135•3=405
That's how much money she needs to make a day
2430/405= 6

Answer:

6 be the number of days Bernice need to sell sea shells to earn 2430 dollars .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Bernice sells 135 sea shells by the sea shore every day.

She sells each sea shell for 3 dollars.

Total amount of money Bernice earns by selling sea shells in a day = Total number of sea shells sell in a day × Cost of each sea shell

Putting the values in the above

Total amount of money Bernice earns by selling sea shells in a day = 135 × 3

Total amount of money Bernice earns by selling sea shells in a day = $405

As given

Bernice need to sell sea shells to earn 2430 dollars.

Let us assume that the number of days Bernice need to sell sea shells to earn 2430 dollars be x.

Than the equation becomes

405 × x = 2430

405x = 2430

$x = \frac{2430}{405}$

x = 6

Therefore the 6 be the number of days Bernice need to sell sea shells to earn 2430 dollars .

A rectangle has a perimeter of 165.4 kilometers and a height of 20 kilometers. What is the length of the base?

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: Follow the Steps Below.

Step-by-step explanation: Simply divide the area of the rectangle by its height to find its base. Other forms of solving for the base can be accomplished knowing diagonal length by simply taking the square root of the diagonal length squared minus its height squared.

An electronics company produces transistors, resistors, and computer chips. Each transistor requires 3 units of copper, 1 unit

padilas [110]

Answer:

An electronics company can be produce 350 transistors and 340 computer chips, they can´t produce resistors.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We will name the variables for transistors, resistors and the computer chips.

a = Transistors

b= Resistors

c = Computer chips

2. We propose three linear equations, one for the copper, one for the zinc and one for the glass.

$\left \{ {{3a+3b+2c=1730} \atop {a+2b+c=690}}\atop {2a+b+2c=1380}} \right.$

3. We write the matrix form as Ax=d

$A=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}3&3&2\\1&2&1\\2&1&2\end{array}\right)$

$x=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}a\\b\\c\end{array}\right)$

$A=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}1730\\690\\1380\end{array}\right)$

With this formula the solution of x is $x=\frac{d}{A}$ or $x=A^{-1}d$

4. We will find the inverse matrix $A^{-1}$ using the formula:

$A^{-1} = \frac{1}{detA} (C_{A})^{T}$

a. det A

$det A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&3&2\\1&2&1\\2&1&2\end{array}\right] =3*(4-1)-3*(2-2)+2*(1-4)=9-0-6=3$

b. $(C_{A})^{T}$

$C_{A}=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}4-1&.(2-2)&1-4\\-(6-2)&6-4&-(3-6)\\3-4&-(3-2)&6-3\end{array}\right)$

$C_{A}=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}3&.0&-3\\-4&2&3\\-1&-1&3\end{array}\right)$

$(C_{A}) ^T=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}3&0&-3\\-4&2&3\\-1&-1&3\end{array}\right)^T$

$(C_{A}) ^T=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}3&-4&-1\\0&2&-1\\-3&3&3\end{array}\right)$

c. $A^{-1}$

$A^{-1}=\frac{1}{3} \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3&-4&-1\\0&2&-1\\-3&3&3\end{array}\right)$

5. As $x=\frac{d}{A}$ or $x=A^{-1}d$ , the solution of x is:

$x=\frac{1}{3}\left(\begin{array}{ccc}3&-4&-1\\0&2&-1\\-3&3&3\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{ccc}1730\\690\\1380\end{array}\right)$

$x=\frac{1}{3}\left(\begin{array}{ccc}(3*1730)+(-4*690)+(-1*1380)\\(0*1730)+(2*690)+(-1*1380)\\(-3*1730)+(3*690)+(3*1380)\end{array}\right)$

$x=\frac{1}{3}\left(\begin{array}{ccc}1050\\0\\1020)\end{array}\right)$

$X=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}350\\0\\340\end{array}\right]$

<u><em>Therefore:</em></u>

<u><em>a= 350 Transistors</em></u>

<u><em>b=0 Resistors</em></u>

<u><em>c=340 Computer chips</em></u>

What is 380.5 rounded to the nearest whole number

Lisa [10]

Answer:

It will be 381. You round up if it is five and over, and round down if 5 and below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A decimal cannot be a whole number so rounding to the nearest whole number means getting rid of the decimal. You do this by rounding up if it 5 and up, and rounding down if it is 5 and below. 380.5 means you would round up to 381. If it it were 380.4, you would round down to 380.
