Mathematics

Answer:

$14.43¢

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given; 1\frac{2}{5} pounds, 1 pound = $4.20 and 2\frac{1}{4} pounds,1 pound = $3.80 that Andrea bought.

Now we need to find her total cost. To do that, we must first find the cost of the avocados. To do so, let us set up a graph. But before that is done, convert 1\frac{2}{5} to a decimal. It is 1.4. Now we can set up a graph.

<u>Avocados</u>

\frac{4.2}{1}=\frac{x}{1.4}

Switch sides

\frac{x}{1.4}=\frac{4.2}{1}

Apply rule: \frac{a}{1}=a

\frac{x}{1.4}=4.2

Multiply both sides by 1.4

\frac{1.4x}{1.4}=4.2\cdot \:1.4

Simplify

x=5.88

So, her cost for avocados is $5.88¢

Now we must first find the cost of the avocados. To do so, let us set up a graph. But before that is done, convert 2\frac{1}{4} to a decimal. It is 2.25. Now we can set up a graph.

<u>Asparagus</u>

\frac{3.8}{1}=\frac{x}{2.25}

Switch sides

\frac{x}{2.25}=\frac{3.8}{1}

Apply rule : \frac{a}{1}=a

\frac{x}{2.25}=3.8

Multiply both sides by 2.25

\frac{2.25x}{2.25}=3.8\cdot \:2.25

Simplify

x=8.55

So, her cost for asparagus is $8.55¢

<u>Total cost</u>

Now that we have found out how much both of the fruits Andrea bought costs, we need to sum it up (meaning add it) to find the total cost:

$5.88¢ + 8.55¢ =

5.88 + 8.55 = 14.43

Therefore, Andrea's total cost of the fruits is $14.43¢

Jackson buys a grape snow cone on a hot day. By the time he eats all the "snow" off the top, the paper cone is filled with 27\pi
anyanavicka [17]

Question:

Jackson buys a grape snow cone on a hot day. By the time he eats all the "snow" off the top, the paper cone is filled with 27\pi27π27, pi cm^3 3 start superscript, 3, end superscript of melted purple liquid. The radius of the cone is 333 cm. What is the height of the cone?

Answer:

The height of the cone is 9 \ cm

Explanation:

It is given that the radius of the cone is 3 \ cm

The volume of the cone is 27\pi

The height of the cone can be determine using the formula,  

$V=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h$

Substituting the values V=27 \pi and r=3, we get,

$27 \pi=\frac{1}{3} \pi(3)^{2} h$

Multiplying both sides by 3, we have,

$81 \pi= 9\pi h$

Dividing both sides by $9 \pi$, we have,

9=h

Thus, the height of the cone is 9 \ cm

Given log Subscript 3 Baseline 2 almost-equals 0. 631 and log Subscript 3 Baseline 7 almost-equals 1. 771, what is log Subscript
kari74 [83]

You can use the properties of logarithm to get to the solution.

The approximate value for given term is given by

log_3(14) \approx 2.402

<h3>What is logarithm and some of its useful properties?</h3>

When you raise a number with an exponent, there comes a result.

Lets say you get

a^b = c

Then, you can write 'b' in terms of 'a' and 'c' using logarithm as follows

b = log_a(c)

Some properties of logarithm are:

log_a(b) = log_a(c) \implies b = c\\\\\log_a(b) + log_a(c) = log_a(b \times c)\\\\log_a(b) - log_a(c) = log_a(\frac{b}{c})

<h3>Using the above properties</h3>

log_3(2) + log_3(7) = log_3(2 \times 7) = log_3(14)\\\\0.631 + 1.771  = log_3(14)\\\\log_3(14) = 2.402

Thus,

The approximate value for given term is given by

log_3(14) \approx 2.402

A square rug covers 79 square feet of floor. What is the approximate length of one side of the rug? (Approximate to the nearest
GaryK [48]

Answer:

8.88 feet

Step-by-step explanation: Since it is a square all the sides equal the same number. You may not know how to use square roots yet but, I will show you how they are helpful. The square root of a number is when the 2 numbers being multiplied together are the same. For example, 3*3 is 9. The square root of 9 is 3 because when you multiply 3 and 3 together you get 9. For your problem since all the problems start with 8.8 we know it is bigger than 8 and less than 9 because the square root of 8 is 64 and the square root of 9 is 81. Since 79 is closer to 81 then it is to 64 we know 8.86 and 8.87 won't work because they are too small. From here the best way to figure it out is by trial and error if you are not allowed to use a calculator. So try 8.88 times 8.88 and 8.89 times 8.89. But if you are allowed to use a calculator (a scientific calculator) type in 79. There should be a button that looks like \sqrt{x\\. If you press it it will give you the square root of 79 (which is what you are looking for).

In an Animal shelter, the ratio of dogs to cats is 5 to 3. There are 25 dogs, how many cats are there?
LekaFEV [45]

Answer: 25:15

Step-by-step explanation: in the ratio 5:3 the 5 is dogs and the 3 is cats you multiply the 5 (aka the dogs) by 5 to get 25 (the amount of dogs in the shelter) when you multiply 3 by 5 you get the amount of cats which is 15, a good way to remember is what you do to one side you have to do to the other. I hope this helps.
