Answer: 8,4, and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Jack bought 24 apples and divided them in the ratio of 2:1:3.

Suppose they get the number of apples as 2x,x,3x such that their ratio remains the same

\therefore 2x+x+3x=24\\\Rightarrow 6x=24\\\Rightarrow x=4

So, each person gets

2x=2\times 4=8\\x=4\\3x=3\times 4=12

Henry will need a total of 15 pints of paint. The 3 pints of yellow were multiplied by 3 to get 9 total, so 2 pints of red would
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

All answers are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Henry needs a total of 15 pints.

3 pints of yellow multiplied by 3 gives 9 pints of yellow, he needs 6 pints of red to get to 15, so he multiplies 2 pints of red by 3 to get 6 pints of red.

You add 9 + 6 to get the total of 15 pints he needs.

Find the greatest four digit square number by division method​
Agata [3.3K]
9999 is largest 4 digit number, and 100^2 is 10000, or 1 greater than the largest 4 digit number. This means that the closest square root of the largest perfect square is most likely 99. So 99^2 (9801)is the largest perfect square of four digits.

Write a function rule for the area of a triangle whose base is 4 ft more than the height. What is the area of the triangle when
solong [7]

Answer:

A) Area as function of H ,

     F'(a) = 2 +H

B) Area of triangle with height 6ft = 30 ft²      

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as for a triangle ,

Let the height of triangle = H ft

And base = 4 ft + H ft

Now area of triangle = \frac{1}{2} × height  × base

                          F (a) =  \frac{1}{2} × H × ( 4ft + H ft)

Or,                      F (a) =  \frac{1}{2} × ( 4H + H² )

Now,   here Area is function of height ,

So ,                    F'(a) = \frac{1}{2}(4 + 2H)

Hence Area as function of H ,

                          F'(a) = 2 +H

Now For height = 6 ft

Area of triangle = \frac{1}{2} × height × base

                          = \frac{1}{2} × H × ( 4ft + H ft)

                          = \frac{1}{2} × ( 4H + H² )

                          =  \frac{1}{2} × ( 24 + 36 )

                          = \frac{1}{2} × ( 60 )

                          = 30 ft²

Hence Area of triangle with height 6ft = 30 ft²      Answer

Given the function graphed below, what is the average rate of change between f(3) and f(7)?
Shkiper50 [21]
Answer: choice D) 20

-------------------------------

Explanation:

Locate 3 on the x axis number line. Draw a vertical line through 3 and this vertical line will cross the parabola at some point P. Mark this point P on the parabola. Then draw a horizontal line from P to the y axis. The horizontal line will land on y = 10. In short, this all shows us that (3,10) is a point on this parabola.

Repeat those steps above, but now for x = 7. You'll see that (7,90) is another point on this parabola.

We need to find the slope of the line through the two points (3,10) and (7,90). The average rate of change from x = 3 to x = 7 is the same as the slope of the line through those two points.

To find the slope, we use the slope formula
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the two points, and m is the slope

In this case,
(x1,y1) = (3,10) and (x2,y2) = (7,90)
further breaking down to
x1=3
y1=10
x2=7
y2=90
So we'll plug those four pieces of info into the equation and simplifying to get...
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (90 - 10)/(7 - 3)
m = 80/4
m = 20

The slope of the line is 20, so therefore, the average rate of change is 20.
