The ratio of Maggie's age now to her brother Steven's age now is 2:3. In ten years, the ratio of their ages will be 4:5. How old in Maggie now? Do not label years old in your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Maggie is currently 10 years old.

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

Explanation:

M = Maggie's age today

S = Steven's age today

The ratio of their current ages, specifically Maggie's age to Stevens age, is 2:3. So 2/3 = M/S

We can cross multiply to get 2S = 3M and divide both sides by 2 getting S = 3M/2 = 1.5M

So whatever Maggie's age is, we multiply by 1.5 to get Steven's age. This only applies to their current present day ages.

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

In 10 years, Maggie will be M+10 years old and Steven will be S+10 years old.

The ratio of their ages at this point in time is 4:5, so,

4/5 = (M+10)/(S+10)

4(S+10) = 5(M+10) ..... cross multiply

4S+40 = 5M+50

4S-5M = 50-40

4S-5M = 10

4(1.5M) - 5M = 10 .... plug in S = 1.5M

6M - 5M = 10

M = 10

Maggie is currently 10 years old.

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

Extra info:

Use the value of M to find S.

S = 1.5*M

S = 1.5*10

S = 15

So Steven is currently 15 years old.

The ratio of Maggie's current age to Steven's current age is M/S = 10/15 = 2/3 which turns into 2:3

In 10 years, Maggie will be M+10 = 10+10 = 20 and Steven will be S+10 = 15+10 = 25

The ratio of their ages now is (M+10)/(S+10) = 20/25 = 4/5 leading to the ratio 4:5

This confirms our answers.

Corey is taking a bus to her grandparent's house. The fee is
$12.00 plus $0.12 per mile. It is 58 miles to her grandparent's
house. Her parents send her with $15.00. If her grandparents
are planning on paying the balance when she arrives, how
much will they owe?

Answers

Answer: $3.96

Explanation: The bus trip is $12.00 + $0.12 per mile. The trip is 58 miles so the trip in total will cost $12.00 + ($0.12 • 58 miles) = $18.96. If her parents sent her with $15.00, her grandparents will still need to pay $3.96 to finish it off ($18.96 - $15.00 = $3.96).

isosceles triangles means that the two bottom angles and sides are equal

therefore, you can set R and T equal to each other:

(15x-31)=(9x+11)

(get x to one side)

15x=9x+42

6x=42

x=7

now you can plug x back into the equations:

15(7)-31

105-31

74

R and T = 74

all triangles' internal angles = 180

therefore you can add the two angles then subtract them from 180

74+74=148

180-148=32

S should be 32 :)

Answers

Answer:

Options (C) and (E)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomial is,

6x⁴+ 4x³- 7x² + 5x + 8

So all the polynomials which are (look alike) similar in terms of degree and number of terms to the given expression will be equivalent.

Option (A).

[tex]16x^{10}[/tex]

It's a monomial. So not the answer.

Option (B).

6x⁵ + 4x⁴ - 7x³ + 5x² + 8

This polynomial is a 5th degree polynomial, will not be equivalent to the given polynomial expression with 4 degree.

Option (C).

6x⁴ + 4x³ - 7x² + 5x + 8

All the terms and signs between the terms of this expression are similar to the given polynomial expression,  

Expression will be equivalent to the given polynomial expression.

Option (D)

8 + 5x + 7x² - 4x³ + 6x⁴

= 6x⁴- 4x³ + 7x² + 5x + 8

Both are similar in number of terms and degree but signs between the terms are different.

Therefore, both the expressions are will not be equivalent.

Option (E).

8 + 5x - 7x² + 4x³ + 6x⁴

= 6x⁴ + 4x³ - 7x² + 5x + 8

Since, both the polynomials are similar so they are equivalent.

Mirna earned $145 baby-sitting during the spring break. She needs to save $105 for the German Club trip. She wants to spend the remainder of the money shopping. Use s for the amount of money Mirna can spend. Enter your inequality in the most simplified form.

Answers

Answer:

$145 - $105 ≤ $40

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount earned = $145

Amount to save = $105

Amount to spend, s = $145 - $105

= $40

The inequality is

Amount earned - Amount to save ≤ Amount to spend

$145 - $105 ≤ s

$145 - $105 ≤ $40

Matt took a train traveling at an average speed of 80 mph from Boston, MA to Washington, D.C. The trip took 6 hours. On his way back to Boston, Matt decides to take an express train that travels at an average speed of 100 mph. How long will the trip home take?

Answers

4.8 hours (4 hours and 48 minutes)

First, find the total distance of the trip by multiplying the rate (80mph) by the time (6 hours). This is 480 miles, which is the total distance. If the express train travels at 100mph, then the total time it takes is 480/100, or 4.8 hours.

