Answer:

The number of

Small candles = x = 12 candles

Large candles = y = 16 candles

Step-by-step explanation:

You sell small and large candles at a craft fair. You collect $144 selling a total of 28 candles. How many of each type of candle did you sell? A photo shows a small candle labeled 4 dollars each and a large candle labeled 6 dollars each.

Let the number of

Small candles = x

Large candles = y

Our system of equations is:

x + y = 28 .......... Equation 1

x = 28 - y

A photo shows a small candle labeled 4 dollars each and a large candle labeled 6 dollars each.

4x + 6y = 144......... Equation 2

Substitute 28 - y for x in Equation 2

4(28 - y) + 6y = 144

112 - 4y + 6y = 144

- 4y + 6y = 144 - 112

2y = 32

y = 32/2

y = 16 candles

x = 28 - y

x = 28 - 16

x = 12 candles

Therefore:

The number of

Small candles = x = 12 candles

Large candles = y = 16 candles

5. By using prime factorisation, determine if 324 and 588 are<br> perfect squares.
ad-work [718]

Step-by-step explanation:

first do prime factorization of 324= 2×2×3×3×3×3

= 2 square, 3 square,3 square

therefore 324 is a perfect square

Now,

prime factorization of 588=2×2×3×7×7

= 2 square,7 square ,3

therefore 588 is not a perfect square

Question:
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

part A) The scale factor of the sides (small to large) is 1/2

part B) Te ratio of the areas (small to large) is 1/4

part C) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) Determine the scale factor of the sides (small to large).

we know that

The dilation is a non rigid transformation that produce similar figures

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

so

Let

z ----> the scale factor

\frac{CB}{C'B'}=\frac{CD}{C'D'}=\frac{BD}{B'D'}

The scale factor is equal to

z=\frac{CB}{C'B'}

substitute

z=\frac{4}{8}

simplify

z=\frac{1}{2}

Part B) What is the ratio of the areas (small to large)?

<em>Area of the small triangle</em>

A=\frac{1}{2}(2)(4)=4\ units^2

<em>Area of the large triangle</em>

A=\frac{1}{2}(4)(8)=16\ units^2

ratio of the areas (small to large)

ratio=\frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{4}

Part C) Write a generalization about the ratio of the sides and the ratio of the areas of similar figures

In similar figures the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

In similar figures the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

-6h plus 4 - 3plus h equals 11
olga55 [171]

- 6h + 4 - 3 + h = 11
So we start by combining like terms;
- 6h + h =  - 5h
4 - 3 = 1
Now we have;
- 5h + 1 = 11
We then subtract 1 from both sides;
- 5h + 1 = 11
- 5h = 10
Then we divide both sides by 5;
- 5h = 10
- 5h \div  - 5h =  h
10 \div  - 5h =  - 2
Leaving the final answer to be h = -2

A hotel has 30 floors with 40 rooms per floor. The rooms on one side of the hotel face the water, while rooms on the other side
Ket [755]

A) Choosing a <em>stratified random sample</em> might be preferable to an <em>SRS </em>because;

<em><u>Stratified random sampling would divide the population into stratas but the </u></em>

<em><u>SRS would not do so. The strata would be the type of room namely those </u></em>

<em><u>with water view and those with golf view.</u></em>

B) The reason why a cluster sample would be a simpler option is because;

<u><em>It will divide the population into multiple clusters that makes it easier to </em></u>

<u><em>work with unlike the SRS that generalizes. The clusters would be each of </em></u>

<u><em>the 30 floors.</em></u>

We are told that the manager wanted to select 120 rooms and carry out a survey on each registered guest by asking how satisfied they were with the hotel. He decided to use a sampling method called SRS which means Simple Random Sampling.

Simple random sampling is defined as a sampling method where individuals or objects are selected randomly from a population thereby given each person or object an equal chance of selection.

A) Stratified Random sampling is a method of sampling that divides the population into smaller groups known as objects/stata. In this case Stratified random sampling would be preferred to SRS because the hotel rooms are divided into two types namely those that can view the water and those that can view the golf course and as such the Stratified random sampling would divide the population but the SRS would not do so.

B) Cluster sampling is when the population is divided into multiple groups known for assessment. The reason why it would be a simpler option is because there are 30 floors and they can be classified as clusters and surveyed per floor.
