Answer:

4 eggs

Step-by-step explanation:

One and half hen=1 egg in two days

=3 hens(one and half +one and half)=two eggs in four days

6 hens(half a dozen is equal to 12 divided by 2=6)=? Eggs in six days

=the 6 hens divided by 3 hens =2

The two eggs gotten from the 3 hens + the other 2=4 eggs in six days

Answer:

72 eggs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s simplify the answer: if one and a half hens lay an egg in 18 hours, how many eggs will 6 hens lay in 6 days? So 18/3=6, and 6x2=12. One hen can lay an egg in 12 hours. Which means a hen can lay 2 eggs in one day. 2x6=12. So 6 hens can lay 12 eggs in one day. 12x6=72. In 6 days, 6 hens can lay 72 eggs

Given sin 0 and angle 0 is in Quadrant II, what is the exact value of cos 0 in

Anna007 [38]

sin = 3/7

1 = sin²0 + cos²0

cos²0 = 1 - 9/49

cos²0 = 40/49

cos0 = √(40) / 7

since its in Quadrant 2 the sin is positive and cos is negative

cos0 = - √(40) / 7

on the football team, two out of every seven players are seniors. if the team has 84 players, how many are not seniors.

zaharov [31]

There are 60 players on football team that are not seniors.

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1:

Given

Total students = 84

Also given that

2 out of 7 are seniors

Which is 2/7

So in order to find the total number of seniors we will multiply the whole number of students to 2/7

$Senior\ students = \frac{2}{7} * 84\\= 24$

So there are 24 seniors on the football team.

Players that are not seniors = 84 - 24 = 60

There are 60 players who are not seniors.

Method 2:

We can divide the total number by 7, to get how many sets of 7 players will be there

= 84/7 = 12

Now,

Multiplying 12 with 2 will give us the number of seniors in football team.

12*2 = 24 seniors

So,

Not seniors =84-24 = 60

Which of the following is the correct graph of the compound inequality 4p + 1 > −7 or 6p + 3 < 33?. . A.a number line with

r-ruslan [8.4K]

We are given compound inequality 4p + 1 > −7 or 6p + 3 < 33.

Let us solve each of the inequality one by one.

4p + 1 > −7

Subtracting 1 from both sides, we get

4p + 1-1 > -7-1

4p > -8

Dividing both sides by 4, we get

p > -2. (Shading right side for greater than sign)

Solving 6p + 3 < 33.

Subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

6p + 3-3 < 33-3.

6p < 30

Dividing both sides by 6, we get

p < 5. (Shading left for less than sign)

We have less than and greater than symbols in both inequalities, therefore we would have open circles(dots) on -2 and 5.

And because we have "OR" composite inequality.

So, we would take the combination of both shaded portion.

<h3>Therefore, correct option is C.number line with shading everywhere.. </h3>

IS THIS RIGHT JUST ANSWER YES OR NO

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 + 2x^2 - 9x - 18 = x^2(x + 2) - 9(x + 2) = (x + 2)*(x^2 - 9)

(x + 2)/(x + 2)(x^2 - 9) = 1 / (x^2 - 9)

==============

1/(x^2 - 9) * (x^2 - 9)/(3x + 1) = 1/(3x + 1)

Yes B is correct.
