Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the number of caterpillars.

Since each catepillar eats 7 leaves,

Wesley have 7n number of leaves.

In this case 7n = 42, so n = 6.

Answer: 7n = 42, n = 6.

Explanation:

Every caterpillar eats 7 milkweed leaves. That means n is the number of caterpillars Wesley feeds every day. Since we know 7n is equal to 42, n = 6 because 42 ÷ 7 = 6.

On his outward journey, Ali travelled at a speed of s km/h for 2.5 hours. On his return journey, he increased his speed by 4 km/
den301095 [7]

Answer:

3.08 km/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}

Ali traveled at a speed of s km/h for 2.5 hours.

Let d be the distance and t be the time.

2.5=\dfrac{d}{t}

2.5t=d      ...(1)

On his return journey, he increased his speed by 4 km/h and saved 15 minutes. So, distance is d and times is t-15.

4=\dfrac{d}{t-15}

4(t-15)=d      ...(2)

From (1) and (2), we get

4(t-15)=2.5t

4t-60-2.5t=0

1.5t=60

t=40

Put t=40 in (1).

d=2.5(40)=100

So, t=40 and d=100.

Now,

Total distance = d + d = 100 + 100 = 200

Total time = t + t - 15 = 40 + 40 - 15 = 65

So, the average speed is

\text{Average speed}=\dfrac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total time}}

\text{Average speed}=\dfrac{200}{65}

\text{Average speed}\approx 3.08

Therefore, the average speed is 3.08 km/h.

Simplify the expression. (3.5x - 5) + (7.2x + 10)
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

10.7x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

(3.5x - 5) + (7.2x + 10)

Take out the parenthesis so it can be easier to see

3.5x - 5 + 7.2x + 10

Combine like terms

(3.5x and 7.2x) and ( -5 and 10)

10.7x + 5

And you cannot simplify it anymore

Hope this helped!

Please help me this is important
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

C. II, III, and IV only

Step-by-step explanation:

Lol I haven't done one of these in a while, so thanks for the practice!

It's important to note that a dilation does NOT change the angles of the shape whatsoever. By this, you know that II and III are automatically correct, which rules out A and B. After that, you can look at I, which is the only difference between C and D. Since the dilation factor is 2/3, the parallelogram you see is smaller than the original. Since in I, the original would be larger than the denominator, the correct answer would be at least greater than one (to be precise, it'd be 3/2). To make everything easier, you can find the value by assigning the original side a value of 1, which would make the prime value 2/3. 1/(2/3) is going to be 3/2.
