Answer:
Part A:
(1) x + y = 95
(2) x = y + 25
Part B:
The number of minutes Eric spends playing volleyball each day is 35 minutes
Part C:
It is not possible for Eric to have spent exactly 35 minutes playing basketball
Step-by-step explanation:
The total time Eric plays basketball and volleyball = 95 minutes
The time duration Eric plays basket ball = x
The time duration Eric plays volleyball = y
Part A:
The pair of relationships between the number of minutes Eric plays basketball (x) and the number of minutes he plays volleyball (y) are;
(1) x + y = 95
(2) x = y + 25
Part B:
By substituting the value of x in equation (2) into equation (1), we have;
x + y = (y + 25) + y = 95
2·y + 25 = 95
2·y = 95 - 25 = 70
y = 70/2 = 35 minutes
Therefore, Eric spends 35 minutes playing volleyball every day
Part C:
It is not possible for Eric to have spent only 35 minutes playing basketball because, given that he plays basketball for 25 minutes longer than he plays volley, the number of minutes he spends playing volleyball will then be given as follows;
x = y + 25
35 = y + 25
y = 35 - 25 = 10 minutes
The total time = x + y = 10 + 35 = 45 minutes ≠ 95 minutes.
Answer:
12:44, or if simplified 3:11
Step-by-step explanation:
In mathematics, a ratio indicates how many times one number contains another. For example, if there are eight oranges and six lemons in a bowl of fruit, then the ratio of oranges to lemons is eight to six (that is, 8∶6, which is equivalent to the ratio 4∶3). Similarly, the ratio of lemons to oranges is 6∶8 (or 3∶4) and the ratio of oranges to the total amount of fruit is 8∶14 (or 4∶7).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we are given a trapezoid
we want to figure out the area
remember that,
where a and b represent the parallel lines and h represents the height
we get from the pic that a and b are 5 and 15 respectively and h is 7
so substitute:
simplify addition:
simplify division:
simplify multiplication:
since we multiply two same units we of course have to use square unit
hence,
The grade of the path in the mountain is calculated by determining first the ratio between the rise over the run and multiplying the ratio by 100%.
For Path A:
grade = (rise / run) x 100%
grade = (1414/ 3535) x 100% = 40%
<em>Answer: 40%</em>
For Path B:
grade = (rise / run) x 100%
grade = (4.26 m/ 22 m) x 100% = 19.36%
Answer: 19.36%
