The ratio of two numbers is 8:7. The product of these numbers is 896. What is the smaller of these two
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

  28

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the smaller of the two factors of 896 that have the ratio 8:7.

<h3>Setup</h3>

Let x represent the smaller of the two factors (the one we want to find). Then the larger factor is (8/7)x, and their product is ...

  x(8/7)x = 896

  (8/7)x² = 896

<h3>Solution</h3>

Multiplying by the inverse of the coefficient of x², we have ...

  x² = (7/8)(896) = 784

  x = √784 = 28 . . . . . . . . take square root

The smaller of the two numbers is 28.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The larger is (8/7)(28) = 32.

Use the order of operations to find the value of the following expression.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
10² - 2 (8) + 11 . Use PEMDAS, which is the order of operation to follow:

P = parenthesis  → 10² - 2x8 +11
E = exponent     → 100 - 2x8 +11
M = Multiplication → 100 -16 +11
D = Division         → NO DIVISION
A = Addition        → 111 -16
S = Subtraction  →  95 (answer 3)

Apply the same logic for the 2nd exercice and you will find 26 (I don't see the 26 in your answer but I am sure it's 26)

PLEASE HELP ME :) I DID THIS PROBLEM 7 TIMES AND ITS STILL WRONG PLEASE
fiasKO [112]

Answer: $95450

Step-by-step explanation:

We obviously want to look in the 3rd column.

Income that can be taxed is within interval for 33%, so (0.33)(315000) = $103950.

Subtract the tax credit, and we get $103950 - $8500 = $95450.

A plane flew for 5 hours heading west and for 4 hours heading south. If the total distance traveled was 3,444 miles, and the pla
Ganezh [65]

Answer:400 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w = speed at which the plane travelled west

Let s = speed at which the plane travelled south

Distance moved in 5 hrs heading west = 5*w = 5w

Distance moved in 4 hrs heading south = 4*s = 4s

Total distance, 3444= 5w + 4s

w = s + 39( 39 miles/hr faster)

5(s+39) + 4s = 3444

5s + 195 + 4s = 3444

9s = 3249

s = 361 miles per hour

w = s + 39 = 361 +39

= 400 miles per hour
