Answer:

The enrollment drop is 12 students per year. The equation is 60=5d. The complete sentence would be the enrollment drop at the after school program dropped 12 students per year, and the equation is 60=5d

Step-by-step explanation:

So I will start with explaining the equation. 60 is the amount of students that dropped, 5 is the year, and d is the enrollment drop rate per year that you are trying to find. The way to use this equation is to isolate d. To do that you divide both sides of the equation by 5, this leaves you with 12 = d. Therefore your yearly enrollment drop is 12 students.

60 = 5d

60/5 = d

60/5 = 12

12 = d

Hopefully this explained your answer.

Relate Fractions, Decimals, and Money. Write the money amount as a fraction in terms of dollars. The problems are $0.66 and $1.0

You convert a decimal to a fraction by putting the digits to the right of the decimal point over "1" followed by the same number of zeros. (Most folks learn this in 3rd or 4th grade.)

0.66 = 66/100 . . . . . 2 decimals, so the denominator is 100

Then you reduce the fraction by canceling common factors. It helps to know your times tables and divisibility rules. (Or you can have your calculator do it.)

0.66 = 66/100 = 33/50
1.00 = 100/100 = 1

12. A flat, square roof needs a square patch in the corner to seal a leak. The side length of

NISA [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the good part= area of whole roof - area of bad part

Since the roof is a square roof, the area will be calculated using the formulae for area of a square

Area of a square =length²

Area of good part =(x+12)²-x²

A= {(x+12)(x+12)} - x²

A = (x²+12x+12x+144) -x²

Open the bracket and rearrange the equation

A= x²-x²+24x+144

A=(24x+144) ft

Jocelyn owns a food truck that sells tacos and burritos. She only has enough supplies to make 150 tacos or burritos. She sells e

timurjin [86]

Answer:

We know that:

Price of a taco = $4

Price of a burrito = $6.50

x = number of tacos sold

y = number of burritos sold.

We must have that:

x + y ≤ 150 (Because she only has supplies to make 150 tacos or burritos, but she can sell less than that)

And also we know that she must sell at least $780, then:

x*$4 + y*$6.50 ≥ $780

Now we found the system of inequalities:

x + y ≤ 150

x*$4 + y*$6.50 ≥ $780

To solve it graphically, we just need to find each one of the region solutions for each equation, and the intersection of these regions will be the solution for the system.

To graph them may be easier to write them as lines, you can do it as follows:

y ≤ 150 - x

y ≥ ($780 - x*$4)/$6.50

in the first equation, we will shade the area below the line, and in the second equation, we will shade the area above the line.

You can see the image below.

Where the accepted solutions are the ones in the darker part, and we only restrict this to positive values of x (because of how we defined the variable x)

Then looking at the image, we can see that one solution can be the point

x = 20, y = 120
