MIDDLE SCHOOL MATH On the subway 8 out of 10 people are carrying a briefcase. Based on this information, if there are 700 people on the subway, then about how many do NOT have a briefcase?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

140

Step-by-step explanation:

If 8 out of 10 are carrying a briefcase, that means 2 out of 10 are not carrying one.

Use a proportion to find how many don't have a briefcase with 700 people

Let x represent the number of people without a briefcase:

[tex]\frac{2}{10}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{700}[/tex]

Cross multiply and solve for x

10x = 1400

x = 140

So, 140 people do not have a briefcase

Answer 2

Answer:

140

Step-by-step explanation:

8/10 people, there's 700 people

10 multiplied by 70 =700.

2 people dont have briefcases = 2 times 70=140

Answer:

3 feet per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at an easy to read point on a grid line intersection.

Then find the slope. Slope = constant of proportionality.

For example, look at point (2, 6) which means that when time = 2 minutes, distance = 6 feet.

(6 ft)/(2 sec) = 3 feet per minute

Answer: 3 feet per minute

A water tank holds 216 gallons but is leaking at a rate of 3 gallons per week. A second water tank holds 324 gallons but is leaking at a rate of 5 gallons per week. After how many weeks will the amount of water in the two tanks be the same?

Answers

Answer:

54  

Step-by-step explanation:

216 - 3x = 324 -5x

subtract 216 from both sides

add 5x to both sides

divide both sides by 2x.

write an equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence. Then find a40.

1/4,1/2,3/4,1,...​

Answers

Answer:

The nth term is: [tex]a_n = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4}(n-1)[/tex]

a40 = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence:

In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same, and this difference is called common difference.

The nth term of a sequence is given by:

[tex]a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d[/tex]

In which [tex]a_1[/tex] is the first term and d is the common difference.

1/4,1/2

This means that:

[tex]d = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{4} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

1/4

This means that [tex]a_1 = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

The nth term is:

[tex]a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d[/tex]

[tex]a_n = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4}(n-1)[/tex]

Then find a40.

[tex]a_{40} = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4}(40-1) = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{39}{4} = \frac{40}{4} = 10[/tex]

So

a40 = 10

How do I evaluate:
(-1000)1/3

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  -10

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to write what you mean. We think you mean (-1000)^(1/3).

If you've been paying attention to place-value, and/or cubes of small integers, you already know that 10^3 = 1000. Since we're concerned with an odd power, we also know ...

  -1000 = (-10)^3

Then your expression is ...

  (-1000)^(1/3) = ((-10)^3)^(1/3) = (-10)^(3/3) = (-10)^1 = -10

__

Some calculators can evaluate this for you (see attached).

Some calculators and spreadsheets use logarithms to compute roots or fractional powers, so will give you an error when you try to compute this. You should know that an odd-index root of a negative number (here, 3rd root of -1000) has the same sign as the number: negative. Then you can use your calculator to compute the positive root and add the sign yourself:

  (-1000)^(1/3) = -(1000^(1/3)) = -(10) = -10

_____

Of course, a 1/3 power is the same as a cube root. Your calculator may have a cube root button that works just fine with negative numbers.

O d. (x - 5)²+(y - 3)2 = 0

Answers

The answer is D to your question

the Equation A. r²+ y² = 5 degenerate the circle.

What are the properties of the circle?

The circumference, which is the distance around the object, the diameter, which is the length of a circle measured from one end to the other and passing through its center, and the radius, which is equal to half of the diameter, are the three key characteristics.

The general coordinate equation of a circle is:

(x-h)² + (y - k)² = r²

Where,

(h, k) is the center of a circle,

"r" is the radius of the circle.

Only option A, r²+ y² = 5

Satisfies the general equation of the line,

thus, From option A the coordinates of the circle on the plane r-y

is (0, 0) and the radius of the circle will be √5.

From option B,  x+y=7

It is the equation of the line.

From option C, x² + y² = -2

The sum of two squares can not be negative so it is not a real equation

From equation D, (x - 5)²+(y - 3)² = 0

The radius of a circle can not be zero otherwise it will become a point.

therefore, the Equation A. r²+ y² = 5 degenerate the circle.

Find the slope of a line that goes through the points (5,-2) and (1,0).
A. 1/2 B. - 1/2 C. 2 D. -2

Answers

Answer:

B(-1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

So remember, the slope is y2-y1/x2/x1. Note that y2 means the second y adn x2 means the second x.

So lets plug in our numbers for the top of our fraction, y2-y1. This is 0- - 2.

You should get postive 2, since -- equals a + so it would be 0+2 equaling 2.

This is your y value of your slope.

Next lets find the x value of the slope.

Lets plug in our numbers for the bottem raction this time, which is x2-x1. This is 1-5.

You should get negative 4, since 1-5 equals -4.

This is the x value of the slope.

Knowing your y and x value of the slope, we can tell that the slope will be:

2/-4

This can be simplyfied to -1/2. Since 2 goes into 2, 1 time(for y). Then 2 goes into -4, -2 times(for x). So now its 1/-2.

The negative sign can just be moved to the front since it is the only negative and does not change:

Find the 10th term of the arithmetic sequence -x + 9, 4x + 14, 9x + 19, ...

Answers

Answer:

44x + 54

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by :

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

d = common difference = T2 - T1

d = T2 - T1

a = first term = - x + 9

d = 4x + 14 - (-x + 9)

d = 4x + 14 + x - 9

d = 5x + 5

The 10th term:

T(10) = (-x + 9) + (10 - 1)*(5x + 5)

T(10) = - x + 9 + 9(5x + 5)

T(10) = - x + 9 + 45x + 45

T(10) = 44x + 54

Hence, the 10th term is 44x + 54

The length of a rectangular swimming pool is exactly three times as long
as its width. If the pool has a perimeter of 472m find the width of the pool

Answers

Answer:

59m

Step-by-step explanation:

Length= 3 × ( width)

But perimeter= 2width + 2 Lenght= 472

Let length= X

Width= Y

X= 3Y.........eqn(1)

2X + 2Y= 472........eqn(2)

Substitute X= 3Y in eqn(2)

2(3Y) + 2Y = 472

6Y + 2Y= 472

8Y= 472

Y= 59 m

Hence, the width of the pool is 59 m
