The answer can not be found from the given information

Step-by-step explanation:

Two different types of tea are sold in your store

  • You know 100 cups of tea were sold
  • One type sold 5 times as much as the other type

We need to find how much of each type of tea were sold

Assume that the two types are x and y

∵ x represents one type of tea

∵ y represents the other type of tea

∵ 100 cups of tea where sold

- Add x and y, then equate the sum by 100

∴ x + y = 100 ⇒ (1)

∵ x type is 5 times as much as y type

∴ x = 5y ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equations to solve it

Substitute x in equation (1) by equation (2)

∴ 5y + y = 100

∴ 6y = 100

- Divide both sides by 6

∴ y = 16.67

<em>But you know number cups must be whole numbers</em>

The number cups can be 102 <em>OR</em> one type is 4 times as much as the other type

If the number of cups is 102, then

85 cups of one type and 17 cups of the other type were sold

If one type is 4 times as much as the other type, then

80 cups of one type and 20 cups of the other type were sold

The answer can not be found from the given information

at a track meet the longest shot put throw by a boy is 25 feet 8 inches the longest shot put by girls 19 feet 3 inches how many
Vesna [10]
Boy record = 25 feet 8 inches
Girl record = 19 feet 19 inches
Boy record / Girl record = 25 feet 8 inches / 19 feet 19 inches
Change the feet into inches
1 feet = 12 inches
25 feet = 25* 12 = 300 inches + 8 inches = 308 inches

19 feet = 19 * 12= 228 inches + 19 inches = 247 inches
Boy record / Girl record = 308 inches / 247 inches
Boy record / Girl record = 1.246 inches
Boy record = 1.246 Girl record
So
it is 1.246 times greater than girls record.

On a coordinate plane, how are the locations of the points (-4 , 8) and (-4 , -8) related?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

A. reflection across the y-axiss

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The locations of the two points are (-4 , 8) and (-4 , -8).

To find:

The relation between two points.

From the given points (-4, 8) and (-4 , -8), it is clear that the y-coordinates are same but the sign of x-coordinates are opposite.

If a figure is reflected across the y-axis, then we change the sign of x-coordinate and the y-coordinates remain same, i.e.,

(x,y)→(-x,y)

For (-4,8)

(-4,8)→ (-4,-8)

So, it is reflection across the y-axis.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
