Answer:

Claire traveled for 9 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total Distance traveled = 701 miles

Distance traveled each day = 80 miles

Distance traveled on last day = 61 miles

We need to find the number of days Claire traveled.

Solution:

Let the number of days Claire traveled be denoted by 'd'.

Now we can say that;

Total Distance traveled is equal to sum of Distance traveled each day multiplied by number of days and Distance traveled on last day.

framing in equation form we get;

80d+61=701

Now Subtracting both side by 61 using Subtraction Property of Equality we get;

80d+61-61=701-61\\\\80d = 640

Now Dividing both side by 80 we get;

\frac{80d}{80}=\frac{640}{80}\\\\d=8

Hence Claire traveled 80 miles in 8 days and 61 miles on last day making of total <u>9 days</u> of travel.

A pitcher contains 2/3 quart of lemonade. If an equal amount of lemonade is poured into each of six glasses, how much lemonade w
Flura [38]
It says that the amount of lemonade is equally spread among six glasses, right?

So, you just have to take the total amount of lemonade (2/3 quart) and divide it by how many glasses you need to fill (6).

2/3 divided by 6 = 0.11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 quarts.

Your final answer is that each cup will be filled with 0.1 (repeating) quarts of lemonade.  In fractional form, you could say that each cup will be filled with 1/9 quarts of lemonade.

The radius is 2.  

We will rewrite this equation in center-radius form,
(x-h)²+(y-k²)=r²

where (h, k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius.

In order to do this, we will need to complete the square.  We will first rewrite this with the x terms grouped together and the y terms grouped together:
x²+4x+y²-2y = -1

To complete the square for the x terms, we divide the coefficient b (as in bx) by 2:

4/2 = 2

Now we square this:
2²=4

We will add this to both sides of the equation (in order to maintain balance, we must add it to both sides):
x²+4x+4+y²-2y=-1+4
x²+4x+4+y²-2y=3

We have completed the square for the x terms.  When we divided b by 2, that gave us the number we need, 2:
(x+2)²+y²-2y=3

Now we will do the same thing for the y terms.  The b for our y terms is -2:

-2/2 = -1
(-1)²=1

So we will add 1 to both sides, and use -1 in the finalized form:
(x+2)²+y²-2y+1=3+1
(x+2)²+(y-1)²=4

We can see that the center would be located at (-2, 1) and the radius is √4=2.

Jonathan has a bag that co rains exactly one red marble (r), one yellow marble (y) and one green marble (g). He chooses a marble
liraira [26]

Answer: The first outcome shall be 0.33 or 33%.

The second outcome would be 0.5 or 50%

Step-by-step explanation: The bag contains exactly one yellow, one red and one green marble. So when he draws the first marble the sample space shall be the total possible outcomes, which is three, since he has three (3) marbles altogether. When he draws the first time without looking, all three marbles have an equal probability of being picked which can be derived thus;

P(Red) = Number of required possibilities/Number of all possibilities

P(Red) = 1/3

P(Red) = 0.33

Note that there is only one marble of each color which means P(Yellow) and P(Green) is also 0.33 respectively.

After choosing the first marble, without replacing the first one he now chooses another marble. The sample size would have reduced to 2 (since one marble has been drawn). Hence, the outcome when he draw a second marble can be calculated as follows;

P(Red) = Number of required outcomes/Number of possible outcomes

P(Red) = 1/2

P(Red) = 0.5
