Answer: old McDonald has 54 chickens and 2 cows.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of chickens that old McDonald have.

Let y represent the number of cows that old McDonald have.

He counted 56 heads. A chicken and a cow has one head each. It means that

x + y = 56

He counted 116 legs. A chicken has 2 legs and a cow has 4 legs. It means that

2x + 4y = 116 - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 56 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2(56 - y) + 4y = 116

112 - 2y + 4y = 116

- 2y + 4y = 116 - 112

2y = 4

y = 4/2 = 2

x = 56 - y = 56 - 2

x = 54

Round your answer to the nearest hundredth BC=?
miskamm [114]

Answer:

BC = 1.71

Step-by-step explanation:

well to start we have to know the relationship between angles, legs and the hypotenuse  in a right triangle

α = 70°

a: adjacent  = BC

h: hypotenuse = 5

sin α = o/h

cos α= a/h

tan α = o/a

we see that it has (angle, adjacent, hypotenuse)

we look at which meets those data between the sine, cosine and tangent

is the cosine

cos α = a/h

Now we replace the values ​​and solve

cos 70 = a/5

0.34202 = a/5

0.34202 * 5 = a

1.7101 = a

round to the neares hundredth

a = 1.7101 = 1.71

BC = 1.71

Rashid [163]

Answer:

5 classes.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the 2^k rule to determine the number of classes for a frequency distribution.

The 2^k rule says that 2^k\geq n where

k is the number of classes

n is the number of the data points

We know that the number of data points is n = 20.

Next, we start searching for k so that we can get a number 2 to the k that is larger that the number of data points.

2^4=16\\2^5=32

This suggests that you should use 5 classes.
