I believe it is the ratio 3 : 1.

<u>18 students chose the turkey sandwich</u>.

Since the class has a total of 24 students, we can deduce that <u>6 students chose the vegetarian sandwich</u>.

This gives us a ratio of 18 : 6.

When simplified, we get a ratio of 3 : 1.

Jenny has saved $3,800 over the last 12 months. She saved either $250 or $350 a month. During the 12 month period, how many time

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Jenny save 4 times $\$ 250$ for the month

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Jenny has saved $\$3,800$ over the last 12 months.

She saved either $\$250$ or $\$350$ a month.

Let the number of months to save $\$250$ be x

Let the number of months to save $\$350$ be y

Total period is 12 month.

$x+y=12 \ \ \ \ equation\ 1$

Jenny has saved $3,800 over the last 12 months.

$250x+350y=3800$

Dividing both side from 50 we get,

$\frac{250}{50}x+\frac{350}{50}y= \frac{3800}{50}$

$5x+7y=76 \ \ \ \ equation\ 2$

Now Multiplying equation 1 by 5 we get,

$5\times(x+y)=5\times 12\\5x+5y=60\ \ \ \ equation \ 3$

Now Subtracting Equation 3 by equation 2 we get,

$(5x+7y=76)-(5x+5y=60)\\2y=16\\y=\frac{16}{2}= 8$

Substituting the value of y in equation 1 we get,

$x+y=12\\x+8=12\\x=12-8\\x=4$

∴ Jenny save 4 Months of $\$ 250$ and 8 Months of $\$ 350$ in a 12 month duration

How do you do number 1?

Alla [95]

Answer:

The decimal is not a rational number.

REASON:

A decimal can be a rational number if it fulfills any of the two conditions.

Condition 1:

It must be Terminating. This means that the decimal should have finite number of digits.

Condition 2:

If it is non-terminating decimal it should be Recurring. This means the decimal should repeat itself after some specific digits.

Pls Help! 100 Points!!!<br> Show all work to factor x^4 − 5x^2 + 4 completely.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

$(x+2)(x-2)(x+1)(x-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to factor the expression $x^4-5x^2+4$ .

First, notice that this is in quadratic form. In other words, both the exponents have even power.

Therefore, we can make a substitution to simplify the expression.

So, let’s let $u=x^2$ .

Our expression is the same as:

$(x^2)^2-5(x^2)+4$

Substitute:

$u^2-5u+4$

Now, we can factor like normal. We can use -1 and -4. Therefore:

$=(u-4)(u-1)$

We can now substitute back u:

$=(x^2-4)(x^2-1)$

Both of these can be factored furthered using the difference of two squares:

$(a^2-b^2)=(a+b)(a-b)$

Therefore, we will have:

$=(x+2)(x-2)(x+1)(x-1)$

And we are done!
