Hugh bought some magazines that cost $3.95 each and some books that cost $8.95 each. He spent a total of $47.65. If Hugh bought

3 magazines, how many books did he buy? The equation that models the problem is 3.95m + 8.95b = 47.65, where m is the number of magazines and b is the number of books.

He bought 4 books.  

3.95m + 8.95b = 47.65

If he bought 3 magazines, m =3
(3.95)3 +8.95b = 47.65
11.85 + 8.95b =47.65
now we subtract 11.85 from both sides
8.95b = 35.80
we divide both sides by 8.95
b=4
Hugh bought 4 books.

1. The most massive planet in the solar system, Jupiter, has a mass of about 1,898,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg. Estimate
UNO [17]

Answer:

D. 2*10^{27} kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of Jupiter is given as 1,898,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg

Estimating this to the nearest whole number would be = 2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg (rounding up the the "1,898")

To express this in scientific notation form, simply count how many zeros we have to the nearest whole number, 2.

We have 27 zeros there.

Therefore, we would multiply the whole number, 2, by 10 raise to the power of 27.

An estimate of the mass of Jupiter = 2*10^{27} kg

A tetrahedron is a triangular pyramid with 4 equilateral faces. Han has a box of tetrahedrons with each of the 4 vertices marked
Daniel [21]

Theoretically, the number of the vertex comes at the top must be equal for infinitely many numbers of trials, but it's a tedious job to roll the dice for a large number of times. Rolling the tetrahedron only 10 times will not predict the correct result.

Han suspects that this tetrahedron is weighted in some way to make 1 appear more often than the other numbers.

So, check his suspect experimentally with the help of the concept of center of mass. A fair tetrahedron must have the center of mass at the center of the body.

The given tetrahedron has 4 equilateral triangular faces, so at first, measure all the sides of triangular faces and make sure that all are having the same length.

Then, conduct an experiment to check the location of the center of mass.

Hang the tetrahedron by attaching a thin string at the vertex 1 as shown in the figure and observe the base surface ( triangle 234) whether it is parallel to the ground or not.

Now, repeat the same by hanging it with vertices 2, 3, and 4 and observe the base surface.

For the center of mass to be located at the center of the tetrahedron, the base must be parallel to the ground (flat ground).i.e the hanging string must be perpendicular to the base for all the four cases.

If this is so, then the tetrahedron is a fair tetrahedron otherwise not.

A concert hall has three sections: the main floor, the balcony, and the gallery. For a recent concert, 1020 tickets were sold. T
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Let the number of balcony seats be b

Let the number of gallery tickets be g

Let the number of main floor tickets be m

b + g + m  = 1020

b = 2g

m = b + 225

The number of balcony tickets = 318

The number of gallery tickets = 159

The number of main floor tickets = 543

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of balcony seats be b

Let the number of gallery tickets be g

Let the number of main floor tickets be m

i) Therefore we can write b + g + m  = 1020

ii) there were twice as many balcony tickets sold as gallery tickets

   therefore b = 2g      \Rightarrow  g = 0.5b

iii) there were 225 more main floor tickets than balcony tickets

   therefore m = b + 225

iv) using equation ii) and equation iii) in equation i) we can write

     b + g  + m = b + 0.5b + b + 225  = 1020      \Rightarrow 2.5b  = 795     \Rightarrow  b = 318

v) g  = 0.5 b  = 0.5 \times 318 = 159

vi) m = b + 225 = 318 + 225 = 543
