George buys some first class and second class stamps to put on some letters. Each first class stamp costs 67p, and each second c

lass stamp costs 58p. The ratio of first to second class stamps is 1:4. George bought 320 stamps. How much did George pay for all the stamps?

Answer:

£191.36

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the parts of the ratio, 1 + 4 = 5 parts

Divide 320 by 5 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

320 ÷ 5 = 64 ← value of 1 part of the ratio , thus

4 parts = 4 × 64 = 256

Thus he bought 64 first class and 256 second class.

Cost = (64 × £0.67) + (256 × £0.58)

= £42.88 + 148.48

= £191.36

Solve 4^x+2 = 12 for x using the change of base formula log base b of y equals log y over log b.

valentinak56 [21]

The value of x is 1.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Let use revise the rules of exponential and logarithmic equations

1. If y = $b^{x}$ , then $log_{b}(y)=x$

2. $log_{b}(y) = \frac{log(y)}{log(b)}$

Use the rules above to solve the problem

∵ $4^{x}+2=12$

- Subtract 2 from both sides

∴ $4^{x}=10$

change the exponential equation to logarithmic equation

∴ $log_{4}(10)=x$

∵ $log_{4}(10) = \frac{log(10)}{log(4)}$

∴ x = $\frac{log(10)}{log(4)}$

∴ x = 1.66

The value of x is 1.66

What is the perimeter of the triangle shown on the coordinate plane,to the nearest tenth of a unit ?

ollegr [7]

Answer:

25.6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure we can infer that our triangle has vertices A = (-5, 4), B = (1, 4), and C = (3, -4).

First thing we are doing is find the lengths of AB, BC, and AC using the distance formula:

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

where

$(x_1,y_1)$ are the coordinates of the first point

$(x_2,y_2)$ are the coordinates of the second point

- For AB:

$d=\sqrt{[1-(-5)]^{2}+(4-4)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(1+5)^{2}+(0)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(6)^{2}}$

$d=6$

- For BC:

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

$d=\sqrt{(2)^{2} +(-8)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{4+64}$

$d=\sqrt{68}$

$d=8.24$

- For AC:

$d=\sqrt{[3-(-5)]^{2} +(-4-4)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(3+5)^{2} +(-8)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(8)^{2} +64}$

$d=\sqrt{64+64}$

$d=\sqrt{128}$

$d=11.31$

Next, now that we have our lengths, we can add them to find the perimeter of our triangle:

$p=AB+BC+AC$

$p=6+8.24+11.31$

$p=25.55$

$p=25.6$

We can conclude that the perimeter of the triangle shown in the figure is 25.6 units.

The scale on a drawing is 1 mm = 3 m. How many meters does 2 centimeters represent?

suter [353]

There are 10 millimeters in 1 centimeter. from that, we can calculate that one centimeter is equivalent to 30 meters. We are trying to find how many meters are in two centimeters so we multiply 30 meters by 2 and get the final answer of 60 meters.

2 Centimeters = 60 Meters

I hope this helped, Don't forget to rate me up it really helps.

Have a Great Day :)

Solve the inequality for 1>x+6 .

Komok [63]

Answer:

-5 > x

Explanation:

To do this, you have to use the inverse operations. Subtract 6 from each side. That equals -5. Bring everything down and that is your answer!
