Last month, there were 7 adults for 56 children, which is the minimum ratio allowed under state law. This month, 74 children are expected to enroll. How many adults will there need to be at the center? Your answer

Answers

Answer 1

10 adults

Explanation

Step 1

find the unit rate

[tex]\text{unit rate=}\frac{Number\text{ of Children}}{\text{Number of adults}}[/tex]

Let

number of children=56

number of adults=7

replace,

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{unit rate=}\frac{Number\text{ of Children}}{\text{Number of adults}}= \\ \text{unit rate=}\frac{56\text{ Children}}{7\text{ adults}} \\ \text{unit rate= 8 Children per adult} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Step 2

Let x represents the adults needed for 74 children

find the unit rate:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{unit rate=}\frac{Number\text{ of Children}}{\text{Number of adults}} \\ \text{unit rate=}\frac{74}{x} \end{gathered}[/tex]

as the unit rate must be the same

[tex]\begin{gathered} 8\frac{Children}{\text{adult}}=\frac{74}{x} \\ 8=\frac{74}{x} \\ cross\text{ multiply} \\ 8x=74\cdot1 \\ 8x=74 \\ \text{divide both sides by 8} \\ \frac{8x}{8}=\frac{74}{8} \\ x=9.25 \\ \text{hence, we n}eed\text{ 10 adults at the center} \end{gathered}[/tex]

What postulate or theorem is used in the picture below?

Answers

If we have that in two triangles we have that the corresponding sides and the included angle are congruent, then we can say that both triangles are congruent. This is called the SAS (side-angle-side) postulate.

Then, in summary, the method that proves that both triangles are congruent is SAS (Side-Angle-Side) postulate (second option).

Manuel used pattern blocks to build the shapes below. The block marked A is a square, B is a trapezoid, C is a rhombus (aparallelogram with equal sides), and D is a triangle. Find the area of each of Manuel's shapes.

Answers

Solving for area of first figure

Recall the following formula for area of 2D figures

[tex]\begin{gathered} A_{\text{square}}=s^2 \\ A_{\text{trapezoid}}=\frac{a+b}{2}h \end{gathered}[/tex]

The first figure consist of 2 figures with a square of side length of 2.5 cm, and a trapezoid with length 2.5 cm for the upper base, 5 cm for the lower base, and 2 cm for the height.

Calculate the area by getting the sum of the areas of the two figures

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Square: }s=2.5\text{ cm} \\ \text{Trapezoid: }a=2.5\text{ cm},b=5\text{ cm},h=2\text{ cm} \\ \\ A=s^2+\frac{a+b}{2}h \\ A=(2.5\text{ cm})^2+\frac{2.5\text{ cm}+5\text{ cm}}{2}\cdot2 \\ A=6.25\text{ cm}^2+\frac{7.5\text{ cm}}{\cancel{2}}\cdot\cancel{2}\text{ cm} \\ A=13.75\text{ cm}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The area of the first figure therefore is 13.75 square centimeters.

Solving for the area of the second figure

Recall the following areas for 2D figures

[tex]\begin{gathered} A_{\text{triangle}}=\frac{1}{2}bh \\ A_{\text{rhombus}}=bh \end{gathered}[/tex]

Using the same procedures as above, we get the following

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Triangle: }b=2.5\text{ cm},h=2.2\text{ cm} \\ \text{Rhombus: }b=2.5\text{ cm},h=2\text{ cm} \\ \\ A=\frac{1}{2}(2.5\text{ cm})(2.2\text{ cm})+(2.5\text{ cm})(2\text{ cm}) \\ A=\frac{1}{2}(5.5\text{ cm}^2)+5\text{ cm}^2 \\ A=2.75\text{ cm}^2+5\text{ cm}^2 \\ A=7.75\text{ cm}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the area of the second figure is 7.75 square centimeters.

Problem:

A company purchased 10,000 pairs of men's slacks for $18.86 per pair and marked them up $22.63. What was the selling price of each pair of slacks? Use the formula S=C+M​.

Solution:

Cost = $18.86

Markup = $22.63

Markup = Sell Price - Cost

Sell Price = Cost + Markup

Sell Price = 18.86+ 22.63

Sell Price = $41.49

The selling price of each pair of slacks was $41.49.

