Answer:

a. \frac{4a}{15}

b. $225

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Mr. Scruggs got money for his birthday be 'a'

He spent \frac{1}{5} of it on dog treats = a × \frac{1}{5}

                                                                      = \frac{1}{5}a

remainder amount would be = a - \frac{1}{5}a

                                                = \frac{4a}{5}

Then he divided the remainder money equally among 3 favorite charities.

\frac{\frac{4a}{5}}{3}

= \frac{4a}{15}

a. Each charity receive \frac{4a}{15}

b. If he donated $60 to each charity.

\frac{4a}{15}=60

a=\frac{15\times 60}{4}

a = $225

Mr. Scruggs received $225 for his birthday.

Use p = 2 and p = 8 to determine if the two expressions are equivalent. 4(2 + p) 14 + p Complete the statements.
Maru [420]

Answer:

The expressions are not equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have two expressions:

4*(2 + p)

14 + p

We want to evaluate these two expressions in two different values of p to check if the expressions are equivalent or not.

First, we evaluate both of them in p = 2, this is just replace p by 2 in each expression and then solve it.

4*(2 + 2) = 4*4 = 16

14 + 2 = 16

In this case, we can see that both expressions yield the same number, so we could think that the expressions are equivalent, now let's try with other value of p.

Now let's do it with p = 8

4*(2 + 8) = 4*10 = 40

14 + 8 = 22

Now we can see that the results are different, then we can conclude that the expressions are not equivalent.

The length of the garden bed is 6 feet

<h3>The volume of a rectangular prism</h3>

The formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular prism is expressed as:

V = lwh

If turner and his grandfather used 18 bags of topsoil, each containing 3/4 of a cubic foot, to fill the bed completely, hence;

V = 3/4 * 18

V = 13.5 cubic foot

In order to determine the length of the garden;

135/10 = 9/2 * 1/2l

27/2 =9/4 l

18l = 27 * 4

18l = 108

l = 6 feet

Hence the length of the garden bed is 6 feet

Leyla drops a penny from a height of 150 m. How long will it take the penny to hit the ground? Use the formula h(t)=−4.9t^2+vt+h
torisob [31]
To determine the time it  takes for the penny to reach the ground, we use the relation of height and time given above. We do  as follows:
<span>
0 =−4.9t^2+(0)t+150
t = sqrt( 150/4.9)
t = 5.53 s

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
