At a fish market, a pound of salmon costs $12 and a pound of shrimp costs $18. Mrs. Donnelly wants to buy 2 1/3 pounds of salmon

and 3 1/2 pounds of shrimp. If she has $93, can she buy the amounts of salmon and shrimp she wants? If yes, how much money will she have left over? If no, how much more does she need?

Answer:

Yes and she would have $2 left over because all the food costs $91.

Step-by-step explanation:

We should set up an equation so that everything makes sense. A calculator would be wise for this problem, but I am going to lay it out anyhow.

We should convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions to not be confused. 3 1/2 becomes 7/2 or 3.5 and 2 1/3 becomes 7/3.

From your wording, we can assume that the money Mrs. Donnelly has is either greater than or equal to $93.

Thus, we have 12*(7/3) + 18*(7/3) is equal to or greater than 93 (this is an inequality).

The math shows that the food costed 91 and so she only has $2 left.

An arhitect wants to draw a rectangle with a diagonal of 20 inches. The length of the rectangle is to be 8 inches more than twic
kiruha [24]

The diagonal of a rectangle = sqrt(w^2 + l^2)

w = width

l = length

In this problem,

The diagonal = 20 in

w = x

l = 2x + 8

Let's plug our numbers into the formula above.

20in = sqrt((x)^2 + (2x + 8)^2)

Let's simplify the inside of the sqrt

20 in = sqrt(5x^2 + 32x + 64)

Now, let's square both sides.

400 = 5x^2 + 32x + 64

Subtract 400 from both sides.

0 = 5x^2 + 32x - 336

Factor

0 = (5x - 28)(x + 12)

Set both terms equal to zero and solve.

x + 12 = 0

Subtract 12 from both sides.

x = -12

5x - 28 = 0

Add 28 to both sides.

5x = 28

Divide both sides by 5

x = 28/5

The width cant be a negative number so now we know that the only real solution is 28/5

Let's plug 28/5 into our length equation.

Length = 2(28/5) + 8 = 56/5 + 8 = 96/5

In conclusion,

Length = 96/5 inches

Width = 28/5
