a tennis coach took his team out for lunch and bought 8 hamburgers and 5 fries for $24. The players were styill hungry so the coach bought 6 more hamburgers and 2 more fries for $16.60. Find the cost of each.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Hamburger = $2.5

Fries = $0.80

Step-by-step explanation:

set up a system of equations

y = total cost

x = number of hamburgers

y = number of fries

[tex]24=8x+5y\\16.60=6x+2y[/tex]

find a LCF and multiply the equations. I'll be using the LCF of 5 & 2, which is 10 for y. so I will mulitilpy the first equation by 2 to get 10y and then the second by NEGATIVE 5 (-5) so when I combine both equations the y will cancle out because I'll get -10. Doing this, you should end up with this:

[tex]48=16x+10y\\-83=-30x-10y[/tex]

when you have this combine the equations to get

[tex]-35=-14x[/tex]

then divide both sides by -14 to get

[tex]2.5=x[/tex] this is the cost of one hamburger

then you plug in x into one of the original equations (I'll use the first equation)

[tex]24=8(2.5)+5y[/tex]

then solve for y to get

[tex]0.80=y[/tex] this is the cost for fry

if you plug in both the value for x and y into the original equations (like so)

[tex]24=8(2.5)+5(0.8)\\16.60=6(2.5)+2(0.8)[/tex]

you'll see that they are true (they equal one another)

this means that the cost of a hamburger is $2.50 and the cost of fries is $0.80

Answer 2

The cost of each hamburger is $2.50, and the cost of each serving of fries is $0.80.

Let's use a system of equations to solve this problem. Let h represent the cost of a hamburger and f represent the cost of a serving of fries.

From the information given, we can create two equations:

8h + 5f = 24

6h + 2f = 16.60

Now, we can solve this system of equations. We can start by solving one of the equations for one of the variables and then substituting it into the other equation. Let's solve equation 1 for h:

8h = 24 - 5f

h = (24 - 5f)/8

Now, substitute this expression for h into equation 2:

6[(24 - 5f)/8] + 2f = 16.60

Now, we can simplify and solve for f:

(3/4)(24 - 5f) + 2f = 16.60

Multiply both sides by 4 to eliminate the fraction:

3(24 - 5f) + 8f = 66.40

Now, distribute the 3 on the left side:

72 - 15f + 8f = 66.40

Combine like terms:

-7f = 66.40 - 72

-7f = -5.60

Now, divide by -7 to solve for f:

f = -5.60 / -7

f = $0.80

Now that we've found the cost of a serving of fries (f), we can use this value to find the cost of a hamburger (h) using equation 1:

8h + 5(0.80) = 24

8h + 4 = 24

8h = 24 - 4

8h = 20

h = 20 / 8

h = $2.50

So, the cost of each hamburger is $2.50, and the cost of each serving of fries is $0.80.

Julie is 6 feet tall. If she stands 15 feet from the flagpole and holds a cardboard square, the edges of the square line up with the top and bottom of the flagpole. Approximate the height of the flagpole

Answers

Answer:

43.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Julie is 6 feet tall

           She stands 15 feet from the flagpole.

           The edges of the square line up with the top and bottom of the flagpole.

Picture drawn to show side and angle formed by Julie and flagpole.

Lets assume the height of flagpole be "h".

As given, the edges of the square line up with the top and bottom of the flagpole.

∴ Angle and base of triangle are same then ratio of corresponding sides are also equal.

Now, finding the height of flagpole by using tangent rule.

we know, [tex]tan\theta= \frac{Opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]

Remember, both the angle are equal.

∴ Ratio of opposite and adjacent leg for both right angle triangle= [tex]\frac{6}{15} : \frac{h-6}{15}[/tex]

We can put it; [tex]\frac{6}{15} = \frac{15}{h-6}[/tex]

Solving the equation now

⇒ [tex]\frac{6}{15} = \frac{15}{h-6}[/tex]

Multiplying both side by 15

⇒[tex]6 = \frac{15\times 15}{h-6}[/tex]

Multiplying both side by (h-6)

⇒ [tex]6\times (h-6) = 15\times 15[/tex]

Distributive property of multiplication

⇒ [tex]6h-36= 225[/tex]

Adding both side by 36

⇒[tex]6h= 225+36[/tex]

Dividing both side by 6

⇒[tex]h= \frac{261}{6}[/tex]

∴ [tex]h= 43.5\ feet[/tex]

Hence, the height of flagpole is 43.5 feet.

