Answer:

5 pounds and 8 ounces of seed per one acre.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have our two values, 44 pounds and 8 acres.

It also says it takes 44 pounds of seed for every 8 acres of farmland.

So to get the value of how much seed per one acre we need, we divide 44 by 8.

Doing so yields us 5.5 pounds, which can be converted to 5 pounds and 8 ounces. (remember 16 ounces is 1 pound)

1) 0.0 + 5.5 = 5.5

2) 5.5 + 5.5 = 11.0

3) 11.0 + 5.5 = 16.5

4) 16.5 + 5.5 = 22.0

5) 22.0 + 5.5 = 27.5

6) 27.5 + 5.5 = 33.0

7) 33.0 + 5.5 = 38.5

8) 38.5 + 5.5 = 44.0

I have five apples and ten oranges. If a fruit basket must contain at least one piece of fruit, how many kinds of fruit baskets

liq [111]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's consider the case where you have 1 apple in the basket. The possible number of baskets you can have with 1 apple is 11: the case where you have no oranges besides the apples, the case where you have 1 orange, the case where you have 2 orange, etc.

This line of reasoning can be followed by each possible amount of apples you can have: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Keep in mind that in the case where you have no apples, you must exclude the case where you also have no oranges, because the problem tells you that the basket must have at least 1 fruit.

So, the answer would be:

x = 6*11 -1 = 65 possible baskets

A circle representing a pool is graphed with a center at the origin. Grant enters the pool at point A and swims over to a friend

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

From the diagram above you can see that points A and B have coordinates (8,0) and (-4,6), respectively.

The equation of the line passing through the pointa A and B is:

$y-y_A=\dfrac{y_B-y_A}{x_B-x_A}(x-x_A).$
