A carpenter purchased 50 ft of redwood and 90 ft of pine for a total cost of $274. A second purchase at the same prices include 80 ft of redwood and 50 ft of pine for a total cost of 335. Find the cost per foot of redwood and of pine​

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Redwood: $3.50 per foot

Pine: $1.10 per foot

Step-by-step explanation:

The manner that should be approach is by using the substitution method.

Therefore using the information from the question:

50 ft of redwood and 90 ft of pine give a total cost of $274

So we use this information and make a equation using x and y, in this case redwood would be x and pine would be y.

50x + 90y=274

We do this for the second purchase also...

80x+50y=335

Now, we have two equations that are perfect for the usage of the substitution method.

50x + 90y=274

80x+50y=335

Using one equation, in this case the top one, we must solve for either x or y (in this case we solved for y)

90y=274-50x

(90y)/(90) =(274)/(90) -(50x)/(90)

y=(274)/(90) -(50x)/(90)

Using this equation from above we insert this into the other equation that deals with the second purchase and solve for x now.

80x+50((274)/(90) -(50x)/(90))=335

80x+152.2-27.8x=335

80x-27.8x=182.8

(52.2x)/(52.2) =(182.8)/(52.2)

x=3.50

This is the cost of redwood so now we use this answer and plug it in either equation in order to get the cost of pine (y).

50(3.5)+90y=274

175+90y=274

(90y)/(90)=(99)/(90)

y=1.1

So therefore you get the two costs by using the substitution method!

The answers are - 5x+8y and 5(4)+2(8)=36
Explanation
To solve the equation, you would substitute x and y for 5 and 8.
-Ex: 5(4)+8(2)=36
The numbers in the parentheses get multiplied by the numbers on the outside. Making ‘5(4)’=20 and ‘8(2)’=16
So 5(4)+8(2)=36

Mona solved an equation incorrectly, as shown below:Step 1: 5x = 30
Step 2: x = 30 − 5
Step 3: x = 25

Which statement best explains why Step 2 is incorrect in Mona's solution?

She did not add 5 to 30.

She did not divide 30 by 5.

She did not multiply 30 by 5.

She did not multiply 30 five times.

Answers

Answer:

Option 2nd is correct

She did not divide 30 by 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the statement:

Mona solved an equation incorrectly, as shown below:

Step 1: 5x = 30

Step 2: x = 30 − 5

Step 3: x = 25

Step 2 is incorrect as she did not divide 30 by 5.

Correct steps for the equation are:

Step 1.

5x = 30

Step 2.

x = (30)/(5)

Step 3.

x = 6

Therefore, the statement which explains that Step 2 is incorrect in Mona's solution is, She did not divide 30 by 5.
Mona subtracted 5 where she should have divided 5. If the equasion was. x+5=30 then she would have subtracted 5.

The registrar keeps an alphabetical list of all undergraduates, with their current addresses. Suppose there are 10,000 undergraduates in the current term. Someone proposes to choose a number at random from 1 to 100, count that far down the list, taking that name and every 100th name after it for the sample. a) Is this a probability method?
b) Is it the same as simple random sampling?
c) Is there selection bias in this method of drawing a sample?

Answers

Answer:

The answer to this question can be defined as follows:

Step-by-step explanation:

Following are the description of the given points:

(a) This is a system of probability, which possibility occurs inside an intended manner whenever they choose this specific point of origin from 1 to 100 with no one reserve the possibility about who gets throughout the survey.  

(b) Its method is different from the random sampling technique with the base available. For example, two individuals whose names identical to both the list have no chance to join within the survey.  

(c) its sample is objective to its everyone can enter the test in equal measure.
