Answer:

i got 70

Step-by-step explanation:

Brain 4 Brain gets 42 more sweets Sara

Pip 5 How many sweets does Pip get?

Sara 1

when b = s + 42 find p b = 4s p = 5s

4s = s + 42 b/4 = s p = 5b/4

3s = 42

s = 14 b = 56 p = 70

I initially found the answer by trail and error, then I could figure out the equation.

s b p

10 40 50

16 64 90

14 56 70

At a concert 5/9 of the people in line are girls. 2/3 are wearing glasses, what fraction of the people are wearing glasses?

Setler79 [48]

The girl bit doesn't really matter except for how it says 5/9 which shows that you should factor it by 3's. If you multiply both the 2 and the 3 in 2/3 you would clearly get 6/9. Which is the same thing but is to get it matching with how the question wrote about the people wearing glasses.

Answer: 6/9 people

In a murder investigation, the temperature of a corpse was 32.5 degrees C at 1:30 pm and 30.3 degrees C an hour later. Normal bo

svp [43]

Let $T(t)$ be the temperature of the body $t$ hours after 1:30 PM. Then $T(0) = 32.5$ and $T(1) = 30.3$ .

Using Newton's Law of Cooling, $\dfrac{dT}{dt} = k(T - T_s)$ , we have $\dfrac{dT}{dt} = k(T-20)$ . Now let $y = T - 20$ , so
$y(0) = T(0) - 20 = 32.5 - 20 = 12.5$ , so $y$ is a solution to the initial value problem $dy/dt = ky$ with $y(0) = 12.5$ .
By separating and integrating, we have $y(t) = y(0)e^{kt} = 12.5e^{kt}$ .

$y(1) = 30.3 - 20\ \Rightarrow\ 12.5e^{k(1)} = e^{k} = \frac{10.3}{12.5}\ \Rightarrow \\
k = \ln \frac{10.3}{12.5}
$

$y(t) = 37 - 20\ \Rightarrow\ 12.5e^{kt} = 17\ \Rightarrow\ e^{kt} = \frac{10.3}{12.5} \ \Rightarrow \\ \\
kt = \ln \frac{10.3}{12.5}\ \Rightarrow\ t = \left( \ln \frac{17}{12.5} \right)/ \frac{10.3}{12.5} \approx -1.588 \mathrm{\ h}$

≈ 95 minutes. Thus the murder took place about 95 minutes before 1:30 PM, or 11:55 AM.
