Answer:

Jagdeeep

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that Asmaa bought the socks at store A, and Jagdeeep bought socks at store B.

________________________________________________________

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Asmaa bought 3 pairs for 9.96

To find the cost of one pair, you divide 9.96 by 3

9.96 ÷ 3 = 3.32

Each pair of socks at Store A costs 3.32

_________________________________________________________

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jagdeep bought 5 pairs for 14.75

To find the cost of one pair, you divide 14.75 by 5

14.75 ÷ 5 = 2.95

Each pair of socks at Store B costs 2.95

2.95 < 3.32, store B had a better deal.

Jagdeeep got a better deal.

The length of each side of an equilateral triangle is increased by 20%, resulting in triangle ABC. If the length of each side of

kompoz [17]

Answer: Area of ΔABC is 2.25x the area of ΔDEF.

Step-by-step explanation: Because equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides, area is calculated as

$A=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} a^{2}$

with a as side of the triangle.

Triangle ABC is 20% bigger than the original, which means its side (a₁) measures, compared to the original:

a₁ = 1.2a

Then, its area is

$A_{1}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}(1.2a)^{2}$

$A_{1}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}1.44a^{2}$

Triangle DEF is 20% smaller than the original, which means its side is:

a₂ = 0.8a

So, area is

$A_{2}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} (0.8a)^{2}$

$A_{2}=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} 0.64a^{2}$

Now, comparing areas:

$\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}= (\frac{\sqrt{3}.1.44a^{2} }{4})(\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}.0.64a^{2} } )$

$\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}} =$ 2.25

The area of ΔABC is 2.25x greater than the area of ΔDEF.

Can an object be in pure translation as well as in pure rotation simultaneously?

Inessa [10]

"Pure translational" motion means the object is moving from place to place but isn't rotating at all. Mathematically, that means every point on the object has the same velocity vector as every other point on the object. For example, say you have a box that's sliding along the ground, and say each corner on the box is moving at 15 feet per second at an angle of 26 degrees west of north. Since every point on the box has the same velocity vector, the motion is "pure translational."

"Pure rotational" motion means the object is rotating, but its position in space isn't changing. Mathematically, that means that every point on the object moves in a circle around some axis (usually through the object's center of mass).

In a collection of nickels, dimes, and quarters worth $6.90, the ratio of the number of nickels to dimes is 3:8. The ratio of th

dimulka [17.4K]

N=number of nickels
d=number of dimes
q=number of quarters

example
if n:d=3:8
lets say n=3 and d=8
3*8=8*3
so
8n=3d
slightly confusing but go with it, it migh make sense or it might not

n:d=3:8
8n=3d

d:q=4:5
5d=4q

solve for one of them
solve for nickels in first and quarters in second

8n=3d, n=(3/8)d
5d=4q, (4/5)d=q

5n+10d+25q=690
divide by 5 to make it easeir
n+2d+4q=138
sub (3/8)d for n
sub (4/5)d for q
(3/8)d+2d+5(5/4)d=138
(3/8)d+2d+25/4d=138

3/8+2+25/4=
3/8+16/2+50/8=
69/8

(69/8)d=138
times both sides by 8
69d=1104
divide both sides by 69
d=16

16 dimes
sub back

(5/4)d=q
(5/4)16=q
80/4=q
20=q

(3/8)d=n
(3/8)16=n
48/8=n
6=n

6 nickles
16 dimes
