Hello! 

For a:

How I would do this, is I would first say if all 46 animals (heads) were chickens, how many legs would there be? Each chicken has 2 legs, so 46 * 2 = 92. The total amount of legs is 96 as stated in the question, so if all of the animals were chickens, the farmer would be 4 legs short.

Now to add rabbits into the equation. Rabbits have 4 legs, and chickens have 2. You want to find the difference between the two, because as you add rabbits to the animals the farmer has, then you have to take away chickens at the same time. 4-2 = 2, so for each rabbit you replace, you add 2 legs. 

Since the farmer is 4 legs short with all chickens, then you just divide that 4 by the 2 legs you add by replacing a chicken with a rabbit.

4 / 2 = 2 rabbits

So that means there are 2 rabbits. Since there are 46 heads in total, if 2 are rabbits, that means there are 44 chickens.

So there are 44 chickens and 2 rabbits.

b)

You can follow the same steps: I'm assuming all are child tickets for now:

3.05 * 100 = $305

And now you find how much money short you are.

498.6 - 305 = 193.6

Next, you find the difference in the ticket costs.

5.25 - 3.05 = 2.20

And you divide to find the number of adult tickets.

193.6 / 2.2 = 88

Since 100 tickets were sold, and 88 adult tickets were sold, that means 12 child tickets were sold.

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

3/4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract Jimmys string length from Sam's string length

7 1/2 - 6 3/4

Get a common denominator of 4

7 1/2*2/2 - 6 3/4

7 2/4 - 6 3/4

Borrow 1 ( or 4/4) from the 7

6 4/4 + 2/4 - 6 3/4

6 6/4 - 6 3/4

3/4

Can some plz help me plz!!!!!
LiRa [457]
The choices are in the slope-intecept form: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Looking at the graph, the y-intercept is the point at which it intersects the y-axis. That would be -1. So, the answer is either  the 1st or 2nd choice. Next, we find the slope. Take 2 points that lie along the line. For example, points (1,2) and (2,5). Calculate for the slope.

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (5-2)/(2-1)
m = 3

Hence, the graph is y = 3x - 1

The perimeter of a parallelogram is 72 meters.The width of the parallelogram is four meters less than its length. Find the lengt
Naya [18.7K]
Parallelogram have 4 sides.

Use the distributive property. 2 multiply the last and negative 4 in the parentheses.
2l + 2(l - 4) = 72 m

Combine Like terms
2l + 2l - 8 = 72 m
4l - 8 = 72 m
Get l all by itself by adding 8 to both sides
4l - 8 = 72 m
+8. +8

Divide both sides by 4
4l = 80
4. 4

l= 20

The width of the parallelogram is four meters less than its length.

4 sides
2 length = 20
2 width = 16

I got 16 by subtracting 4 from 20
