Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Bags collected by reggie and Courtney are 6, 9 respectively.

SOLUTION:

Given, Reggie and Courtney are picking up trash along the highway.  

Together they have collected 15 bags of trash.

Courtney has collected 3 more bags then Reggie.  

We have to find how many bags have they each collected?

Let the number bags collected by reggie be n, then number of bags collected by Courtney will be 15 – n.

Now, according to the given information,

Number of bags with Courtney = 3 + number of bags with reggie

15 – n = 3 + n

n + n = 15 – 3

2n = 12

n = 6

so, reggie collected 6 bags, then, Courtney collected 15 – 6 = 9 bags.

Hence, bags collected by reggie and Courtney are 6, 9 respectively

a school has 294 chairs.there are 14 chairs at each table. two chairs will be removed from each table.how many chairs will be left in the cafeteria?

Answers

When two chairs will be removed from each table, then there would be 252 chairs left in the cafeteria.

The dividend divisor quotient remainder formula:

Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder.

For given question,

total number of chairs = 294

there are 14 chairs at each table.

So, to find the number of tables in the cafeteria we need to divide total number chairs by 14.

The number of table would be,

= 294/14

= 21

This means, there are 21 tables.

If we remove two chairs from each table, then number of chairs at each table would be 14 - 2 = 12

So, the total number of chairs left in the cafeteria would be,

= 21 × 12

= 252

Hence, there will be 252 chairs left in the cafeteria.

Answer:

252

Step-by-step explanation:

because there are 14 chairs at each table => there are: 294/14= 21 (tables)

two chairs will be removed from each table => the number of chairs removed are: 21.2 = 42 (chairs)

the chairs  will be left in the cafeteria are: 294 - 42 = 252( chairs)

Sketch the angle in standard position -95

Answers

Sketching the angle at standard position starts at Quadrant I. Imagine a cartesian plane, Quadrant I is located where x and y values are positive.

So the angle 0 is at the positive y-axis position; 90 degrees is at positive x-axis.
Sketching positive angles starts from positive y-axis counterclockwise.
Sketching negative angles stars from positive y-axis clockwise.

The question asked for the -95 degrees, the it is located at Quadrant III.

P (1+r)^n $750 at 7% for 9 years compounded annually
Total amount=
Interest amount=

Answers

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount = P(1+r)^n

Here, P=$750

r=7/100=0.07

n=9

Total amount=

750(1+0.07)^9\n\n=750* 1.07^9\n\n=\$ 1378.8

Interest amount=Total amount-Initial amount

                         =1378.8-750

                        = $628.8

Hence,

Total amount=

$1378.8

Interest amount=$628.8

A = 750(1+0.07)^9
A = $1378 

$1378 - $750 = $628

total amount = $1378 
interest amount =
 $628

The number of combinations of 3 cows out of 7 is (7·6·5) / 3!  = 35 .

The number of combinations of 2 pigs out of 4 is  (4·3)/2  =  6

The number of combinations of 10 sheep out of 10 is  1 .
