Numerators are the top half of a fraction, denominators are the bottom half. In the fraction 3/4, the numerator is 3 and the denominator is 4

The numerator is the top half showing how much of something you have.
While the denominator is the bottom half which is letting you know the max amount you can have. So 3/4 means you have 3 items and can only have 4. <span />

A maple syrup producer would like to increase production by 500 gallons per each consecutive year with a goal of producing at le

ipn [44]

Answer:

b) x ≥ 3000 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a)

Production of Year 1 = x gallons

By each year the producer will increase the production by 500 gallons. So,

Production in Year 2 = x + 500 gallons

Similarly,

Production in Year 3 = x + 500 + 500 = x + 1000 gallons

Production in Year 4 = x + 1000 + 500 = x + 1500 gallons

Production in Year 5 = x + 1500 + 500 = x + 2000 gallons

Part b)

The maple syrup producer wants to produced atleast 20,000 gallons in 5 years.

Total amount produced in 5 years = x + x + 500 + x + 1000 + x + 1500 + x + 2000

Total amount produced in 5 years = 5x + 5000

Since, producer wants total production to be atleast 20,000, we can set up the inequality as:

5x + 5000 ≥ 20000

Subtracting 5000 from both sides, we get:

5x ≥ 15000

Dividing both sides by 5, we get:

x ≥ 3000

This means, in the first year the production of maple syrup must be atleast 3,000 gallons i.e 3000 gallons or more to have a total of atleast 20,000 gallons in 5 years.

A right rectangular prism has a length of 8 centimeters, a width of 3 centimeters, and a height of 5 centimeters. What is the su

ladessa [460]

Answer: $158cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the following formula to calculate the surface area of the right rectangular prism:

$SA = 2(wl +lh + hw)$

Where "w" is the width, "l" is the length, and "h" is the height.

Knowing that this rigth rectangular prism has a length of 8 centimeters, a width of 3 centimeters and a height of 5 centimeters, you can substitute these values into the formula.

Then, the surface of the right rectangular prism is:

$SA = 2[(3cm*8cm) + (8cm*5cm) + (5cm*3cm)]\\\\SA=158cm^2$

The cost of renting a sailboat at a lake is $20 per hour plus $14 for lifejackets. Write an equation in slope-intercept form tha

aalyn [17]

Answer:

y=20x+14, where:

y is the total amount you would pay for using the sailboat

x is the number of hours the sailboat is used

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation in slope-intercept form is set up as y=mx+b. From the information provided, the equation would indicate that the cost of renting the boat would be equal to the price per hour for the number of hours plus the cost of lifejackets and the equation in slope-intercept form that can be used is:

y=20x+14, where:

y is the total amount you would pay for using the sailboat

x is the number of hours the sailboat is used
