Answer:

Marion bought 6  frog lures and 8 lizard fishing lures.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let f represent frog lures and l represent lizard lures.


The total packages Marion bought is

f+l=14...eqn1


If she bought frog lures in packages of 4 and lizard lures in packages of 6 for a total of 72 lures, then

4f+6l=72...eqn2


We make f the subject in equation 1 and put it into equation 2 to get;

f=14-l...eqn3


We put equation 3 into equation 2 to get;

4(14-l)+6l=72


\Righttarrow 2(14-l)+3l=36


We expand the bracket to get;

28-2l+3l=36


-2l+3l=36-28


l=8


We put l=8 into equation 3 to get;

f=14-8


f=6

Therefore Marion bought 6  frog lures and 8 lizard fishing lures.

A rectangular room is 11 feet by 18 feet. The ceilings are 10 feet high. If a gallon of paint covers 250 square feet. How many g
Bingel [31]

Answer:

2.32 gallons of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the area of all 4 sides of the room, with the equation A = lw

11(10)

= 110 (for 2 of the walls)

18(10)

= 180 (for the other 2 walls)

Add these up:

110 + 110 + 180 + 180

= 580

Then, divide this by 250:

580/250

= 2.32

So, 2.32 gallons of paint will be needed to paint the room.

This is a pre calculus question that I need help with, serious answer PLEASE and thank you! Will give brainliest.
IRISSAK [1]

The wording of this question is a bit confusing... You can't write a sequence in sigma notation, but rather a series or sum. I think the question is asking you to write the sum of the sequence,

\dfrac12,\dfrac14,\dfrac18,\ldots,\dfrac1{64}

which would be

\dfrac12+\dfrac14+\dfrac18+\cdots+\dfrac1{64}

in sigma notation.

To do this, notice that the denominator in each term is a power of 2, starting with 2^1=2 and ending with 2^6=64. So in sigma notation, this series is

\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^6\frac1{2^n}

Your realized income is $36,864.00/yr. Your fixed and housing expenses are 32% and your savings are 15% of your realized income
andriy [413]

Answer:

You will have $1628.16 per month in discretionary money.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the amount of money you have left for discretionary purposes at the end of the money, you need to calculate the total amount of your monthly pay is going towards expenses and savings.  Since there are 12 months in a year, your monthly income is $3072.  Of that amount, you spend 32% on housing and 15% on savings, for a total of 47%.  The remaining percentage of your income would be considered discretionary, which would account for 53%.  To find the amount of money, you take your monthly income and multiply it by 53%, or .53, which gives you $1628.16.

Komok [63]
I just kind of sat here playing with numbers i dont really know a shortcut but the answer is 10 chickens and 15 rabbits 
10*2= 20 each chicken has two legs so thats 10 heads 20 legs
15*4=60 each rabbit has four legs so thats 15 heads 60 legs
15+10=25 heads
20+60=60 legs

Manish and Jhanavi each receive an equal bonus. Manish has 1/2 fraction of allowance as saving accounts , 1/4 of the fraction he
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Manish has Rs630 while Jhanavi has Rs168.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction Manish would have left would be subtracting the fraction on savings as well as that spent on the mall. Which would be;

1 -( 1/2 + 1/4)=1 -3/4 = 1/4

Meaning Manish had 1/4 of his allowance left on him.

Which means 1/4 × Rs. 2520=Rs630

Similarly for Jhanavi, we have :

The fraction left as

1-(1/3 +3/5) = 1 - ( 14/15) = 1/15

Meaning 1/15 of the allowance got remains which is;

1/15 × Rs. 2520= Rs.168
