30 because the original ratio would be 16 to 14 but that reduces to 8 to 7 and then you just double the 7 to get 14  and then you add 16 and 14 together to get the total number of horses and elephants.

What Value of m will make this equation true? 3 (m - 5) + 8 = 7 - 1/2 (4m - 11)​
KatRina [158]

Answer:

m = 7.1

Step-by-step explanation:

3 (m -5) + 8 = 7 -1/2 (4m - 11)

So, what I did first was distribute the values in the parenthesis to get,

3m - 15 + 8 = 7 -2m -5.5

Now that we have the parenthesis taken care of we can do the simpler math,

3m - 23 = 7 -2m - 5.5

I just added the 15 and 8, so now I move the -5.5 to the opposite side by adding.

3m - 23 = 7 -2m -5.5

<u>        +5.5             +5.5</u>

3m - 28.5 = 7 - 2m

Here we can do the same with the -2m.

3m - 28.5 = 7 - 2m

<u>+2m                 +2m</u>

5m - 28.5 = 7

To get rid of the -28.5 I added it to the 7 getting an answer of,

5m - 28.5 = 7

<u>      + 28.5    +28.5</u>

5m = 35.5

Finally, divide 5m and 35.5 both by 5.

5m/5 = m

35.5/5 = 7.1

Answer: m=7.1

Sorry it's really long, but I hope this helps! Have a great day!

What is the gcf for 13 and 17
Yanka [14]

Answer:  GCF of 13 and 17 is 1. 2.

Step-by-step explanation: Greatest common factor (GCF) of 13 and 17 is 1. We will now calculate the prime factors of 13 and 17, than find the greatest common factor (greatest common divisor (gcd)) of the numbers by matching the biggest common factor of 13 and 17.

The diameter of the average cell in the human body is 1 x 10-5 meters. The diameter of a grain of sand is about 2 x 10-4 meters.
MariettaO [177]
PART A:

Scientific notation is given by A×10ⁿ where A is any number in a unit and 'n' is an integer.

0.000025 = 2.5×10⁻⁵

PART B:

Diameter of grain of sand ÷ Diameter of human body average cell
(2×10⁻⁴) ÷ (1×10⁻⁵) 
(2÷1) × (10⁻⁴÷10⁻⁵)
2 × (10⁻⁴ ⁻ ⁻⁵) = 2 × 10⁽⁻⁴⁺⁵⁾ = 2 × 10¹ = 20 times bigger

PART C:

The diameter of human body's average cell in nanometer
1 × 10⁻⁵ metre = 1 × 10⁻⁵ × 10⁹ = 1 × 10⁽⁻⁵⁺⁹⁾ = 1 × 10⁴ nanometer

PART D:

Smallest bacteria = 300 nanometer
300 nm = 300 ÷ 10⁹ = (3 × 10²) ÷ 10⁹ = 3 × (10²⁻⁹) = 3 × 10⁻⁷ meter

PART E:

Laws of exponents that are applied in scientific notation is 

xᵇ × xᵃ = x⁽ᵇ⁺ᵃ⁾
xᵇ ÷ xᵃ = x⁽ᵇ⁻ᵃ⁾

Yan is climbing down a ladder. Each time he descends four rungs on the ladder, he stops to see how much farther he has to go
anastassius [24]

Question:

Yan is climbing down a ladder. Each time he descends 4 rungs on the ladder, he stopped to see how much farther he has to go. If Yan made eight stops with no extra steps, which expression best shows another way to write the product of the number of ladder rungs that Yan and climbed?

4+4+4+4

8+8+8+8

(-1)(4+4+4+4)

(-8) + (-8) + (-8) + (-8)

Answer:

Total = (-8) +(-8) +(-8) +(-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

<em></em>Rungs = -4<em> --- It is negative because he is climbing down</em>

Steps = 8

Required

An expression for the number of rungs climbed

To do this, we simply multiply the number of rungs by the steps taken.

Total = Rungs * Steps

Total = -4 * 8

This can be rewritten as:

Total = -8 * 4

The product, when written as sum is:

Total = (-8) +(-8) +(-8) +(-8)

Last year Baron Enterprises had $800 million of sales, and it had $270 million of fixed assets that were used at 65% of capacity
Svetllana [295]

Answer: B. $430.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Last year Baron Enterprises had $800 million of sales.

It had $270 million of fixed assets that were used at 65% (=0.65) of capacity last year.

Now, the used asset = 0.65\times270=\$175.5million

Now, Baron Enterprises had $800 million of sales in $175.5 million of assets , if we use all of $270 million of fixed assets , then the sales will be :-

\dfrac{800}{175.5}\times270=1230.76923077\approx1230.80\text{ million}

Now, the increase in Baron's sales before it is required to increase its fixed assets = \$1230.80-$800=\$430.80\text{ millions}

Hence, the increase in Baron's ( in million ) sales before it is required to increase its fixed assets = $430.80
