Maurice finished 12/25 of his book. He says he is more than halfway done with his book. Is he correct or incorrect? Explain.

Answer:

10 girls

11 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

set up a system of equations:

b represents boys, g represents girls

b+g=21           (since there is a total of 21 students)

11b+13g=251   (since each boy has 11 pockets, each girl has 13, total of 251)

i chose the method of substitution, so i solved the first equation to get

b=21-g

then i substitute 21-g for b in the second equation, and solve:

11(21-g)+13g=251

231-11g+13g=251

2g+231=251

2g=20

g=10

then, i solved for boys (by choosing the top equation and substituting 10 for g, since we now know that g=10)

b+g=21

b+10=21

b=11

so there are 10 girls and 11 boys in this class

There are 10 girls and 11 boys in the class.

"It is a statement which consists of equal symbol between two mathematical expressions."

"It is a finite set of equations for which we find a common solution."

For given example,

Let 'x' be the number of girls and 'y' be the number of boys.

Each boy in a class has 11 pockets and each girl in the class has 13 pockets.

And in this class if all 21 students have a total of 251 pockets.

So, we have system of equations,

⇒ x + y =21                                 .......................(1)

⇒ 13x + 11y = 251                        .......................(2)

From equation (1),

x = 21 - y                                  ......................(3)

Substitute this value of 'x' in the equation (2),

⇒ 13(21 - y) + 11y = 251

⇒ 273 - 13y + 11y = 251

⇒ 273 -2y - 273 = 251 - 273

⇒ -2y = -22

⇒ y = -22 / -2

⇒ y = 11

This means, there are 11 boys in the class.

Substitute the value of 'y' in equation (3),

⇒ x = 21 - 11

⇒ x = 10

This means there are 10 girls in the class.

Therefore, there are 10 girls and 11 boys in the class.

The amount of money which the chef spends on steak as calculated from the data given is found to be $412.50.

Now as we know that ,

for a meal of 12 meals the chef uses 3 pounds.

Therefore , for a meal of 250 meals the chef uses x pounds

Now , we will solve this proportion.

x=(250 meals*3 pounds)/12 meals

= 62.5 pounds

Now , cost of steaks = 6.60 dollars.

Therefore cost of 62.5 pounds of steaks will be ,

62.5 pound x $ 6.60/pound

The sum of the natural numbers is (a) 25

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

Number type = natural number

Condition = 5 times bigger than their last digit

This means that

Number = 5 * Last digit

Because the number is a natural number, then the number cannot end in 0

This is so because 0 is not a natural number

Solving further, the last digit of the number is at most, 9

Using the above as a guide, we have the following:

The number is at most 45 i.e. 5 * 9

Also, it means that it can not have more than 2 digits.

The above highlights in a nutshell is that the number is a multiple of 5 that does not end in 0 and the last digit is 5

Since the last digit is 5, then we have the number to be 25 i.e. 5 * 5

Hence, the number is (a) 25

Sum of all angles of a triangle = 180°

Let the angle be x.

So,

x+104°+53° = 180°

x + 157° = 180°

x = 180° - 157°

x = 23°

So, the unknown angle is of measure 23°.

Answer:

x ≈ 10.6

Step-by-step explanation:

using the cosine ratio in the right triangle

cos35°= [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{13}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 13 )

13 × cos35° = x , then

x ≈ 10.6 ( to the nearest tenth )

The value of next two terms are,

⇒ 0 and - 60

A relation between a set of inputs having one output each is called a function.

Given that;

The values are,

⇒ f (1) = 120,

⇒ f (2) = 60

And, The function is,

⇒ f (n) = f (n - 1) + ___

For n ≥ 2

Now,

Since, The values are,

⇒ f (1) = 120,

⇒ f (2) = 60

And, The recursive formula is,

⇒ f (n) = f (n - 1) + b

For n ≥ 2

Substitute n = 2;

⇒ f (2) = f (2 - 1) + b

⇒ 60 = f (1) + b

⇒ 60 = 120 + b

⇒ b = 60 - 120

⇒ b = - 60

So, The recursive formula is,

⇒ f (n) = f (n - 1) - 60

Substitute n = 3;

⇒ f (3) = f (3 - 1) - 60

⇒ f (3) = f (2) - 60

⇒ f (3) = 60 - 60

⇒ f (3) = 0

Substitute n = 4;

⇒ f (4) = f (4 - 1) - 60

⇒ f (4) = f (3) - 60

⇒ f (4) = 0 - 60

⇒ f (4) = - 60

Thus, The next two term are 0 and - 60.

