Jamie is 3 times as old as her sister Penny .In 2 years Jamie will be twice as old as Penny .How old are Jamie and Penny now

1 answer:

3 0

Well i think this is right;

If jamie is 3 times Pennys age, and in two years he is twice as old as her i would say she is 2 because; 2 * 3 = 6

2 years later Penny would be 4, because she was 2 at the time. And because Jamie was 6 he will become 8. That means he was three times her age. And then in two years twice his age.

So now Jamie is 8 and Penny is 4.
Hope that helps!

under a dilation, the point (2,6) is moved to (6,18) what is the scale factor of the dilation? enter your answer in the box

Anestetic [448]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of line passing through the two points is $\frac{y-y_{1} }{x-x_{1} }=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1}}{x_{2} -x_{1}}$

When substituted,the equation becomes $\frac{y-6}{x-2}=\frac{18-6}{6-2}$

which when simplified is $y=3\times x$

The line clearly passes through origin.

The distance between two points is $\sqrt{(y_{1}-y_{2} )^{2}+(x_{1}- x_{2} )^{2}}$

Distance between origin and $(2,6)$ is $\sqrt{40}$ .

Distance between origin and $(6,18)$ is $\sqrt{360}$

Scale factor is $\frac{distance\text{ }of\text{ }p_{2}\text{ from origin}}{distance \text{ } of \text{ } p_{1}\text{ from origin}}$

So,scale factor is $\frac{\sqrt{360} }{\sqrt{40} }$

which when simplified becomes 3.

20 first hour
20+0.1*20 = 22 second hour
22+0.1*22 = 24.2 third hour
24.2+0.1*24.2 = 26.62 fourth hour
26.62+0.1*26.62 = 29.282 fifth hour
Total=$122.10

A teacher is making a history test composed of the same number of multiple-choice questions as short-answer questions. She estim

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

The inequality is $5.5n \leq 45$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total time:

The total time to complete the test is the sum of the number of multiple-choice questions multiplied by the time it takes to solve each and the number of short-answer questions multiply by the time it takes to solve each.

In this question:

Same number(n) of both.

Multiple-choice takes 2 minutes, short-answer takes 3.5 minutes. The total time is given by:

$T = 2n + 3.5n = 5.5n$

Write an inequality to determine how many questions, n, the teacher can include if the test must take students less than 45 minutes to complete.?

This means that:

$T \leq 45$

$5.5n \leq 45$

The inequality is $5.5n \leq 45$
