The answer would be C) The volume is the same in both cylinders
Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55
We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55
We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
2y-20y=13.50-70.2
-18y=-56.7
y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars
Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
x+5*3.15=17.55
x+15.75=17.55
x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels
Problem 4.
Let w = number of wood bats sold
Let m = number of metal bats sold
From sales information we have: w + m = 23
24w+30m=606
Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second.
24*(23-m)+30m=606
552-24m+30m=606
6m=54
m=9 = number of metal bats sold
Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.
Answer: $70.50
Step-by-step explanation:
30npm x 125m = 3750 nails total
3750/40 = 93.75, meaning you will need 94 boxes to complete the fence
94x0.75= $70.50
5. You have correctly shown the decimal equivalents of the numbers in selection C. Those are in order. The decimal equivalents for selection D would be
... -1.33, -2.00, -1.00, -0.08, -0.07
The first of these is greater than the second of these, so this list is not in order. The correct choice is D.
6. √169 = 13, the only rational number in the lot. The correct choice is C.
8. All the numbers except the ones with radicals are rational numbers, so the appropriate choice is the one that lists the radicals only: G.
9. You have correctly plotted the points. When you connect them to make a geometric figure, you get a triangle that is 6 units high and 6 units wide. Its area will be half that of a square that is 6×6, so is 18 square units.
_____
The formula for the area of a triangle is
... A = (1/2)bh
where b is the base length of the triangle (6 units), and h is the height (6 units). Filling in the numbers you have, this is
... A = (1/2)·6·6 = 18 . . . . square units.
When you have a plot like this on a graph, it is usually pretty easy to see that the triangle area is half the area of a rectangle (or square) with the same height and width.
