9514 1404 393

Answer:

  it depends on the accuracy and resolution required of the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded portion appears to be about half the length of the unshaded portion, suggesting the shaded amount is 1/3.

__

Using a pair of dividers, one could determine the number of times the shaded portion fits into the whole bar. Depending on how much is left over, the process could repeat to determine the approximate size of the remaining fraction relative to the bar or to the shaded portion. (Alternatively, one could replicate the length of the bar to see what integer number of shaded lengths fit into what integer number of whole lengths.)

One could measure the shaded part and the whole bar with a ruler, then determine the relative size of the shaded part by dividing the first measurement by the second. The finer the divisions on the ruler, the better the approximation will be.

Answer:

x=3,y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+3y=45

2x+3y=27

8x-2x=6x

45-27=18

<u>6</u><u>x</u><u>=</u><u>1</u><u>8</u>

6. 6

x=3

2x+3y=27

2(3)+3y=27

6+3y=27

3y=27-6

<u>3</u><u>y</u> = <u>2</u><u>1</u>

Please help me with 2 and 3 and use the elimination process!
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

2. Judy =$5

Ben= $4

Step-by-step explanation:

2. Let Judy =  x  and Ben =  y

8x + 10y = 80

9x + 5y = 65

Solve these simultaneous equations.

8 x  +  10 y  =  80

18 x  +  10 y  =  130

Take the second equation away from the first equation

− 10 x  =  − 50

x  =  5

This means that Judy gets paid $5 an hour.

Therefore, Ben gets paid $4 an hour.

Answer:

3. 24 quarters and 16 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

3. Let the number of dimes = x and the number of quarters = y

                                    Value      Value

Type        Number       of             of

of             of                EACH      ALL

coin         coins            coin        coins

-------------------------------------------

dimes         x              $0.10       $0.10x

quarters      y             $0.25      $0.25y

-------------------------------------------

TOTALS    40                            $7.60

x + y = 40

0.10x + 0.25y = 7.60

Get rid of decimals by multiplying every term by 100:

10x + 25y = 760

So we have the system of equations:

x + y = 40

10x + 25y = 760

         

We solve by substitution.  Solve the first equation for y:

x + y = 40

y = 40 - x

Substitute (40 - x) for y in 10x + 25y = 760

      10x + 25(40 - x) = 760

      10x + 1000 - 25x = 760

           -15x + 1000 = 760

                  -15x = -240

                       x = 16 = the number of dimes.

Substitute in y = 40 - x

                     y = 40 - (16)

                     y = 24 quarters.

$1.60 + $6.00 = $7.60

I hope that helped, sorry for taking so long :-)

Evaluate 4<br> M-n if m= -7 and n = 2.
gregori [183]

Answer:

-30

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming the equation is 4m-n. If it is not please tell me.

If we know the values of m and n, we can just substitute inside the expression.

4(-7) - 2\\\\-28 - 2\\\\-30

Hope this helped!
