Answer:

  • New York style: $14
  • Chocolate Marble: $16

Step-by-step explanation:

We can let n and c represent the costs of the New York style and the chocolate marble cheesecakes, respectively. Then the two sales are ...

  11n +7c = 266 . . . . . . . Rob's sale

  4n +14c = 280 . . . . . . Amy's sale

The ratio of coefficients of c is a "nice" number (2), so we can eliminate the c variable easily to solve this. Dividing the second equation by 2 and subtracting it from the first gives ...

  (11n +7c) -(1/2)(4n +14c) = (266) -(1/2)(280)

  9n = 126 . . . . . . simplify

  n = 14 . . . . . . . . divide by 9

Filling this into the first equation, we have ...

  11(14) +7c = 266

  7c = 112 . . . . . . . . subtract 154

  c = 16 . . . . . . . divide by 7

One New York style cheesecake costs $14; one chocolate marble cheesecake costs $16.

Which number line best shows the position of square root of 13?
BaLLatris [955]
I assume you mean one that is not rational, such as √2. In such a case, you make a reasonable estimate of it's position, and then label the point that you plot.
For example, you know that √2 is greater than 1 and less than 2, so put the point at about 1½ (actual value is about 1.4142).
For √3, you know the answer is still less than 4, but greater than √2. If both of those points are required to be plotted just make sure you put it in proper relation, otherwise about 1¾ is plenty good (actual value is about 1.7321).
If you are going to get into larger numbers, it's not a bad idea to just learn a few roots. Certainly 2, 3, and 5 (2.2361) and 10 (3.1623) shouldn't be too hard.
Then for a number like 20, which you can quickly workout is √4•√5 or 2√5, you could easily guess about 4½ (4.4721).
They're usually not really interested in your graphing skills on this sort of exercise. They just want you to demonstrate that you have a grasp of the magnitude of irrational numbers.
