Answer:

tall candles = 39

Short candles = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

let tall candles be x

and short candles be y

No. Of candles sold = x + y =91

Money made from candles will be equal to = 8x + 5y = $572

These both are simultaneous linear equations.

x + y =91 ( multiply by 5)

5x + 5y = 455

8x + 5y = $572

Subtract them:

-3x = -117

x = -117/3

x = 39

put value of x in

x + y = 91

39 + y = 91

y = 91 - 39

y = 52

x shows tall candles so they are 39

y shows short candles so they are 52

Answer:

The bird dove 44 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the bird starts 37 feet above the ocean and dives from its position to 7 feet below the ocean, the you just add the two numbers and get its total dive.

To draw it draw a graph that goes past to +37 and past -7, then draw a bar representing the birds dive from +37 to -7. The X axis would be time, and the Y axis is the bird's height relative to the surface of the water.

Order number from least to greates <br> 9/5 -2.5 -1.1 -4/5 0.8 ​
Brut [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by writing these five numbers in just one format (improper fractions with denominator 10):

9/5 = 18/10, and

-2.5 = -25/10, and

-1.1 = -11/10, and

-4/5 = -8/10, and, finally

0.8 = 8/10

The smallest of these (the least) is -25/10, and

the largest is 18/10.

Arranged in ascending order, we have:

-25/10, -11/10, -8/10, 8/10, 18/10, or

-2.5, -1.1, -4/5, 0.8, 9/5
