Answer:

The weights of each cylinder and prism are 3 and 4 ounces, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be x and y the masses of a cylinder and a prism, measured in ounces, respectively. After a careful reading of the statement we get the following linear equations by interpretation:

i) <em>She found that 4 cylinders and 5 prisms weigh 32 ounces:</em>

4\cdot x +5\cdot y = 32\,oz (Eq. 1)

ii) <em>And that 1 cylinder and 8 prisms weigh 35 ounces:</em>

x + 8\cdot y = 35\,oz (Eq. 2)

Now we solve the system of linear equations algebraically:

From (Eq. 2):

x = 35 - 8\cdot y

(Eq. 2) is (Eq. 1):

4\cdot (35-8\cdot y) + 5\cdot y = 32

140-32\cdot y +5\cdot y = 32

32\cdot y - 5\cdot y = 140-32

27\cdot y = 108

y = 4\,oz

From (Eq. 2):

x = 35 - 8\cdot (4)

x = 35 - 32

x = 3\,oz

The weights of each cylinder and prism are 3 and 4 ounces, respectively.

Find the value of x ?<br><br> A)67<br><br> B)113<br><br> C)77<br><br> D)57
lana [24]

Answer:

<h2>A) 67</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles measures at one side of the parallelogram is 180°.

Therefore we have the equation:

x + 113 = 180             <em>subtract 113 from both sides</em>

x + 113 - 113 = 180 - 113

x = 67

nignag [31]
For this case we have the following conversions:
 1 mile = 1,609 km&#10;&#10;1 mile = 5,280 feet
 We must apply the conversions to move from kilometers to feet.
 We have then:
 (3.2) * (1 / 1,609) * (5280) = 10500.93226&#10;
 Rounding off we have:
 10501 feet
 Answer:
 
there are 10501 feet in 3.2 km