Answer:

The trip will take 4.8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to calculate the distance from Boston to Washington

Mathematically:

Distance = speed * time

Distance = 80 mph * 6 hours = 480 miles

Now we want to calculate the time it will take a train that travels at a speed of 100 mph

Mathematically;

time = distance/speed

time = 480/100 = 4.8 hours

Trevor plans on buying a car. Four banks offer the annual interest rates shown.

Which list shows these interest rates in order from greatest to least

3 1/10%, 3 2/5%, 3 1/4%, 3 1/3%

Answer:

3 2/5% ; 3 1/3% ; 3 1/4% ; 3 1/10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Arrange the given interest rates in order ; greatest to least :

To make comparison easier, we can convert the fractional values to decimal ;

3 1/10%, 3 2/5%, 3 1/4%, 3 1/3%

3 1/10% = 3 + (1/10 = 0.1) = 3 + 0.1 = 3.1%

3 2/5%, = 3 + (2/5 = 0.4) = 3 + 0.4 = 3.4%

3 1/4%, = 3 + (1/4 = 0.25) = 3 + 0.25 = 3.25%

3 1/3% = 3 + (1/3 = 0.333) = 3 + 0.333 = 3.33%

Hence, arranging in descending order (greatest to least) :

3 2/5% > 3 1/3% > 3 1/4% > 3 1/10%

3 2/5% ; 3 1/3% ; 3 1/4% ; 3 1/10%

36 bottles for $4

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to calculate the price for one bottle, the lower the cost, the better buy. Do this by dividing the price by the amount of bottles:

= 0.125 cents

= $4 ÷ 36

= 0.111 cents

A quantity of 22% acid solution is being diluted with some 8% acid solution. The final solution must be 12% acid and contain 101 mL. How much of each solution must be added to achieve the result? ROUND TO THE NEAREST mL.

Answers

Answer:

Amount of 22% acid solution needed = 29 ml

Amount of 8% acid solution needed = 72 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x=amount of 22% solution needed

Then 101 - x= amount of 8% solution needed

The pure acid in the 22% solution (0.22x) plus the amount of pure acid in the 8% solution 0.08(101 - x) has to equal the amount of pure acid in the final mixture (0.12*101).

The equation to solve is:

0.22x + 0.08(101 - x) = (0.12*101)

0.22x + 8.08 - 0.08x = 12.12

0.14x = 12.12 - 8.08

0.14x = 4.04

x = 4.04 / 0.14

= 28.86

x = 29 ml to the nearest ml

Amount of 22% acid solution needed = 29 ml

Amount of 8% acid solution needed = 101 - x

= 101 - 29

= 72ml

7x + 4y = 28
7(0) + 4y = 28

Y intercept : 7

Answer:

Thus, the y-intercept of the line is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

One given line can be expressed with the slope-intercept form as follows:

[tex]y=mx+b\qquad\qquad [1][/tex]

Where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

We are given the following equation of the line:

7x-4y=-28

Let's transform the equation to look like the slope-intercept form [1].

Subtract 7x:

-4y=-7x-28

Divide by -4:

y=7/4x+7

Comparing with the equation [1]:

m=7/4

b=7

Thus, the y-intercept of the line is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is stated to have 180º. This means that since we know 2 sides of the triangle you can simply subtract them from one another.

Doing this you would get: 180 - 90 - 38 = 52º

Noticing that X is on a straight line, this would result in the fact that X is on a line of 180º.

Subtracting the angle we found in the triangle would result you with the answer of:

Brendan is going to paint a wall that measures 10 feet tall by 13 feet wide. The wall has two windows that are 2.5 feet wide by 4 feet tall. What is the area of the wall that he is going to pain

Answers

Answer:

Total area of paint = 110 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Measurement of wall = 10 feet tall by 13 feet wide

Measurement window = 2.5 feet wide by 4 feet tall each

Find:

Total area of paint

Computation:

Total area of paint = Area of wall - 2[Area of window]

Total area of paint = [10 x 13] - 2[2.5 x 4]

Total area of paint = [130] - [20]

Total area of paint = 110 ft²

The area of the wall Brenda is going to paint = 110 sq. ft.

Recall:

Area of rectangle = Length × width

Given:

Measurement of the wall = 10 feet tall by 13 feet wide

Area of the wall = 10 × 13 = 130 sq. ft

Measurement of a window = 2.5 feet wide by 4 feet tall

Area of a window = 2.5 × 4 = 10 sq. ft

The windows won't be painted, therefore, the area of the wall that Brenda is going to paint = Total area of the wall - 2(Area of a window)

Area of the wall to be painted = 130 - 2(10)

Area of the wall to be painted = 110 sq. ft
