2x) = 65

4x + x/2 = 65-2

9x/2 = 63 ; 9x = 126. ; x = 14

The 5 players get in all 5 racket + 5 cans since Simon is a member

Therefore, 5r + 5c = 415

But each can cost $4,

5r + 5* 4 = 415; 6r = 415-20

5r = 395 ; r = 395/5

r = $ 79

The racket cost $79 each.

11. The price of a bottle of water at a store decreases from $1.65 to $1.40. Rounded to the nearest

ELEN [110]

Answer:

A. 15.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the new price from the old one to find the dollar amount that the water bottle price was reduced.

$1.65-1.40=0.25$

The price was reduced by 25 cents, but we need to find the percentage. To do that, we divide the price reduction by the original price.

$0.25/1.65=0.152$

And then move the decimal place over two spots (multiply by 100)
