Answer:

<em>48 spices</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of spices each has is a multiple of 5, 3, and 4.

The number of spices each has is 5x, 3x, and 4x.

Pru has 5x spices.

Piper has 3x spices.

Pru has 24 more spices than Piper, so

5x = 3x + 24

2x = 24

x = 12

Phoebe has 4x spices, so Phoebe has

4(12) = 48

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:  Pru, Piper, Phoebe their ratio 5:3:4 added = 12

What this would mean is that Pru has 5/12 of the total amount, Piper has 3/12 of the total, and Phoebe has 4/12 of the total amount of spices all together.


pru = piper + 24

5/12x = 3/12x + 24

5/12x - 3/12x = 24

2/12x = 24

x = 24 / (1/6)

x = 24 * 6

x = 144 spices in all.


Pru has : 5/12(144) = 720/12 = 60 spices

Piper has : 3/12(144) = 432/12 = 36 spices

Phoebe has : 4/12(144) = 576/12 = 48 spices <====

The volume of a cube is 64 cubic inches. Which expression represents s, the length of a side of the cube?
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

<h2>Therefore the length of a side of a cube is \sqrt[3]{64}\ or\ 4</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cube is expressed as L³ where L is the length of each side of the cube.

Given volume of a cube = 64in³

On substituting;

64 = L³

Taking the cube root of both sides to determine L we have;

\sqrt[3]{64} = (\sqrt[3]{L})^{3}\\\sqrt[3]{64} = L\\L=4

Therefore the length of a side of a cube is \sqrt[3]{64}\ or\ 4

The equation below represents the function p.
svet-max [94.6K]
Answers:

1)Tthe first answer is that as x increases the value of  p(x) approaches a number that is greater than  q (x).


2) the y-intercept of the function p is greater than the y-intercept of the function q.


Explanation:


1) Value of the functions as x increases.


Function p:

p(x)=  ( \frac{2}{5} )^{x} -3

As x increases, the value of the function is the limit when x → ∞.

Since [2/5] is less than 1, the limit of [2/5]ˣ when x → ∞ is 0, and the limit of p(x) is 0 - 3 =  -3.

While in the graph you see that the function q has a horizontal asymptote that shows that the limit of q (x) when x → ∞ is - 4.

Then, the first answer is that as x increases the value of  p(x) approaches a number that is greater than  q (x).


2) y - intercepts.

i) To determine the y-intercept of the function p(x), just replace x = 0 in the equation:
p(x) = [ 2 / 5]⁰ - 3 = 1 - 3 = - 2

ii) The y-intercept of q(x) is read in the graph. It is - 3.

Then the answer is that the y-intercept of the function p is greater than the y-intercept of the function q.
