A company has a $150 budget to provide lunch for its 20 employees. The options are to provide either roast beef sandwiches, whic

h cost $5 apiece, or tuna sandwiches, which also cost $5 apiece. The company also wants to use the entire budget. Suppose r represents the number of roast beef sandwiches it provides and t represents the number of tuna sandwiches. Which statement is correct?
The company can provide lunch for all 20 employees and use the entire budget because there is a solution to the system of equations r minus t = 20 and 5 r + 5 t = 150.
The company can provide lunch for all 20 employees and use the entire budget because there is a solution to the system of equations r + t = 20 and 5 r + 5 t = 150.

Answer:

2. The company can provide lunch for all 20 employees and use the entire budget because there is a solution to the system of equations r + t = 20 and 5 r + 5 t = 150.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total lunch budget of the company  =  $150

Total number of employees  = 20

The cost of 1 roast beef sandwich = $5

The cost of 1 tuna sandwich = $5

r represents the number of roast beef sandwiches provided.

t represents the number of tuna sandwiches provided.

Now, consider the given statements:

Here, total number of sandwiches purchased  = Total number of employees

⇒ r +  t = 20   .... (1)

Also, as each type of sandwich costs $5.

So, the cost of r roast beef sandwiches = r x ( Cost of  1  beef sandwich)

= r x ( $5) = 5 r

And, the cost of t tuna sandwiches = t x ( Cost of  1  tuna sandwich)

= t x ( $5) = 5 t

Total cost of (r +t) sandwiches = Total Lunch Budget

⇒ 5 r +  5 t = 150   .... (2)

Hence, from (1) and (2) the above situation can be represented as:

r +  t = 20  

5 r +  5 t = 150

Hence, the company can provide lunch for all 20 employees and use the entire budget because there is a solution to the system of equations r + t = 20 and 5 r + 5 t = 150.

Question 6 of 10
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

(2.5 , 3.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the midpoint formula . Here the points are , (2,2) and (3,5) .

• <u>Using</u><u> </u><u>Midpo</u><u>int</u><u> Formula</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

⇒ M = { (x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2 }

⇒ M = ( 2+3/2 , 5+2/2 )

⇒ M = ( 5/2 , 7/2 )

⇒ M = ( 2.5 , 3.5 )

<h3><u>Hence </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>midpoint</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>2</u><u>.</u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>3</u><u>.</u><u>5</u><u>)</u></h3>

Which of these relationships would most likely have a NEGATIVE correlation?
Luda [366]
<h3>Answer:  Choice C</h3>

Explanation:

As the person spends more time raking, the number of leaves will go down. Therefore, we have a negative correlation. Such correlations occur when one variable goes up while the other goes down (and vice versa).

The reason why it's considered negative correlation is because the regression line has a negative slope.

This is why choice C is the answer. This assumes that no extra leaves fall on the ground, and we assume that we don't have nearby leaves blow into the yard.

In contrast, something like choice A has both variables go up together. As the temperature rises, so does the ice cream sales. The same goes for choice B. We consider these cases to have positive correlation. Choice D doesn't appear to have any correlation at all. The person's height doesn't have any connection to the number of pets they may have.

Ashley's page count is ...

  P = 10D

Carly's page count is ...

  P = 8D +40

_____

The page count is the product of the pages per day and the number of days. Since Carly started with a page count of 40, that is added to the product.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

( 0.6 t^2 + 3t + 11 ) cm

Step-by-step explanation:

dh/dt = 1.2t + 3

at t = 0, h = 11 cm

(a)

dh / dt = 1.2 t + 3

dh = (1.2 t + 3) dt

integrate on both sides

h = 0.6 t^2 + 3t + c    .... (1)

where c is the integrating constant

put t = 0

11 = c

Put in equation (1) , we get

h = ( 0.6 t^2 + 3t + 11 ) cm

Thus, teh height of tree after t years is given by

( 0.6 t^2 + 3t + 11 ) cm.
