Ally's tricycle has two different wheel sizes: one larger wheel and two smaller wheels. As Ally travels the distance between her

house and her neighbor's house on the tricycle, the larger wheel revolves 10 times and each of the smaller wheels revolve 25 times. If half the circumference of the larger wheel is 5 inches more than the circumference of one of the smaller wheels, what is the distance, in inches, traveled by the tricycle between Ally's house and her neighbor's house?

Answer:

500 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C₁ and n₁ be the circumference and the number of rotations of the larger wheel. Also, let C₂ and n₂ be the circumference and the number of rotations of the smaller wheel. Since the distance moved by both wheels from Ally's house to her neighbor's house is the same, n₁C₁ = n₂C₂. (1)

Also it is given that half the circumference of the larger wheel is 5 inches more than the circumference of one of the smaller wheels.

So, C₁/2 = C₂ + 5

C₁ = 2(C₂ + 5)  (2)

Substituting C₁ into (1), we have

n₁C₁ = n₂C₂.

n₁[2(C₂ + 5)] = n₂C₂.

Since n₁ = 10 and n₂ = 25, we have

10[2(C₂ + 5)] = 25C₂

20(C₂ + 5) = 25C₂

expanding the bracket,

20C₂ + 100 = 25C₂

collecting like terms, we have

25C₂ - 20C₂ = 100

5C₂ = 100

dividing both sides by 5, we have

C₂ = 100/5

= 20 inches

So, the distance between Ally's house and her neighbor's house is d = n₂C₂ = 25(20)

= 500 inches

At a particular fast food restaurant, tacos cost $1.29 and
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Michael bought 18 tacos and 9 burritos.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since at a particular fast food restaurant, tacos cost $ 1.29 and burritos cost $ 2.19, and Michael spent a total of $ 42.93 at the restaurant to buy food for a party, if he purchased half as many burritos as tacos, to determine how many tacos did he buy, the following calculation must be performed:

1.29 x 20 + 2.19 x 10 = 47.7

1.29 x 16 + 2.19 x 8 = 38.16

1.29 x 18 + 2.19 x 9 = 42.93

So Michael bought 18 tacos and 9 burritos.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Minimum percent of the vote that candidate Towne is expected to recieve:

m=51% - 6.3% * 51% =47.787%

Maximum percent of the vote that candidate Towne is expected to recieve:

M=51% + 6.3% * 51% = 54.213%

Solution:

Margin of error: E=6.3%

Minimum percent of the vote that candidate Towne is expected to recieve:

m=51% - E * 51%

m=51% - 6.3% * 51%

m=51% - 51% * 6.3 / 100

m=51% - 3.213%

m=47.787%

Maximum percent of the vote that candidate Towne is expected to recieve:

M=51% + E * 51%

M=51% + 6.3% * 51%

M=51% + 51% * 6.3 / 100

M=51% + 3.213%

M=54.213%

An are whose measure is exactly 180°​
Elenna [48]

Answer:

<u><em>Mmeasure is exactly 180°​</em></u>

semi-circle because the measure of a whole circle is 360°.

<u><em> Arc :</em></u>

The arc of a circle consists of two points on the circle and all of the points on the circle that lie between those two points. It's like a segment that was wrapped partway around a circle. An arc is measured not by its length (although it can be, of course) but most often by the measure of the angle whose vertex is the center of the circle and whose rays intercept the endpoints of the arc. Hence an arc can be anywhere from 0 to 360 degrees.
