The ratio of the ages of Mandy and Sandy is 2:5. After 8 years, their ages will be in the ratio 1:2. What is the difference between their present ages?

Caitlin says the difference in their ages is 24 years. In two or more complete sentences, explain whether or not Caitlin is correct. In your explanation, include the equations and calculations necessary to support or contradict Caitlin's answer.

Answers

Answer 1

A ratio shows us the number of times a number contains another number. Caitlin is right.

What is a Ratio?

A ratio shows us the number of times a number contains another number.

The ratio of the ages of Mandy and Sandy is 2:5. Therefore, the ratio will be,

M/S = 2/5

M = 2S/5

After 8 years, their ages will be in the ratio 1:2, therefore,

(M+8)/(S+8) = 1/2

2M + 16 = S + 8

2M - S = -16 + 8

Substitute the value of M,

2(2S/5) - S = -8

-0.2S = -8

S = 40

Now, if we substitute the value of S in the first ratio,

M/S = 2/5

M/40 = 2/5

M = 16

Now, if we take the difference in their ages the difference will be 24(40-16).

Since the difference is 24, we can conclude that Caitlin is right.

Hence, Caitlin is right.

Answer:

A. 11"

B. 39"

25 - 15 < x < 25 + 15

10 < x < 40

*x = whole number

Answer:

shortest: 11 incheslongest: 39 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two side lengths for a triangle, the triangle inequality tells you the third side must have a length between the difference and the sum of the given sides.

__

A. minimum length

The difference of the given sides 25 and 15 is ...

  25 -15 = 10

The smallest integer greater than 10 is 11.

The third side must be at least 11 inches long.

__

B. maximum length

The sum of the given sides is ...

  25 +15 = 40

The largest integer smaller than 40 is 39.

The third side must be at most 39 inches long.

_____

Additional comment

Formally, the triangle inequality tells you that sides a, b, c must satisfy ...

  a +b > c  and  b +c > a  and  c +a > b

When we're considering the length of third side (c), there are 3 cases to consider. 1) c is shortest; 2) c is between the other lengths; 3) c is longest. Without loss of generality, we can assume a > b.

1) c is shortest:

a+b>c is always true. b+c>a ⇒ c>a-b (the positive difference)c+a>b ⇒ c>b-a (the negative difference)

conclusion: c > a-b

2) a > c > b:

a+b>c is always true. b+c>a ⇒ c>a-b (the positive difference) c+a>b ⇒ c>b-a (the negative difference)

conclusion: c > a-b

3) c is longest:

a+b>c (the sum)b+c>a ⇒ c>a-b (the difference will be less than the sum)c+a>b ⇒ c>b-a (the negative difference will be less than the sum)

conclusion: a -b < c < a+b . . . . . . for a>b

Find the mean and median of the data. 31, 14, 18, 26, 17, 32

Answers

Answer:

The mean is 23

The median is 22

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean you have to do 2 steps:

Step 1: Add up all your numbers:

31 + 14 + 26 + 17 + 32 + 18

= 138

Step 2: Divide you answer by how many numbers there are(6):

138 ÷ 6

= 23

Now to find you median

First put the numbers in order:

14, 17, 18, 26, 31, 32

Now grab the middle number and since there are an even amount of numbers grab the 2 middle numbers:

14, 17, 18, 26, 31, 32

Now add the 2 numbers:

18 + 26

= 44

The last step is to divide your answer by 2:

44 ÷ 2

= 22

A bottle contains 20 blue bags and 15 red bags. If two bags are picked at random one after the other with replacement, what is the probability that the first bag is blue and then red?

Answers

Answer:

12÷49

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of bags in the bottle = 20 + 15 = 35

Then

the probability that the first bag is blue = 20/35

If we replace the first bag :

the probability that the second (picked) bag is blue = 15/35

Conclusion:

If two bags are picked at random one after the other with replacement

Then

the probability that the first bag is blue and then red is :

(20÷35)×(15÷35)

= (4÷7)×(3÷7)

= 12÷49

= 0.244897959184

Katy invests a total of $13,000 in two accounts paying 2% and 7% annual interest, respectively. How much was invested in each account if, after one year, the total interest was $310.00.

Invested at 2%___?
Invested at 7%___?

Answers

Answer:

2 % amount = 12000     7% amount = 1000 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 2% amount

 then  13 000 - x  = 7% amount

.02x   + .07 (13000-x)  = 310

-.05x + 910 = 310

.05x = 600

x = 600/.05 = 12000      then the 7% amount is 1000

if the area of a square is 32ft how long is the diagonal?

Answers

8 FEET LONG

A square has the same length all 4 sides, therefore in order to find the length of the sides, you would need to find the square root of 32, which would be 5.66 or 4 radical 2. Then to find the diagonal length you would need to split the square diagonally resulting in 2 triangles. We know the side lengths of the triangles but not the hypotenuse( longest side of triangle), which is the diagonal length. To figure this out we would use the Pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2. We know what a and b are so we substitute, do basic algebra, and find that c is equal to 8

Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the diagonal, we need to use two formulas:

Area of a square: [tex]A = s^{2}[/tex] (Area = side * side)

Pythagorean Theorem: [tex]a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}[/tex]  

Since  every side of a square is the same:

[tex]a^2 = b^2\\a = b = \sqrt{32} \\a^{2} = 32\\b^2 = 32[/tex]

Our equation:

[tex]32 + 32 = c^2\\64 = c^2\\8 = c[/tex]
