You have 6 pints of glaze. It takes 7/8 of a pint to glaze a bowl and 9/16 of a pint to glaze a plate. You want to glaze 5 bowls

, and then use the rest for plates. How many plates can you glaze? How much glaze will be left over?

The answer is 2 plates and .50 glaze left over.

How did I get this?

First lets calculate how many bowls can we glaze. 
5 bowls * 7/8 of a pint = 4.375 pints
4.375 = how many glaze we will need to make 5 bowls.

6 pints - 4.375pints = 1.625 pints left over after we glaze the bowls. 

Now, we need to figure out how many plates we can make with 1.625 glaze.

P X 9/16 = 1.625
Multiply both sides by 16/9 to isolate the variable.
P = 1.625*16/9 
P = 2.88 plates

So, we can only glaze 2 plates. 

How many glaze is left over?
First, how many glaze did we have left over from the bowls? 1.625 glaze
Then, how many plates did we make? 2 at .5625 each = 1.125 glaze

1.625 - 1.125 = .50 glaze left over.

The answer is 2 plates and .50 glaze left over.

A 15 ft. telephone pole has a wire that extends from the top of the pole to the ground. The wire and the ground form a 42° angle
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Correct choice is A

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider right triangle ABC formed by the telephone pole (side AB) and ground (side BC). In this triangle AC is the length of the wire, BC is the distance from the base of the pole to the spot where the wire touches the ground and AB=15 ft, ∠ACB=42°.

Then

  • \sin 42^{\circ}=\dfrac{AB}{AC}\Rightarrow AC=\dfrac{AB}{\sin 42^{\circ}}=\dfrac{15}{\sin 42^{\circ}}\approx 22.4\ ft.
  • \tan 42^{\circ}=\dfrac{AB}{BC}\Rightarrow BC=\dfrac{AB}{\tan 42^{\circ}}=\dfrac{15}{\sin 42^{\circ}}\approx 16.7\ ft.

The sum of two numbers is 80 If four times the smaller number is subtracted from the larger number, the result is 10. Find the t
timama [110]
This can be solved using a system of equations. 
\left \{ {{x+y=80} \atop {x-4y=10} \right. 

Subtract y from both sides.
x=80-y
Substitute:
80-y-4y=80-5y=10
Subtract 80 from both sides:
5y=70
Divide both sides by 5:
y= \frac{70}{5} =14
Substitute.
x=80-14=66

Graph the solution set of this inequality: 5x − 4y > 20.
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the inequality 5x − 4y > 20 for y, as follows:  Subtract 5x from both sides, obtaining:

-4y > 20 - 5x;

Then divide all terms by -4:

y    < -5 +(5/4)x, where the direction of the inequality sign has been reversed because of division by a negative quantity.

Temporarily replace the < symbol with =     obtaining    y = -5 +(5/4)x.  Now choose at least three x values and find the corresponding y values.  For example:

 x      y = -5 +(5/4)x  

 0          -5

 4            0

 -8         -15

Now plot these three points (0, -5), (4, 0) and (-8, -15).  Draw a dashed line through them.  Because of the < symbol in y    < -5 +(5/4)x, shade the area underneath the dashed line.
