Answer:

He bought 544 oranges and 1,360 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the number of oranges and apples bought

Let the number of oranges be x and the number of apples be y

Looking at their ratios;

x:y = 2:5

so;

x/y = 2/5

2y = 5x ••••••(i)

Now, he lost 3/4 of the apples ( by giving out)

What would be left with him is (1-3/4) = 1/4 * y = 0.25y

What is left with him out if the oranges will be; x-34

So now;

0.25y/x-34 = 2/3

3(0.25y) = 2(x-34) •••••••(ii)

From i, y = 5x/2 = 2.5x

Putting this into ii above, we have

3(0.25)(2.5x) = 2x - 68

1.875x = 2x-68

2x-1.875x = 68

0.125x = 68

x = 68/0.125

x = 544

But y = 2.5x

y = 2.5 * 544 = 1,360

Which of the following is a true statement?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

The last choice: 68/5 - 22/5 = 9 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve each problem:

9 3/7 = 10 3/7

The fractions are the same so look at the whole numbers.

Does 9 equal 10? No, it doesn't so this is a false statement.

332/4 = 1/83

Simplify 332/4:

332/4 = 83/1

83 does not equal 1/83 so this is a false statement.

37/5 = 5 2/5

Convert the improper fraction into a mixed number:

7 2/5 = 5 2/5

These numbers do not equal each other so this is a false.

68/5 - 22/5 = 9 1/5

Subtract the numerators on the left side of the equation:

46/5 = 9 1/5

Convert the improper fraction into a mixed number:

9 1/5 = 9 1/5

These numbers equal each other so this is a true statement!

<h3>Answer:</h3>

  a.  -(3√13)/13

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The cosine can be found from the tangent by way of the secant.

  tan(θ)² +1 = sec(θ)² = 1/cos(θ)²

Then ...

  cos(θ) = ±1/√(tan(θ)² +1)

The <em>cosine is negative in the second quadrant</em>, so we will choose that sign.

  cos(θ) = -1/√((-2/3)² +1) = -1/√(4/9 +1) = -1/√(13/9)

  cos(θ) = -3/√13 = -(3√13)/13 . . . . . matches your selection A

(b) A line has the equation y = 6x + 11
marin [14]

Hi, to begin, the ordered pair value (-3, 15) has an x-value of -3. So, to see if it lies on the line of your equation y = 6x + 11, plug -3 in for x. This gives you y = 6(-3) + 11 = -7 So the ordered pair answer for this would be (-3, -7) and not (-3, 15). So the answer is no.
