Answer:
- apple: £0.20
- banana: £0.60
Step-by-step explanation:
Let "a" and "b" represent the costs of one apple and one banana, respectively. Then the purchases can be written ...
4a +b = 1.40
7a +b = 2.00
Subtracting the first equation from the second gives ...
(7a +b) -(4a +b) = (2.00) -(1.40)
3a = 0.60 . . . . simplify
a = 0.20 . . . . . .divide by 3
Using this in the first equation, we have ...
4(0.20) +b = 1.40
b = 0.60 . . . . . subtract 0.80
The cost of an apple is £0.20; the cost of a banana is £0.60.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You can readily see from the diagram, above, that the side length of the middle cube will be between 3 and 4. You want to determine to the nearest hundredth what value between 3 and 4 represents the side length of the cube whose volume is 45 units^3.
Please note: the middle cube has been mislabeled. Instead of volume = 30 units^3, the volume should be 45 units^3.
Here's the procedure:
Guess an appropriate s value. Let's try s = side length = 3.5
Cube this: (3.5 units)^3 = 42.875. Too small. Choose a larger possible side length, such as 3.7: 3.7^3 = 50.653. Too large.
Try s = 3.6: 3.6^3 = 46.66. Too large.
Choose a smaller s, one between 3.5 and 3.6: 3.55^3 = 44.73. This is the best estimate yet for s. Continue this work just a little further. Try s = 3.57. Cube it. How close is the result to 45 cubic units?
The common difference in this sequence is -16 because each number decreases by 16 from the last
