Theluner calender would be inaccurate because it doesnt shouw the full 29 and a half days as the moon turns through its phases

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider that one cycle of the moon phases would be considered as one month. This would mean that in 29 months one month would be over. The 1/2 would not be considered as one day. So, at the end of 12 months the 1/2 days would add up and you would end up with 12×1/2 = 6 extra days.

In the gregorian calender the revoultion around the sun is considered as the year which takes 365.25 days. The months are arranged according to 31 or 30 days. However at the end of 4 years we get one whole day. Hence, the leap has 366 days.

between 1995 and 2006, the population of samburg, usa(in thousands) can be modeled by f(x) = 0.35x(squared) - 2.1x+15.8 where x=

\begin{cases}
x=\textit{year since 1995}\\

the equation is a quadratic one, and it has a positive coefficient on the leading term, meaning, is opening upwards, so it has a "burrow" for the vertex.

the minimum or lowest point for a quadratic opening upwards is, well, the vertex point :),   the "x" value is the year, the "y" or f(x) value is the population, we're asked for the year, or the x-coordinate of the vertex

almond37 [142]
The answer is 670.
this is because 96 plus 287 is 383.
so he sold 287 on the 1st day, and 383 on the second day.
383 plus 287 equals 670.

A man can buy 20 mangoes or 30 oranges. If he wants a each amount of each, how many of each would he get? Write an EQUATION to s
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, there are two variables: the number of mangoes(y) bought and the number of oranges bought(x).

Let's say the man have z money, mangoes price is \frac{1}{20}z and the oranges price is \frac{1}{30}z. The equation for money and number of mangoes and oranges will be:

money = mango price * mangoes bought + orange price * orange bought

z= \frac{1}{20}z * x + \frac{1}{30}z *y

1= \frac{1}{20}x +\frac{1}{30}y

-\frac{1}{30}y= \frac{1}{20}x -1

y= -1.5x + 30

y= 30 - 1.5x

If he want equal number of mango and orange, that mean y=x. The calculation will be:

y= 30 - 1.5x

x= 30 - 1.5x

x+ 1.5x = 30

2.5x= 30

x= \frac{30}{2.5}= 12
