Answer:
Kevin has 5 black kittens.
Step-by-step explanation:
Anna only has four kittens and two are black which makes it half of her litter. So we would do the same with Kevin. Since he has ten kittens half of them would be black.
A) x + y = 110
x - y = 40
B) Melvin swims for 35 minutes every day.
C) It is not possible
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
Let x denote the duration for which Melvin plays tennis and y denote the duration for which he swims
Step 2 :
Part A :
Given that the total duration for which he plays and tennis is 110 minutes
so we have x + y = 110
Also given that he plays tennis for 40 minutes more than he swims
So, x = y+ 40 =>x-y = 40
So the linear pair of equations are
x + y = 110
x-y = 40
Step 3 :
Part B
Solving the above 2 equations we have
y+40+y = 110 = > 2y+ 40 = 110 = > y = 2y = 70 = >35
x = y+40 = 35+ 40 = 75
So Melvin plays tennis for 75 minutes and swims for 35 minutes every day.
Step 4 :
Part C
Given he plays and swims for 110 mins exactly, i.e x + y = 110
If Melvin plays tennis for 70 minutes , then x = 70, then the time for which he can swim is 110 - 70 = 40 mins.
He gets only 40 mins for swimming which is not 40 mins more than he plays tennis .
So this case is not possible.
For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.
We have then:
n: number of days.
We now write the explicit formula that represents the problem.
We have then:
an = 4n + 15
Where,
15: crunches the first day
4: increase the number 4 each day
Answer:
An explicit formula for the number of crunches Abbie will do on day n is:
an = 4n + 15
Answer:
The shape can be broken into a rectangular prism and a triangular prism.
The volume of the ramp is 24 feet cubed.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ramp has a rectangular prism and triangular prism. The combined shape makes the ramp.
The volume of a rectangular prism = Bh
where
B = base area
B = length × width
h = height
volume = 1.5 × 4.8 × 2 = 14.4 ft³
The volume of a triangular prism = base area + slant height
volume = 1/2 b × h × l
where
b = base of the triangle
h = height of the triangle
l = slant height of the prism
volume = 1/2 × 2 × 2 × 4.8 = 19.2/2 = 9.6 ft³
The volume of the ramp = 14.4 + 9.6 = 24 ft³
