Sally is selling strawberries at the farmer’s market. She sells 5 boxes in the morning, and then sells half of the remaining boxes of strawberries by the end of the day. If Sally ended up with 9 boxes of strawberries left at the end of the day, how many boxes did she start with

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

23 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

x=5+9*2

Answer 2

Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

I did this backwards.

Since we know that Sally ended up with 9 boxes of strawberries, and sold half of the remaining strawberries, she must've had 18 boxes. Adding the 5 boxes from the beginning gets us 18+5=23

You also could've wrote an equation.

x=boxes of strawberries

x the total amount of boxes in the beginning of the day

x-5 the 5 boxes she sold

(x-5)/2 half of the remaining boxes sold

(x-5)/2=9 the amount left

Elliot collects miniature toy cars. He wants to fill 4 display cases.each display case holds 15 cars. He has 28 cars now, and he is able to buy 3 more every month with the money he saves from his allowance. How many more months will it be until elliot has enough cars to fill all 4 display cases?

Answers

Answer:

Elliot has to wait 11 months before he has enough cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Elliot has 4 display cases with each case being able to hold 15 cars. Thus we know

total # of cars Elliot can place in his display case = 4 * 15 = 60 cars

From this, we can figure out how many more cars Elliot needs by subtracting the amount of cars he already has

# of cars Elliot needs = 60 - 28 = 32 cars

Now to find the number of months Elliot needs, we divide by how many he can buy each month

# of months Elliot needs to save up for = 32 / 3 = 10 2/3

Assuming Elliot does not get his allowance until the end of the month, we will have to round the number of months up to the nearest integer, 11

3. A bag
contains 8red balls and 6 white balls. Two balls
are randomly drawn one after another without replace
mondo. Find the probability, of getting balls of diffecent colors

Answers

Answer:   48/91

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

Work Shown:

We have 8 red and 6 white giving 8+6 = 14 total

The probability of selecting red is 8/14.

After that ball is not replaced, we have 14-1 = 13 balls left. The number of white balls will not go down since only the red ball count goes down.

The probability of selecting white on the second selection is 6/13

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

So we can say

P(red first, then white) = P(red first)*(white second, given red first)

P(red first, then white) = (8/14)*(6/13)

P(red first, then white) = (8*6)/(14*13)

P(red first, then white) = 48/182

P(red first, then white) = 24/91

Let's label this as A.

A = 24/91

That way we can come back to it later.

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

Now let's say we pick white first, then red

So we'd have the following.

P(white first, then red) = P(white first)*(red second, given white first)

P(white first, then red) = (6/14)*(8/13)

P(white first, then red) = (6*8)/(14*13)

P(white first, then red) = 48/182

P(white first, then red) = 24/91

Let B = 24/91

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

Now we add up the values of A and B

A+B = 24/91 + 24/91

A+B = (24+24)/91

A+B = 48/91

How far will 25 N of force stretch a spring with a spring with a spring constant of 125 N/m?​

Answers

Answer:

-0.656168ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If Spring force constant (k)  is 125  N/m

And the force is (F) 25 N ,

then the spring displacement (Δx) -0.656168

Equation used:

Knowing Hooke's law, we can write it down it the form of a formula:

F = -kΔx

F is the spring force (in N);

k is the spring constant (in N/m); and

Δx is the displacement (positive for elongation and negative for compression, in m).

How to tell if your table is linear or exponential?

Answers

Answer: If the first difference is the same value, the model will be linear. If the second difference is the same value, the model will be quadratic. If the number of times the difference has been taken before finding repeated values exceeds five, the model may be exponential or some other special equation.

Step-by-step explanation: You can tell if a table is linear by looking at how X and Y change. If, as X increases by 1, Y increases by a constant rate, then a table is linear. You can find the constant rate by finding the first difference. This table is linear.

An Eastbound train (E) traveling 95 mph and a Westbound train (W) traveling 110 mph leave the same train station at different times. After 4 hours, they are 4 00 miles apart. Which system of linear equations can be used to determine the time that each of the trains has been traveling?

Answers

Answer:

The system of linear equations that can be used to determine the time that each of the trains has been traveling is:

E + W = 4 ....... Equation 1

95 E + 110W = 400  ......Equation 2

Hence,

An Eastbound train has been travelling for =  (E) = 2.67 hours

A Westbound train has been travelling for =  (W) = 1.33 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

An Eastbound train (E) traveling 95 mph and a Westbound train (W) traveling 110 mph leave the same train station at different times. After 4 hours, they are 4 00 miles apart. Which system of linear equations can be used to determine the time that each of the trains has been traveling?

Speed = Distance/Time

Distance = Speed × Time

Let the time

An Eastbound train =  (E)

A Westbound train =  (W)

E + W = 4 hours ....... Equation 1

95mph × E + 110mph × W = 400 miles

95 E + 110W = 400 miles ......Equation 2

The system of linear equations that can be used to determine the time that each of the trains has been traveling is:

E + W = 4 ....... Equation 1

95 E + 110W = 400  ......Equation 2

E = 4 - W

We substitute 4 - W for E in Equation 2

95 (4 - W) + 110W = 400  

380 - 95W + 110W = 400

Collect like terms

95W - 110W = 400 - 380

15W = 20

W = 20/15

W = 1.3333333333 hours

≈ 1.33 hours

E = 4 - W

E = 4 - 1.33 hours

E = 2.67 hours

Therefore,

An Eastbound train has been travelling for =  (E) = 2.67 hours

A Westbound train has been travelling for =  (W) = 1.33 hours
