On one day, 4 chefs and 5 helpers earned $650.

1 answer:

6 0

4c + 5h = 650 and

5c + 6h = 800 where c are chefs, h are helpers

Start by finding an expression for c

4c + 5h = 650
4c = 650 -5h
c = (650- 5h)/4

Then substitute that into the second equation and solve for a number value for h
5 (650-5h)/4 + 6h = 800
(3250-25h)/4 + 6h = 800
Multiply both sides by 4
3250-25h + 24h = 3200
-h = -50
h = 50

Take that 50 and substitute it into the expression we have for c to get a number value for c

C= 650-5(50)/4
C = 650-250/4
C = 400/4
C= 100

Check your first equations, substituting $50 for the helpers and $100 for the chefs.

4 (100) + 5(50) =
400 + 250 = 650

5(100) + 6(50) =
500 + 300 = 800

Help Please! And THANK YOU!

Semenov [28]

Answer:

$100$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3.75 \times 100}{1.50 \times 100} = \frac{375}{150}$

<h3>so the dividend and divisor were both multiplied by 100.</h3>

Please Help? A circle has an arc length of 5π in. The central angle for this arc measures π/3 radians. What is the area of the a

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The area of the associated sector is $\frac{25}{24}\pi \ in^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the radius of the circle

we know that

The circumference of a circle is equal to

$C=2\pi r$

we have

$C=5\pi\ in$

substitute and solve for r

$5\pi=2\pi r$

$r=2.5\ in$

step 2

Find the area of the circle

we know that

The area of the circle is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2}$

we have

$r=2.5\ in$

substitute

$A=\pi (2.5^{2})=6.25\pi\ in^{2}$

step 3

Find the area of the associated sector

we know that

$2\pi\ radians$ subtends the complete circle of area $6.25\pi\ in^{2}$

by proportion

Find the area of a sector with a central angle of $\pi/3\ radians$

$\frac{6.25\pi }{2\pi} =\frac{x}{\pi/3}\\x=6.25*(\pi/3)/2\\ \\x=\frac{25}{24}\pi \ in^{2}$
