Answer:

He can buy 3 scoops of salts and 4 scoops of pepper or 4 scoops of salts and 3 scoops of pepper spent maximum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The cost of salt = 50 cents / scoop =$ 0.5 / scoop

The cost of pepper =75 cents / scoop = $ 0.75 / scoop

Let he buys x scoops of salt and y scoops of pepper.

As he plans to bring home no more than 8 scoops of seasoning, so

x+y\leq8\cdots(i)

The total cost of x scoops of salt and y scoops of pepper = 0.5x+0.75y

As he wants to spend less than $5, so

0.5x+0.75y

Here, x\geq 0, y \geq 0 and x,y are counting numbers.

On plotting the graph of equations (ii) and (ii), the possible solution is the integral values in the shaded as shown in the figure.

The maximum possible integral values, for expances less than $5, are (x,y)=(3,4), (4,3).

Hence, he can buy 3 scoops of salts and 4 scoops of pepper or 4 scoops of salts and 3 scoops of pepper to spent maximum.

The cost (in dollars) of making b bracelets is represented by 4 5b. The cost (in dollars) of making b necklaces is represented b
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

$(3b+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of making b bracelets = 4+5b

The cost  of making b necklaces = 8b+6.

To determine how much more it cost to make b necklaces than b bracelets, we simply subtract.

Extra Cost = Cost of b Necklaces-Cost of b Bracelets

=(8b+6)-(4+5b)

open the brackets

=8b+6-4-5b

Collect like terms

=8b-5b+6-4

=3b+2

It costs $(3b+2) more to make b necklaces than b bracelets.

((I RAISED THE POINTS AND THIS IS MULTIPLE CHOICE))
NeTakaya

Answer:

B and D

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequences and series. A geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers that follows a pattern were the next term is found by multiplying by a constant called the common ratio, r.

an = ar^(n-1)

d) 1/3, 2/3, 4/3, 8/3, 16/3, . . . .

1/3 * 2 = 2/3

2/3 * 2 = 4/3

4/3 * 2 = 8/3

where r = 2, constant multiplier is 2.  //Answer

b)  320, 80, 20, 5, 1.25, . . . . .

320 * 1/4 = 80

80 * 1/4 = 20

20 * 1/4 = 5

r = 1/4 //Answer

Answer: B and D

//Hope this helps.

What expressions are equivalent to 10^-5x10^2
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Answer= D and E

Step-by-step explanation:

(for two powers multiplied together we add them)

10^{-5}×10^{2}

=10^{-5+2}

=10^{-3}

this is the same as:

=\frac{1}{10^{3} } =\frac{1}{1000} (as x^{-y} is the same as \frac{1}{x^{y} })

or

(\frac{1}{10})^{3} (as this is the same as \frac{1}{10}×\frac{1}{10}×\frac{1}{10} which is equal to \frac{1}{1000} the answer for the question)
