Answer:

$490

Step-by-step explanation:

Shauna spent $175 on a pair of shoes.

She spent 1/9 of the remaining money on a shirt.

If he still had 4/7 of his money left,how much did he have at first ?

Solution:

Let at first, Shauna have = $x$

Money spent on a pair of shoes = $175

Remaining money = $x-175$

<u>As she spent 1/9 of the remaining money on a shirt.</u>

Money spent on shirt = $\frac{1}{9} \times(x-175)=\frac{x}{9} -\frac{175}{9}$

As he still had $\frac{4}{7}$ of his money left:-

Money left = $\frac{4}{7}\ of\ his\ money=\frac{4x}{7}$

Money left with Shauna = Total money, she had at first -(Money spent on a pair of shoes + Money spent on shirt )

$\frac{4x}{7} =x-(175+{\frac{x}{9} -\frac{175}{9} )\\\\\\$

$\frac{4x}{7} =x-(\frac{175}{1} -\frac{175}{9} +\frac{x}{9} )\\\\ \frac{4x}{7} =x-(\frac{1575-175}{9} +\frac{x}{9} )\\\\ \frac{4x}{7}=x-(\frac{1400}{9} +\frac{x}{9} )\\ \\ \frac{4x}{7}=x-\frac{1400}{9} -\frac{x}{9}$

Subtracting both sides by $x$ and adding both sides by $\frac{x}{9}$

$\frac{4x}{7} -x+\frac{x}{9} =-\frac{1400}{9} -x+\frac{x}{9} +x-\frac{x}{9}$

Taking LCM of 7 and 9, we get 63

$\frac{36x-63x+7x}{63} =-\frac{1400}{9} \\ \\ -\frac{20x}{63}=-\frac{1400}{9}$

Adding both side by -

$\frac{36x-63x+7x}{63} =-\frac{1400}{9} \\ \\ \frac{20x}{63}=\frac{1400}{9}$

By cross multiplication:

$20x\times9=1400\times63\\180x=88200\\$

Dividing both sides by 180

$x=490$

Therefore, total $490, she had at first.

A total of 30 percent of the geese included in a certain migration study were male. If some of the geese migrated during the stu

Serggg [28]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em><u>(B). </u></em> $\frac{7}{12}$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

In the question,

Let the total number of geese be = 100x

Number of Male geese = 30% = 30x

Number of Female Geese = 70x

Let us say 'kx' geese migrated from these geese.

Number of migrated Male geese = 20% of kx = kx/5

Number of migrated Female geese = 4kx/5

So,

<u>Migration rate of Male geese</u> is given by,

$\frac{(\frac{kx}{5})}{30x}$

<u>Migration rate of Female geese</u> is given by,

$\frac{(\frac{4kx}{5})}{70x}$

So,

The ratio of Migration rate of Male geese to that of Female geese is given by,

$\frac{\left[\frac{(\frac{kx}{5})}{30x}\right]}{\left[\frac{(\frac{4kx}{5})}{70x}\right]}=\frac{350}{4\times 150}=\frac{7}{12}$

Therefore, the<em><u> ratio of the rate of migration of Male geese to that of Female geese is,</u></em>

$\frac{7}{12}$

<em><u>Hence, the correct option is (B).</u></em>

<em><u></u></em>

What is the length of Line segment B C, rounded to the nearest tenth? 13. 0 units 28. 8 units 31. 2 units 33. 8 units.

Len [333]

The length of the line segment BC is 31.2 units.

<h2>Given that</h2>

Triangle ABC is shown.

Angle ABC is a right angle.

An altitude is drawn from point B to point D on side AC to form a right angle.

The length of AD is 5 and the length of BD is 12.

<h3>We have to determine</h3>

What is the length of Line segment BC?

<h3>According to the question</h3>

The altitude of the triangle is given by;

$\rm Altitude = \sqrt{xy}$

Where x is DC and y is 5 units.

Then,

The length DC is.

$\rm Altitude = \sqrt{xy}\\
\\
12 = \sqrt{(DC) \times 5}\\
\\
\sqrt{DC } = \dfrac{12}{\sqrt{5}}\\
\\
$

Squaring on both sides

$\rm DC = \dfrac{144}{5}\\
\\
DC = 28.8$

Considering right triangle BDC, use the Pythagorean theorem to find BC:

$\rm BC^2 = DC^2+BD^2\\\\ BC^2 = (28.8)^2+(12)^2\\

\\
BC = \sqrt{829.44+144}\\
\\
BC = \sqrt{973.44}\\
\\
\rm BC = 31.2 \ units$

Hence, the length of the line segment BC is 31.2 units.

Security A rounds every 2 minutes and 20 seconds in the gate 1. Security B rounds every 1 minute and 40 seconds in the gate 2. I

Elden [556K]

Answer:

$Time = 11\frac{2}{3}\ min$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Security\ A = 2\ mins, 20\ secs$

$Security\ B = 1\ mins, 40\ secs$

Required

After how many minutes, will they round together

First, convert the given time to minutes

$Security\ A = 2\ mins, 20\ secs$

$Security\ A = 2\ mins+ 20\ secs$

$Security\ A = 2\ mins+ \frac{20}{60}\ min$

$Security\ A = 2\ mins+ \frac{1}{3}\ min$

$Security\ A = 2\frac{1}{3}\ min$

$Security\ B = 1\ mins, 40\ secs$

$Security\ B = 1\ mins+ 40\ secs$

$Security\ B = 1\ mins+ \frac{40}{60}\ min$

$Security\ B = 1\frac{2}{3}\ min$

So, we have:

$Security\ A = 2\frac{1}{3}\ min$

$Security\ B = 1\frac{2}{3}\ min$

List out the multiples of the time of both security personnel take round.

$Security\ A = 2\frac{1}{3}min,\ 4\frac{2}{3}min,\ 7min,\ 9\frac{1}{3}min,\ 11\frac{2}{3}min...$

$Security\ B = 1\frac{2}{3}min,\ 3\frac{1}{3}min,\ 5min,\ 6\frac{2}{3}min,\ 8\frac{1}{3}min,\ 10min\ ,11\frac{2}{3}min,...$

In the above lists, the common time is:

$Time = 11\frac{2}{3}\ min$

<em>This implies that they go on round after </em> $11\frac{2}{3}\ min$ <em></em>

The coach of a baseball team separates the players into groups for drills.Each group has the same number of players. Is the tota

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:it is composite

Step-by-step explanation:

it is composite because if there is say 60 people on the team and he divided the groups amongst three people in each group then it would be 20 groups now that isn't prime see so it would be the same thing if the basketball coach separates the team into 10 groups and there's 60 people on that team that's not a prime number that would be a composite number so the answer is composite A prime number would be there's eight people in each group and he separates them into a group so that means that They would be 64 people on that team Now the book that I'm looking at right now doesn't tell you the people on that team and how much people there are on that team but it says there is a different amount from The number of teams to the number of people in the team see there's like eight people in the team and there is for groups so that means two people in each group so That means that the answer would have to be composite and not prime hope this helped somebody.
