Answer:

Out of the 8 dimes found Frank gives Grant 1 dime and he gives Stan 7 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters of the question are;

The number of candy bars Grant had = 3 candy bars

The number of candy bars Stan had = 5 candy bars

The candy was shared equally between them and Frank

The amount Frank found and wants to use to pay his brothers = 8 dimes

The total number of candies = 3 candy bars + 5 candy bars = 8 candy bars

The number of candy each of the three brothers received = 8/3 candies each

The amount of candy given by Grant = 3 - 8/3 = 1/3 parts of candy

The amount of candy given by Stan = 5 - 8/3 = 7/3 candy parts

Therefore, of the 8/3 part of candy Frank received, 1/3 was from Grant and 7/3 was from Stan

We have;

8/3 candy parts = 8 × 1/3 candy parts

1/3 candy part = 1 × 1/3 candy part

7/3 candy part = 7 × 1/3 candy parts

The candy Frank received can be split into 8 parts of 1/3 candy parts with 1 part from grant and 7 parts from Stan

Therefore, Frank should give 1 dime to Grant and 7 dimes to Stan for the number of candy parts received from each of the brothers

According to astronomers, what is a "light year" answer key

liberstina [14]

A light-year is defined as the distance the light can cover in one year.

The light travels at speed of $c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s$ , and one year converted into seconds is
$1 y = 365 \frac{d}{y} \cdot 24 \frac{h}{d} \cdot 60 \frac{m}{h} \cdot 60 \frac{s}{m}=3.15 \cdot 10^7 s$

So the distance covered by the light in one year is
$S=vt =(3 \cdot 10^8 m/s)(3.15 \cdot 10^7 s)=9.45 \cdot 10^{15} m$
And this is the distance that corresponds to one light-year.

Answer:

15, 8, 25 The teacher payed 0.40 per book.

Step-by-step explanation:

4/10 = 2/5 Simplify the 4/10 to find the unit rate.

15: 2/5 = 6/x Set up your proportion.

2x =30 Cross multiply

/2 /2 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x

x =15

8: 2/5 = x/20 Set up proportion

40 =5x Cross multiply

/5 /5 Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x

8 =x

25: 2/5 = 10/x Set up proportion

2x =50 Cross multiply

/2 /2 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x

x =25

Graph: y=mx+b To graph, you will need to use y=mx+b format

y= 2/5 x+2 2/5 is your unit rate. Your rate changes every 2 books bought. To graph, start at (0,2) and go up 2 and to the right 5, plot. Continue moving up 2 and to the right 5 to graph.

The teacher payed 0.40 per book because 2/5 simplifies to 0.40.

Using an ordered alphabet of 26 letters, how many ways are there to choose a set of six letters such that no two letters in the

mestny [16]

To find our solution, we can start off by creating a string of 27 boxes, all followed by the letters of the alphabet. Underneath the boxes, we can place 6 pairs of boxes and 15 empty boxes.The stars represent the six letters we pick. The empty boxes to the left of the stars provide the "padding" needed to ensure that no two adjacent letters are chosen. We can create this -
$\binom {21} {6}= \frac{21*20*19*18*17*16}{6*5*4*3*2*1} =21*19*17*8=54264$
Thus, the answer is that there are $\boxed{54264}$ ways to choose a set of six letters such that no two letters in the set are adjacent in the alphabet. Hope this helped and have a phenomenal New Year! <em>2018</em>

Given csc A= 37/12 and that angle A is in Quadrant I, find the exact value of sec A in

vredina [299]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Below is the pic of how this would be set up in order to determine what it is you are looking for. The angle is set in QI, and since csc A is the reciprocal of sin, the ratio is hypotenuse over side opposite. Solve for the missing side using Pythagorean's Theorem:

$37^2=12^2+b^2$ and

1369 = 144 + b² and

1225 = b² so

b = 35

The sec ratio is the reciprocal of cos, so if cos is adjacent over hypotenuse, the sec is hypotenuse over adjacent, which is 37/35

If the parent function f(x) = (2x − 3)3 is transformed to g(x) = (-2x + 3)3, which type of transformation occurs? A. vertical sh

exis [7]

Answer:

The answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

We have f(x) function as below:

$f(x)=(2x-3)^3$

and the converted function g(x) is as mentioned below:

$g(x)=(-2x+3)^3$

We can observe that:

f(x)=-g(x)

Therefore it can be said that this function reflected horizontally.

Note: please check the plot attached.
