Answer:

39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, total rooms girls booked be x and total rooms girls booked be y.

entire hotel was booked except two rooms.

so, total = 158-2 = 156

x+ y = 156

this is equation 1.

also, girls are using three times more room than boys.

so, y=3x

substituting y=3x in 1st equation,

x+ 3x = 156

or, 4x = 156

or, x= 156/4

x= 39

At 3 p.m. an oil tanker traveling west in the ocean at 14 kilometers per hour passes the same spot as a luxury liner that arrive
schepotkina [342]
<span>N(t) = 16t ; Distance north of spot at time t for the liner. W(t) = 14(t-1); Distance west of spot at time t for the tanker. d(t) = sqrt(N(t)^2 + W(t)^2) ; Distance between both ships at time t. Let's create a function to express the distance north of the spot that the luxury liner is at time t. We will use the value t as representing "the number of hours since 2 p.m." Since the liner was there at exactly 2 p.m. and is traveling 16 kph, the function is N(t) = 16t Now let's create the same function for how far west the tanker is from the spot. Since the tanker was there at 3 p.m. (t = 1 by the definition above), the function is slightly more complicated, and is W(t) = 14(t-1) The distance between the 2 ships is easy. Just use the pythagorean theorem. So d(t) = sqrt(N(t)^2 + W(t)^2) If you want the function for d() to be expanded, just substitute the other functions, so d(t) = sqrt((16t)^2 + (14(t-1))^2) d(t) = sqrt(256t^2 + (14t-14)^2) d(t) = sqrt(256t^2 + (196t^2 - 392t + 196) ) d(t) = sqrt(452t^2 - 392t + 196)</span>

A fruit stand has 28 apples, 20 oranges, and 12 pears. What is the ratio of apples to the total pieces of fruit?
ruslelena [56]
Data:
Apples = 28
Oranges = 20
Pears = 12

<span>What is the ratio of apples to the total pieces of fruit?
Solving:
</span>\frac{apples}{apples+oranges+pears} =  \frac{28}{28+20+12} =  \frac{28}{60} \frac{\div4}{\div4} \to\:\boxed{\boxed{ratio = \frac{7}{15}}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark<span>

Tara had $350 in her bank account she received three birthday checks for $35 each and but bought two new video games for $41 eac
goldfiish [28.3K]

We conclude that the final amount that she has in her bank account is $375.

<h3>How much has Tara in her bank account now?</h3>

Here we need to perform some additions and subtractions. We know that Tara starts with $350 in her account.

Then she received 3 checks for $35 each, so at this point she has:

$350 + 3*$35 = $455

Now she buys 2 video games for $41 each, so we need to subtract two times $41, we will get:

$455 - 2*$41 = $375

We conclude that the final amount that she has in her bank account is $375.
