27=2J+B

you can guess and check: 27=2(9)+9

J=jay

B=blair

We can solve this using the equation 2x+x=27. The 2x represents Jay, and the x represents Blair. We can simplify the equation to 3x=27. 27/3=9. Blair caught 9 fish, and Jay caught 18 fish. I hope this helps!

An hourglass consists of two sets of congruent composite figures on either end. Each composite figure is made up of a cone and a
belka [17]
Answer: third option 268.8

Explanation:

For this kind of proble it is very important that you attach the figure because it contains important information to understand the question.

I have attached the figure for better understanding.

1) The top portion (and the bottom is congruent but rotated 180°) of the hourglass is a figure equivalent to a cylinder on top and a cone on bottom.

So the total volume contained in the top portion is the volume of a cylinder + the volume of a cone.

This is how you calculate the volume of the top portion:

1) The height of the cylinder is 54 mm - 18 mm = 36 mm

2) The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = π (radius)^2 * height

radius = 8 mm
height = 36 mm

=> V = π(8mm)^2 * 36 mm = 2304π (mm)^3

3) The formula for the volume of a cone is V = (1/3)π(radius)^2 * height

radius = 8 mm
height = 18 mm

V = (1/3)π(8mm)^2 * 18 mm = 384π (mm)^3

4) The total volume of the top portion is volumen of the cylindrical part + voume of the cone:

Total voluem = 2304π (mm)^3 + 384π (mm)^3 = 2688π (mm)^3

5) To find the number of seconds <span>it take until all of the sand has dripped to the bottom of the hourglass you have to divide the total volumen of sand by the rate:

time in seconds = total volume of sand / rate of dripping

time in seconds = [2688 π (mm)^3 ] / [10π (mm)^3 / s] = 268.8 s

That is the answer: 268.8 s

Formulate the situation as a system of inequalities. (Let x represent the number of dinghies the company can manufacture and y r
kirill [66]

Answer:

x (smallest to largest) = 0,45 ,55

y (smallest to largest) = 0,10,40

Step-by-step explanation:

(hours)        Dinghy Rowboat        Labor Available

Metal Work 2             3                       120

Painting         2              2                        110

Let x represent the number of dinghies the company can manufacture and y represent the number of rowboats.

So, total hours for metal work = 2x+3y

So, total hours for Painting = 2x+2y

So, equation becomes:

2x+3y\leq 120

2x+2y\leq 110

x\geq 0

y\geq 0

Plot the inequalities

Refer the attached figure

So, the vertices of the feasible region are (0,40),(45,10) and (55,0)

So, x values are 0 , 45 and 55

x represents the number of dinghies

So, x (smallest to largest) = 0,45 ,55

y values are 40,10,0

y represent the number of rowboats.

So, y (smallest to largest) = 0,10,40
