Answer:

The correct answer is 58 1/2 feet. See below to understand the difference of both methods.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us for solving the question using both methods:

Area of each student = 4 1/2 square feet

Number of students = 13

2. Let's use the first method to solve the question:

4 1/2 = 9/2 (Improper fraction because the numerator, 9 is bigger than the denominator, 2)

9/2 * 13 = 117/2

117/2 = 58 1/2 square feet

3. Let's use the second method to solve the question:

4 1/2 = 4 + 1/2 (Using addition to rewrite the fraction)

(4 + 1/2) * 13 = (4 * 13) + (1/2 * 13) (Distributive property of the multiplication)

(4 * 13) + (1/2 * 13) = 52 + 13/2 = 52 + 6 1/2

52 + 6 1/2 = 58 1/2 square feet

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

centroid

x=(x1+x2+x3)/3=(0+3+0)/3=3/3=1

y=(y1+y2+y3)/3=(0+0-3)/3=-3/3=-1

centroid =(1,-1)

Please help me find the nth term of this sequence 0, 3, 8, 15, 24

Setler [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

0, 3, 8, 15, 24, 35, 48, 63, 80 which is the nth term

first step you have to find how many steps the sequence was going with.

examples= from 0 to 3 the steps were 3

=from 3 to 8 the steps were 5

= from 8 to 15 the steps were 7

you will recognize that the steps the sequence is going with is odd numbers.

so you will use the odd numbers until you find what you need. which leads you to 80 which is the nth number in the sequence.

The population of Collin County, which follows the exponential growth model, increased from 491,675 in 2000 to 782,341 in 2010.

Luden [163]

Answer:

p=ak^t

p1=491272*k^0

p2=782341*k^10

782341/491272 = k^10

k=1.047629

growth rate is 4.7629%

2012: predicted population is 491272*1.047629^12=858,642 people

1245863=491272*1.047629^t

1.047629^k=2.5363599

ln both sides is k ln 1.0476=ln 2.5363

t=20.000 years.

Rule of 72 would say 72/4.76 or 15.12 years for doubling

14.90 years

2017 predicted is 491272*1.0476^17 or 1083552, or more than actual, so the rate of growth is slowing down.

how many liters is 70% alcohol solution must be added to 50 L of 40% alcohol solution to produce a 50% alcohol solution

Anettt [7]

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved by C1V1 + C2V2 ÷ V1 + V2 = final concentration

Let x = volume of 70% solution

let's express the concentrations as decimals, so 70% = 0.7, 50% = 0.5, and 40% = 0.4

then 0.7X + 50L.4 ÷ X + 50L = 0.5

this equation becomes 0.5(X + 50) = 0.7X + 20

which yields 0.5X + 25 = 0.7X +20

combining, we get 5 = 0.2X, and 25 = X

when we mix the two volumes, we get 50L x 40% + 25L x 70%,

which yields 20L of 100% alcohol, and 17.5L of 100% alcohol, for a total of 37.5L of alcohol in 75L of solution

which is a final concentration of 50%
