Answer:

Milford location has a higher ratio of hamsters to gerbils.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A pet supply chain called Pet City has 5 hamsters and 10 gerbils for sale at its Lanberry location.

At its Milford location, there are 13 hamsters and 16 gerbils.

Now, to find the location who has a higher ratio of hamsters to gerbils.

Ratio of hamsters to gerbils at Lanberry location = 5:10.

$=\frac{5}{10}=0.50$

Ratio of hamsters to gerbils at Milford location= 13:16.

$=\frac{13}{16} =0.8125$

<em>So, 0.8125 > 0.50.</em>

<em>Thus, </em><u><em>13:16 > 5:10.</em></u><em> </em>

Therefore, Milford location has a higher ratio of hamsters to gerbils.

A quadrilateral has vertices at $(0,1)$, $(3,4)$, $(4,3)$ and $(3,0)$. Its perimeter can be expressed in the form $a\sqrt2+b\sqr

seraphim [82]

Answer:

a + b = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Quadrilateral;

Vertices of (0,1), (3,4) (4,3) and (3,0)

$Perimeter = a\sqrt{2} + b\sqrt{10}$

Required

$a + b$

Let the vertices be represented with A,B,C,D such as

A = (0,1); B = (3,4); C = (4,3) and D = (3,0)

To calculate the actual perimeter, we need to first calculate the distance between the points;

Such that:

AB represents distance between point A and B

BC represents distance between point B and C

CD represents distance between point C and D

DA represents distance between point D and A

Calculating AB

Here, we consider A = (0,1); B = (3,4);

Distance is calculated as;

$Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

$(x_1,y_1) = A(0,1)$

$(x_2,y_2) = B(3,4)$

Substitute these values in the formula above

$Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{(0 - 3)^2 + (1 - 4)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{( - 3)^2 + (-3)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{9+ 9}$

$AB = \sqrt{18}$

$AB = \sqrt{9*2}$

$AB = \sqrt{9}*\sqrt{2}$

$AB = 3\sqrt{2}$

Calculating BC

Here, we consider B = (3,4); C = (4,3)

Here,

$(x_1,y_1) = B (3,4)$

$(x_2,y_2) = C(4,3)$

Substitute these values in the formula above

$Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

$BC = \sqrt{(3 - 4)^2 + (4 - 3)^2}$

$BC = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (1)^2}$

$BC = \sqrt{1 + 1}$

$BC = \sqrt{2}$

Calculating CD

Here, we consider C = (4,3); D = (3,0)

Here,

$(x_1,y_1) = C(4,3)$

$(x_2,y_2) = D (3,0)$

Substitute these values in the formula above

$Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

$CD = \sqrt{(4 - 3)^2 + (3 - 0)^2}$

$CD = \sqrt{(1)^2 + (3)^2}$

$CD = \sqrt{1 + 9}$

$CD = \sqrt{10}$

Lastly;

Calculating DA

Here, we consider C = (4,3); D = (3,0)

Here,

$(x_1,y_1) = D (3,0)$

$(x_2,y_2) = A (0,1)$

Substitute these values in the formula above

$Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

$DA = \sqrt{(3 - 0)^2 + (0 - 1)^2}$

$DA = \sqrt{(3)^2 + (- 1)^2}$

$DA = \sqrt{9 + 1}$

$DA = \sqrt{10}$

The addition of the values of distances AB, BC, CD and DA gives the perimeter of the quadrilateral

$Perimeter = 3\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{10}$

$Perimeter = 4\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{10}$

Recall that

$Perimeter = a\sqrt{2} + b\sqrt{10}$

This implies that

$a\sqrt{2} + b\sqrt{10} = 4\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{10}$

By comparison

$a\sqrt{2} = 4\sqrt{2}$

Divide both sides by $\sqrt{2}$

$a = 4$

By comparison

$b\sqrt{10} = 2\sqrt{10}$

Divide both sides by $\sqrt{10}$

$b = 2$

Hence,

a + b = 2 + 10

a + b = 12

Prince Ivan rides gray wolf and a constant speed from kings castle to the magic apple garden in five hours. on the return trip t

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The original speed of the grey wolf can be 9 and/or 48 km/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two trips. One to King Castle (KC) to Magic Apple Garden (MAG), and then back (MAG - KC).

First trip: KC - MAG

It takes the same distance as MAG - KC so distance can be D for both.

Then it is stated that it takes 5 hours or 300mins for him to go from KC - MAG, and the speed is constant.

Let x be speed.

So the equation for this is:

D=5x

Second trip: MAG - KC

Here he goes 36 mi at constant speed (x), then picks up his speed by 3 km/hour (x+3).

For Time:

He reaches to KC, 15 mins earlier than KC - MAG, so he reaches there in 4.75 hours or in 275 min.

The problem splits into two as there are two different times, for the two parts of the journey or distance for MAG - KC.

Let T#1 = a, and T#2 = b.

Let D#2 = D-36

The equation for a:

a = 36/x --> This is he is at a constant speed and went for 36mi.

Next:

The equation for b:

b = (x+3)/D#2

These two equation have to be added as (a+b) = 4.75 --> 4.75 is the total time for MAG - KC.

So the equation is:

36/x + (5x-36)/x+3 = 4.75 --> Knowing (a+b) = 4.75, just put 4.75 as the equal, and add the fractions that equal (a) and (b).

Now Solve:

36/x + (5x-36)/x+3 = 4.75

0.25s^2 + 108 + 5s^2 - 36s = 4.75s*(s+3)

0.25s^2 - 14.25s + 108 = 0

(14.25 +- Square root (203.06 - 108))/0.5

(14.25 +- Square root (95.0625))/0.5

(14.25 +- 9.75)/0.5

Answer:

s = 9, s=48.

Therefore the original speed of the grey wolf can be 9 and/or 48 km/hour.
