Answer:

The number of ducks Old Mc Donald raises are 23 and the number of cows Old Mc Donald raises are 77.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Old Mc Donald raises ducks and cows. The animals have a total of 100 heads and 354 feet.

Let the number of ducks Old Mc Donald raises be 'x' and the number of cows Old Mc Donald raises be 'y'.

So, according to the question;

  • The first condition states that the animals have a total of 100 heads, that means;

                                   x+y=100

                                    x=100-y  -------------------- [equation 1]

{because one head of a duck and one head of cow}

  • The second condition states that the animals have a total of 354 feet, that means;

                                   2x+4y=354

                                   x+2y=177   --------------- [equation 2]

{because there are two feet of a duck and four feet of cow}

Now, putting the value of x in equation 2 we get;

                                  100-y+2y=177

                                  y=177-100

                                    y = 77 cows

Putting this value of y in equation 1 we get;

                                 x = 100 - y

                                 x = 100 - 77 = 23 ducks

Hence, the number of ducks Old Mc Donald raises are 23 and the number of cows Old Mc Donald raises are 77.

If two positive fractions are less than 1, why is their product also less than 1?
igor_vitrenko [27]
The product of two positive fractions are also less than one because you are multiplying a number which is already less than 1.

For example.

1/ 2 = is 50% of a whole.

When you multiply 1/2 by 1/2 you do not get the 100% of the whole because you are only getting 50% of the 50% of the whole, which in turn is equivalent to 25% of the whole.

1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 of the whole.

The only time you can get a result of 1 and above where two fractions are less than 1 is when you perform addition of these fractions.

1/2 + 1/2 = 1 - ALL CREDITS GO TO @TASKMASTERS!

Show that KLPQ is a parallelogram
Alex787 [66]

Step-by-step explanation:

m = 14, n = 12.5

m<L = (5m + 36)° = (5(14) + 36)°

L = 106°

m<p= (6n-1°)=(6x12.5-1°)

p=74°

m<Q = (4m + 50)° = (4(14) + 50)°

Q = 106°

k=360°-(106°+74+°106°)=360°-286°

k=74°

The sum of the interior angle of a parallelogram is 360°

The opposite side of a parallelogram are equal.

Please explain to me how to solve this problem and what would be the correct answer answer asap!!!
hodyreva [135]
Given
f(x)= -3x - 5
g(x)= 4x - 2

Find
(f - g)(x)
substitute the f and g values in (f - g)

(f - g)(x)= -3x - 5 - (4x - 2)
change the signs in parentheses because there is a negative sign in front of the parentheses

(f - g)(x)= -3x - 5 - 4x + 2
combine like terms

(f - g)(x)= -7x - 3


ANSWER: (f - g)(x)= -7x - 3

Hope this helps! :)

Which Mean Absolute Deviation represents more consistency? 15.2 or 10.9
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

10.9

Step-by-step Explanation:

The Mean Absolute Deviation of a given data set tells us how far apart, on average, each data value is to the mean of the data set.

The smaller the Mean Absolute Deviation of a given data set is, the closer each data value is to the mean. This also implies less variability of the data set.

Invariably, the smaller the M.A.D, which connotes less variability, the more consistent the data set is.

Therefore, a M.A.D of 10.9 represents more consistency than a M.A.D of 15.2
