It is 17 miles to the mall how many inches is that on a map

1 answer:

3 0

In order to answer that question, we need to know the scale of the map.
Without that information, no answer is possible.

I think you have it in the first part of the question ... the part you decided
not to post.

OK. Now that you've provided the scale of the map,
answering the question is a piece-o-cake.
Use a proportion:

(1 inch on the map) / (4 miles on the ground) = ('x' on the map) / (17 miles on the ground)

PetSmart.com sold the following varieties of dog food in June 2003.

aivan3 [116]

Let x be the number of bags of Nature's Recipe Venison Meal & Rice Canine 20 percent protein, y be the number of bags of Nutro Max Natural Dog Food 27 percent protein and z be the number of bags of PetSmart Premier Oven Baked Lamb 25 percent protein a dog breeder buys. He wants to make 300 pounds of a mix. Then

20x+17.5y+30z=300.

Now

in 20x pounds of Nature's Recipe Venison Meal & Rice Canine 20 percent protein is 0.2·20x=4x pounds of protein;
in 17.5y pounds of Nutro Max Natural Dog Food 27 percent protein is 0.27·17.5y=4.725y pounds of protein;
in 30z pounds of PetSmart Premier Oven Baked Lamb 25 percent protein is 0.25·30z=7.5z pounds of protein;
in 300 pounds of mix containing 22 percent protein is 0.22·300=66 pounds of protein.

Then 4x+4.725y+7.5z=66.

You get a system

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}20x+17.5y+30z=300\\4x+4.725y+7.5z=66.\end{array}\right.$

From the first equation $z=10-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{7}{12}y.$ Substitute it into the second equation:

$4x+4.725y+7.5(10-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{7}{12}y)=66.$

Simplify it:

$-x+\dfrac{7}{20}y=-9,\\ \\ 20x-7y=180.$

y must be divided by 20, then

y=0, x=9, z=10-6=4;
y=20, x=16, z is not a whole number;
y=40, x=23, z is not a whole number;
y=60, x=30, z=10-20-35<0;
thus, all other possible z will be <0.

Answer: 9 bags with 1st mix, 0 bags with 2nd mix and 4 bags with 3rd mix.

A parent increases a child’s monthly allowance by 20% each year. If the allowance is $8 per month now, in about how many years w

Mazyrski [523]

6 years

A parent increases a child’s monthly allowance by 20% each year. If the allowance is $8 per month now. This is an exponential function, An exponential function is given by:

Let x be the number of years and y be the allowance. The initial allowance is $8, this means at x = 0, y = 8

Since it increases by 20% each year, i.e 100% + 20% = 1 + 0.2 = 1.2. This means that b = 1.2
Therefore:

To find the number of years will it take to reach $20 per month, we substitute y = 20 and find x

x = 6 years to the nearest year

Find the equation of the quadratic function F whose graph is shown below. F(x) = ?

zepelin [54]

Answer:

y = x² - 2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y + 4 = C(x - 1)²

To determine C, use x = 4, y = 5

5 + 4 = C(4 - 1)²

9 = 9C, C = 1

y + 4 = (x - 1)² = x² - 2x + 1

y = x² - 2x - 3

When the sun's angle of elevation is 76°, a tree casts an 18-foot shadow on the ground. Find the length of the tree to the neare

Yanka [14]

Answer:

56.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached figure which represents the explanation of the problem.

We need to find the length of the tree to which is the length of AD

From the graph ∠BAC = 90° and ∠ABD = 76°, AB = 18 ft

At ΔABD:

∠BAD = ∠BAC - ∠DAC = 90° - 4° = 86°

∠ADB = 180° - ( ∠BAD + ∠ABD) = 180 - (86+76) = 180 - 162 = 18°

Apply the sine rule at ΔABD

∴ $\frac{AB}{SinD} =\frac{AD}{sinB}$

∴ 18/sin 18 = AD/sin 76

∴ AD = 18 * (sin 76)/(sin 18) ≈ 56.5 (to the nearest tenth of a foot)

So, The length of the tree = 56.5 ft.

The answer is 56.5 ft
