Answer:

  1. $1000
  2. $600
  3. $250

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the third-place prize value. Then the first place prize has a value of 2t+500, and the second-place prize is 2t+100. The total value of the three prizes is ...

  t +(2t+500) +(2t+100) = 1850

  5t +600 = 1850

  5t = 1250

  t = 250 . . . . . . . . . . . third place prize

  2t +500 = 1000 . . . . first place prize

  1000 -400 = 600 . . .second place prize

The prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places are $1000, $600, and $250, respectively.

A parking space is 20 feet long. A pickup truck is 6 yards long. How many inches longer is the parking space than the truck
masya89 [10]

1 yard = 3 feet.

Multiply the length of the truck by 3 to get total feet:

6 x 3 = 18 feet.

Subtract the length of the truck from the length of the parking space:

20 - 18 = 2 feet

1 foot = 12 inches.

Multiply 2 feet by 12:

2 x 12 = 24 inches longer.

The number of bacteria in petri dish A doubles every 10 minutes. The number of bacteria in oetri dish B doubles every 6 minites.
marissa [1.9K]
Givens
Petri Dish A sees a double ever 10 minutes
Petri Dish B sees a double ever 6 minutes

Consequences
A doubles 60 / 10 = 6 times.
B doubles 60 / 6 = 10 times.

Solution
If you work best with numbers then suppose there are 100 bacteria in both dishes at the beginning
A = 100 * 2^6
B = 100 * 2^10

A will have 100 * 64 = 6400 bacteria growing inside A
B will have 100 * 1024 = 102400 bacteria growing inside B

B/A = 102400 / 6400 = 16

There are 16 times as many in B than in A. <<<< Answer

P and a are both prime numbers. Find the values of p and q so that 6*54*p/q is a perfect cube.
daser333 [38]

6x54= 324

6x50=300

6x4=24

300+24=324

The previous nearest cube root is 216 and the next cube root would be 343.

p/q could be any prime number which there are a lot of.

im going to say p is 1 and q is 3

next you would divide 1 by 3

1/3=0.666666667

324x0.666666667=216 exact
