Answers:
- Total equation: x+y = 80
- Legs equation: 2x+4y = 248
- How many ducks? 36
- How many cows? 44
====================================================
Further explanation:
- x = number of ducks
- y = number of cows
x+y = 80 is the total equation (ie the head count equation) since we assume each animal has 1 head, and there are 80 heads total.
That equation can be solved to y = 80-x after subtracting x from both sides.
The legs equation is 2x+4y = 248 because...
- 2x = number of legs from all the ducks only
- 4y = number of legs from all the cows only
- 2x+4y = total number of legs from both types of animals combined
We're told there are 248 legs overall, so that's how we ended up with 2x+4y = 248
------------
Let's plug y = 80-x into the second equation and solve for x.
2x+4y = 248
2x+4( y ) = 248
2x+4( 80-x ) = 248
2x+320-4x = 248
-2x+320 = 248
-2x = 248-320
-2x = -72
x = -72/(-2)
x = 36
There are 36 ducks
Now use this x value to find y
y = 80-x
y = 80-36
y = 44
There are 44 cows.
------------
Check:
36 ducks + 44 cows = 80 animals total
36*2 + 44*4 = 72 + 176 = 248 legs total
The answers are confirmed.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: 1 foot= 12 inches
so length 5.5 inches= 0.458 feet or 5.5/12
width 4 inches= 0.33 feet or 4/12
area 4x5.5= 1.833 feet or 22/12
2389.51 times 6% equals 143.37 so 6% of his total sales equals 143.37. 6.25 times 37.5 equals 234.37 234.37+143.37 equals 377.745 so no it isn't enough. I hope this answer helps you
Answer:
Probability that both such alarms fail is 0.03027
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability the alarm fails = 0.174 (this is calculated by dividing the percentage by 100 like: 17.4/100)
Probability that both such alarms fail = 0.174 * 0.174 = 0.03027
