Ellie requires 280 kg, Popcorn requires 70 kg and Zac requires 140 kg each week

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • Ellie, the elephant, eats 4 times as much as Popcorn, the pony
  • Zac, the zebra, eats twice as much as Popcorn
  • Altogether, they eat 490 kilograms of feed per week

We need to find how much feed each of them requires each week

Assume that Popcorn eats x kg each week

∵ Popcorn eats x kg each week

∵ Ellie eats 4 times as much as Popcorn

- Multiply x by 4 to find how much Ellie eats

∴ Ellie eats = 4 × x = 4 x kg

∵ Zac eats twice as much as Popcorn

- Multiply x by 2 o find how much Zac eats

∴ Zac eats = x × 2 = 2 x kg

- Add all of them to find how much they eat altogether

∴ Altogether eats = x + 4 x + 2 x = 7 x kg

∵ Altogether, they eat 490 kilograms of feed

- Equate the sum of their eat by 490

∴ 7 x = 490

- Divide both sides by 7

∴ x = 70

∵ Ellie eats 4 x

∴ Ellie eats = 4(70) = 280 kg

∵ Popcorn eats x

∴ Popcorn eats = 70 kg

∵ Zac eats 2 x

∴ Zac eats = 2(70) = 140 kg

Ellie requires 280 kg, Popcorn requires 70 kg and Zac requires 140 kg each week

What is the standard form equation of the line shown below? Graph of a line going through negative 2, 3 and 1, negative 3
V125BC [204]

Answer:

3. 2x + y = −1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line, we write it first in the slope-intercept form:

y=mx+q

where

m is the slope

q is the y-intercept

From the graph, we see that the line crosses the y-axis at y = -1, so the y-intercept is -1:

q=-1

Now we have to find the slope, by calculating the rate of change of the line through 2 points:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Taking the two points at (-2,3) and (1,-3), we find:

m=\frac{-3-3}{1-(-2)}=\frac{-6}{3}=-2

So the equation of the line is

y=-2x-1

Now we have to re-arrange it in the standard form, so in the form

ax+bx=c

where a, b and c are integer numbers.

To do that, we simply add +2x on both sides of the equation of the line in the slope-intercept form, and we get:

y+2x=-1

So, option 3).

Find the midsegment of the triangle which is parallel to CA.​
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

\pmb{ \pink{QUESTION�}}

Find the midsegment of the triangle which is parallel to CA.

\pmb{ \pink{ANSWER:-}}

Tip

  • A midsegment of a triangle is a segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle.
  • This segment has two special properties. It is always parallel to the third side, and the length of the midsegment is half the length of the third side.
  • If two segments are congruent, then they have the same length or measure.In other words, congruent sides of a triangle have the same length.

\frak{Explanation:-}

We have to find the segment which is parallel to CA.

From the given data,

The segment EG is the midsegment of the triangle\triangle ABC.

So we have,

A midsegment of a triangle is a segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle. This segment has two special properties. It is always parallel to the third side.

\implies\rm{midsegment \:  EG \: parallel \: to \:  CA}

Math question down below
Sholpan [36]
5(x + 30) 

x + 30 represents the number of minutes per day he practices
5 is the number of days he practices
so 5(x+30) = the total number of minutes he practices in 5 days

For example, if he practices the piano for 20 minutes per day and the violin for 30 minutes per day, he practices a total of 50 minutes per day. For 5 days that would be 5 x 50 = 250 minutes in 5 days.

Plug that into the equation
5(x+30) = 5(20+30) = 5(50) = 250
