8.5 pounds in each bag with 4 pounds left. 55 - 4 pounds = 51
51/6 =8.5

Which expression simplifies to 41? Choose all that apply!

Arada [10]

Answer:

None of the expressions is simplified to 41.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to follow the P.E.M.D.A.S., this is:

P:Parentheses first.

E:Exponent next.

M:Multiplication.

D:Division.

(Multiplication and Division is whichever come first, from left to right)

A: Addition.

S: Subtraction.

(Addition and Subtraction is whichever come first, from left to right).

<u><em>We are going to analyze every option:</em></u>

1. 10+ 2.4 - 1

First we have to solve the multiplication:

$10+ 2.4 - 1=10+8-1$

Now we have to solve the addition and subtraction from left to right:

$10+8-1=18-1=17\neq 41$

This is not a correct answer.

2. 10+2.(4-1)

We have to solve the parentheses first:

$10+2.(4-1)=10+2.(3)$

Now the multiplication and then the addition.

$10+2.(3)=10+6=16\neq 41$

This is not a correct answer.

3. (10+23).4-1

We have to solve the parentheses first:

$(10+23).4-1=(33).4-1$

Now the multiplication and then the subtraction:

$(33).4-1=132-1=131\neq 41$

This is not a correct option.

4. $10+(2^2.4)-1$

We have to solve the parentheses first, in the parenthesis first we have to solve: $2^2$ and then do the multiplication.

$10+(2^2.4)-1=10+(4.4)-1=10+16-1$

Now we have to solve the addition and subtraction from left to right:

$10+16-1=26-1=25\neq 41$

This expression is not a correct option.

Then none of the expressions is simplified to 41.

A rancher wishes to build a fence to enclose a rectangular pen having area 24 square yards. Along one side the fence is to be ma

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The value is $C \approx \$76$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The area of the rectangular pen is $A = 24 \ yard^2$

The cost of material used to make one side is $z = \$ 6$

The cost of material used to make the other sides is $r = \$ 3$

Now , the fence to be build around the rectangular pen has four sides, the first opposite sides are equal, let assume each of the to be x yard and the other opposite sides are also equal as well let assume of the to be y yard

So the cost is mathematically represented as

$C = zx + r (x + 2y )$

=> $C = 6x + 3(x + 2y)$

=> $C = 9x + 6y$

Now the area of the fence is mathematically represented as

$A = x* y = 24$

=> $y = \frac{24}{x}$

=> $C = 9x + 6[\frac{24}{x} ]$

=> $C = 9x + [\frac{144}{x} ]$

Now differentiating

$C' = 9 + 144* (-2) x^{-2}$

$C' = 9 - 288x^{-2}$

At minimum $C' = 0$

So

$9 - 288x^{-2} = 0$

$x^{-2} = 0.03125$

$x = \sqrt{\frac{1}{0.03125} }$

$x = 5.66$

Now substituting for x in the equation above to obtain minimum cost

$C = 9(5.66) + [\frac{144}{5.66} ]$

$C \approx \$76$

5. A gardening club has 21 members, of which 13 are males and the rest are

Misha Larkins [42]

If you know that there are 21 members and 13 are females, if you subtract 13 from 21, you will get 8. There are 8 females in the gardening club.

Now you have to figure out the ratio to females to all club members. You already know that there are 8 females and 21 club members. The ratio would be 8:21.

I hope you found this helpful :)

Which triangle drfined by the given points on the coordinate plane is similar to the triangle illustrated?

Harrizon [31]

Answer:D.) (-1, 1), (-1, 5), (-7, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:The length of the horizontal segment of the triangle graphed is 3. The length of the vertical segment of the triangle graphed is 2. Using the Pythagorean theorem, this makes the length of the missing side

2²+3²=c²

4+9 = c²

13=c²

√13 = c

This makes our side lengths 2, 3, and √13.

For choice A our vertices are (-1, 1), (-1, 4), (-6, 1).

This makes the length of the horizontal segment 5 and the length of the vertical segment 3. This makes the missing side length

5²+3²=c²

25+9=c²

34=c²

√34 = c

This is not proportional to the triangle drawn, so it is not similar.

The vertices of the triangle in option B are (-1, 1), (-1, 5), and (-6, 1). This makes the horizontal segment 5 units long and the vertical segment 4 units long. This makes the missing side length

4²+5²=c²

16+25=c²

41=c²

√41=c

These are not proportional to the triangle drawn, so the triangles are not similar.

The vertices of the triangle in choice C are (-1, 1), (-1, 4) and (-7, 1). This makes the length of the horizontal segment 6 and the length of the vertical segment 3. This makes the missing side length

3²+6²=c²

9+36=c²

45=c²

√45=c

3√5=c

These sides are not proportional to the sides of the triangle drawn, so the triangles are not similar.

The vertices of the triangle in choice D are (-1, 1), (-1, 5) and (-7, 1). This makes the length of the horizontal segment 6 and the length of the vertical segment 4. This makes the missing side length

6²+4²=c²

36+16=c²

52=c²

√52=c²

2√13=c

These sides are all twice as long as the sides of the triangle drawn; this means the triangles are similar.
