Zeneca did not follow the directions. In order to follow Caleb's directions, Zelda would need to bring in 6 hives for every 2 acres of peaches.
If there are 30 acres, this means he would 15 groups of 6 hives (90 hives). He only brought 10.
Please see picture for work.
Answer:
n = 1 if you meant "(4/5)n - (3/5) = (1/5)n"
Step-by-step explanation:
There's some ambiguity here. Did you mean (4/5)n or did you
4
mean --------- ? Please use parentheses to eliminate this ambiguity.
5n
I'm going to assume that you meant to type in (4/5)n - (3/5) = (1/5)n.
Then we have (3/5)n = 3/5, or n = 1
Answer:
$3,000 was invested in the account that gained 13%
$17,500 was invested in the account that lost 10%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount in both accounts be x and y
x for the first and y for the second
Adding both is 20,500
x + y = 20,500 •••••(i)
First account earned 13% profit
= 13/100 * x = 0.13x
Second account, a loss of 10%
= -10/100 * y = -0.1y
Total loss of -1,360
This is;
-0.1y + 0.13x = -1,360 •••••••(ii)
From i, x = 20,500-y
Insert this into ii
-0.1y + 0.13(20,500-y) = -1,360
-0.1y + 2665 -0.13y = -1360
-0.23y = -1360-2665
-0.23y = -4025
y = -4025/-0.23
y = 17,500
To get x, we have
x = 20,500 -y
x = 20,500- 17,500
x = 3,000