What is the best approximation for the area of a semi-circle with a diameter of 11.8 ( Use 3.14 for pie

Answers

Answer:

54.7units^2

Explanation:

Area of a semi-circle = \pid^2/8

d is the diameter of the semi circle

Given d = 11.8

Area = 3.14(11.8)^2/8

Area of the semi circle = 3.14(139.24)/8

Area of the semi circle = 437.2136/8

Area of the semi circle = 54.6517units^2

Hence the best approximation is 54.7units^2

Solve the following equation for and y - 3 - 7i + 6x = 19 + 2i + 13yi

Answers

Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided equation, we are going to solve it, so we obtain the following:

[tex]\begin{gathered} -3-7i+6x=19+2i+13yi \\ (-3+6x)-7i=19+(2+13y)i \end{gathered}[/tex]

So let's remember that a set of complex numbers can only be equal if their real and imaginary parts are equal. According to this we have:

-3+6x=19, -7=2+13y

6x=19+3, -7-2=13y

6x=22, -9=13y

x=22/6, y=-9/13

x=11/3, y=-9/13

Finally we obtain the following set: x=11/3, y=-9/13.

Volume of empty jar 8x² + 2x - 4

Volume of water poured = 4x² - 3x + 2

More number of cubic inches that the jar can still hold= (8x² +2x - 4) -(4x²- 3x+2)

Answers

ANSWER

[tex]y=13700(0.919)^x[/tex]

Value of the car after 12 year: $4971.72

EXPLANATION

The exponential regression equation is

[tex]y=ab^x[/tex]

Using the values of the table we can find both a and b. Note that a is the value of y when x = 0, so a = 13700.

For b replace a, and x and y with the next values of the table:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 12590=13700b^1 \\ b=\frac{12590}{13700} \\ b\approx0.919 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The equation is

[tex]y=13700(0.919)^x[/tex]

To find the value of the car after 12 years, replace x = 12:

BD bisects ABC. Ifm ABD - 3x +27 andm2DBC = 8x-33, what ism2 DBC?

Answers

because the line BC bisects the angle ABC we can do the next equality

the angles DBC and ABD are equals

angle ABD = angle DBC

the value of ABD = 3x+37

the value of DBC = 8x-33

then we can do the next equality with the values

3x+27=8x-33

we need to clear x, so the terms of x will go to the right side and the terms without x will go to the left side

27+33=8x-3x

60=5x

we can change the sides in order to have x

5x=60

x=60/5

x=12

angle DBC=8(12)-33=63

the angle DBC is 63°

Answers

Using the properties of aspect ratio we calculate that approximately 89.3% of the picture will be used in the new frame.

The original picture has the dimension 5 × 7 inches .

The new dimension is 8 by 10.

Now let us consider that the height is 8 inches but the width will be x for the increased size picture.

Now we will us ratio to find the width.

original / new = 5/8 = 7 / x

or, x = 11.2 inches.

Area of the new picture = 11.2 × 8 = 89.6 square inches.

Area of the picture frame = 8 × 10 = 80 square inches.

Percentage of picture used

= 80 /89.6 × 100 %

= 89.268...

≈ 89.3%

Therefore using the properties of aspect ratio we calculate that approximately 89.3% of the picture will be used in the new frame.

It is reported that approximately 20 squaremiles of dry land and wetland were convertedto water along the Atlantic coast between 1996and 2011. A small unpopulated island in the AtlanticOcean is 2000 ft wide by 9,380 feet long. Atthis rate, how long before the island issubmerged?

Answers

2 months

1) Notice that the sinking rate is 20miles² per 5 years (2011-1996) so:

[tex]\frac{20}{5}=\frac{4m^2}{y}[/tex]

So the rate is 4 square miles per year.

2) We need to convert those measures from feet to miles:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 1\text{ mile=5280ft} \\ 2000ft=\frac{2000}{5280}=0.378miles \\ 9380ft=\frac{9380}{5280}=1.7765miles \end{gathered}[/tex]

So, now let's find the area multiplying the width by the height:

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=1.7765\cdot0.378 \\ A=0.671517m^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now, considering the sinking rate of 4miles²/year we can write the following pair of ratios:
