Please help! Hi, I'm stuck on a part of this question, we have to solve using Gauss Jordan Elimination: A corporation wants to l

ease a fleet of 12 airplanes with a combined carrying capacity of 220 passengers. The three available types of planes carry 10,15,20 passengers. How many of each type of plane should be leased?

Do common sense has anything to do with this question? Because 
<span>corporation might forget the arbitrary 12 airplane rule </span>
<span>and have 11 times 20 = 220. </span>
<span>But perhaps they get a discount if all 12 hangars are used! </span>

<span>Playing by the rules of the question:- </span>
<span>Let a, b, c be the aeroplanes that carry </span>
<span>10, 15, and 20 passengers, respectively, </span>

<span>a + b + c = 12 </span>
<span>10a +15b +20c = 220 </span>

<span>We may rearrange these as </span>
<span>4a + 4b + 4c = 48 </span>
<span>2a + 3b + 4c = 44 </span>
<span>Now subtract </span>
<span>2a + b = 4 </span>

<span>There appear to be 3 options </span>
<span>a = 0, b = 4 which means 220 = 0*10 + 4*15 + 8*20 </span>
<span>a = 1, b = 2 which means 220 = 1*10 + 2*15 + 9*20 </span>
<span>a = 2, b = 0 which means 220 = 2*10 + 0*15 + 7*20 </span>

<span>If you dismiss the ones with zeros it may be that </span>
<span>the expected answer to "How many of each plane" is </span>

<span>One that carries 10, 2 that carries 15, and 9 that carries 20 </span>

Tennis balls with a diameter of 2.5 in.are sold in cans of three. The can is a cylinder. What is the volume of the space in the
Alexxandr [17]

Using 3.14 for PI.

The radius of a ball and the can is half the diameter = 1.25

The height of the can is the height of 3 diameters = 7.5

Volume of one tennis ball:

4/3 x PI x 1.25^3 = 8.18 cubic inches.

Volume of 3 tennis balls: 3 x 8.18 = 24.54 cubic inches.

Volume of can:

PI x 1.25^2 x 7.5 = 36.80 cubic inches.

Space = 36.80 - 24.54 = 12.26 cubic inches.

Pam needs 3 1/2 cups of sugar to make 50 cupcakes. A 5- pound bag of sugar coats $3.69. There are about 2 cups of sugar in a pou
Lorico [155]

Answer:

The answer to your question is $1.29

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Total amount of cupcakes = 50

Total amount of sugar = 3 1/2 cups = 3.5 cups

Cost of 5-pound bag = $3.69

2 cups = 1 pound

Total cost = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the amount of pounds needed

                  2 cups ------------------ 1 pound

                  3.5 cups ---------------  x

                  x = (3.5 x 1) / 2

                  x = 3.5 / 2

                  x = 1.75 pounds

2.- Calculate the price of 1.75 pounds

                  5 pounds -------------- $3.69

                  1.75 pounds ----------    x

                  x = (1.75 x 3.69)/5

                  x = 6.46/5

                 x = $1.29

3.- Conclusion

The cost of sugar to prepare 50 cupcakes is $1.29

Ben jogged 4 and 1/2 miles in 1 and 1/4 hours at a constant rate. How far did Ben jog in one hour? *
Mrac [35]

let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then proceed.

\stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{9}{2}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{1}{4}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 4+1}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{5}{4}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\begin{array}{ccll} miles&hours\\ \cline{1-2} \frac{9}{2}&\frac{5}{4}\\[1em] x&1 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{~~ \frac{9}{2}~~}{x}=\cfrac{~~ \frac{5}{4}~~}{1}\implies \cfrac{~~ \frac{9}{2}~~}{\frac{x}{1}}=\cfrac{5}{4}\implies \cfrac{9}{2}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x}=\cfrac{5}{4} \\\\\\ \cfrac{9}{2x}=\cfrac{5}{4}\implies 36=10x\implies \cfrac{36}{10}=x\implies \cfrac{18}{5}=x\implies 3\frac{3}{5}=x

Which is greater: inches in a mile or seconds in a day? Show how you know.​
MrMuchimi

Assuming you don't know the exact numbers, we can sequentially figure out the number of inches in a mile and seconds in a day

Inches in a mile:

There are 5280 feet in a mile.

5280*12 = 63360 inches in a mile

Seconds in a day:

There are 24 hours in a day

There are 24*60 = 1440 minutes in a day

There are 1440*60 = 86400 seconds in a day

There are more seconds in a day than inches in a mile.
