A science test, which is worth 100 points, consists of 24 questions. Each question is worth either 3 points or 5 points. If x is

the number of 3-point questions and y is the number of 5-point questions, the system shown represents this situation. x + y = 24 3x + 5y = 100 What does the solution of this system indicate about the questions on the test? The test contains 4 three-point questions and 20 five-point questions. The test contains 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions. The test contains 14 three-point questions and 10 five-point questions. The test contains 20 three-point questions and 8 five-point questions.

X+y=24 so we can say

x=24-y making 3x+5y=100 become

3(24-y)+5y=100

72-3y+5y=100

72+2y=100

2y=28

y=14, since x=24-y

x=10

So there are 10 3-point questions and 14 5-point questions.

Answer:

The test contains 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that A science test, which is worth 100 points, consists of 24 questions. Each question is worth either 3 points or 5 points

System of equations: x+y=24  --a

                                   3x+5y=100 --b

Where x denotes x is the number of 3-point questions and y is the number of 5-point questions

Now solve equation a and b by substitution method

Substitute the value of x from a in b

⇒3(24-y)+5y=100

⇒72-3y+5y=100

⇒72+2y=100

⇒2y=28

⇒y=\frac{28}{2}

⇒y=14

Substitute the value of y in equation a to get the value of x

x+14=24

x=10

Thus 10 is the number of 3-point questions.

14  is the number of 5-point questions.

Thus Option 2 is correct.

The test contains 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions.

on a scale drawing, 5 metres is represented by 4 centimetres. write the scale as a ratio in it's simplest form.​
ryzh [129]

Answer:

<em>The scale factor is 1:125</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Scaling</u>

Objects can be represented in a reduced or augmented size by using scaling which consists of multiplying or dividing by a constant factor. We use scaling when representing geographic locations on a map.

On a scale drawing, a distance of 5 meters = 500 cm is represented by 4 centimeters. The scale factor is usually represented as a ratio of the smallest to the biggest magnitude:

\frac{4}{500}=\frac{1}{125}

The scale factor is 1:125

Please help!! Write in simplest radical form: √7/8 Show how you figured it out
12345 [234]

Given expression: \sqrt{\frac{7}{8}}.

\mathrm{Apply\:radical\:rule\:}\sqrt[n]{\frac{a}{b}}=\frac{\sqrt[n]{a}}{\sqrt[n]{b}}

=\frac{\sqrt{7}}{\sqrt{8}}

\sqrt{8}=\sqrt{2^2\cdot \:2}=2\sqrt{2}

\frac{\sqrt{7}}{\sqrt{8}} =\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2\sqrt{2}}

\mathrm{Rationalize\:}\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2\sqrt{2}}

\mathrm{Multiply\:by\:the\:conjugate}\:\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}

=\frac{\sqrt{7}\sqrt{2}}{2\sqrt{2}\sqrt{2}}

=\frac{\sqrt{14}}{4}

=\frac{\sqrt{14}}{4}.
