Answer:

Carlotta needs 24 orange beads for her necklace.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each necklace, the ratio of blue beads to orange beads is 3 to 2. or 3:2

Total beads given to make a necklace is = 60

Let the number of orange beads be = x

The ratio is 2 orange beads out of 5 total beads

So, we can represent the ratio as:

$\frac{2}{5}=\frac{x}{60}$

$5x=120$

x=24

Hence, Carlotta needs 24 orange beads for her necklace.

Blue beads needed = $60-24=36$

We can also check the ratio for blue beads to orange beads:

$\frac{36}{24}$

Divide by 4, we get

$\frac{9}{6}$

Divide by 3, we get

$\frac{3}{2}$ ...... (the given ratio)

Therefore, Carlotta needs 24 orange beads for her necklace.

The deck that Amos is building is in the shape of a parallelogram, DGRY. The measure of

weqwewe [10]

Complete Question:

The deck that Amos is building is in the shape of a parallelogram, DGRY. The measure of D is five-halves the measure of Y. Find the measure of each angle of the deck.

Answer:

$\angle G = \angle Y = 51.43 ^{\circ}$

$\angle D = \angle R = 128.57 ^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Parallelogram DGRY

Dimension: $\angle D = \frac{5}{2}\angle Y$

Required

Find the measure of each angle

D and R are opposite sides & G and Y are also opposite sides.

So, we have:

$\angle D = \angle R = \frac{5}{2}\angle Y$

and

$\angle G = \angle Y$

The sum of angles is given as:

$\angle D + \angle G + \angle R + \angle Y=360^{\circ}$

Substitute values for $\angle D, \angle G \ \& \angle R$

$\frac{5}{2}\angle Y + \frac{5}{2}\angle Y + \angle Y + \angle Y = 360^{\circ}$

Take LCM

$\frac{5\angle Y + 5\angle Y + 2\angle Y+ 2\angle Y}{2}= 360^{\circ}$

$\frac{14\angle Y}{2}= 360^{\circ}$

Multiply both sides by $\frac{2}{14}$

$\frac{2}{14} * \frac{14\angle Y}{2}= 360^{\circ} * \frac{2}{14}$

$\angle Y= 360^{\circ} * \frac{2}{14}$

$\angle Y= \frac{ 360^{\circ} *2}{14}$

$\angle Y= \frac{720^{\circ}}{14}$

$\angle Y= 51.43 ^{\circ}$

So:

$\angle G = \angle Y = 51.43 ^{\circ}$

$\angle D = \frac{5}{2}\angle Y$

$\angle D = \frac{5}{2} * 51.43^{\circ}$

$\angle D = \frac{5* 51.43^{\circ}}{2}$

$\angle D = \frac{257.15^{\circ}}{2}$

$\angle D = 128.57 ^{\circ}$

Hence:

$\angle D = \angle R = 128.57 ^{\circ}$

Which equation can pair with 3x + 4y = 8 to create a consistent and independent system? 6x + 8y = 16 –3x – 4y = –6 6x – 3y = 2 –

pogonyaev

The right answer is C)

Consistent and independent system of two linear equations is a system such that there is only one solution for the system, that is, the two straight lines cross at a point. So we can analyze each case and I have attached some graphs to provided you with examples. Those graphs aren't about the equations but it's about general cases:

A) Consistent and dependent. If we divide this given equation by 2 we get the same line. (See Figure 1)

B) Inconsistent. No solutions. (See Figure 2)

C) Consistent and Independent. (See Figure 3)

D) Consistent and dependent.
