Answer: The answer is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that there are a total of 60 students who signed up for hockey, where there were 3 boys for every 1 girl who signed up. We are to find the number of girls who signed up.

The ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls will be 3 : 1.

Let '3x' and 'x' be the number of boys and number of girls respectively who signed up.

Therefore, we have

3x+x=60\\\\\Rightarrow 4x=60\\\\\Rightarrow x=15.

Thus, the number of girls is 15.

Answer:

A=152

K= -Ln(0.5)/14

Step-by-step explanation:

You can obtain two equations with the given information:

T(14 minutes) = 114◦C

T(28 minutes)=152◦C

Therefore, you have to replace t=14, T=114 and t=28, T=152 in the given equation:

114=190-Ae^{-14k} (I) \\152=190-Ae^{-28k}(II)

Applying the following property of exponentials numbers in (II):

e^{a}.e^{b}=e^{a+b}

Therefore e^{-28k} can be written as e^{-14k}.e^{-14k}

152=190-Ae^{-14k}.e^{14k}

Replacing (I) in the previous equation:

152=190-76e^{-14k}

Solving for k:

Subtracting 190 both sides, dividing by -76:

0.5=e^{-14k}

Applying the base e logarithm both sides:

Ln(0.5)= -14k

Dividing by -14:

k= -Ln(0.5)/14

Replacing k in (I) and solving for A:

Ae^{-14(-Ln(0.5)/14)}=76\\Ae^{Ln(0.5)} =76\\A(0.5)=76

Dividing by 0.5

A=152

Shelly biked 21 miles in 4 hours. What is Shelly's average speed in miles per hour? At that same rate how many hours will it tak
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

So, we need to do the distance she travelled (21 miles) divided by the rate at which she travelled (4 hours). Therefore, because 21 divided by 4 is 5.25, she biked at a speed of 5.25 mph (Miles per hour). So, if she bikes 5.25 miles every hour we can divide 42 by 5.25 to get the time it would take her to travel 42 miles. Now, 42 divided by 5.25 equals 8, so that means for Shelly to bike 42 miles at her average speed of 5.25 mph, it would take her 8 hours.

Answer Part A and Part B for the triangle shown
Tom [10]

Answer:

for Part A

Answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

\tan(a)  =  \frac{opposite}{adjacent }  \\

Here the angle, a is 60°, Opposite is 20 and adjacent is x.

Therefore we have,

\tan(60 )  =  \frac{20}{x}

Making x the subject gives us

x =  \frac{20}{ \tan(60) }

Part B

Value of x to the nearest tenth

x = 11.547 \\ to \: the \: nearest \: tenth \\ x = 12
