on a farm, 4 1/2 out of every 15 acres of land are used to grow crops. Wheat is grown on 5/8 of the land used to grow crops. What percentage of the total area of the land on the farm is used to grow wheat?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The answer is 18.75% (I THINK, I'm not very good at maths!) here's how I worked it out:

4.5 + 4 1/2 so for the first part it is a fraction 4.5/15 you then multiply this to 5/8 and get 225/120 which you can then simplify to 3/16 then you work out 3 divided by 16 and get 0.1875 and multiply this decimal by 100 to get the percentage, 18.75%. 

Hope this helped, but check with other people (I'm not very good at maths)!

B.x=-23
C.7x=35
D.4x=29

Answers

Final answer:

By manipulating and then adding the given system of equations, we can eliminate the variable 'y', resulting in the equation 7x = 35.

Explanation:

To eliminate the variable y in the given system of equations, we need to manipulate the equations to cancel out the y term. The system of equations is:

x + y = 2

3x - 4y = 27

We can accomplish y-elimination by first multiplying the first equation by 4 to match the coefficient in front of y in the second equation. The equations now are:

4x + 4y = 8

3x - 4y = 27

Now, we can add the two equations together, effectively eliminating the y-variable:

4x + 3x = 8 + 27

7x = 35

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 2

Subtract x from both sides;

y = -x + 2

3x - 4y = 27

Substitute y;

3x - 4(-x + 2) = 27

Distribute;

3x + 4x - 8 = 27

7x - 8 = 27

Add 8 to both sides;

7x = 35

Divide both sides by 7;

x = 5

Will has a quarter that he flips three times. What is the probability that the quarter will land on heads all 3 times?

Answers

Answer:

The answer will be 12.5%

This is because you divided it by the number of possibilities (which in this case is 2) then divide by the number of times (which is 3).

100 divided by 2 x 6 = 12.5%

The odds of flipping a quarter and getting heads three times in a row is a half the first and the other times as well. So each time the probability is halved, so the sender would be 1/8 or 12.5%

The raidus of circle p the larger circle is 7 times the radius of circle 0 the smaller circle. What is the ratio of the area of circle to the area of circle p?Your choices are: 1 to 7, 7 to 1, 49 to 1 , 1 to 49
plz explain

Answers

since we know that the radius of circle p is 7 times that of the radius of circle o we can say that radius of circle p equals 7x and the radius of circle o is x.
using the area formula we can say that area of circle p equals 

What is the vertex form of y = x^2 - 20x +15

Answers

so your equation is y = x² - 20x + 15. what you'll want to do is complete the square, so take half of 20 and square it. 20/2 = 10. 10² = 100. add 100 to both sides. and simplify x²-20x+100+15 to (x²-10)²+15. now subtract 100 from both sides to get y alone. this leaves you with y = (x²-10)-85. that's your vertex form.
Given a function:
y=ax²-bx+c
The vertex is: (-b/2a, f(-b/2a)

In this case:
y=x²-20x+15
-b/2a=20/2=10
f(10)=10²-20(10)+15=100-200+15=-85

Answer: The vertex is (10,-85)

Given a vertex (h,k), the vertex form is :
y=a(x-h)²+k

In this case:
(10,-85)
a=1
 
y=(x-10)²-85

Answer: y=(x-10)²-85

A recipe says to use 3.5 cups of flour to make 48 cookies. What is the constant of proportionality that relates the number of cookies made, y, to the number of cups of flour used, x. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer: 0.07 cups/cookie

Step-by-step explanation:

The Constant of proportionality is the measure by which the number of cookies made, y increases to the number of cups of flour used, x.

If 3.5 cups of flour makes 48 cookies then how many cookies does 1 cup make;

= 3.5/48

= 0.07 cups/cookie
