Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Algebraic Expressions</u>

Let:

g = pounds of grapes

b = pounds of bananas

Since grapes cost $2.39 per pound, g pounds of grapes cost 2.39g dollars.

Since bananas cost $0.59 per pound, b pounds of bananas cost 0.59b dollars.

The total cost of fruits is:

C = 2.39g + 0.59b

And this cost is equal to $15:

2.39g + 0.59b = 15

This is the equation that relates the costs of the fruits. If another condition was given, then we could find how many pounds of each fruit is to be purchased.

A chain of retail computer stores opened 2 stores in its first year of operation. After 8 years of operation, the chain consiste

Helen [10]

Answer:

0.66

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential growth equation is expressed as;

S(t) = S0e^kt

S(t) is the number of stores after t years

S0 is the initial number of stores

If a chain of retail computer stores opened 2 stores in its first year of operation then at t = 1, S(t) = 2. Substitute into the equation;

2 = S0e^k(1)

2 = S0e^k .... 1

Also if after 8 years of operation, the chain consisted of 206 stores, this means at t = 8, S(t) = 206. Substitute into the equation;

206 = S0e^k(1)

206 = S0e^8k .... 2

Next is to calculate the value of k

Divide equation 2 by 1;

$\frac{206}{2} = \frac{S0e^{8k} }{S0e^k }\\103 = e^{7k}\\apply \ ln \ to \ both \ sides\\ln103 = lne^{7k}\\ln103 = 7k\\k = \frac{ln103}{7}\\k = \frac{4.6347}{7} \\k = 0.6621$

Hence the value of k to the nearest hundredth is 0.66

The time, T (seconds) it takes for a pot of water to boil is inversely proportional to the cooker setting, H, applied to the pot

kherson [118]

Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

T = x * (1/H)

x = T*H

x = 2800

so for H = 14

T = 2800 * (1/14) = 200

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The bottom-right most cell tells us that the total number of students that responded to the survey is 310 students.

To find the answer, we can go through each choice.

A. Females taking Geometry

Row 1 Column 2 tells us that 53 females are taking geometry. 53/310 is about 17%.

B. Females taking Algebra II.

Row 1 Colume 3 tells us that 62 females are taking Algebra II. 62/310 is 20%.

C. Males taking Geometry.

Row 2 Colume 2 tells us that 59 males are taking Geometry. 59/310 is about 19%. Choice C is correct.

D. Males taking Algebra I.

44 out of the total 310 respondents are male and is taking Algebra I. 44/310 is about 14%.
