Any fraction with a denominator of 8 and
a numerator less than 6.66 does the job.
Answer: 16
Solution:
1) Use letters to identify the variables:
Number of trumpets: t
Number of clarinets: c
2) Translate each statement into algebraic (mathematical) language.
2.1) Sold a total of 27 used trumpets and clarinets
=> t + c = 27
2.2) Trumpets cost $149 and clarinets cost $99
Total cost of the trumpets: 149t
Total cost of clarinets: 99c
Total cost = 149t + 99c
2.3) Total sales were $3223
=> 149t + 99c = 3223.
3) State the system of equations:
Equation (1) t + c = 27
Equation (2) 149t + 99c = 3223
4) Solve the system of equations:
4.1) Multiply equation 1 by 149:
=> 149t + 149c = 4023
4.2) Subtract the equation (2) from the equation obtained in 4.1
=> 149c - 99c = 4023 - 3223
=> 50c = 800
=> c = 800 / 50 = 16
5) Verify the solution:
From equation (1) t = 27 - 16 = 11
Total cost = 149*11 + 99*16 = 3223
Now you have a verified answer: they sold 16 clarinets

In triangle ABC: AC=10
, AB=5., Angle C = 30 degrees.
In Triangle DEF: ED= 7.5
, DF=15, Angle F =30 degrees
, Angle E = 90 degrees.
Answer:
A, D and E
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram is drawn and attached below.
- Triangle ABC is similar to Triangle DEF. (Option E)
Writing it backwards:
- Triangle CBA is similar to Triangle FED. (Option A)
Also,
- Triangle BAC is similar to EDF. (Option D).
Therefore, A, D and E are the similarity statements that describe the relationship between the two triangles.
Answer:
22.5 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given system of equations</u>
5(s-w)=900
4(s+w)=900
<u />
<u>Set equations equal to each other</u>
5(s-w)=4(s+w)
5s-5w=4s+4w
s-5w=4w
s=9w
<u>Solve for w using the substitution s=9w</u>
4(s+w)=900
4(9w+w)=900
4(10w)=900
40w=900
w=22.5
Therefore, the speed of the wind is 22.5 miles per hour
Given:
Violinists : Cellists = 7:3.
Number of violinists in the school orchestra = 21
To find:
The combined number of cellists and violinists.
Solution:
Let the number of violinists and cellists in the school orchestra are 7x and 3x respectively.
Then, combined number of cellists and violinists is
...(i)
Number of violinists in the school orchestra = 21
Divide both sides by 7.
Now, the combined number of cellists and violinists is
[Using (i)]
Therefore, the combined number of cellists and violinists is 30.
