Answer:

$1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Amy, Beth and Catherine bought the same amount of apples.

let s say this is x

Amy has x amount of apples

Beth has x amount of apples

Catherine has x amount of apples

Catherine gave same amount of apples to Amy and Beth

let s say this is y

Amy has x + y amount of apples

Beth has x + y amount of apples

Catherine has x - 2y amount of apples

Catherine has 15 less than Amy so x-2y=x+y-15

Catherine has 15 less than Beth so x-2y=x+y-15

so finally, it comes x-2y=x+y-15

so 3y=15 and then y =5

Catherine gave 5 lb to Amy and 5lb to Beth

Catherine receives $12.5 from both of them

it means that 10lb costs $12.5 so the price for each lb is $1.25

thanks

Explain to someone who missed class today what scientific notation is and the difference between 3^8 and
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Scientific notation is basically a short cut to write numbers with a lot of zeros in them. The difference between 3^8 and 3*10^8 is that the first is 3 multiplied by itself 8 times, and the second is 3 being mulitplied by 10^8. I hope this helps.

A=3B
4.35A+5.40B=780.95
Substitute 3B into A for the second equation:
4.35(3B)+5.40B=780.90
13.05B+5.40B=780.90
18.45B=780.90
B=42.33
Plug into equation 1:
A=3B
A=3(42.33)
A=126.98

A ship at sea, the Gladstone, spots two other ships, the Norman and the Voyager, and measures the angle between them to be 48°.
ratelena [41]

Answer:

=3501 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

The three ships form a triangle.  From the Voyager the angle between the Norman and the Gladstone=180-(55+48)=77°

Let the position of the Voyager be V that of Norman be N and that of the Gladstone be G

Then, the distance between Norman and voyager is g

g/sin G=v/ Sin V

4590/Sin 77=g/Sin 48

g=(4590 Sin 48)/Sin 77

=3500.8 yards

The distance between the Norman and the voyager= 3501 yards.
