Answer:

The food would last 51 days

Step-by-step explanation:

After 15 days are over, you could say that the 16th day would be as follows -

80 soldiers, food finished in 60 - 15 = 45 days.

If 20 more soldiers arrive, there would be a total of 100 soldiers, so if  80 soldiers can finish their food in 45 days  - 1 soldier can finish = 45 * 80. Respectively,  100 soldiers can consume their food in ( 45 * 80 ) / 100  = 36 days.

As 15 days are already over, adding 36 more days = 51 days

The food would last 51 days if 20 <em>more</em> soldiers join after 15 days

Answer:

A total of 51 days, or 36 days after the extra soldiers join in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say a soldier eats 1 portion of food in 1 days. That portion may be divided into breakfast, lunch , and dinner, but it is still accounted as 1 portion per soldier per day.

There are 80 soldiers and enough food for 60 days.

The number of portions is

60 * 80 = 4800

The fort started with 4800 portions.

80 soldiers ate their portions for 15 days.

80 * 15 = 1200

After 15 days, they have

4800 - 1200 = 3600 portions left.

After 15 days, 20 more soldiers joined in.

Now there are 80 + 20 = 100 soldiers.

There are 3600 portions left for 100 soldiers.

3600/100 = 36

The food would last 36 days after the 15 days, or a total of 51 days.

For the Parallelogram, find the coordinates of P without using any new variables.
Triss [41]

Answer with explanation:

Properties of Parallelogram

1. Opposite sides are equal and parallel.

2. Diagonals bisect each other.

3. opposite angles are equal.

We will use second property to find coordinates of Vertex P of this parallelogram.

Mid point formula,

The mid point  of line segment joining two points, (a,b) and (c,d)=(x,y) is given by,

  x=\frac{a+c}{2},y=\frac{b+d}{2}

Let coordinates of P be (m,n).

1.\frac{b+c}{2}=\frac{m+a}{2}\\\\ b+c=m+a\\\\ m=b+c-a\\\\2. \frac{d+0}{2}=\frac{0+n}{2}\\\\n=d

So, Coordinates of vertex P of the parallelogram is (m,n)=(b+c-a,d) .

help! hurry!! NO SPAM!!!! I will mark brainliest if you get it correct and show your work.Identify the 15th term of the arithmet
inessss [21]

Answer:

a₁₅ = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₅ = 10 and a₁₀ = 20 , then

a₁ + 4d = 10 → (1)

a₁ + 9d = 20 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate a₁

5d = 10 ( divide both sides by 5 )

d = 2

Substitute d = 2 into (1) and solve for a₁

a₁ + 4(2) = 10

a₁ + 8 = 10 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

a₁ = 2

Then

a₁₅ = 2 + (14 × 2) = 2 + 28 = 30

1. Eight people work in an office. They are paid hourly rates of 12£,15£,15£,14£,14£,13£,14£,13£
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

mean=110/8 =13.75 pounds;  median=14 pounds; mode=14 pounds; average=13.75 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

mean=add all the numbers together to get total then divide that total by the number of amounts present 12, 15, 15, 14, 14, 13, 14, 13 =110, then 110/8=13.75 pounds

mode=arrange amounts in order (smallest to largest), then determine which amount appears more than the other amounts 12, 13, 13, 14, 14, 14, 15, 15 =14 appears the most

median=organize numbers from smallest to greatest, count how many there are, then determine which number appears in the middle of all of them 12, 13, 13, 14, 14, 14, 15, 15 = there are 8 numbers present but 14 is in the middle; answer =14

average= take total of mean, then divide it by the number of amounts that appear 110/8 =13.75

A farmer finds there is a linear relationship between the number of bean stalks, n, she plants and the yield, y, each plant prod
Archy [21]

Answer:

y = -\frac{1}{3}m + 41

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equation:

A linear function has the following format:

y = mn + b

In which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

When she plants 30 stalks, each plant yields 31 oz of beans. When she plants 36 stalks, each plant produces 29 oz of beans.

This means that these two points belong to the line: (30,31), (36,29).

Finding the slope:

When we have two points, the slope is given by the change in the output divided by the change in the input.

Change in the output: 29 - 31 = -2

Change in the input: 36 - 30 = 6

Slope:

m = \frac{-2}{6} = -\frac{1}{3}

Thus

y = -\frac{1}{3}m + b

Finding b:

We take one of the points and replace on the equation.

(30,31) means that m = 30, y = 31. Thus

y = -\frac{1}{3}m + b

31 = -\frac{1}{3}(30) + b

31 = -10 + b

b = 41

Thus

y = -\frac{1}{3}m + 41
