Answer=7:13

Kenny's Weight*6/7=Melvin's Weight

So, for example, if Melvin's weigh was 7...

Kenny's Weight*6/7=7
divide both sides by 6/7
Kenny Weight=6

So we can say that Melvin's weight to Kenny's weight is 7:6

The boys total weights would be...
7+6=13


So Melvin's weight over the total weight of the two boys is:

7:13

Answer:

\frac{7}{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> Melvin's weight

y------> Kenny's weight

we know that

y=\frac{6}{7}x

x+y=x+\frac{6}{7}x=\frac{13}{7}x -----> total weight of the two boys

Find the ratio of Melvin's weight to the total weight of the two boys

ratio=\frac{x}{(\frac{13}{7}x)} =\frac{7}{13}

What is the 52nd term of the sequence below?
VladimirAG [237]
Because the difference between any term and the previous term is a constant, this is an arithmetic sequence because of that constant which is referred to as the common difference, d.  Which in this case is -35--38=-32--35=3

Any arithmetic sequence can be expressed as:

a(n)=a+d(n-1), a=initial term, d=common difference, n=term number.

In this case a=-38 and d=3 so

a(n)=-38+3(n-1)  which we can simplify to

a(n)=-38+3n-3

a(n)=3n-41, so the 52nd term is:

a(52)=3(52)-41

a(52)=156-41

a(52)=115

Answer:

1. her elevation at noon was 3 meters

2. (-2, 7)

3. (1, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. when x = 0, it is noon, y = 3 when x is 7

2. when x = -2 it is 10 am because when x is 0, it is noon, or 12 pm, her elevation is 7 meters above sea level

3. when x is 1, it is 1 pm, and her elevation is 0 meters

X+y=5<br> x×y=6<br> Solve simultaneously with steps
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

(3, 2), (2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 5

xy = 6

Solve the first equation for x.

x = 5 - y

Substitute 5 - y for x in the second equation.

xy = 6

(5 - y)y = 6

5y - y² = 6

y² - 5y + 6 = 0

Factor.

(y - 2)(y - 3) = 0

y - 2 = 0  or y - 3 = 0

y = 2  or y = 3

Now substitute 2 for y in the first equation and solve for x.

x + y = 5

x + 2 = 5

x = 3

One solution is x = 3; y = 2, or (3, 2).

Now substitute 3 for y in the first equation and solve for x.

x + y = 5

x + 3 = 5

x = 2

Another solution is x = 2; y = 3, or (3, 2).

Answer: (3, 2), (2, 3)

What is the rate of interest on a loan of $2,000, for 284 days, if the amount of interest is $93.37, using the exact interest me
Viefleur [7K]

Answer: Option (c) is correct. Rate of interest = 6% p.a.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

principal amount = $2000(loan)

time period =  284 days

interest amount (SI) = $93.37

we have to calculate the rate of interest (i),

Simple interest(SI) = principal amount × rate of interest (i) × time period

93.37 = 2000 × i × \frac{284}{365}

i = \frac{34080.05}{568000}

i = 0.06

i = 6%
