Answer:

There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

x = Number of gold coins in a chest

1/2x = Number of gold coins taken by the captain

1/4x = Number of gold coins taken by Sally

3 = Number of gold coins left

2. How many coins were in the chest at the start?

Let's write the following equation to solve for x:

1/2x + 1/4x + 3 = x

2x + x + 12 = 4x (Lowest Common Denominator is 4)

4x - 2x - x = 12 (Like terms)

x = 12

There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.

Hope this helps :D

Which equation justifies why nine to the one third power equals the cube root of nine?
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

nine to the one third power all raised to the third power equals nine raised to the one third times three power equals nine

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The <u><em>Power of a Power Property</em></u> , states that :To find a power of a power, multiply the exponents

so

(a^{b})^{c}=a^{b*c}

In this problem we have

9^{\frac{1}{3}} =\sqrt[3]{9}

Remember that

\sqrt[3]{9}=9^{\frac{1}{3}}

Raise to the third power

[9^{\frac{1}{3}}]^3

Applying the power of power property

9^{\frac{3}{3}}

9^{1}

9

therefore

nine to the one third power all raised to the third power equals nine raised to the one third times three power equals nine

A and B solve please
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

a) $7.27344

b) 263.974 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

+) 1 day = 24 hours

+) The cost for 1000 watts each hour is $0.05051 so that each hour use of 1 watt costs: $0.05051 / 1000 = $0.00005051

+) Each hour, each electric heater uses 1200 watts costs: $0.00005051  x 1200 = $0.060612

=> In 24 hours, to heat each electricity heater costs: $0.060612 x 24 = $1.454688

=> In 24 hours, to heat 5 electricity heaters costs: $1.454688 x 5 = $7.27344

<em>So that it costs $7.27344 to heat her house for 1 day</em>

<em />

b)

As calculated, the cost to use 1 watt in one hour is $0.00005051

=> The cost to use 75 watts in one hour is: $0.00005051 x 72 = $0.00378825

Assume that the hours of using 72 watts to cost $1 is x (hour)

So that: $0.00378825 * x = $1

=> x = 1/ 0.00378825= 263.974 hours

<em>It takes 263.974 hours for a 75-watt lightbulb to stay on to result in $1 electricity charges</em>

Which two events are independent? A.) go sledding, snow B.) sleep,dream C.) count to 100, fix a bike D.) do chores, earn allowan
Alchen [17]

Answer:

A and C

Step-by-step explanation:

The meaning of an event being independent is that one event doesn't effect the probability of they other event happening. So B is wrong because whether yo sleep or not can affect whether you dream or not and D is wrong because you earning and allowance is based off whether you do your chores or not.
