At Davis you can buy 12 pounds of M&M's for $12.24 or 8 pounds for $8.24 at Smith's. Which is the better buy

Mathematics

Law Incorporation [45]2 years ago

Answer:

12 pounds

Explanation:

If you were to divide 12.24 from 12 you would get 1.02, which would be the cost of each pound.

Meanwhile, if you were to divide 8.24 from 8 you would get 1.03, which would be the cost of each pound.

So although its only a 1 cent difference and you are technically spending more by buying the 12 pounds, if it were to buy 8 pounds from the cost of each pound for the 12 pounds, you'd only be spending $8.16 vs $8.24.

Because you would multiply 1.02, which is the cost of each pound for 12, by 8 and you would get 8.16.

If A is an n× n matrix, then det A = det AT . Verify this theorem for 2 × 2 matrices.
Bond [772]

Answer:

Verified

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A matrix be in the form of

\left[\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right]

Then det(A) = ad - bc

Matrix A transposed would be in the form of:

\left[\begin{array}{cc}a&c\\b&d\end{array}\right]

Where we can also calculate its determinant:

det(AT) = ad - bc = det(A)

So the determinant of the nxn matrix is the same as its transposed version for 2x2 matrices

Krystal can wax a floor in 16 minutes. Perry helped her and it took 5.76 minutes. How long would it take perry to do it alone?
finlep [7]
<span>Krystal's rate = 1 floor in 16 min. = 1/16 floors per min.

Working together their rate = 1 floor in 5.76 min. = 1/5.76 floors per min.

We need to determine Perry's rate, so we need to equate their combined rate with the sum of the individual rates.

Let Perry's time = x

In equation form, we can write:
1/16 + 1/x = 1/5.76
Solve for x:

(x+16)/16x = 1/5.76 -> 5.76(x+16) = 16x -> 10.24x = 92.16 -> x = 9

So, Perry would take 9 mins. to do the floor alone.

I hope this helped!
