Answer:

There are 1,360 pears.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that there are P pears and A apples.

We know that:

"If 20 apples and 60 pears are sold every hour, there will be 80 pears when all the apples are sold."

Suppose that all of these are sold after N hours, then:

20*N = A

80*N = P - 80

We also know that:

"if 60 apples and 20 pears are sold every hour, there will be 400 pears when all the apples are sold."

60*N = A

20*N = P - 400

Then we have four equations:

20*N = A

80*N = P - 80

60*N = A

20*N = P - 400

From the first one and the second one, we get:

20*N = A = 20*N = P - 400

A = P - 400

Now we have 3 equations:

80*N = P - 80

60*N = A

A = P - 400

Now we can just replace the third equation into the second one, then we get:

60*N = A = P - 400

Now we have two equations:

80*N = P - 80

60*N = P - 400

Now, remember that we want to find the number of pears, so we want to find the value of P.

To do it, we can take the quotient of the two equations, so we get:

(80*N)/(60*N) = (P - 80)/(P - 400)

8/6 = (P - 80)/(P - 400)

Now we can solve this for P

(8/6)*(P - 400) = P - 80

(8/6)*P - (8/6)*400 = P - 80

(8/6)*P - P = (8/6)*400 - 80

(2/6)*P = (8/6)*400 - 80

P = (6/2)*( (8/6)*400 - 80 )

P = 3*( (8/6)*400 - 80 ) = 1,360

There are 1,360 pears.

If the graph of the linear equations in a system are parallel what does that mean about possible solutions of the system?
professor190 [17]

Since, the system of linear equations are parallel

so, they will never cross or intersect each other

And we know that

solution can only be found if both lines intersect atleast one point

But here , lines are parallel

so, they never intersect each other throughout number line

Since, they never intersect

so, we won't get any common value between both lines

Hence,

There is no solution...........Answer

Agata [3.3K]

Asher gave lemonade to 14 students

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, A container has 12 and \frac{3}{4} cups of lemonade

Asher gives each of his classmates \frac{7}{8} of a cup of lemonade

To find: Number of classmates received the lemonade

From given question,

Total cups of lemonade = 12\frac{3}{4}

\rightarrow 12\frac{3}{4} = \frac{4 \times 12 + 3}{4} = \frac{51}{4}

cups of lemonade received by each classmate = \frac{7}{8}

Thus, number of classmates received the lemonade can be found by dividing total cups of lemonade by cups of lemonade received by each classmate

\rightarrow \frac{\frac{51}{4}}{\frac{7}{8}}=\frac{51}{4} \times \frac{8}{7}

\rightarrow 14.57

Thus Asher gave lemonade to 14 students

Pls help! I don’t understand bc I’m not smart-
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

78.5 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the area of a quarter of a circle: \frac{1}{4} * \pi * r^{2}, where r is the radius (diameter ÷ 2) and the \pi is alterable.

1) Substitute the given values into the formula.

= \frac{1}{4} * 3.14 * 10^{2}

2) Solve it.

= \frac{1}{4} * 314

= 78.5

3) Round it off to the nearest tenth. In this case, it has already been rounded off.
