Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

small=s, s=3.99

large=l, l=19.20

10s+8l=192.20

20s+l=99

we can see that in the second equation, 20s+l=99

l=99-20s

lets replace l in the first equation

10s+8(99-20s)=192.20

10s+792-160s=192.20

-150s=-792+192.20

150s=599.80

s=3.99

l=99-20(3.99)=99-79.80=19.20

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You can set up a system of equations.

x=small, and y = large.

10x+8y=$192

20x+1y=$99

you can multiply the first equation by -2 to get rid of x:

20x+1y=$99

-20x-16y=-$384

when you combine them, you get:

-15y=$-285

you can divide by -15 and you get:

y=19, so 1 large equals $19

Answer:

Restating the question clearly:

Ben drinks tea at an incredible rate. He drinks 3 1/2 liters of tea every 2/3 of an hour. How much does he drink in one hour?

Answer:

He drinks $5\frac{1}{4}\ liters\$ in 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

$Rate\ of\ drinking\ =\ 3\frac{1}{2}\ liters\ per\ \frac{2}{3}\ of\ an\ hour\\$ $\therefore\ 3\frac{1}{2}\ liters\ is\ consumed\ in\ \frac{2}{3} \ hours\\\frac{7}{2} \ liters = \frac{2}{3} \ hours\\cross-multiplying\\7 \times 3\ liters = 2 \times 2\ hours\\21\ liters = 4\ hours\\4\ hours\ = 21\ liters\\\therefore\ for\ 1\ hour\\\frac{4}{4}\ hours = \frac{21}{4}\ liters\\1\ hour = 5.25\ liters\\5.25\ liters = 5\frac{1}{4}\ liters$

PLS HELP ASAP NEED FOR A TEST

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The answer in the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> the first number

y----> the second number

we know that

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{3}{4}$

$y=\frac{4}{3}x$ -----> equation A

$x+y=35$ ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

$x+\frac{4}{3}x=35$

$\frac{3x+4x}{3}=35$

$\frac{7}{3}x=35$

$x=35*3/7=15$

$y=35-15=20$

Answer:

Choice B

The mathematical model that best fits the data is a polynomial of order 2 as shown on the attachment.

The predicted global mean temperature in 2015 is; 412.24

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to obtain a scatter plot of the data and then fit a trend line. A quadratic polynomial fits the data well considering the large value of the coefficient of determination of 0.9984.

To determine the global mean temperature in 2015 we substitute x with 14 in the quadratic model;

y = 0.4643(14)^2 + 0.7976 (14) + 310.07

= 412.24
