Devon has 14 steel balls of equal weight. If he puts 8 of them in one pan of a balance, and the rest along with a weight of 20 g

rams in the other pan, the pans balance each other. Which equation can be used to find the weight of each steel ball?

14-8=6, so 8 balls balance with 6 balls and 20 grams. From this you know that 2 balls=20 grams, simply divide this by 2 to get the weight of one ball which will weigh 10 grams.

Okay so first to solve this lets set up our equation...

Devon has 14 balls of equal weight
14

8 of them go in one pan
14 - 8 = 6

6 goes in another pan along with a weight of 20 grams

So if we assume each ball is 10 grams then the 6 plus 20 grams would equal 8 balls.

This would balance it out.

8 balls of 10g - 6 balls of 10g and a 20g weight

So each ball would weigh 10 grams

Hope this helped. Have a great night!

The coordinate point F(-8, 0) after a dilation with scale factor of 0.25, centered at the origin, becomes the point
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

(-2,\, 0).

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilate a point (x,\, y) by a scale factor of r with (a,\, b) as the center, and the resultant point would be at (a + r\, (x - a),\, b + r\, (y - a)).

In this question:

Point to dilate: (x,\, y) = (-8,\, 0).

Scale factor: r = 0.25.

Center of dilation: (a,\, b) = (0,\, 0).

The resultant point would be:

(0 + 0.25\, (-8 - 0),\, 0 + 0.25\, (0 - 0)), which simplifies to (-2,\, 0).

Approximate the value of each of the irrational numbers below to the nearest thousandth.
Marta_Voda [28]

ANSWER

\sqrt{13}  = 3.606

to the nearest thousandth.

EXPLANATION

The given irrational number is

\sqrt{13}

We use the calculator to evaluate this to obtain,

\sqrt{13}  = 3.605551...

To round to the nearest thousandth means we are rounding to 3 decimal places.

The third decimal place is 5.

The next number is 5 so we round up.

\sqrt{13}  = 3.606

Write an equation in slope intercept form of the line with a slope of -3/4 and y intercept of -5
raketka [301]
Given,
slope(m)=-3/4
y intercept (c)=-5
Then,
equation in slope intercept form is
y=mx+c
or, y=(-3/4)×x+(-5)
or, y=-3/4×x-5

The bottle is completely full at 11:40 a.m. Which statements help explain this result? Check all that apply. The bottle was 1/2
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that bottle was half full at 11.35 a.m. and full at 11.40 a.m.

This implies it takes 5 minutes for the liquid to double.

This is confirmed by the statement that before 5 minutes i.e. at 11.30 the bottle was only 1/4 full.

Hence true statements would be:

1) The bottle was 1/2 full at 11:35 a.m. and doubled again after 5 minutes.

2)  The bottle was 1/4 full at 11:30 a.m. and doubled twice after 10 minutes. The bottle was 1/2 full at 11:35 a.m.

3) Exponential growth involves a constant multiplicative rate of change.

(The rate cannot be additional as we get 2 times every 5 minutes)
