Answer:

a) 280

b) 244

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

One hundred mice are currently infected with the virus and 900 are okay, so next week we should have 30% of 900 = 270 new infected mice and 90% of 100 = 90 recovered mice for a total of 370 - 90 = 280 infected mice.

b)

The following week we should have 30% of 1000 - 280 = 30% of 720 = 216 new infected mice and 90% of 280 = 252 recovered mice for a total of 280 + 216 - 252 = 244 infected mice.

Answer:

a)  and e)

Step-by-step explanation:

7 * 1/2 = 3.5

3.5 / 2 = 1.75

? = 1.75

a) 2 * 1.75 = 7 * 1/2 (correct!)

b) 7 * 1/2 * 1.75 = 2 (wrong!)

c) 2 * 7 * 1/2 = 1.75 (wrong!)

d) 1.75 * 7 * 1/2 = 2 (wrong! this is the b) backwards)

e) 1.75 * 2 = 7 * 1/2 (correct! this is the a) backwards)

The length of a rectangular field is 3 more than twice the width. the farmer would like to divide the field into four equal encl
nika2105 [10]
Assume w is the width. the length is 3*2w
To fence the whole outside of farm, he needs:
2(w+6w)=14w meters
Also he needs one width and one length for the enclosed pens. Therefore, the total amount of fencing he would need:
14w+w+6w=21w meters

Which postulate proves the two
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

D. none

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure shows two triangles. We see a right angle in each triangle. All right angles are congruent. One angle of one triangle is congruent to one angle of the other triangle. We are not given any other information about congruent sides or other congruent angles. Therefore, there is not enough information to prove the triangles are congruent.

Answer: none

HELP ME PLEASE! I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST LOTS OF POINTS

Number the tables as follows:

1  2
3  4

Eliminate 3 and 4 immediately, because for x = 2 the y values are wrong (3 and 1).

In tables 1 and 2, the input (1) produces the correct output (-1).

So we have to determine which table agrees 100% with the system of equations given.

Comparing tables 1 and 2, row by row, we see that their contents are the same EXCEPT for the first rows.  So focus on determing which of those 2 rows displays values that satisfy both given equations.

First I looked at y=2x-5, and subst. -1 for x.  I got -7, which is correct in table 1 but not in table 2 (where the value would be -13).

Thus, table 1 correct represents the solution of the system of equations.