The height of the flagpole is given by the length of the hypotenuse side

formed by the right triangle Julie forms with the cardboard.

Response:

Height of the flagpole is 17.4 feet

Which method is used to calculate the height of the flagpole?

The triangle formed by the edges of square lined up with the top and

bottom of the flagpole is a right triangle.

The altitude of the right triangle formed with the height of the flagpole as the base = 15 feet

Length of a leg of the right triangle = √(15² + 6²) = 3·√(29)

The other angle formed by the right triangle = (90° - arctan(15/6))

h × sin(arctan(15/6)) = 3·√29

[tex]h = \mathbf{\dfrac{3 \cdot \sqrt{29} }{sin(arctan(15/6))} } = 17.4[/tex]

Height of the flagpole, h = 17.4 feet

What is the probability of getting a head followed by a 6?
[tex]\frac{?}{?}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:[tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, first, you want to find the probability of getting a head, which would be 1/2 because there are two options and we are only looking for one out of the two. Then, the probability of getting a 6 would be 1/6 because there is only one chance of getting a 6 and there are 6 options. Next, you would have to multiply both quantities to find out what the probability would be of getting both. So it would be [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ×[tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex]

Probability of getting a head followed by a 6 is 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 possible outcomes of tossing a coin a head and a tail.

The probability is 1 out of 2 each for head and tail.

Probability of getting a 6 when a dice is rolled is 1 out of 6 for each face i.e 1,2,3,4,5,6

So the probability of getting a head followed by 6 is 1/2*1/6 = 1/12

It can also be understood as below.

There can be 12 possible combinations once a coin is tossed and a die is rolled. Head-1, Head-2. Head-3, Head-4, Head-5, Head-6, Tail-1, Tail-2, Tail-3, Tail-4, Tail-5, Tail-6

In the list there is 1 outcome that we need. Head-6. This again gives us the chance of getting Head-6 as 1 out of 12.

A customer at the mall is shopping for holiday gifts, and is considering having them wrapped. He can get them wrapped at the department store, which charges $2 per gift. Alternatively, the customer can pay his niece a flat fee of $50 to wrap all of his gifts. If he has a certain number of small packages, it would cost the same amount either way. How many small gifts would that include?

Answers

Final answer:

The customer would need to have 25 small gifts to wrap in order for the costs to be the same, whether using the department store's service at $2 per gift or paying his niece the $50 flat fee.

Explanation:

To determine how many small gifts need to be wrapped to make the cost the same whether paying his niece the flat fee of $50 or paying the department store $2 per gift, we can set up a simple equation:

Let x represent the number of small gifts.
Then, the cost of wrapping at the department store is $2 per gift, which means the cost is 2x dollars.
The niece's flat fee is $50, regardless of the number of gifts.

The equation to find the breakeven point where both options cost the same is:
2x = 50

Solving for x gives us:

x = 50 / 2
x = 25 gifts

Thus, if the customer has 25 small gifts to wrap, it would cost the same to have them wrapped by his niece at a flat rate or by the department store per gift.

Answers

Answer:

Kira served 25 orders, Bill served 34 orders and Michael served 75 orders.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Kira served x number of orders.

So, Bill served (x + 9) orders and Michael served 3x orders.

Now, it is given that Kira, Bill, and Michael served a total of 134 orders.

So, x + (x + 9) + 3x = 134

⇒ 5x + 9 = 134

⇒ 5x = 125

x = 25

Therefore, Kira served 25 orders, Bill served (25 + 9) = 34 orders and Michael served 3 × 25 = 75 orders. (Answer)

Bridge In a macrotube (macrobroth) dilution susceptibility test, 1.0 ml of Mueller Hinton (MH) broth is pipetted into tubes 2 through 10, tube 11, and tube 13. Two milliliters of MH broth is pipetted into tube 12; 1.0 ml of 200 micrograms/ml of ampicillin is added to tubes 1, 2, and 13. A twofold serial dilution is performed in 1.0 ml amounts in tubes 2 through 10. The standardized inoculum is diluted 1:200 and 1.0 ml is added to tubes 1 though 11. The tubes are incubated for 20 hours at 350 C. After this time, the tubes are examined for visual growth. Tubes 6 through 7 are visibly turbid. while tubes 1 through 5 show no signs of growth. Tubes 1 through 5 are plated on blood agar, incubated overnight at 350C, and read for growth. Plates 1 through 4 show no growth while several colonies are observed on plate 5. The MIC is: What is the force that holds protons together in the nucleus? (They should repel each other since they are positively charged)
