Answer:

Allen sold 50 cell phones while Kay sold 67 cell phones.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cell phones sold by Allen be x. This will imply that the number of cell phones sold by Kay is x + 17.

Furthermore, we are informed that together they sold a total of 117 cell phones. Therefore, we use the following equation to determine the number of cell phones sold by each;

x + x + 17 = 117

2x + 17 = 117

2x = 100

x = 50

Therefore, Allen sold 50 cell phones while Kay sold 67 cell phones.

Answer:

Equations: x = y + 17  and x + y =  117

Kay sold 67 cell phones and Allen sold 50 cell phones.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cell phones sold by Kay be "x" and the number of cell phones sold by Allen be "y"

According to the given statement Kay sold 17 more cell phones than Allen. This means, x would be 17 larger than y. In equation this can be represented as:

x = y + 17                                                     Equation 1

Together they sold 117 cell phones. This means, sum of x and y would be 117. In equation this would be:

x + y =  117                                                   Equation 2

Above two equations can be used to determine the number of cell phones sold by Kay and Allen.

Using value of x from Equation 1 into Equation 2, we get:

y + 17 + y = 117

2y = 117 - 17

2y = 100

y = 50

Using the value of y in Equation 1, we get:

x = 50 + 17 = 67

This means, Kay sold 67 cell phones and Allen sold 50 cell phones.

You have 350 feet of fencing to enclose a rectangular plot that borders on a river. If you do not fence the side along the river
IrinaVladis [17]

The length and width that will maximize the area are 175 ft and 87.5 ft respectively

The largest area that can be enclosed is 15312.5 ft²

<h3>Area of a rectangle</h3>
  • area = lw

where

l = length

w = width

The fencing is 350 ft it is use to enclose a rectangular plot with a river occupying one part.

Therefore,

perimeter = l + 2w

350 = l + 2w

l = 350 - 2w

area = (350 - 2w)w

(350 - 2w)w = 0

where

w = 0 or 175

average = 175/2 = 87.5

Hence, the max area is at w = 87.5 ft

Therefore,

l = 350 - 2(87.5) = 175 ft

length = 175 ft

width =  87.5 ft

Therefore,

area = 175 × 87.5 = 15312.5 ft²

Therefore, the largest area that can be enclosed is 15312.5 ft²

Answer:

y = 496

Step-by-step explanation:

62 - 1/8y = 0

8 (62 - 1/8y ) = 8×0

496 - y = 0

496 = y

y = 496

A chain has a ribbon tied to it every 2/3 foot. If the chain is 10 2/3 feet long, how many ribbons are tied to the chain??
patriot [66]

Answer:

16 ribbons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the length of the chain as 10\frac{2}{3} and there is a ribbon tied to it every \frac{2}{3}, we can take the total length of the chain and divide by the measure of \frac{2}{3}:

10\frac{2}{3}=\frac{32}{3}

\frac{\frac{32}{3}}{\frac{2}{3}}=\frac{32}{3}*\frac{3}{2}=\frac{96}{6}=16

When dividing with fractions, we use the rule of 'keep/change/flip' to keep the first fractions, change the operation to multiplication and flip the second fraction.
