Answer: the price of a guppy is $3.19 and the price of a platy is $2.19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the price of a guppy.

Let y represent the price of a platy.

Marta brought 3 guppies and 2 platies for a total of $13.95. It means that

3x + 2y = 13.95 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Hank also bought 3 guppies and 4 platies for a total of $18.33. It means that

3x + 4y = 18.33 - - - - - - - - - - - 2

Subtracting equation 2 from equation 1, it becomes

2y - 4y = 13.95 - 18.33

- 2y = - 4.38

y = - 4.38/ - 2

y = 2.19

Substituting y = 2.19 into equation 1, it becomes

3x + 2 × 2.19 = 13.95

3x + 4.38 = 13.95

3x = 13.95 - 4.38 = 9.57

x = 9.57/3 = 3.19

The sides of triangle ABC are 4.5feet 7.5 ft and 9 ft.The area is about 17 square feet. Explain how to use the are of triangle A
Nuetrik [128]
In order to get the area of a triangle using sides, the formula that we are going to use is Heron's formula. This is after from "Hero of Alexandria".
So here is the step by step process:
First, we calculate for s (half of the triangles perimeter) s = a+b+c divided by 2.
s = 6 + 10 + 12 / 2
s =28/2
s = 14
Now that we have the s, we can now calculate for the area.
A = square root of s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
A= square root of 14 x 8 x 4 x 2
A= square root of 896
A = 29.93
The area of triangle DEF is 29.93 square feet or 30 square feet. Hope this answer helps.

Fill in the table to convert the units of time from hours to minutes or minutes to hours.
tester [92]
Ok so first we need to under stand that 60 minutes is equivalent to 1 hour, by knowing this we should be able to answer the following. Our first box which needs to be filled in asking how many hours are in 300 minutes, well let’s figure this out. So we know that in 60 minutes it will be equivalent to one hours, so in order to find how many minutes are in 300 minutes we would divide 300 by 60 which give a us 5. Therefore causing the second box to me 5 hours. Our next and final box is asking how many hours are in four minutes well this one is a little harder than our previous one but I’ll help you through it. By following the same procedure as we did the previous question we are going to divide 4 by 60 and we know that dividing like so we are going to get a decimal but that’s ok it’s going to give us the answer we need to fill in the box. By dividing like so we should get a long decimal that look that this 0.066666666666667. I am going to simply this down to 0.0667. Causing my last box to be 0.667.
Summary:
second box: 5 hours
Third box: 0.0667 hours
Hope this helps!!!
