Answer:

Catherine's sister ate 2/15 gallons of the ice cream.

\displaystyle \frac{2}{15}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of ice cream that Catherine's sister ate, in gallons.

  • Original amount: 1 gallon.
  • What Catherine ate: \displaystyle \frac{1}{5} gallons.
  • What Catherine's sister ate is assumed to be x gallons.
  • What's left: \displaystyle \frac{2}{3} gallons.

Consider the relationship:

\text{Original amount - What Catherine ate - What Catherine's Sister ate}\\ =\text{ What's left.}.

That is:

\displaystyle 1- \frac{1}{5} - x = \frac{2}{3}.

Add x to both sides of this equation:

\displaystyle 1 - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{2}{3} +x

Substract \displaystyle \frac{2}{3} from both sides:

\displaystyle 1 - \frac{1}{5} - \frac{2}{3} = x.

Convert the denominator of all three numbers on the left-hand side to 3 \times 5 = 15

\displaystyle \frac{15}{15} - \frac{3}{15} - \frac{10}{15} = x.

\displaystyle x = \frac{2}{15}.

In other words, Catherine's sister ate \displaystyle \frac{2}{15} gallons of the ice cream.

To solve this, we need to add the 1/5 of the ice cream to the 2/3 left of ice cream to find out how much her sister ate.

First, we need a common denominator. We can multiply 3 by 5 to get a common denominator easiest, since they are both multiples of it.

3*5=15

Now multiply the numerators by the amount the denominators were multiplied by.

1*3=3 so 3/15

2*5=10 so 10/15

Now, add them together.

10/15+3/15= 13/15.

Finally, subtract that amount from the original full amount of ice cream (15/15) to get the amount her sister ate, since that is the only unknown value left.

15/15-13/15=2/15.

Because 15 isn’t divisible by 2, we can’t simplify this fraction anymore.

Her sister ate 2/15 of a gallon of ice cream.

Hope this helps!

Sarawong's school is selling tickets to the annual talent show. On the first day of ticket sales the
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Price of the adult ticket is $13

Price of the child ticket is $3

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets x be the adult ticket and y be the child ticket.

Given:

School sold 14 adult tickets and 14 child tickets for a total of $224, so the first equation is.

14x+14y=224-------------(1)

And the school took in $44 on the  second day by selling 2 adult tickets and 6 child tickets, so the second equation is.

2x+6y=44---------------(2)

We find the price of an adult ticket and the  price of a child ticket by solving above system of equation.

Now, equation 2 multiplied by 7.

7(2x+6y=44)

14x+42y=308---------(3)

Now, equation 1 subtracted by equation 3.

14x+42y=308

14x+14y=224

-______________

14x is cancelled in both equations, so we get the equation.

28y=84

y=\frac{84}{28}

y = 3

Now, we substitute y = 3 in equation 2.

2x+6(3)=44

2x+18=44

2x=44-18

2x=26

x=\frac{26}{2}

x = 13

Therefore, the price of the adult ticket is $13 and the price of the child ticket is $3.

What is perpendicular bisector? * When a ray cuts an angle in half exactly When a line, ray or segment cuts another segment in h
algol [13]

When a segment is cut exactly in half at the midpoint at a 90 degree angle. then it is called a perpendicular bisector.

Perpendicular bisector from its name suggest a line that is perpendicular to another line and that also bisects the other line.

A perpendicular bisector is a line which cuts another line in two equal haves forming an angle of 90° with the line.

If any of these features are not there, then it is not a perpendicular bisector.

Therefore, when a segment is cut exactly in half at the midpoint at a 90 degree angle. then it is called a perpendicular bisector.

Please help! i put 50 so youll get 25. attachment is posted down below
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Choice A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the vertical line test.

If a vertical line intersects 2 or more points on the graph, the relation is not a function.

If all vertical lines intersect at most 1 point on the graph, the relation is a function.

Any vertical line in Choice A. intersects 1 single point. Choice A. is a function.

There are vertical lines that would intersect 2 points of the graph in Choices B., C., and D., so they are not functions.
