Answer:
2214 buses
Step-by-step explanation:
Diesel buses constitute 1/3 of the total, so the total number of buses is 3 times the number of diesel buses.
total = 3·738 = 2214
The transit system has 2214 buses.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
With what?
A.) according to the graph, Austin appears to be burning 10 calories per minute. If you look at a perfect point on the graph, which I chose (50,5) and you do x over y or calories per minute, you get a unit rate of 10 calories per minute.
b.) Since you have already found the unit rate in question a, your slope would be 10.
A) if 18 muffins = 1 box,
1020 muffins = 1020/18 boxes
= 56.67 boxes
So they used 56 full boxes.
b) if 25 cookies = 1 bag
2820 cookies = 2820/25 bags
= 112.8 bags
So they used 112 full bags.
c) the remainders from a and b represent muffins and cookies left over.
<u>Question 8</u>
a^2 + 7a + 12
= (a+3)(a+4)
When factorising a quadratic, the product of the two factors should equal the constant term (12), and the sum of the two factors should equal the linear term (7). To find the two factors, list out the factors of 12 (1x12, 2x6, 3x4) and identify the pair that adds up to 7 (3+4).
An alternative method if you get stuck during your exam would be to solve it algebraically using the quadratic formula and then write it in the factorised form.
a = (-7 +or- sqrt(7^2 - 4(1)(12)) / 2(1)
= (-7 +or- sqrt(1))/2
= -3 or -4
These factors are the negative of the values that would go in the brackets when written in factorised form, as when a = -3 the factor (a+3) would equal 0. (If it were positive 3 instead, then in the factorised form it would be a-3).
<u>Question 10</u>
-3(x - y)/9 + (4x - 7y)/2 - (x + y)/18
Rewrite each fraction with a common denominator so you can combine the fractions into one.
= -6(x - y)/18 + 9(4x - 7y)/18 - (x + y)/18
= (-6(x - y) + 9(4x - 7y) - (x + y)) /18
Expand the brackets and collect like terms.
= (-6x + 6y + 36x - 63y - x - y)/18
= (29x - 58y)/18
= 29/18 x - 29/9 y
