HACTEHA [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The number is 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number be T

From the question, 60% of the total number gives 48 i.e

60% of T = 48

60/100 x T = 48

Cross multiply to express in linear form

60T = 48 x 100

60T = 4800

Divide both side by the coefficient of T ie 60

T = 4800/60

T = 80

The number is 80

13 cans of paint with 5/6 liters of paint in each were used to paint 4 identical cars. How can you calculate the amount of paint
brilliants [131]

Answer:

(B) 5/6 ·13÷4

(C) 5/6 ÷4·13

(D) 5/6 · 13/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of paint per can = \[\frac{5}{6}\] liters.

Number of cans used to paint 4 cars = 13

Total amount of paint used for 4 cars = \[13 * \frac{5}{6}\] liters.

= \[\frac{13 * 5}{6}\] liters.

= \[\frac{65}{6}\] liters.

Total amount of paint used for 1 car = \[\frac{65}{6} \div 4\] liters.

= \[\frac{65}{24}\] liters.

Of the given options, option B,C and D correspond to the same value.

A rancher plans to make 4 identical and adjacent rectangular pens against a barn (see figure below), each with an area of 100 m^
Tasya [4]

Answer:

10 by 10 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

In calculus terms, you can use the formula for the perimeter which is 2l + 2w, and the area l × w.

Then since the area is 100

l × w = 100. So w = 100/l

Then substitute this into the perimeter formula.

w = 100/l → 2l + 2(w) = 2l + 2(100/l) = 2l + 200/l.

Then take the derivative d/dx [take the derivative of a quantity with respect to x], by using a simpler method known as the power rule:

d/dx[x^n] = nx^n-1

so p = 2l + 200/l becomes p' = 2 - 200/l^2

Since the derivative of a constant is 0, to solve for l, set p' to 0

0 = 2 - 200/l^2 → -200/l^2 = -2 → 200/l^2 = 2 → 2l^2 = 200 → l^2 = 100 → l = √100, l = 10.

Now that we know the length is 10, We can substitute the length in the original equation to find the width.

l = 10 → w = 100/l → w = 100/10, w = 10.

Therefore the perimeter of each rectangular pen is 40, with a length of 10 and width of 10.

If you want to do this algebraicly, there are more steps involved

Bonita spent $8.94 on groceries. She bought a gallon of milk for $4.29 and 3pounds of sliced turkey. How much does 1 pound of sl
Vesna [10]
<h2>Information</h2>

$8.94 spent in total on groceries

Gallon of milk = $4.29

3 pounds of sliced turkey bought = ?


<h2>Explanation</h2>

Subtract the total amount spent on groceries with what items you have prices for (in this case the gallon of milk):

$8.94 (total spent) - $4.29 (gallon of milk) = $4.65 (for 3 pounds of sliced turkey)

Next, divide the price for 3 pounds of sliced turkey with however many pounds Bonita bought (in this case, 3 pounds):

$4.65 (total for 3 pounds of turkey) ÷ 3 (pounds of turkey) = $1.55 (per pound of turkey)


<h2>Solution</h2>

Each pound of turkey costs $1.55
