Answer:

36 elves

Step-by-step explanation:

Using proportions

We have space for 30 more giants

30 giants x elves

------------- = ----------

120 full 144 elves full

Using cross products

30*144 = x*120

Divide each side by 120

30*144/120 = 120x/120

36 = x

We can have 36 elves

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

make proportion giants to elves

120/144 = 90/x cross multiply

120x =144*90

120x =12960 divide by 120

x = 108

so if there are 90 giants in the theater there are 108 elves also

considering that total 144 elves can be in the theater subtract 144 and 108 so 36 more elves can be admitted

A store sells small notebooks for $7 and large notebooks for $14. If a student buys 6 notebooks and spends $63, how many of each

babunello [35]

3 small notebooks and 3 large ones
My reasoning is 3 times 7 is 21
63 - 21 = 42
3 times 14 is 42
So 42 + 21 = 63
Therefore 3 small and 3 large

In which region of its domain is.the function y=x^2-4 decreasing

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

${b}^{2} - 4ac = 0 - 4 \times 1 \times ( - 4) = 16$

$\sqrt{16} = 4$

$\frac{ - b}{2a} = \frac{0}{2} = 0$

$\frac{ - 4}{4} = - 1$

it is decreasing from negative infinity to 0

Answer:

Choice C

Step-by-step explanation:

$-3.55g \le -28.4$

Divide both sides by -3.55; remember that by dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative sign, you need to change the direction of the inequality sign.

$\dfrac{-3.55g}{-3.55} \ge \dfrac{-28.4}{-3.55}$

$g \ge 8$