The meaning of adjoining  is nearby or next to.

The terms neighboring, adjoining, contiguous, and juxtaposed denote close closeness. Adjacent may or may not indicate touch, but it always implies the lack of something like in between. A home with a garage attached. Adjoining means meeting and touching at some point or line. Two nearby dwellings are an example of adjacent. People on our block are typically considered our neighbors.

In the English language, “adjacent to” means “next to.” For two angles to be adjacent, they must meet the following three conditions: 1. The two angles must share (or have the same) side. 2. They must share a vertex (i.e. a common starting point for the sides).

Answer:

The area of the rectangle ABCD is [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

From statement we have that rectangle ABCD is formed by the following points: [tex]A(x,y) = (2, 5), B(x,y) = \left(\frac{8}{3}, 5 \right), C(x,y) = \left(\frac{8}{3}, \frac{28}{5} \right), D(x,y) = \left(2, \frac{28}{5} \right)[/tex]. First, we calculate the length of each side by the Pythagorean Theorem:

[tex]AB = \sqrt{\left(\frac{8}{3}-2 \right)^{2}+ (5-5)^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]AB = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

[tex]BC = \sqrt{\left(\frac{8}{3}-\frac{8}{3}\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{28}{5}-5\right)^{2} }[/tex]

[tex]BC = \frac{3}{5}[/tex]

[tex]CD = \sqrt{\left(2-\frac{8}{3} \right)^{2}+\left(\frac{28}{5}-\frac{28}{5} \right)^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]CD = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

[tex]DA = \sqrt{\left(2-2\right)^{2}+\left(5-\frac{28}{5} \right)^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]BC = \frac{3}{5}[/tex]

Which satisfies all minimum characteristics for a rectangle. The area of the rectangle ABCD is the product of its base and its height, that is:

[tex]A = \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{3}{5} \right)[/tex]

[tex]A = \frac{2}{5}[/tex]

The area of the rectangle ABCD is [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] square units.

Using combination, 5184 nine-digit numbers can be made using each of the digits 1 through 9 exactly once with the digits alternating between odd and even.

An arrangement of items in a specific order is referred to as a permutation. Here, the components of sets are arranged in a linear or sequential order. For instance, the set A=1,6 has a permutation of 2, which is 1,6,1. There is no other way to arrange the components of set A, as you can see.

If the first letter is even, there are 4 first digit possibilities (not 5 because it can't start with 0), 4 third digit possibilities, 3 fifth digit possibilities, etc., making the total 4!

There are 12 weeks will Sonja's balance remain above $377.

What is account balance?

The balance is the sum owed on an account in banking and accounting. The term "balance" in bookkeeping refers to the difference between the total of debit entries and the total of credit entries made into an account over the course of a given financial period. The account shows a debit balance when total debits exceed total credits.

Given:

Sonja has a bank account balance of $1400. Each week, her balance changes by -$85.25. She wants to keep the balance above $377.

We have to find the number of  weeks will Sonja's balance remain above $377.

Let, $1400 - $377 = $1023.

The volume of a cylinder of radius r and height h is given as follows:

The volume of a cone is one third that of the cylinder, hence:

Vco = πr²h/3.

At the second row, the volume of the cylinder is three times that of the cone, hence:

40π x 3 = 120π.

Considering the volume of the cylinder and the radius, the height is obtained as follows:

πr²h = 120π

9h = 120

h = 120/9

h = 13.3.

For the third row, we have that the base area is of 36π squared units, hence the radius is obtained as follows:

πr² = 36π

r = 6. (as the base is circular).

Hence the diameter is of 12 units, as the length of the diameter is twice that of the radius.

The volume of the cylinder is three times that of the radius, hence:
