Answer:

5.46 kilograms or 6.6 kilograms  

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that 2 5 in your question has two possible meaning:

  • 2/5 of  this weight is apples

Let divide 9.1 kilograms into 5 equal part

=> 1 equal part =  9.1 / 5 = 1.82 kilograms  

Because 2/5 of this weight is apples, so the weight of apples accounted for 2 equal parts

=> the weight of apples is: 2*1.82 kilograms  = 3.64 kilograms

=>  the weight of pears is: 9.1 kilograms - 3.64 kilograms = 5.46 kilograms

  • 2.5 kg of  this weight is apples

Given the total weight is 9.1 kilograms

=>  the weight of pears is: 9.1 kilograms - 2.5 kilograms = 6.6 kilograms

The fair will be traveling to a place that uses the metric system. They received directions to their next stop, but they are in
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

2x - 0.4x ;

8x/5 ;

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of miles = x

Arlene:

Double number of miles = 2 * x = 2x

Subtract 20% of the result :

2x - 20% of 2x ;

2x - 0.4x

Raul:

Divides Number of miles by 5 ; x / 5

Multiplies result by 8 ;

8 * (x/5) = 8x /5

To know if expressions are equivalent :

Let x = 10 miles

Using Arlene's expression:

2x - 0.4x

x = 10

2(10) - 0.4(10) = 16

Using Raul's expression :

8x / 5

(8*10) / 5

80/5

= 16

Since they give the same result, we can conclude that the expression are equivalent

Can someone help me with my algebra?
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The top graph

Solutions:

-2

0

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic function in factored form is

f(x) =  - (x + 2)(x - 2)

This is a parabola that has x-intercepts at (-2,0) and (2,0)

This parabola opens downward because the leading coefficient is less than 1.

The second function is

g(x) = 2 |x  + 2|

This is an absolute value function with vertex at (-2,0).

Therefore the graph that shows the solution to f(x)=g(x) is the top graph.

Hence the solution is x=-2,x=0

We form a committee of 8 people, to be chosen from 15 women and 12 men. (a) How many possible committee can be formed
eimsori [14]

Using the combination formula, it is found that 2,220,075 committees can be formed.

The order in which the people are chosen is not important, hence, the <em>combination formula</em> is used to solve this question.

<h3>Combination formula: </h3>

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by:

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

In this problem, 8 people are chosen from a set of 12 + 15 = 27, hence:

C_{27,8} = \frac{27!}{8!19!} = 2220075

2,220,075 committees can be formed.
