The number of guests coming to Doug McDougal party can be calculated to be 23 people.
<h3>What number of people are coming?</h3>
Doug invited 138 guests and out of this, only 1/6 will be coming.
The number of people coming is therefore:
= Number invited x Proportion coming
Solving gives:
= 138 x 1/6
= 23 people

With the given information, we can create several equations:
120 = 12x + 2y
150 = 10x + 10y
With x being the number of rose bushes, and y being the number of gardenias.
To find the values of the variables, we can use two methods: Substitution or Elimination
For this case, let us use elimination. To begin, let's be clear that we are going to be adding these equations together. Therefore, in order to get the value of one variable, we must cancel one of them out - it could be x or y, it doesn't matter which one you decide to cancel out. Let's cancel the x out:
We first need to multiply the equations by numbers that would cause the x's to cancel out - and this can be done as follows:
-10(120 = 12x + 2y)
12(150 = 10x + 10y) => Notice how one of these is negative
Multiply out:
-1200 = -120x - 20y
+ 1800 = 120x + 120y => Add these two equations together
---------------------------------
600 = 100y
Now we can solve for y:
y = 6
With this value of y known, we can then pick an equation from the beginning of the question, and plug y in to solve for x:
120 = 12x + 2y => 120 = 12x + 2(6)
Now we can solve for x:
120 = 12x + 12 => 108 = 12x
x = 9
So now we know that x = 9, and y = 6.
With rose bushes being x, we now know that the cost of 1 rose bush is $9.
With gardenias being y, we now know that the cost of 1 gardenia is $6.
Answer:
(i) 15 m, 6 m/s
(ii) 90 m
Step-by-step explanation:
(i) For some acceleration (a) from rest, the distance covered (d) in time t is ...
d = (1/2)at^2
The distance covered by Ben in the 5 seconds he is accelerating is ...
d = (1/2)(1.2 m/s²)(5 s)² = 15 m
Of course, Ben's speed at that point is ...
s = (1.2 m/s²)(5 s) = 6 m/s
__
(ii) When Ben has been walking 5 s, Alan has been walking 10 s, so Alan has covered (10 s)(4 m/s) = 40 m. Their distance difference of 40 -15 = 25 m is being made up at the rate of their speed differences: (6 m/s) -(4 m/s) = 2 m/s.
It will take (25 m)/(2 m/s) = 12.5 s additional time for Ben to catch Alan. In the 22.5 s that Alan has been walking before they meet, he will have walked ...
(22.5 s)(4 m/s) = 90 m . . . the distance OP
