Answer:$104.5

Step-by-step explanation:

cats=c

Dogs=d

2c+3d=455

d=82

Substitute d=82 in 2c+3d=455

2c+3(82)=455

2c+246=455

Collect like terms

2c=455-246

2c=209

Divide both sides by 2

2c/2=209/2

c=104.5

1 cat cost $104.5

Masha biked 20km 20 minutes faster than Dasha biked 20km. Find the speed of each cyclist if one biked 2km/h faster than the othe
motikmotik

Answer:

  • 12 km/h and 10 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of Masha = s, speed of Dasha = d

  • Distance = 20 km
  • Time difference = 20 min = 1/3 hr
  • Speed difference  = 2 km/h

<u>As per above info we get following equations:</u>

  • s = d + 2
  • 20/s + 1/3 = 20/d

<u>Substitute s and solve for d:</u>

  • 20/(d + 2) + 1/3 = 20/d

<u>Get rid of fraction by multiplying all terms by 3d(d + 2):</u>

  • 60d + d(d + 2) = 60(d + 2)
  • 60d + d² + 2d = 60d + 120
  • d² + 2d = 120
  • d² + 2d + 1 = 121
  • (d + 1)² = 11²
  • d + 1 = 11
  • d = 10

<u>Find s:</u>

  • s = 10 + 2 = 12

<u>The answer is</u>

  • Masha's speed 12 km/h and Dasha's speed 10 km/h

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

1 to 10 = Pointer Finger

1 to 100 = Ring Finger

1 to 1000 = Ring Finger

Step-by-step explanation:

Every time she counts 10 on her fingers starting from 1 it either lands on her Index Finger or Ring Finger in a pattern of starting first on her index finger for 10 then ending up on her Ring Finger for 20 and 30 the going back to her Index finger for 40 and 50 and so on. Using this you can figure out 100 and 1000.
