Answer:

88 half gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem by creating an equation. First we will need a variable. Since we are trying to find how many half gallons the store bought, that will be what our variable represents.

Let g = the number of half gallons

Since the store bought milk for $2.60 per half gallon, the amount of money they spent will be 2.6g.

The remaining milk is sold for $4.08 per half gallon. Remember, the store lost 15 half gallons so the number of gallons is currently g-15. This means that to find the amount of profit they made, we use 4.08(g-15).

We already know that the profit is $69.04, so we can make this into an equation.

This profit is the amount of money made minus the cost.

4.08(g-15) - 2.6g = 69.04

We can begin to solve this by simplifying the left side.

4.08(g-15) - 2.6g

4.08g - 61.2 - 2.6g

1.48g - 61.2

This makes our new equation:

1.48g - 61.2 = 69.04

We can begin to isolate our variable, g, by adding 61.2 to both sides.

1.48g = 130.24

Then we divide both sides by 1.48.

g = 88

Kelsey drew a rectangle with the same area as the square. The length of Kelsey's rectangle is 8 inches. What is the perimeter in
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:  The answer is 20 inches.


Step-by-step explanation:  As given in the question and shown in the attached figure, Keyley drew the rectangle 'R' and square 'S' with equal areas.

Also, the length of Keyley's rectangle 'R' = 8 inches. Let the breadth be 'b' inches. Again, let 'l' be the length of a side of square 'S'.

Then, we must have

8\times b=\ell^2.

Now, the only possible value of b is 2, so that

\ell^2=16\\\\\Rightarrow \ell=4.

Thus, the breadth of 'R' is b = 2 inches and side of 'S' = 4 inches.

Therefore, perimeter of Keyley's rectangle 'R' is given by

p=8+2+8+2=20~\textup{inches}.

Thus, the answer is 20 inches.

Let C(x) be the statement "x has a cat", let D(x) be the statement "x has a dog" and let F(x) be the statement "xhas a ferret".
Arturiano [62]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

C(x) be the statement "x has a cat"

D(x) be the statement "x has a dog"

F(x) be the statement "x has a ferret".

Universe = x = all students in your class.

a) A student in your class has a cat, a dog and a ferret   = ∃x(C(x) ∧ D(x) ∧ F(x))

b) All students in your class have a cat, a dog, or a ferret  =  ∀x(C(x) ∨ D(x) ∨ F(x))

c) Some students in your class has a cat and a ferret but not a dog  = ∃x (C(x) ∧ F(x) ∧ ¬D(x))

d) No student in this class has a cat, a dog and a ferret  ¬∃x (C(x) ∧ D(x) ∧ F(x))

e) For each of the three animals, cats, dogs and ferrets, there is as student in your class who has one of the three animals.  (∃xC(x)) ∧ (∃xD(x)) ∧ (∃xF(x))
