You are going to get the rate of the detects.
6 detects ÷ 114 light bulbs = 1/19 detects per light bulb
If there are 720 light bulbs, then the number of detects will be
720 light bulbs * 1/19 detects per light bulb = 37. 89 ≈ 38 detects
Answer:
4 is hypotenuse
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a= 200
b = 210
Step-by-step explanation:
My assumption is, we have to find the length of sides of rectangle
Given
perimeter = 2a + 2b = 820 ft (i) (here a is smaller side and b is larger side)
area = a*b = 42,000 ft^2 (ii)
from eq (1)
2a + 2b = 820
=> 2(a+b) = 820
=> a+b = 820/2
=> a + b = 410
=> a = 410-b (iii)
putting the value of a in eq(ii), we get
(410-b) *b = 42,000
410b - b^2 = 42,000
0 = b^2 - 410b + 42000
b^2 - 410b + 42000 = 0
b^2- 200b- 210b + 42000 = 0
b(b-200)-210(b-200) = 0
(b-200)(b-210) = 0
or
b= 210 and b = 200
if b is larger side than b =210
By putting value of b in eq(iii),
a = 410 -210 = 200
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:
x = number of quarters
y = number of dimes
We now write the system of equations:
x + y = 28
0.25x + 0.10y = 4.05
Solving the system of equations we have:
x = 8.33
y = 19.66
Rounding:
x = 8
y = 20
Answer:
the college student has:
8 quarters
20 dimes
