2.5 times as many footballs as basket balls is sold;

This means that ; for every unit of basketball sold 2.5 times that unit is the number of football sold ;

Hence, for every 2 basket balls sold, the number of units of football sold is ;

2 * 2.5 = 5 units

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer: $53

Step-by-step explanation:

17+ .09m = 9 + .11m

8 = .02m

m = 8/.02= 400 minutes for the two plans to cost the same

9+.11(400) = 9+ 44 = $53 when they cost the same

17+.09(400) = 17 +36 = $53

Find three positive numbers whose sum is 140 and whose product is a maximum. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

$\frac{140}{3}, \frac{140}{3}, \frac{140}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be $x, y\ and\ z.$

Such that:

$x + y + z = 140$

Make z the subject

$z = 140 -x - y$

For their product to be maximum, we have:

$f(x,y,z) = xyz$

Substitute $z = 140 -x - y$ in $f(x,y,z) = xyz$

$f(x,y) = xy(140 - x - y)$

Open bracket

$f(x,y) = 140xy - x^2y - xy^2$

Differentiate w.r.t x and y

$f_x=140y - 2xy - y^2$

$f_y=140x - x^2 - 2xy$

Since the products are maximum, then $f_x = f_y = 0$

For $f_x=140y - 2xy - y^2$

$140y - 2xy - y^2 = 0$

Factorize:

$y(140 - 2x - y) = 0$

Split

$y = 0\ or\ 140 - 2x - y = 0$

Make y the subject

$y = 0\ or\ y = 140 - 2x$

For $f_y=140x - x^2 - 2xy$

$140x - x^2 - 2xy = 0$

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

Substitute y = 0

$140x - x^2 -2x*0 = 0$

$140x - x^2 = 0$

Factorize

$x(140 - x)= 0$

$x = 0\ or\ 140-x = 0$

$x = 0\ or\ x = 140$

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

Substitute $y = 140 - 2x$

$140x - x^2 - 2xy = 0$

$140x - x^2 - 2x(140 - 2x) = 0$

$140x - x^2 - 280x + 4x^2 = 0$

Re-arrange

$4x^2 -x^2 +140x - 280x = 0$

$3x^2 -140x = 0$

Factor x out

$x(3x - 140) = 0$

Divide through by x

$3x - 140 = 0$

$3x = 140$

$x = \frac{140}{3}$

Recall that: $y = 140 - 2x$

$y = 140 - 2 * \frac{140}{3}$

$y = 140 - \frac{280}{3}$

Take LCM

$y = \frac{140*3-280}{3}$

$y = \frac{140}{3}$

Recall that:

$z = 140 -x - y$

$z = 140 - \frac{140}{3} - \frac{140}{3}$

Take LCM

$z = \frac{3 * 140- 140 - 140}{3}$

$z = \frac{140}{3}$

Hence, the numbers are:

$\frac{140}{3}, \frac{140}{3}, \frac{140}{3}$

Does anyone know how to do this who can pls explain it to me?

Elza [17]

Answer:

The unit rate is $8.89 /ft².

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$160 for 18ft².

So, by dividing with 18

$\frac{160}{18}$ we get $8.888$ .

Now, round to nearest hundredth for $8.888 is $8.89.

Therefore, the unit rate is $8.89 /ft².
