Josh, Ben and Rick have 70 marbles altogether. The ratio of the number marbles Josh has to the number of marbles Rick has is 1: 2. However, Ben has 15 marbles fewer than Rick. How many marbles does Ben have?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Ben has 19 marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

First taking that josh and ricks ratio is 1:2, this would set up in an equation as [tex]2j = r[/tex] and with ben having 15 less than rick, his formula would be [tex]r = b + 15[/tex] as well as the total of all the boys marbles together being this [tex]j+r+b=70[/tex]

Now we put all of these equations into a set to answer them.

[tex]2j = r\\ r = b + 15\\j+r+b=70[/tex]

First we solve for j

[tex]2j = r\\ j=\frac{1}{2} r[/tex]

Then substitute j

[tex]j+r+b=70\\ \frac{1}{2}r+r+b=70\\ 2b+3r=140[/tex]

Then simplify and multiply by 2 to even out

[tex]r = b + 15\\ -b+r=15\\2b+3r=140[/tex]

Now eliminate the b variable and combine equations

[tex]2b+3r=140\\-2b+2r=30[/tex]

[tex]5r=170[/tex]

Now divide and solve for r

[tex]5r=170\\r=34[/tex]

Now we know Rick has 34 marbles of the 70 marbles, so we can substitute his number back into the original equation

[tex]-b+34=15\\b=19[/tex]

Now we know Ben has 19 marbles of the remaining 36, and can substitute his number as well

[tex]j=\frac{1}{2}(34)\\j=17[/tex]

And now we know how much everyone has, to check we rewrite all the equations with their respective numbers

[tex]11+34+19=70\\2(17)=34\\34=19+15[/tex]

[tex]70=70\\34=34\\34=34[/tex]

Which means the ordered pairing of (b, j, r) is (19, 17, 34)

3: A farmer keeps cows and pigs on his farm. The ratio of cows to pigs on the farm is 2:3 (a) What percentage of the animals on the farm are cows? (b) What percentage of the animals on the farm are pigs?​

Answers

Answer:

(a) 40% of the animals are cows.

(b) 60% of the animals are pigs.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) You have to find the percent of the cows. 2:3 can be written as 2/5 for the cows and you have to figure out x/100.

2/5 = x/100

5*20 = 100

2*20 = x

40 = x

(b) The rest of the animals on the farm are pigs so you have to subtract 40 from 100 for the answer.

100-40 = y

60 = y

A pineapple is 7 times as heavy as an orange. The pineapple also weighs 870 grams more than the orange.
What is the total weight in grams for the pineapple and orange?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let pineapple  = x, orange = y

A pineapple is 7 times as heavy as an orange:

x = 7y

The pineapple also weighs 870 grams more than the orange:

x = y + 870

Compare the two equations above:

7y = y + 8706y = 870y = 870/6y = 145

Find the value of x:

x = y + 870 = 145 + 870 = 1015

What is a expression? What is a mathematical equation? What is Equation Modelling?

A mathematical expression is made up of terms (constants and variables) separated by mathematical operators. A mathematical equation is used to equate two expressions. Equation modelling is the process of writing a mathematical verbal expression in the form of a mathematical expression for correct analysis, observations and results of the given problem.

We have Elie who took $200 to spend during summer vacation. She spent $32 a day for 5 days. Then she bought gelato for her and three friends for $6 each.

Assume that she is left with $[x]. Then, we can write the equation as -

x = 200 - {(32 x 5) + (6 x 4)}

x = 200 - {160 + 24}

x = 200 - 184

x = 16

Therefore, Elie was left with $16 at the end of the trip.

Julie spent $15 on 3 headbands. Mary spent $48 on 8 headbands. How much more
did Mary spend per headband?
$5.50
$1
$2.13
$4

Answers

Based on the information given, the amount of money that Mary will spend more for the headband will be $1.

Since Julie spent $15 on 3 headbands, the amount per headband will be:

= $15/3 = $5

Since Mary spent $48 on 8 headbands, the amount per headband will be:

= $48/8 = $6

Therefore, we can then calculate the difference between the values that are gotten. This will be:

= $6 - $5 = $1

Therefore, the difference is $1.

A right triangle has an X exterior angle with a measure of 142° . Can you determine the measures of the interior angles? Explain.

Answers

Answer: The interior angles are 38, 52, 90

=======================================================

Explanation:

The exterior angle of 142 leads to an interior angle of 180-142 = 38. The adjacent interior/exterior pair of angles always add to 180. So 38+142 = 180. These two angles are supplementary, which is another way of saying they form a straight line.

Since 38 is one of the acute interior angles, the other acute interior angle is 90-38 = 52. The rule is that the acute interior angles of any right triangle always add to 90 degrees (i.e. the angles are complementary).

Lastly, the remaining interior angle is the 90 degree angle itself. All right triangles have exactly one angle that is 90 degrees. The term "right angle" is often used in place of "90 degree angle".

[B]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
[C]-\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
[D]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

3/(4(x+2)) = x/(x+2)

the common denominator would have to be 4(x+2).

to get the right side to this denominator, we have to multiply numerator and denominator (top and bottom) by 4.

and then we get

3/(4(x+2)) = (4x)/(4(x+2))

and now as both sides are "standing" on the same denominator, we can simply compare only the top parts.

3 = 4x

and therefore we can solve

x = 3/4

and D is then the right answer choice.
