Answer:

Each friend ate 4 tacos.

Step-by-step explanation:

"4 of his friends ate s tacos" is unclear. I assume it should be

"4 of his friends ate s tacos each."

total tacos = 2 + 4s = 18

4s = 16

s = 4

His four friends ate a total of 16 tacos, each friend eating 4 tacos.

Ricky's reason, i.e., that 6s = 18, is incorrect.

6s = 4s+2s, where 4s is what his friends ate in total.

That implies that Ricky ate 2s tacos, instead of 2 tacos. If 2s = 2 then s = 1, but then 6s ≠ 18.

The table shows the distance Shannon ran over a week.

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Shannon run 1.5 km more on Friday than on Saturday.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given table

Distance run on Friday = 4/2 = 2 km

Distance run on Saturday = 1/2 = 0.5 km

In order to run how many more kilometers Shannon run on Friday than on Saturday, we need to subtract the distance run on Saturday from the distance run on Friday.

i.e.

Friday run - Saturday run = 2 - 0.5

= 1.5 km

Thus, Shannon run 1.5 km more on Friday than on Saturday.

Find the length of the curve. R(t) = 7t, 3 cos(t), 3 sin(t) , −2 ≤ t ≤ 2

Leviafan [203]

we are given

$r(t)=(7t,3cos(t),3sin(t))$

we can find x , y and z

$x=7t,y=3cos(t),z=3sin(t))$

now, we can use arc length formula

$L=\int\limits^a_b {\sqrt{(x')^2+(y')^2+(z')^2} } \, dt$

now, we can find derivative

$x'=7,y'=-3sin(t),z'=3cos(t))$

now, we can plug values

and we get

$L=\int _{-2}^2\sqrt{7^2+\left(-3\sin \left(t\right)\right)^2+\left(3\cos \left(t\right)\right)^2}dt$

$L=\int _{-2}^2\sqrt{7^2+9}dt$

$=\sqrt{58}\cdot \:2-\left(-2\sqrt{58}\right)$

$L=4\sqrt{58}$ ...........Answer

Convert 0.0150 km to meters and express the answer to the correct number of significant digits. a. 150 m b. 15 m c. 15.0 m d. 15

FromTheMoon [43]

The correct answer is option C which is 15 meters.

<h3>What is unit conversion?</h3>

Unit conversion is a multi-step process that entails multiplying or dividing by a numerical factor, selecting the correct number of significant digits, and then multiplying or dividing by another numerical factor.

The unit conversion will be done as:-

1 km = 1000 meters

0.0150 Km = 0.0150 x 1000 meters

0.0150 Km = 15 meters

Therefore the correct answer is option C which is 15 meters.
