Answer:

The amount of reward that Sophia receives is $\$13$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> amount of reward that Sophia receives

y-----> amount of reward that Isabella receives

we know that

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1}{8}$

$x=\frac{1}{8}y$ ------> equation A

$x+y=117$ -----> equation B

Substitute equation A in equation B

$\frac{1}{8}y+y=117$

$\frac{9}{8}y=117$

$y=117*8/9=\$104$

Find the value of x

$x=\frac{1}{8}(104)=\$13$

One important idea of the section "When Good Bananas Go Bad" is that experts say that we should grow only one type of banana in

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the section, "When Good Bananas Go Bad", we are made to understand that one of the reasons why the TR4 fungus can spread easily through banana roots is because, there is only one variety, which is the Cavendish variety. Experts advise that people should develop interest in other varieties like the Manzano, which has the taste of Apple and Strawberry.

Another reason given for the spread of the disease is increased human transportation. Although growing one type of banana would be beneficial for companies, the fact that they have the same genetic material, aids the spread of the disease. So, diversification is advised.

Which of the following is the solution to the following systems of inequalities? (picture included)

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

C. (see the attachment)

Step-by-step explanation:

Both inequalities include the "or equal to" case, so both boundary lines will be solid. That excludes choices A and D.

The first inequality is plotted the same way in all graphs, so we must look at the second inequality. The relationship of y and the comparison symbol is ...

-y ≥ (something)

If we multiply by -1, we get ...

y ≤ (something else)

This means the solution space will be on or below (less than or equal to) the boundary line. This is the shaded area in graph C. (Graph B shows shading above the line.)

___

Further comment

Since the boundary for the second inequality is fairly steep, "above" and "below" the line can be difficult to see. Rather, you can consider the relationship of x to the comparison symbol. For the second inequality, that is ...

x ≥ (something)

indicating the solution space is on or to the right of the boundary line.
