Mathematics

alexdok [17]3 years ago

The questions are asking about unit prices (price per 1 unit of thing)

we want to find out which is the better deal

we want to find out which price/1item is least (you want to pay as little as possible per item)

so to solve each problem, divide price by number of things to get the unit price (price per unit)


1) $25.00 for concert tickets for 2 people or $36.00 for concert tickets for 3 people.

$25 for 2 people is $25/2=$12.50/person

vs

$36 for 3 people is $36/3=$12.00/person

12<12.5 so better value is the $36 for 3 people


2) $380 for a bus for 32 people or $420 for a bus for 38 people.

$380 for 32 people is $380/32=$11.875/person

vs

$420 for 38 people is $420/38=$11.05/person

11.05<11.875

$420 for 38 people is better value


3) $4.25 for 4 liters of milk or $2.55 for 2 liters of milk.

$4.25 for 4 lieter is $4.25/4=$1.06/liter

vs

$2.55 for 2 lieter is $2.55/2=$1.27/liter

1.06<1.27 so $4.25 for 4 liter is better value


4) 35 grams of mixed nuts for $0.99 or 59 grams of mixed nuts for $1.49

$0.99 for 35 grams is $0.99/35=$0.02828/gram

vs

$1.49 for 59 grams is $1.49/59=$0.02525/gram

0.02525<0.02828 so $1.49 for 59 grams is better value


5) inline skate rentals for fat $30.00 for 4 hours or $54.00 for 7 hours.

$30 for 4hrs is $30/4=$7.50/hr

vs

$54 for 7hrs is $54/7=$7.71/hr

7.50<7.71 so $30 for 4hr is better value


6) 500 sheets of paper for $9.45 or 4500 sheets of paper for $49.00

$9.45 for 500 sheets is $9.45/500=$0.0189/sheet

vs

$49.00 for 4500 sheets is $49.00/4500=$0.0108/sheet

0.0108<0.0189 so $49.00 for 4500 is better value


7) 25 liters of gas for $21.50 or 35 liters of gas for $40.00

$21.50 for 25 liters is $21.50/25=$0.86/liter

vs

$40 for 35 liters is $40/35=$1.41/liter

0.86<1.41 so $21.50 for 25 liters is better value

12a+6b equivalent expression
patriot [66]

Answer:

6(2a+b)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

12a+6b

To find the equivalent expression of the given one, we just have to factor.

In this case, the only thing we can do to rewrite is to extract the common greatest factor, which is 6

12a+6b\\6(2a+b)

Therefore, the equivalent expression is

6(2a+b)

Michael's dad is 30 years of age. He is 2 years more than four times Michaels age m. Write and solve a two-step equation to dete
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The two step equation that we can use to find michael's age is x = (f-2)/4 where f = 30. So Michael is 7 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we will attribute variables to the ages of Michael and his father. For his father age we will attribute a variable called "f" and for Michael's age we will attribute a variable called "x". The first information that the problem gives us is that Michael's dad is 30 years of age, so we have:

f = 30

Then the problem states that the age of the father is 2 years "more" than four "times" Michaels age. The "more" implies a sum and the "times" implies a product, so we have:

f = 2 + 4*x

We can now find Michael's age, for that we need to isolate the "x" variable. We have:

f - 2 = 4*x

4*x = f - 2

x = (f-2)/4

x = (30 - 2)/4 = 7 years

The two step equation that we can use to find michael's age is x = (f-2)/4 where f = 30. So Michael is 7 years old.

Which expressions are equivalent to the one below? Check all that apply. 21^x/3^x
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

<em>options:  A,C,E </em>are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the expression equivalent to the expression:

\dfrac{21^x}{3^x}

we know that: 21^x=(3\times7)^x\\\\21^x=3^x\times7^x

Hence,

\dfrac{21^x}{3^x}=\dfrac{3^x\times7^x}{3^x}=7^x-----(1)

A)   (\dfrac{21}{3})^x= 7^x  (same as(1))

Hence, option A is correct.

B)  7 ; which is a different expression from (1)

Option B is incorrect.

C) 7^x   (Same as (1))

Option C is correct.

D) (21-3)^x=18^x   which is a different expression from (1)

Hence, option D is incorrect.

E) \dfrac{7^x\times3^x}{3^x}=7^x   ; which is same as (1)

Hence, Option E is correct.

F) 3^x  ; which is not same as expression (1)

Hence, option F is incorrect.
