The three seventh grade classes at Champion Middle School collected the most boxtops for a school fundraiser, and so they won a

$600 prize to share among them. Ms. Winfrey’s class collected 3,760 box tops, Mrs.Collins collected 2,301, and Ms.Hood’s class collected 1,855. How should they divide the money so that each class gets the same fraction of the prize money as the fraction of the box tops that they collected?? HELP ASAP!

Answer:

Ms. Winfrey: $300

Mrs. Collins: $180

Ms. Hood: $120

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the amount of box tops that each class collected, you need to first find the total amount:

Ms. Winfrey:  3,760

Mrs. Collins: 2,301

Ms. Hood:  <u>1,855</u>

Total:  7,916

To find the approximate ratio, or fraction that each class sold, you can take the individual class amount divided by the total collected by all three classes:

Ms. Winfrey:  3,760/7,916 ≈ 0.5

Mrs. Collins: 2,301/7,916 ≈ 0.3

Ms. Hood:  1,855/7,916 ≈ 0.2

Take each of these rates and multiply by the amount of prize money:

0.5 * $600 = $300

0.3 * $600 = $180

0.2 * $600 = $120

Which graph shows the solution to the system of linear inequalities?<br> y&lt; 2x-5<br> y&gt;-3x + 1
trapecia [35]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Plot the solution sets to both inequalities.

1. For the inequality y First, plot the dotted line y=2x+5 (dotted because sign is without notion "or equal to"), then choose correct part by substitution coordinates of the origin.

2\cdot 0-5=-5

so the origin does not belong to the needed part. Shade the part, which does not include origin.

2. For the inequality y>-3x+1. First, plot the dotted line y=-3x+1 (dotted because sign is without notion "or equal to"), then choose correct part by substitution coordinates of the origin.

-3\cdot 0+1=1>0

so the origin does not belong to the needed part. Shade the part, which does not include origin.

3. Find the common region of these two shaded parts - this is the solution to the system of two inequalities.

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!! Find the fifth roots of 243(cos 240° + i sin 240°).
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

<h2>3(cos 336 + i sin 336)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Fifth root of 243 = 3,

Suppose r( cos Ф + i sinФ) is the fifth root of 243(cos 240 + i sin 240),

then r^5( cos  Ф  + i sin  Ф )^5 = 243(cos 240 + i sin 240).

Equating equal parts and using de Moivre's theorem:

r^5 =243  and  cos  5Ф  + i sin  5Ф = cos 240 + i sin 240

r = 3 and  5Ф = 240 +360p so Ф =  48 + 72p

So Ф = 48, 120, 192, 264, 336  for   48 ≤ Ф < 360

So there are 5 distinct solutions given by:

3(cos 48 + i sin 48),

3(cos 120 + i sin 120),

3(cos 192 + i sin 192),

3(cos 264 + i sin 264),

3(cos 336 + i sin 336)

4 (b - 3 ) = 6 steps in order from first to last
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

B= 9/2 Hope this helped <3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4(b−3)=6

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4(b−3)=6

(4)(b)+(4)(−3)=6(Distribute)

4b+−12=6

4b−12=6

Step 2: Add 12 to both sides.

4b−12+12=6+12

4b=18

Step 3: Divide both sides by 4
