Answer:

B.) 80 cans, 20 brushes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cans of paint be represented by variable <em>p</em> , and brushes by variable <em>b</em>

The first equation would be ; p + b = 100

p = 100 - b

The second equation would be;

8p + 12b = 880

Replace p in the equation by (100-b);

=8(100-b) + 12b =880

=800 - 8b +12b = 880

= subtract  800 from both sides to get;

4b = 880-800

4b = 80

divide both sides by 4 to solve for b;

b= 80/4

b = 20

If p + b = 100, then p+20 = 100

p = 100-20

p = 80

Therefore, they sold 80 cans of paint and 20 brushes

List the following objects in order from lowest inertia to highest inertia: Earth, desk, baseball, fork, house, feather,
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Feather, fork, baseball, desk, cow, tow truck, house, Earth, Sun

Step-by-step explanation:

The bigger the object, the more inertia it has, since it's harder to move a bigger object. So, since a feather is the smallest thing with the least amount mass, it should be the easiest to move, giving it the least amount of inertia. It's the opposite for the Sun, since it's the biggest object on the list.

The table shows the record monthly high and low temperatures for a city in Alaska.
Neko [114]
A. The range is equal to the highest value minus the lowest value. Since the table given in part A is already in terms of range, then there is no need for a solution. The range of temperature for each month is as it is.

B. For this question, find the largest value which would represent the all-time high. That would be on February at 95°F. The lowest value would also represent the all-time low. That would be on July at 50°F.

C. The range of part B is just the difference of the all-time high and all-time low temperatures.
Range = 95°F - 50°F = 45°F
