Answer:

Let x = the number of adult tickets sold

Let x + 61 = the number of student tickets sold

x + x + 61 = 761

2x = 700

x = 350

x + 61 = 411

Gayle is making gift bags and must tie 250 ribbons to them. If Gayle can tie 4 ribbons every 10 minutes, how long will it take G
mart [117]

Answer:

625 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Time taken to tie 4 ribbons = 10 minutes

Number of ribbons to be tied = 250

To find:

Time taken to tie 250 ribbons.

Solution:

First of all, we need to find the time taken to tie one ribbon.

And then we can multiply it with 250 to find the time taken to tie all the 250 ribbons.

For finding the time to tie one ribbon, we need to divide the time taken to tie 4 ribbons with 4.

Time taken to tie 1 ribbon = \frac{10}{4} = 2.5 minutes

Time taken to tie 250 ribbons = 2.5 \times 250 = <em>625 minutes</em>

A piece of paper is to display ~128~ 128 space, 128, space square inches of text. If there are to be one-inch margins on both si
Grace [21]

Answer:

The dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

Area = 128

Let the dimension of the paper be x and y;

Such that:

Length = x

Width = y

So:

Area = x * y

Substitute 128 for Area

128 = x * y

Make x the subject

x = \frac{128}{y}

When 1 inch margin is at top and bottom

The length becomes:

Length = x + 1 + 1

Length = x + 2

When 2 inch margin is at both sides

The width becomes:

Width = y + 2 + 2

Width = y + 4

The New Area (A) is then calculated as:

A = (x + 2) * (y + 4)

Substitute \frac{128}{y} for x

A = (\frac{128}{y} + 2) * (y + 4)

Open Brackets

A = 128 + \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8

Collect Like Terms

A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8+128

A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 136

A= 512y^{-1} + 2y + 136

To calculate the smallest possible value of y, we have to apply calculus.

Different A with respect to y

A' = -512y^{-2} + 2

Set

A' = 0

This gives:

0 = -512y^{-2} + 2

Collect Like Terms

512y^{-2} = 2

Multiply through by y^2

y^2 * 512y^{-2} = 2 * y^2

512 = 2y^2

Divide through by 2

256=y^2

Take square roots of both sides

\sqrt{256=y^2

16=y

y = 16

Recall that:

x = \frac{128}{y}

x = \frac{128}{16}

x = 8

Recall that the new dimensions are:

Length = x + 2

Width = y + 4

So:

Length = 8 + 2

Length = 10

Width = 16 + 4

Width = 20

To double-check;

Differentiate A'

A' = -512y^{-2} + 2

A" = -2 * -512y^{-3}

A" = 1024y^{-3}

A" = \frac{1024}{y^3}

The above value is:

A" = \frac{1024}{y^3} > 0

This means that the calculated values are at minimum.

<em>Hence, the dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches</em>

Tara has 39 red pens she has to get 125 pens how many more pens does she need?
Crank

Answer: She needs 86 more pens

Step-by-step explanation: She starts off with 39 pens and she needs to get to 125 so you would subtract 39 from 125 and you would find the answer to how many more she needs.

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

45/5 = 9

9 to 20 = 11

45 to 100 = 55

<u>55</u> = 5<--- Linear
