Let

x------> height of Leon's older brother

y------> height of Leon

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

4\frac{3}{4}\ ft=\frac{4*4+3}{4}= \frac{19}{4}\ ft443 ft=44∗4+3=419 ft

we know that

x=\frac{19}{4}\ ftx=419 ft -----> equation A

y=x-\frac{1}{3}y=x−31 -----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

y=\frac{19}{4}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{53}{12}\ fty=419−31=1253 ft

Convert to mixed number

\frac{53}{12}=\frac{48}{12}+\frac{5}{12}=4\frac{5}{12}\ ft1253=1248+125=4125 ft

therefore

the answer is

4\frac{5}{12}\ ft4125 ft

1. Based on the information in the table, is the cost of the apples proportional to the weight of apples?
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

  1. yes
  2. no

Step-by-step explanation:

When a number of similar calculations are required, a spreadsheet can reduce the tedium.

1. The price is a constant $1.88 per pound, so is proportional to the weight.

_____

2. The price is not proportional to the number of toppings.

__

The cost of the pizza is $8.99 plus $1.50 per topping. The base cost being non-zero ensures that the overall cost is not proportional to the number of toppings.

If a change dispenser contains 32 coins consisting of

<h3>Answer:  19 dimes</h3>

=================================================

Work Shown:

d = number of dimes

q = 32-d = number of quarters

$5.15 = 515 cents

10d+25q = 515

10d+25(32-d) = 515

10d+800-25d = 515

-15d+800 = 515

-15d = 515-800

-15d = -285

d = -285/(-15)

d = 19

There are 19 dimes. You can stop here if you want.

q = 32-d = 32-19 = 13

There are 13 quarters

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

Check:

1 dime = 10 cents

19 dimes = 19*10 = 190 cents

1 quarter = 25 cents

13 quarters = 13*25 = 325 cents

total value = 190 cents + 325 cents = 515 cents = $5.15

The answer is confirmed.

Please help and include explanation !!
Sidana [21]

The vertical angles are equal to each other, that is, one of the one-sided corners will be 116°.

The sum of the one-sided angles is 180°, which means: 4x+116 = 180°

4x = 180-116 => 4x = 64°

x = 64/4 = 16°.

The sum of two adjacent angles is 180°. which means, that: 2x-3y = 180-64 = 116°

2x-3y = 116°

-2x+3y = -116

-32+3y = -116

3y = -116-(-32)

3y = -84

y = -84/3 => y = -28.
