Newborn = 18 inches
adult boa = 9 * 18 + 2 = 164 inches

Since all the information is given, then merely put the necessary facts in order.

Had the length of the newborn been unknown, it would have been represented by x.

9x + 2 = 164
9x = 164 - 2
9x = 162
9x/9 = 162/9
x = 18

Start with 18 × 9 = 162
Next add 162 + 2 = 164
Last put 164 on the papper

A sporting goods store sells right-handed and left-handed baseball gloves. In one month, 12 gloves were sold for a total revenue

stepladder [879]

Answer:

$9$ right-handed gloves and $3$ left-handed gloves were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: In one month, $12$ gloves were sold for a total revenue of $\$561$ .

right-handed gloves cost $\$45$ and left-handed gloves cost $\$52$ .

To find: How much of each type of gloves did they sell?

Solution: Let they sell $x$ right-handed gloves, and $y$ left-handed gloves.

Now, cost of each right-handed gloves $=\$45$

cost of each left-handed gloves $=\$52$

Total revenue $=\$561$

So, we get

$45x+52y=561\:\:\:...(i)$

Also, in a month $12$ gloves were sold.

So, we get

$x+y=12\:\:\:...(ii)$

Now, from $(ii)$ we get, $x=12-y$ .

Putting $x=12-y$ in equation $(i)$ , we get

$45(12-y)+52y=561$

$\implies 540-45y+52y=561$

$\implies7y=561-540$

$\implies7y=21$

$\implies y=\frac{21}{7}$

$\implies y=3$

Now, putting $y=3$ in equation $(ii)$ , we get

$x+3=12$

$\implies x=12-3$

$\implies x=9$

Hence, $9$ right-handed gloves and $3$ left-handed gloves were sold.

The radius of a circle is 8 inches. What is the angle of an arc 2π inches long?

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

π/4 radians

Step-by-step explanation:

The arc length formula is s = rФ, where Ф is the central angle (in radians).

Here, r = 8 inches and s = arc length = 2π inches. We need to find the central angle, Ф. The formula given above is s = rФ, or, equivalently,

Ф = s/r.

Here, the central angle is Ф = s/r = 2π/8, or π/4 radians.

Which shows how the distributive property can be used to evaluate 7 times 8 and four-fifths?

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

I have no clue as to what the options were, but the answer is 61 and three-fifths.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Well, the fraction options were a little distorted, so I'll work it out anyway.</em>

<em />

7 • 8 4/5

7(8 + 4/5)

<em>7 • 8 is 56, and 7 • 4/5 is 28/5.</em>

56 + 28/5

<em>28/5 as a mixed-number fraction (I think that's what it's called) is 5 3/5.</em>

56 + 5 + 3/5

61 + 3/5

61 3/5 (61 and three-fifths)

There!

<em>(Sorry about not getting the options...)</em>
