Answer:
<u>Answer (a):</u>
s + l = 22 ... (i)
43s + 75l = 1234 ... (ii)
<u>Answer (b)</u>
9 large dogs.
Step-by-step explanation:
Paws at Play made a total of $1234 grooming 22 dogs.
Paws at Play charges $43 to groom each small dog and;
$75 for each large dog.
Let the number of small dogs be 's'
And the number of large dogs be 'l'
<u>A system of equations will be:</u>
s + l = 22 ... (i)
43s + 75l = 1234 ... (ii)
Solving this set of simultaneous equations by elimination, we simply multiply (i) by 43 to get;
43s + 43l = 946 ... (i)
43s + 75l = 1234 ... (ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii) we get;
32l = 288 , l = 
= 9
So there are 9 large dogs.
Answer:
The correct option is C:
C) The representative sample contained more girls than boys.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that a random sample is chosen from a total students of 160 students. The sample can be of 10,15 or any small numbers of students as compared to 160. However, a sample cannot be of 160 students as it is defined as a population in this case.
A random sample is always unbiased. Which means that the sample chosen should have around the same proportion of girls to boys as it is in the population of 160.
We know that:
Total boys in 160 = 65
Total girls in 160 = 95
Proportion of girls to boys = 95/65 = 1.462
Which means that for every 1 boy, there are 1.462 of girls.
The same ratio is held in a random sample, hence the total number of girls will be greater than boys
Answer: 2 19/24 hours was spent in practising.
Step-by-step explanation:
During the first hour, they practiced for 5/8 of an hour. During the second hour, they practiced for 2/3 of an hour. This means that the total time for which they practiced in the first 2 hours would be
5/8 + 2/3 = 31/24 hours
During the last two hours, they first practiced for 3/5 of an hour, took a 1/2 hour break and then practiced the rest of the time. This means that the rest of the time for which they practiced is
2 - (3/5 + 1/2) = 2 - 11/10 = 9/10
Therefore, the time they spent practicing in total would be
31/24 + 3/5 + 9/10 = 67/24 =
2 19/24 hours
It likely hit a barrier like a wall for example and the force of the ball hitting the wall caused it to be pushed away. Another possibility is that the ball was kicked up some sort of slop and when it was at the ten feet it slowed down and then rolled back down. I hope this helps.
