Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given y^1/5, to get y, the power must be 1. Using the rules of exponents, (y^1/5)^x = y, such that (1/5)x = 1. Therefore, x = 5.
Answer:
A store sells bread and milk. On Tuesday, 3 loaves of bread and 2 litres of milk were sold for €6.25. On Thursday 4 loaves of bread and 5 litres of milk were sold for €10.90. If b = the price of a loaf of bread and m = the price of
one litre of milk, Tuesday's sales can be written as 3b+2m=6.25.
Part A Using simplest terms, write an equation in band m for Thursday's sales.
PartB calculate the values of b and m
3b + 2m= 6.25 >> Tuesday equation 1
4b + 5m = 10.90 >> Thursday equation 2
Subtract equation 1 and 2
3b+2m-6.25-4b+5m-10.90= 0
b+7m-4.65= 0
b+7m= 4.65+0
b+7m= 4.65
b= 4.65 - 7m
if b= 4.65-7m
then substitute b in b+7m=4.65
4.65-7m+7m= 4.65
4.65-m= 4.65
4.65-4.65= m
m= 0
Step-by-step explanation:
3(5+4b)
3×5=15+3×4=12b=
15+12b
If you compare table values to answer choices, you can see right away that several don't work. The number of centimeters is greater than the number of inches, so adding to or multiplying the number of centimeters by some number more than 1 will not give you the smalller number that is inches.
While it may work for the first number (5 inches) to add 7.7 to get the first number of centimeters (12.7), you have to know that you can only add like to like. You can only add inches to inches (getting a result of inches), or centimeters to centimeters (getting a result of centimeters). From the point of view of the units involved, it is <em>nonsensical</em> to add a pure number to a number of inches and expect to get a number of centimeters.
So, we're down to the second choice:
- The number of inches is multiplied by 2.54 to find the number of centimeters.
_____
To find the pattern in the table, you can ...
- observe that the inch values differ by 1
- observe that the centimeter values differ by 2.54
- realize that the constant differences mean the relation between inches and centimeters is linear, and that a change in an inch value of 1 inch is multiplied by 2.54 to find the corresponding change in centimeter value.
