Answer: 13 pairs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Jessica owns 18 pairs of shoes

Lindsay has 72% as many as Jessica

So, the number of pairs Lindsay owns

\Rightarrow 72\%\ \text{of}\ 18=0.72\times 18\\\\\Rightarrow 12.96\approx 13\ \text{pairs}

Lucy has some pennies and some nickels. She has a maximum of 15 coins worth a minimum of $0.47combined.If lucky has 6.9999999999
Verdich [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The worth of a penny is 1 cent = 1/100 = $0.01

The worth of a nickel is 5 cents = 5/100 = $0.05

Let x represent the number of pennies that she could have. Lucy has some pennies and some nickels. She has a maximum of 15 coins. If lucky has 6.999999999999999, it means that

6.999999999999999 + x ≥ 15

x ≥ 15 - 6.999999999999999

x ≥ 8

If the 15 coins worth a minimum of $0.47combined, it means that

0.05(6.999999999999999) + 0.01x ≤ 0.47

0.35 + 0.01x ≤ 0.47

0.01x ≤ 0.47 - 0.35

0.01x ≤ 0.12

x ≤ 0.12/0.01

x ≤ 12

Therefore, the possible values for the number of pennies that she could have is 8 ≤ x ≤ 12

Nate rented a power washer and a generator. On his first job, he used each piece of equipment for 6 hours which cost $90. On his
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

p = power washer and g = generator

6p + 6g = 90 .....multiply by 4

4p + 8g = 100 ....multiply by -6

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

24p + 24g = 360 (result of multiplying by 4)

-24p - 48g = -600 (result of multiplying by -6)

---------------------add

-24g = - 240

g = -240 / -24

g = 10 <=== the generator cost $ 10 per hr

6p + 6g = 90

6p + 6(10) = 90

6p + 60 = 90

6p = 90 - 60

6p = 30

p = 30/6

p = 5 <==== the power washer costs $ 5 per hr

check...

4p + 8g = 100

4(5) + 8(10) = 100

20 + 80 = 100

100 = 100 (correct)

Two points in the Cartesian plane are A(2.00 m, −4.00 m) and B(−3.00 m, 3.00 m). Find the distance between them and their polar
Brrunno [24]

The distance between the two points is d=8.6m

The polar coordinate of A is \left(4.47,296.57\right)

The polar coordinate of B is \left(4.24,135\right)

Explanation:

The two points are A(2,-4) and B(-3,3)

The distance between two points is given by,

d=\sqrt{(2+3)^{2}+(-4-3)^{2}}\\d=\sqrt{(5)^{2}+(-7)^{2}}\\d=\sqrt{25+49}\\d=8.6

Thus, the distance between the two points is d=8.6m

The polar coordinates of A can be written as (Distance, tan^{-1} \frac{y}{x} )

Distance = \sqrt{x^{2} +y^{2} }

Substituting A(2,-4), we get,

Distance = \sqrt{2^{2} +(-4)^{2} }=\sqrt{4+16 }=4.47

tan^{-1} \frac{y}{x} =tan^{-1} \frac{-4}{2}=-63.43

To make the angle positive, let us add 360,

\theta=360-63.43=296.57

The polar coordinate of A is \left(4.47,296.57\right)

Similarly, The polar coordinate of B can be written as (Distance, tan^{-1} \frac{y}{x} )

Distance = \sqrt{x^{2} +y^{2} }

Substituting B(-3,3), we get,

Distance = \sqrt{(3)^{2}+(3)^{2}}=4.24

tan^{-1} \frac{y}{x} =tan^{-1} \frac{3}{-3}=-45

To make the angle positive, let us add 360,

\theta=180-45=135^{\circ}

The polar coordinate of B is \left(4.24,135\right)
