Answer:

there are 24 cookies in the 4 boxes

there are 6 cookies in each box

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of cookies in each box

If there are 4 boxes, the total number of cookies in the four boxes are 4x

If a friend brought 1 cookie to add to each box, the friend brought a total of 4 cookies

4x + 4 = 28

Solving for x

4x = 28 - 4

4x = 24

x = 6

Each box contains 6 cookies and there are 24 cookies in 4 boxes

Stephen says that the numbers 38 and 40 are relatively prime. Explain why he is incorrect in making this statement. (make a good
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

He is incorrect in this statement because 38 and 40 both have factors, other than 1 x itself. Prime numbers are numbers the only have 1 factor pair, and that is 1 x itself. Factors are the numbers you multiply to get the end result, and an example is 10x4=40. The factors of 40 are 8x5, 4x10, 2x20, and of course, 1x40. The factors of 38 are 2x19, and 1x38.

10. Mr. Guerrero left his house and drove north at an average speed of 40 mph.Two hours later, his daughter Miranda left the hou
Charra [1.4K]
Speed=distance / time  ⇒ distance=time x speed
distance=d
time=t
speed= s

d=s*t

Distance  traveled by Mr Guerrero, when his daugther left the house
Data:
s=40 miles/ hour
t=2 hours
d=40 miles/ hour * 2 hours=  80 miles

Total distance traveled by Mr Guerrero:
d=80 miles + 40 miles/hourt    ⇒d=80+40t      (1)

d=total distance.
s=speed.
t=time spent by Miranda for she overtook her father.

Distance traveled by Miranda.
data:

s=48 miles/ hour
d=total distance.
t=time spent by Miranda for she overtook her father.

d=48 miles/hour * t      ⇒d=48t       (2)

With the equations (1) and (2), we make an system of equations:

d=80+40t
d=48t

We can solve this system of equation by equalization method.

80+40t=48t
80=48t-40t
80=8t
t=80/8=10

d=48t
d=48*10=480

Answer: the thistance will be 480 miles.
