Isabella bought 4 1/4 pounds of watermelon for $14.88. What is the price, in dollars, of 1 lb of watermelon?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: The correct answer is $ 3.50 per pound. If she buys 4 1/4 pound, we convert the 1/4 to the decimal 0.25. Take the total cost of $14.88 and divide it by 4.25, the amount of watermelon she bought and it equals $3.50 per pound.

14.88/4.25= 3.50

box with a square base and open top must have a volume of 4,000 cm3. Find the dimensions of the box (in cm) that minimize the am

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Hence the width, length is 20 cm and height is 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the box has a square base, let length = width = x. Also, let the height = y, therefore:

The volume of box = width * length * height

4000 = x * x * y

4000 = x²y

y=4000/x²

The surface area (SA) = area of the base + sum of the area of each side

SA = x² + xy + xy + xy + xy

SA = x² + 4xy

substitute y = 4000/x²

SA = x² + 4x(4000/x²)

SA = x² + 16000/x

Taking the derivative:

SA' = 2x - 16000/x²

making SA' = 0:

0 = 2x - 16000/x²

2x = 16000/x²

2x³ = 16000

x³ = 8000

x = 20 cm

y = 4000 / x² = 4000 / 20² = 10 cm

Hence the width, length is 20 cm and height is 10 cm

A line passes through the point (-6, -8) and has a slope of 3/2

garri49 [273]

Answer:

y=3/2(x) -1, or y = 1.5x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation in slope-intercept form, you have to determine the y-intercept for the line. Since you have the slope and at least one ordered pair, you can find this by substituting the points and slope into this formula:

y=mx+b.

For this particular line, you would write:

-8 = 3/2(-6)+b

-8 = -18/2 + b

-8 = -9 + b

add 9 to both sides to isolate the b

-1 = b.

Now that you have the answer for b (-1), you can write the equation as:

y=3/2(x) -1

300 = 12i+36s
i = 10
Yes it's reasonable
i = -11

Refer to the diagram below.

The explanation for each part is below as well.

========================================================

Part 1

i = number of individual nail polish bottles

s = number of sets of 4

12i = money earned from just selling the individual bottles only

36s = money earned from just selling the sets of 4 only

12i+36s = total money earned = 300

12i+36s = 300 is the equation to set up

This is the same as 300 = 12i+36s because A = B is the same as B = A.

========================================================

Part 2

Plug in s = 5 to represent she sold 5 sets. Let's solve for i

12i+36s = 300

12i+36(5) = 300

12i+180 = 300

12i = 300-180

12i = 120

i = 120/12

i = 10

If she wants to sell $300 worth of product overall, and she already sold 5 sets so far, then she needs to sell 10 individual bottles to reach this monthly goal.

========================================================

Part 3

Yes it's reasonable to reach this goal. This is because the value of i (from part 2) was some positive whole number.

========================================================

Part 4

We'll repeat part 2 but with s = 12

12i+36s = 300

12i+36(12) = 300

12i+432 = 300

12i = 300-432

12i = -132

i = -132/12

i = -11

As the instructions state, we get a negative value. This is not reasonable because we can't sell a negative number of items. A negative number of items in general doesn't make sense.

The instructions further state that $432 was already made and that she exceeded her goal. Meaning that she doesn't have to worry about selling the individual bottles if selling the sets has her reach something over $300.

My friend sets out walking at a speed of $3$ miles per hour. I set out behind her $5$ minutes later at $4$ miles per hour. When

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: The answer is 0.25 miles.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that my friend started walking at a speed of 3 miles per hour and I started 5 minutes after him at a speed of 4 miles per hour. We need to find the number of miles my friend travelled when I started walking.

Since I started 5 minutes after than my friend, so we are to find the distance travelled by my friend in 5 minutes.

In 1 hour, i.e., 60 minutes, distance travelled by my friend = 3 miles.

In 1 minute, distance travelled by my friend is

$\dfrac{3}{60}=\dfrac{1}{20}~\textup{miles}.$

Therefore, distance travelled by my friend in 5 minutes will be

$\dfrac{1}{20}\times 5=\dfrac{1}{4}=0.25~\textup{miles}.$

Thus, the answer is 0.25 miles.
