Answer:

First number: 20

Second number: 30

Step-by-step explanation:

First#:   x

Second#:   y

Constraints:

   x + y = 50      

   1/4x + 2/3y = 25

Isolate variable y:

   x + y = 50    

  -1/4 (x + y = 50 )

 -1/4x - 1/4y = -12.5

  Add equations the two equations to eliminate x:

    -1/4x - 1/4y = -12.5

     1/4x + 2/3y = 25

  _________________

       5/12y = 12.5

           5y = 150

              y = 30

Substitution to find x:

       x + y = 50  

       x + 30 = 50

              x = 20

There are 3 types of gummy bears:

Using proportions, it is found that it takes 886 more mini-bears than regular-bears to have the same weight as one super-bear.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct(when both increase or both decrease) or inverse proportional(when one increases and the other decreases, or vice versa), can be built to find the desired measures in the problem, or equations to find these measures.

10 mini-bears weights to 12.1 grams, hence the weight of a mini-bear is of:

12.1/10 = 1.21 grams.

10 regular bears weights to 23.1 grams, hence the weight of a regular bear is of:

23.1/10 = 2.31 grams.

1 super bear weights to 2250 grams, hence the proportion between the <u>weight of a super bear and the weight of a mini-bear</u> is:

2250/1.21 = 1860.

The proportion between the <u>weight of a super bear and the weight of a regular bear</u> is:

2250/2.31 = 974.

The difference of proportions is given by:

1860 - 974 = 886.

It takes 886 more mini-bears than regular-bears to have the same weight as one super-bear.

A 2​-ft vertical post casts a 20​-in shadow at the same time a nearby cell phone tower casts a 125​-ft shadow. How tall is the c
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

1249. 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Pole length , Pl = 2 fts

Pole shadow, Ps = 20 in = (0.0833 * 20) = 1.666 ft

Tower length, Tl = 125 ft

Tower shadow, Ts = x

Pl / Ps = Tl/ Ts

2/ 1.666 = 125 / x

Cross multiply

2x = 125 * 1.666

2x = 208.25

x = 104.125 ft

x = 104.125 * 12 = 1249. 5 inches

Sami took six quizzes in science class. The grades for the quizzes are 86, 92, 79, 96, 80, and 95. What is the median grade?
mart [117]

Answer:

The median grade would be 89

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the median, first put the numbers all in ascending order.

79, 80, 86, 92, 95, 96

Now isolate the middle term or terms. Since there is an even amount of numbers, we pick the two in the middle. To find the median, we take an average of those terms.

(86 + 92)/2 = 89

Does 14 and 10 have the same factor
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:greatest common factor (GCF) of 10 and 14 is 2. We will now calculate the prime factors of 10 and 14, then find the greatest common factor (greatest common divisor (gcd)) of the numbers by matching the biggest common factor of 10 and 14.
