Answer:

K+T=20

$9K + $6T = $168

K is the Kentucky blue grass in pounds

T is the Tall fescue in pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start with the first equation. We don't know the exact amounts of each but we know that there was a total of 20 pounds, and there were 2 types of grass seeds, so we can get that the amount of pounds of Kentucky blue grass(K) and the pounds of Tal Fescue(T) has a sum of 20.

K + T = 20

For the second equation we know that there is a sum of $168 so we'll start with that. Then, we know he paid $9 per pound of K so $9* the value of K is the amount paid for Kentucky blue grass total. This can be represented as 9K. We do the same for T, 6T. Since the sum of the cost of $9T and $6K must be $168 we can write this as:

$9K + $6T = $168

Side BC is 4 meters long. Side CD is twice the length of the side BC. What is the length of side LM. Explain your reasoning.
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

LM = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

BC = 4

CD is twice that, so CD is 8

Now, remembering that the area of ABCD = 32 and JKLM = 72, divide 72 by 32.

You get 2.25. This is how much bigger JKLM is than ABCD.

Using that, multiply the length of CD (which is 8) by 2.25 to get the length of LM.

You'll get 18.

Hope this helps!

The amount of time needed to complete a certain roadtrip, t, varies inversely with the speed of a vehicle, s. At a speed of 52 m
insens350 [35]

Answer:

The time it will take is 13 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given statement, we can generate the following inverse proportion relationship between t and s

t ∝ 1/s

t = \frac{k}{s} \\\\where;\\\\k \ is \ constant\\\\k = t_1s_1 = t_2s_2 \\\\t_2 = \frac{t_1s_1}{s_2} \\\\t_2 = \frac{12 \times 52}{48} \\\\t_2 = 13 \ hours

The time it will take is 13 hours

If you roll a normal dice 120 times .how many 4s would you except to get
shusha [124]
Roll the dice 120 times

Number of outcomes from rolling the dice = 6
Probability of 4 falling in 1 roll = 1/6 

Probability of the number of 4s in 120 rolls = 120 * 1/6
                                                                    = 20 times

The probability that 4s falls in 120 dice rolls is 20 times.
