Answer:

Option D.(60, 135)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of acres of peas

y ----> the number of acres of carrots

we know that

The inequality that represent the problem is equal to

$x+y\leq 200$

so

<em>Verify each case</em>

case A) (-50,160)

substitute the value of x and the value of y in the inequality and then compare the result

$-50+160\leq 200$

$110\leq 200$ ----> is true

The point is a solution for the inequality, but is not a viable solution because the number of acres can not be a negative number

case B) (80,160)

substitute the value of x and the value of y in the inequality and then compare the result

$80+160\leq 200$

$240\leq 200$ ----> is not true

therefore

The point is not a solution

case C) (75,-200)

substitute the value of x and the value of y in the inequality and then compare the result

$75-200\leq 200$

$-125\leq 200$ ----> is true

The point is a solution for the inequality, but is not a viable solution because the number of acres can not be a negative number

case D) (60,135)

substitute the value of x and the value of y in the inequality and then compare the result

$60+135\leq 200$

$195\leq 200$ ----> is true

therefore

The point is a viable solution

You spent 1/2 of your money at the theater and 1/4 at an arcade. you have $17.50 left. How much money did you originally have?

4vir4ik [10]

You basically add 17.50+17.50=35 and add 35+35=70, reason being is because the 35 is the 1/2 and 17.50 is the 1/4 so 70 is your answer

Water is drained out of tank, shaped as an inverted right circular cone that has a radius of 4cm and a height of 16cm, at the ra

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

$\frac{dh}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2\pi}cm/min$

Step-by-step explanation:

From similar triangles, see diagram in attachment

$\frac{r}{4}=\frac{h}{16}$

We solve for $r$ to obtain,

$r=\frac{h}{4}$

The formula for calculating the volume of a cone is

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

We substitute the value of $r=\frac{h}{4}$ to obtain,

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (\frac{h}{4})^2h$

This implies that,

$V=\frac{1}{48}\pi h^3$

We now differentiate both sides with respect to $t$ to get,

$\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{\pi}{16}h^2 \frac{dh}{dt}$

We were given that water is drained out of the tank at a rate of $2cm^3/min$

This implies that $\frac{dV}{dt}=-2cm^3/min$ .

Since we want to determine the rate at which the depth of the water is changing at the instance when the water in the tank is 8cm deep, it means $h=8cm$ .

We substitute this values to obtain,

$-2=\frac{\pi}{16}(8)^2 \frac{dh}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow -2=4\pi \frac{dh}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow -1=2\pi \frac{dh}{dt}$

$\frac{dh}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2\pi}$

The price of a four star dinner was $100 two decades ago. A report says that a dinner is 250% of what it was 20 years ago, how m

leva [86]

For this case we can solve the problem by means of the following rule of three:

100 $ --------------> 100%

x -------------------> 250%

From here, we clear the value of x.

We have then:

$x = (\frac{250}{100}) (100)$

Rewriting we have:

$x = 250$

Answer:

The price of a four star dinner today is $ 250.
