A small furniture company manufac- tures sofas and recliners. Each sofa requires 8 hours of labor and $180 in materials, while a

recliner can be built for $105 in 6 hours. The company has 340 hours of labor available each week and can afford to buy $6750 worth of materials. How many recliners and sofas can be produced if all labor hours and all materials must be used?

Answer:

30 and 20 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of sofas to be built be s and the number of recliners be r.

For the time part, we have the following equation:

8s + 6r = 340

For the money part:

180s + 105r = 6750

Now let’s solve these equations simultaneously.

Let’s change the form of the second equation:

180s + 17.5(6r) = 6750

From the first equation, 6r = 340 - 8s

Insert this into the third equation

180s + 17.5(340-8s) = 6750

180s + 5950 - 140s = 6750

40s = 6750 - 5950

40s = 800

s = 20

Substitute the value into the first equation

8(20) + 6r = 340

6r + 160 = 340

6r = 180

r = 30

Bond [772]
We try to represent the data in segments from 0 to 20.
<span>The length of the line segment along the number line from 0 to 5 is 5 - 0 = 5 units. The length of the line segment along the number line from 20 to 5 is 20 - 5 = 15 units. If you were to randomly throw a dart on this number line, then the probability of landing in the shaded region is 15/20 = 3/4 or 75%</span>

A wireless company offers two cell phone plans. For the month of September, Plan A charges $35 plus $0.25 per minute for calls.
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

60 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of minutes be represented as x

For Plan A

Plan A charges $35 plus $0.25 per minute for calls.

$35 + $0.25 × x

35 + 0.25x

For Plan B

Plan B charges $20 plus $0.50 per minute for calls.

$20 + $0.50 × x

20 + 0.50x

For what number of minutes do both plans cost the same amount?

This is calculated by equating Plan A to Plan B

Plan A = Plan B

35 + 0.25x = 20 + 0.50x

Collect like terms

35 - 20 = 0.50x - 0.25x

15 = 0.25x

x = 15/0.25

x = 60 minutes.

Hence, the number of minutes that both plans cost the same amount is 60 minutes

A, B &amp; C form the vertices of a triangle.
Savatey [412]

Answer:

BC = 17.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since CAB = 90º, this is a right triangle.

The triangle format is given below:

C

A           B

We have that AB = 8.6, and angle B measures 60º.

Length of BC:

BC is the hypotenyse.

Side AB is adjacent to angle B = 60º.

In a right triangle, angle \alpha, it's adjacent side with length s and the hypotenuse h are related by the cosine of the angle, that is:

\cos{\alpha} = \frac{s}{h}

In this question, we have an angle of 60º, with has cosine 0.5. We also have that side AB = s = 8.6, and the hypotenuse h is side BC. So

\cos{\alpha} = \frac{s}{h}

0.5 = \frac{8.6}{h}

0.5h = 8.6

h = \frac{8.6}{0.5}

h = 17.2

BC = 17.2.
