Answer:

Total number of jolly ranchers= 140

Total number of candy bars= 60

Now , we have to place jolly and candy into gift bags such that no pieces of candy should left.

1. Find the ratio of jolly ranchers and candy bars

= 140/60

= 7/3

So, possible combination are (7,3),(14,6),(28,12),(35,15),(70,30).

1.So,in combination (7,3), number of bags= $\frac{Total candy}{(7+3)}$

= $\frac{200}{10}$

=20

2. Number of Bags(14,6)=200÷20=10

3.Number of Bags(28,12)=200÷40=5

4.Number of Bags(35,15)= 200÷50=4

5.Number of Bags(70,30)=200÷100=2

Combination (1) in which there are 7 Jolly ranchers and 3 candy bars has the most amount of bags which is 20.

In the diagram, point D divides line segment AB in the ratio of 5:3. If line segment AC is vertical and line segment CD is horiz

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

C (2, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

C has the same x coordinate as A = 2

that eliminates A and B.

and the y value of C has to be closer to the y value of B than to the y value of A (due to the 5:3 ratio).

so, without spending unnecessary effort on actual calculation, we can directly derive the correct answer to be C.

but to show in numbers, the "coordinate triangle" of the difference between D and B is a similar triangle to ACD. and so, the ratio of one side pair applies then to all other sides too. including the individual coordinate differences.

so, also the y difference of A to D relates to the y difference between D and B in the same ratio of 5:3 of the overall y difference of A to B.

the y difference A to B is 2 - -6 = 8

the 5/3 split of 8 units is actually 5 and 3.

so, the y coordinate of D is -6 + 5 = -1

and C must have the same y coordinate.

therefore, it is proven that answer C (2, -1) is the right answer.

Find the simple interest: Princpd $6000 Interest Rate 5% Time: 6 months Start

sattari [20]

Answer: The interest is: $150.00

The formula we'll use for this is the simple interest formula, or:

Where:

P is the principal amount, $6000.00.

r is the interest rate, 5% per year, or in decimal form, 5/100=0.05.

t is the time involved, 6....month(s) time periods.

Since your interest rate is "per year" and you gave your time interval in "month(s)" we need to convert your time interval into "year" as well.

Do this by dividing your time, 6- month(s), by 12, since there's 12 months in 1 year.

So, t is 0.5....year time periods.

To find the simple interest, we multiply 6000 × 0.05 × 0.5 to get that:

The interest is: $150.00

A vehicle is travelling from rest. After 10 seconds its velocity will be 20ms find acceleration?

Paladinen [302]

Initial velocity (u) = 0m/s

Final velocity (v) = 20m/s

Time (t) = 10 s

Acceleration (a)

= (v - u)/t

= [(20m/s) - (0m/s)]/10s

= (20m/s)/10s

= (20m/s²)/10

=> 2m/s²
