Answer:

Peanuts cost $2 a bag

Almonds cost $2.50 a bag

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, write a system of equations using the information given.

  • "a small case contains 10 bags of almonds and 25 bags of peanuts for $75" translates to 10a+25p=75
  • "a large case comtains 40 bags of almonds and 60 bags of peanuts for $220" translates to 40a+60p=220

Solve by stacking the equations and performing elimination. To eliminate a variable, the coefficients must be the same. To make this so, we will multiply 10a+25p=75 by 4 to become 40a+100p=300. Now stack the equations and subtract:

40a+100p=300

40a+60p=220

----------------------------

0a + 40p=80

p=2 means peanuts cost $2 a bag.

Substitute p=2 into one equation to find a.

10a+25(2)=75

10a+50=75

10a=25

a=2.5 means almonds cost $2.50 a bag.

A rose garden is formed by joining rectangle and a semicircle, as shown below. The rectangle is 29 ft long and 21 ft wide. If th
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 116.53 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

length = 29 ft

width = 21 ft

π = 3.14

Process

1.- Calculate perimeter of the rectangle and subtract 1 length

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2l + 2w - l

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(29) + 2(21) - 29

                                            = 58 + 42 - 29

                                            = 71 ft

2.- Calculate the perimeter of a semicircle

Perimeter = 2πr/2 = πr

radius = r = 29/2

               = 14.5 ft

Perimeter = (3.14)(14.5)

                 = 45.53 ft

3.- Calculate the total length of the fence

fence = 45.53 + 71

          = 116.53 ft

Can someone please tell me how to do these problems
kow [346]
These are so easy, you won't believe it !

A negative exponent only means

       "Put all of this in the denominator, and make the exponent positive."

So    (any number)^negative power =

                     1 / (the same number)^(the same power but not negative) .

The first few problems on that sheet:

1).  5^-3  =  1 / 5^3

2).  6^-10  =  1 / 6^10

3).  (-2)^-5  =  1 / (-2)^5

Got it ?    You can do the rest of them now in about 2 minutes.
