7:8 it could also be written as 7 to 8 or 7/8

Since we need to find out SIXTH to FIFTH grades we have to put the sixth graders first. Hope this helps and have a great day!

Answer:

the ratio of the sixth-grade students to fifth-grade students on the team is 7 : 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Parameters

Fifth grade students of the basket team = 8

Sixth grade students of the basket team = 7

Required;

Ratio of the sixth-grade students to fifth-grade students on the team

Let F represent the fifth graders

F = 8

Let S represent the sixth graders

S = 7

The ratio of S to F is represented mathematically by S : F

By substituton

S : F becomes

7 : 8

Hence, the ratio of the sixth-grade students to fifth-grade students on the team is 7 : 8

Given the center of the circle (-3,4) and a point on the circle (-6,2), (10,4) is on the circle

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Part 1) False

Part 2) False

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of the circle in standard form is equal to

$(x-h)^{2} +(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}$

where

(h,k) is the center and r is the radius

In this problem the distance between the center and a point on the circle is equal to the radius

The formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

Part 1) given the center of the circle (-3,4) and a point on the circle (-6,2), (10,4) is on the circle.

true or false

substitute the center of the circle in the equation in standard form

$(x+3)^{2} +(y-4)^{2}=r^{2}$

Find the distance (radius) between the center (-3,4) and (-6,2)

substitute in the formula of distance

$r=\sqrt{(2-4)^{2}+(-6+3)^{2}}$

$r=\sqrt{(-2)^{2}+(-3)^{2}}$

$r=\sqrt{13}\ units$

The equation of the circle is equal to

$(x+3)^{2} +(y-4)^{2}=(\sqrt{13}){2}$

$(x+3)^{2} +(y-4)^{2}=13$

Verify if the point (10,4) is on the circle

we know that

If a ordered pair is on the circle, then the ordered pair must satisfy the equation of the circle

For x=10,y=4

substitute

$(10+3)^{2} +(4-4)^{2}=13$

$(13)^{2} +(0)^{2}=13$

$169=13$ -----> is not true

therefore

The point is not on the circle

The statement is false

Part 2) given the center of the circle (1,3) and a point on the circle (2,6), (11,5) is on the circle.

true or false

substitute the center of the circle in the equation in standard form

$(x-1)^{2} +(y-3)^{2}=r^{2}$

Find the distance (radius) between the center (1,3) and (2,6)

substitute in the formula of distance

$r=\sqrt{(6-3)^{2}+(2-1)^{2}}$

$r=\sqrt{(3)^{2}+(1)^{2}}$

$r=\sqrt{10}\ units$

The equation of the circle is equal to

$(x-1)^{2} +(y-3)^{2}=(\sqrt{10}){2}$

$(x-1)^{2} +(y-3)^{2}=10$

Verify if the point (11,5) is on the circle

we know that

If a ordered pair is on the circle, then the ordered pair must satisfy the equation of the circle

For x=11,y=5

substitute

$(11-1)^{2} +(5-3)^{2}=10$

$(10)^{2} +(2)^{2}=10$

$104=10$ -----> is not true

therefore

The point is not on the circle

The statement is false

If you wish to warm 40 kg of water by 18 ∘C for your bath, find what the quantity of heat is needed. Express your answer in calo

Harman [31]

Answer:

Quantity of heat needed (Q) = 722.753 × 10³

Step-by-step explanation:

According to question,

Mass of water (m) = 40 kg

Change in temperature ( ΔT) = 18°c

specific heat capacity of water = 4200 j kg^-1 k^-1

The specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of 1 kg of substance to 1 degree celcius or 1 kelvin .

So, Heat (Q) = m×s×ΔT

Or, Q = 40 kg × 4200 × 18

or, Q = 3024 × 10³ joule

Hence, Quantity of heat needed (Q) = 3024 × 10³ joule

In calories 4.184 joule = 1 calorie

So, 3024 × 10³ joule = 722.753 × 10³

Can you find the unit rate? A fertilizer covers 5/8 square foot in 1/4 hour. What is the unit rate?

alexdok [17]

$\frac{5/8}{1/4} = \frac{x}{1} \\ \\ \frac{5}{8}= \frac{1}{4} x \\ \\ \frac{20}{8} =x$

Unit Rate: $\frac{20}{8}$ square feet per hour
