Answer:

8 pens

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>Finding the number of pens bought </u></h2>

pencil costs 0.27

pen costs 0.32

6 * pencils + x pens = 4.18

6 * 0.27 + x * 0.32 = 4.18

1.62 + 0.32x = 4.18

0.32x = 4.18 - 1.62

0.32x = 2.56

x = 2.56/0.32

x = 8

<u>hence 8 pens were bought </u>

What value of x satisfies the equation 6.4−2x−6.63x=610.5 ?

Nesterboy [21]

6.4 - 2x - 6.63x = 610.5
subtract 6.4 from both sides
-2x -6.63x =604.1
collect like terms
-8.63x = 604.1
divide both sides by -8.63

x= -70

The University of Montana ski team has thirteen entrants in a men's downhill ski event. The coach would like the first, second,

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

1716 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of entrants = 13

The number of ways of attaining first, second and third position :

The number of ways of attaining first ; only 1 person can be first ;

Using permutation :

nPr = n! ÷(n-r)!

13P1 = 13! ÷ 12! = 13

Second position :

We have 12 entrants left :

nPr = n! ÷(n-r)!

12P1 = 12! ÷ 11! = 12

Third position :

We have 11 entrants left :

nPr = n! ÷(n-r)!

11P1 = 11! ÷ 10! = 11

Hence, Number of ways = (13 * 12 * 11) = 1716 ways

Answer:

4.71 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Incomplete question [See comment for complete question]

Given

Shape: Cone

$r = 3$ -- radius

$h = 7$ --- height

$Rate = 14in^3/min$

Required

Time to pass out all liquid

First, calculate the volume of the cone.

This is calculated as:

$V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h$

This gives:

$V = \frac{1}{3} * 3.14 * 3^2 * 7$

$V = \frac{1}{3} * 197.82$

$V = 65.94in^3$

To calculate the time, we make use of the following rate formula.

$Rate = \frac{Volume}{Time}$

Make Time the subject

$Time= \frac{Volume}{Rate }$

This gives:

$Time= \frac{65.94in^3}{14in^3/min}$

$Time= \frac{65.94in^3}{14in^3}min$

Cancel out the units

$Time= \frac{65.94}{14} min$

$Time= 4.71 min\\$
