Mary is going to have an outdoor party in 10 days. She wants to have her backyard pond covered in water lilies before the party, so she goes to the nursery to buy some water lilies. Mary gives the clerk the dimensions of her pond, and the clerk, knowing the growth rate of the water lilies that he stocks, calculates that if she purchases a single water lily, it will produce a population of ten thousand lilies that will completely cover the surface of the pond in 20 days. Mary reasons that if she buys two water lilies instead of one, she can meet her goal of having the pond surface covered in 10 days. Is there anything wrong with Mary's reasoning? How many water lilies will Mary need to buy to meet her goal?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. There is nothing wrong with Mary's reasoning b. 2 water lilies.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. This is because, she reasons that if she doubles the amount of water lilies she buys, it would take half the time it takes to produce 10,000 lilies. So, there is nothing wrong with Mary's reasoning.

b. Since it takes 1 water lily to produce 10000 lilies in 20 days, 1 water lily will produce x lilies in 10 days.

So, x = 10000 × 10/20 = 5000 lilies

So, 1 water lily produces 5000 lilies in 10 days.

So, x water lilies will produces 10000 lilies in 10 days.

So x = 10000 × 1/5000 = 2 water lilies

So, 2 water lilies will produce 10000 lilies in 10 days.

So, Mary needs 2 water lilies so she can meet her goal of having the pond surface covered in 10 days.

2/5+6/10
What is the answer

Answers

We have to make sure the denominators are equal.

10 goes into 5 evenly, so we only need to multiply one term to get a common denominator.

Multiply 2 by 2, and get 4, then we multiply 5 by 2 and get 10

Now the equation is 4/10 + 6/10

Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators.

4 + 6 = 10

That gives us the sum, which is 10/10 aka 1 whole

Answer:

2/5 + 6/10 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of the cone is 7 in and y = 25 in. What is the volume of the cone in terms of π? A cone with a right triangle formed from its dimensions; the value of the height is h, and the value of the slant height is y; the height x and the radius form a right angle at the center of the cone.

Answers

Answer:

142.1π in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The radius (r) =  7 in

The slant height (y) = 25 in

Then the height (x) can be determined by using the Pythagoras rule:

y² = x² + r²

25² = x² + 7²

125 = x² + 49

125 - 49 = x²

x² = 76

x = √76

x = 8.7

The formula for the volume of a cone is;

= 1/3 πr²h

where;

height(h) is calculated as "x" from above = 8.7

Then;

= 1/3 × π × (7 in)² × 8.7 in

= 142.1π in³

What is the tax? What is the total paid?

Answers

Answer:

Cost of shoes = $37.4925

Cost of jacket = $92.4533

Tax = $9.81

Total paid = $144.2458

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal price of shoes = $49.99

Discount = 25%

Discounted price:

[tex]\$49.99 - \$49.99\times \dfrac{25}{100} = \$37.4925[/tex]

Normal price of jacket = $137.99

Discount = 33%

Discounted price:

[tex]\$137.99 - \$137.99\times \dfrac{33}{100} = \$92.4533[/tex]

Price of pack of cookies = $4.49

No discount on cookies as per question statement.

Total amount without tax = $37.4925 + $92.4533 + $4.49 = $134.4358

Sales Tax = 7.3% of total amount without tax = 7.3% [tex]\times[/tex] $134.4358 = $9.81

Total paid = $134.4358 + $9.81 = $144.2458
