Answer:

  • 7 pounds of fish
  • 18.5 pounds of lobster

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of lobster sold. Then 25.5-x is the number of pounds of fish. The total money made is ...

  4.25(25.5-x) +9.00x = 196.25

  4.75x + 108.375 = 196.25 . . . . . simplify

  4.75x = 87.875 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 108.375

  x = 18.5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4.75

The market sold 7 pounds of fish and 18.5 pounds of lobster.

A person on tour has dollar 360 for his daily expenses. If he extends his tour for 4 days, he has to cut down his daily expenses
Greeley [361]

Answer:

The original duration of the tour  is 18 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

the number of days spent be T

Daily expenses be D

Initially ,

total tour expenses was 360

D \times T=360

D = \frac{360}{T}-------------(1)

If he extends his tour for 4 days, he has to cut down his daily expenses by dollar 3

(D + 4) \cdot(T -3) = 360---------------(2)

Expanding the eqaution(2)

DT-3D + 4T -12 = 360

Substituting the value of D

(\frac{360}{T})T -3( \frac{360}{T}) + 4T -12 = 360

(\frac{360}{T})T -3( \frac{360}{T}) + 4T= 360 + 12

(\frac{360}{T})T -3( \frac{360}{T}) + 4T= 372

360 - ( \frac{1080}{T}) + 4T= 372

( \frac{1080}{T}) + 4T= 372 - 360

( \frac{1080}{T}) + 4T= 12

1080 + 4T^2= 12T

Solving the quadratic equation we get

T = 18  and T = -15

T is the number of gays and it cannot be negative , hence T is 18

Substituting in equation (1) we get

D = \frac{360}{18}

D =  20

This is a picture of a small sumu
Deffense [45]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The rubber exercise ball is a sphere

the volume of a sphere= 4/3*pi*r3

where r = the radius of the sphere.

from the diagram, the radius = 4.5inches

Therefore, volume of the rubber ball = 4/3*pi*4.5^3 = 381.51 cubic inches

Volume of Spheres
Oliga [24]
It’s simple. The volume of a sphere is V=4/3πr^3.. so you will convert the mm to m okay?? 10mm=1cm .. so do your conversion from here then when you get the radius then you will substitute it into the volume where r is the radius.. so for the first one l changed mm to cm so.. radius is 4cm then l substitute it into the formula so l got 270 after rounding it to the nearest tenth.. pi=22/7 bear in mind. So do the same for the other one
