16 1/5 yards divided by 5 2/5 =3. He can make 3 costumes.
This is an interesting question. I chose to tackle it using the Law of Cosines.
AC² = AB² + BC² - 2·AB·BC·cos(B)
AM² = AB² + MB² - 2·AB·MB·cos(B)
Subtracting twice the second equation from the first, we have
AC² - 2·AM² = -AB² + BC² - 2·MB²
We know that MB = BC/2. When we substitute the given information, we have
8² - 2·3² = -4² + BC² - BC²/2
124 = BC² . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 16, multiply by 2
2√31 = BC ≈ 11.1355
<h3>☂︎ Answer :- </h3>
<h3>☂︎ Solution :- </h3>
- LCM of 5 , 18 , 25 and 27 = 2 × 3³ × 5²
- 2 and 3 have odd powers . To get a perfect square, we need to make the powers of 2 and 3 even . The powers of 5 is already even .
In other words , the LCM of 5 , 18 , 25 and 27 can be made a perfect square if it is multiplied by 2 × 3 .
The least perfect square greater that the LCM ,
☞︎︎︎ 2 × 3³ × 5² × 2 × 3
☞︎︎︎ 2² × 3⁴ × 5²
☞︎︎︎ 4 × 81 × 85
☞︎︎︎ 100 × 81
☞︎︎︎ 8100
8100 is the least perfect square which is exactly divisible by each of the numbers 5 , 18 , 25 , 27 .
Assuming that the cost per minute is the same for both months and the plan fee is the same, you can use y=mx+b for this
y is the cost of the phone plan, x is the cost per minute and b is the start cost.
so 19.41=25x+b for the first month
and 45.65=380x+b for the second month
solve both for b you get:
19.41-25x=b and 45.65-380x=b. from this we get
19.41-25x=45.65-380x
solve for x
328x=26.24 and x=0.08
this means the cost per minute is 0.08c/min (answer A)
rewrite the equation to calculate b, and where this time, the x is the number of minutes talked.
y=0.08x+b and plug in one of the two months
45.65=0.08 * 380 + b
Solve for b and b is 15.25
so the final equation is
y=0.08x+15.25 (answer B)
