Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

25 divided by 5 is 5 and in fractions 1/5 is 20 therefore 20% for every 5 pounds so if you lose 5 pounds you lost 20% of her weight.

rusak2 [61]

The answer is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

Jamie and Stella are saving money to sign up for a school trip to Washington, D.C. In order to sign up for the trip, they must pay $600 upfront. Jamie earns his money by washing cars for $25 each. Stella earns her money by making pecan pies for $15 each. Jamie earns more money than Stella does because Stella only has enough supplies to make 40 pies. let x represent the number of cars Jamie washes. Let y represent the number of pies Stella makes.

Part 1: Write a constraint (an inequality) to represent how much money Jamie needs for his trip.

Part 2: Write a constraint (an inequality) to represent how much money Stella needs for her trip.

Part 3: Write a constraint (an inequality) to represent the limitations of Stella's supplies.

Part 4: Can Stella afford to sign up for the trip with the money she earns? Explain your answer and show any work that might support your answer.

Answer:

Part 1: $25x\geq 600$

Part 2: $15y\geq 600$

Part 3: $y\leq 40$

Part 4: Yes, she makes exactly 600 dollars by making 40 pies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total money needed for the trip is 600 dollars.

Money earnt by Jamie for washing one car is $25.

Money earnt by Stella for making one pie is $15.

Let $x$ represent the number of cars Jamie washes. Let $y$ represent the number of pies Stella makes.

Part 1:

Since the cost for washing one car is $25

Therefore, the cost of washing $x$ cars is $25x$ .

Now, in order to sign up for the trip, money obtained from car washing must be greater than or equal to $600.

Therefore, $25x\geq 600$

Part 2:

Since the cost for making one pie is $15

Therefore, the cost of making $y$ pies is $15y$ .

Now, in order to sign up for the trip, money obtained from pie making must be greater than or equal to $600.

Therefore, $15y\geq 600$

Part 3:

As per the question, the maximum number of pies that Stella can make is 40. So, the value of $y$ can't exceed 40 and must be less than or equal to 40. Therefore,

$y\leq 40$

Part 4:

Now, in order to sign up for the trip, Stella's total earning must be at least $600. So, $15y=600$ is the minimum condition for signing up for the trip. Now, let us solve the above equation for $y$ . This gives,

$15y=600\\y=\frac{600}{15}=40$

Therefore, minimum number of pies required for signing up for the trip is 40 and luckily that's the maximum supply Stella has for pies. Therefore, she can sign up for the trip by making all the 40 pies and earning a total of 600 dollars.

Rectangle A measures 10 inches by 8 inches. Rectangle B is an enlarged copy of Rectangle A. Select all of the measurement pairs

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Rectangle A:

$Length: 10\ in$

$Width: 8\ in$

Required

Determine the possible dimensions of Rectangle B

<em>The question has missing options; however, the question can still be solved.</em>

<em></em>

Rectangle B being an enlarged copy of A implies that the dimension of A A is enlarged in equal proportion to form B

Take for instance, the measurements of Rectangle B are

$Length: 15 in$

$Width: 12 in$

Divide the corresponding lengths of B by A to get the enlargement ratio

$Ratio = \frac{B}{A}$

For length:

$Ratio = \frac{15}{10}$

$Ratio = 1.5$

For width

$Ratio = \frac{12}{8}$

$Ratio = 1.5$

Notice that both ratios are the same.

For this measurement of B, we can conclude that B is an enlargement of A

Assume another measurements for B

$Length: 20\ in$

$Width: 10\ in$

Calculate Ratios

$Ratio = \frac{B}{A}$

For length:

$Ratio = \frac{20}{10}$

$Ratio = 2$

For width

$Ratio = \frac{10}{8}$

$Ratio = 1.25$

Notice that, both ratios are not equal.

For this measurement of B, we can conclude that B is not an enlargement of A

<em>Conclusively, all you have to do is: determine the ratios of the dimensions of B to A, if the result are equal then B is an enlarged copy of A; if otherwise, then B is not an enlarged copy</em>

Maya is solving the quadratic equation by completing the square.

kvasek [131]

Step-by-step explanation:

factor 4 out of the variable terms, as this helps.

but my approach is simply to define the target and then calculate "backwards".

we want to find

(ax + b)² = a²x² + 2abx + b²

and now we compare with the original equation :

a²x² = 4x²

a² = 4

a = 2

2abx = 16x

2×2×bx = 16x

4b = 16

b = 4

b² = 16, but we have only 3, so we need to subtract 16-3 = 13 from the completed square.

so, our equation is

(2x + 4)² - 13 = 0

(2x + 4)² = 13

2x + 4 = sqrt(13)

2x = sqrt(13) - 4

x = sqrt(13)/2 - 2
