Answer: The required number of boys in the class is 18.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that in math class, the girl to boy ratio is 8 to 6 and there are 24 girls in the class.

We are to find the number of boys in the class.

Let 8x and 6x represents the number of girls and boys in the class.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$8x=24\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{24}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow x=3.$

Therefore, the number of boys in the class is given by

$6x=6\times3=18.$

Thus, the required number of boys in the class is 18.

Seed costs for a farmer are $40 per acre for corn and $32 per acre for soybeans. How many acres of each crop should the farmer p

Natalija [7]

Answer:

$40x+32y\leq 5,000\\x\geq 0, y\geq 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of acre of corn planted =x

Let the number of acre of soybeans planted =y

Seed costs for a farmer are $40 per acre for corn and $32 per acre for soybeans.

Seed Cost for x acre of corn = $40x
Seed Cost for y acre of soybeans = $32y

The farmer wants to spend no more than $5,000 on seed.

Therefore the linear inequality is:

$40x+32y\leq 5,000\\x\geq 0, y\geq 0$

Next, we graph the inequality

$When$ x=0, y\leq156.25\\When$ y=0, x \leq 125$

The graph is attached below.

Andy will spend 12$ in wire.

We know this because he wants 25 ft of wire and there are 300 inches in 25ft

In the chart it says 150 inches is 6$ so if we multiply that by 2 we get the price for 300 inches which is 12$

Hope this helps :) comment if you need anymore help!

Find the 10th partial sum of the arithmetic sequence defined by

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

If you expand the series, you can see the first few terms of the series:

Putting 1 in $n$ , $\frac{1}{2}(1)-\frac{1}{2}=0$
Putting 2 in $n$ , $\frac{1}{2}(2)-\frac{1}{2}=0.5$
Putting 3 in $n$ , $\frac{1}{2}(3)-\frac{1}{2}=1$
Putting 4 in $n$ , $\frac{1}{2}(4)-\frac{1}{2}=1.5$

We can see the series is 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, ....

This is an arithmetic series with common difference (the difference in 2 terms) 0.5 and first term 0.

We know formula for sum of arithmetic series:

$s_{n}=\frac{n}{2}(2a+(n-1)d)$

Where,

$S_{n}$ denotes the nth partial sum
$a$ is the first term (in our case it is 0)
$n$ is the term (in our case it is 10 since we want to find 10th partial sum -- sum until first 10 terms)
$d$ is the common difference (difference in term and the previous term) (in our case it is 0.5)
