Answer:

216 animals

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number of each type of animal.

Since there are two horses for every horse trough, then n must be divisible by 2. Since there are three cows for every cow trough, then n must be divisible by 3. Since there are eight pigs for every pig trough, then n must be divisible by 8. Therefore, n must be divisible by 2, 3 and 8. The smallest number divisible by 2, 3, and 8 is 24. (This number is called the lowest common multiple or LCM, for short.)

If there are 24 of each kind of animal, there would be 24 ÷ 2 = 12 troughs for horses, 24 ÷ 3 = 8 troughs for cows and 24 ÷ 8 = 3 troughs for pigs. This would require a total of 12 + 8 + 3 = 23 troughs. Since there are 69 troughs and

69 ÷ 23 = 3, we require 3 times more of each type of animal. That is, there would be 24 × 3 = 72 of each type of animal. The total number of animals is 72+72+72 or 216.

Therefore, McDonald has 216 animals.

Hope this helps :)

Ken’s predicted temperature for April is 7ºC. His prediction for May is 2ºC higher than April. He used the number line to solve
tia_tia [17]

Answer: Ken Should have moved 9 units to the right because his prediction for May is 9°C. Moving to the left part of the number line would take Ken into negative degrees. 9°C is warmer than 7°C. Therefore, Ken should have moved 9 units to the right of the number line instead of 2 units to the left.

a student walks 8 steps east 6 steps northeast 9 steps north west what is her displacement? include magnitude and direction
kati45 [8]

The displacement is 18.03 steps, and the direction is 47.25°

<h3>How to get the displacement?</h3>

We know that displacement is the difference between the final position and the initial position.

We assume the initial position (0, 0). Let's define the positive x-axis as the east and the positive y-axis as the north.

First, the student moves 8 steps east, so she is at:

(0 + 8, 0)

Then she moves 6 steps northeast, so the new position is:

(6*cos(45°) + 8,  6*cos(45°))

Finally, she moves 9 steps due north, so we have:

(6*cos(45°) + 8,  6*cos(45°) + 9)

Then the final position is:

(12.24, 13.24)

So the displacement is:

D = (12.24, 13.24) - (0, 0) =  (12.24, 13.24)

The magnitude of the displacement is:

|D| = \sqrt{12.24^2 + 13.24^2} = 18.03

So the magnitude is 18.03 steps.

And the direction is given by the arctangent of the quotient between the y-component and the x-component:

\theta = Arctg(13.24/12.24) = 47.25 \°

Consider the following.3x + 3y = 8(a) Find y' by implicit differentiation.(b) Solve the equation explicitly for y and differenti
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

a.y'=-1

b.y'=-1

c.Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that consider a function

3x+3y=8

Implicit function: That function is a relation in which dependent variable can not be expressed in terms of independent variable

Explicit function: It is that function in which dependent variable can be expressed in terms of independent variable.

a.3x+3y=8

Differentiate w.r.t x then we get

3+3\frac{dy}{dx}=0

3\frac{dy}{dx}=-3

\frac{dy}[dx}=\frac{-3}{3}=-1

\frac{dy}{dx}=y'=-1

b.3x+3y=8

3y=8-3x

y=\frac{8-3x}{3}

Differentiate w.r.t x then we get

\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{-3}{3}=-1

\frac{dy}{dx}=y'=-1

When we substituting the value of y obtained from part b into a solution of part a then we get

y'=-1

Hence, solutions are consistent.
