Answer:

Jane spend 4 hours in a day sleeping, and 28 hours in a week.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1 day, there are 24 hours. 24 multiplied by 1/6 is 4. I know this because 24 x 1/6 = 24/1 x 1/6 = 24/6 = 4/1 = 4.

In 1 week, there are 168 hours. 1/6 multiplied by 168 is 28. I know this because 168 x 1/6 = 168/1 x 1/6 = 168/6 = 28/1 = 28

I would appreciate brainliest.

Answer:

p=2982

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of interest = 6 % p.a

No of year = 12

P.V = $ 25000

Installments (p) = ?

We know the formula of P.V annuity

P.V = P[ 1-(1+r)-n/r]

25000 = P[1-(1+0.06)-12/0.06]

P = 2982 will withdraw annuity

A) Find the distance of line segment PR. Round answer to the nearest tenth. B) Find the distance around the park (perimeter).

juin [17]

Answer:

A. $PR = 80.6 yd$

B. Perimeter = 190.6 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Distance between P(10, 50) and R(80, 10):

$PR = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

$PR = \sqrt{(80 - 10)^2 + (10 - 50)^2}$

$PR = \sqrt{(70)^2 + (-40)^2}$

$PR = \sqrt{4,900 + 1,600}$

$PR = \sqrt{6,500}$

$PR = 80.6 yd$ (nearest tenth)

B. Distance around the park = Perimeter = PR + PQ + QR

PR = 80.6 yd

PQ = |50 - 10| = 40 yd

QR = |80 - 10| = 70 yd

Perimeter = 80.6 + 40 + 70

Perimeter = 190.6 yd

Monday: 10 apples and 5 bananas cost £4.20 Friday: 8 apples and 10 bananas cost £5.40 Find the cost of each - with an explanatio

motikmotik

Answer:

An apple costs £0.25

A banana costs £0.34

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be apples and b be bananas.

10a+5b=4.2

8a+10b=5.4

Solve for a:

10a+5b=4.2

Subtract 5b from both sides

10a=4.2-5b

Subtract 4.2 from both sides

10a-4.2= -5b

Multiply both sides by -1

-10a+4.2=5b

8a+10b=5.4

Subtract 10b from both sides

8a=5.4-10b

Subtract 5.4 from both sides

8a-5.4= -10b

Multiply both sides by -1

-8a+5.4= 10b

Divide both sides by 2

-4a+2.7=5b

Combine equations:

-4a+2.7= -10a+4.2

Add 10a to both sides

6a+2.7=4.2

Subtract 2.7 from both sides

6a=1.5

Divide both sides by 6

a=0.25

An apple costs £0.25

Solve for b:

10a+5b=4.2

Subtract 10a from both sides

5b= -10a+4.2

Subtract 4.2 from both sides

5b-4.2= -10a

Multiply both sides by -1

-5b+4.2=10a

8a+10b=5.4

Subtract 8a from both sides

10b= -8a+5.4

Subtract 5.4 from both sides

10b-5.4= -8a

Divide both sides by 4

2.5b-1.35= -2a

Multiply both sides by 5

12.5b-6.75= -10a

Multiply both sides by -1

-12.5b+6.75=10a

Combine equations:

-12.5b+6.75= -5b+4.2

Add 12.5b to both sides

6.75=7.5b+4.2

Subtract 4.2 from both sides

2.55=7.5b

7.5b=2.55

Divide both sides by 7.5

b=0.34

A banana costs £0.34

If you would like to check and see if it is true, (I already checked, it is) you can use the formulas I gave at the start of the explanation.

10a+5b=4.2

8a+10b=5.4

a=0.25

b=0.34
