Answers

Answer 1
Answer: d=number of dogs
c=cats

d equals 4 less than 2 times c
d=-4+2c
20 dogs
d=20
subsitute
20=-4+2c
add 4
24=2c
divide 2
12=c
12 cats

Using the example above, the new high way will be a total of 54 miles long. Will the highway be finished in 8 months

Answers

The above problem is incomplete. I have read the whole problem.

Given:
54 miles long highway
5 3/5 miles constructed per month.

Will the highway be finished in 8 months?

5 3/5 ⇒ ((5*5)+3)/5 = 28/5

28/5 * 8/1 = 28*8 / 5*1 = 224/5 = 44.8 miles or 44 4/5 miles

No. The highway can not be finished in 8 months. Only 44.8 miles or 44 4/5 miles will be constructed by that time.

54 ÷ 28/5 = 54 * 5/28 = 54*5 / 28 = 270 / 28 = 9.64 months or 9 18/28 or 9 9/14 months must be spend to complete the highway.

If a flexible air-filled container has a volume of 40 cu ft on the surface, what would the volume be at 99 feet in sea water

Answers

The volume of flexible air filled container at 99 feet in sea water is 10 cu.ft.

What is Boyle's law?

Boyle's Law states that If the temperature is constant, the volume of a  gas is inversely proportional to the absolute pressure.

V 1/V2 =P2/P1

V2 = P1 x V1 /P2

Substitute 60 psi for P2, 14.7 psi for P1 and 40cu.ft for V1, we get the volume V2

V2 = 40 x 14.7 / 60

V2 = 9.8 cu.ft

Volume is approximately 10 cu.ft.

Thus, the volume of flexible air filled container at 99 feet in sea water is 10 cu.ft.

5 packets of different sizes have a total mass of 800 g find their average mass

Answers

(800g)/(5 packets) = (160g)/(1 packet) average mass
To find the average of a quantity, we simply take the total and divide by the number of products contributing to that data:
800/5 = 160g

A number is doubled and then decreased by 13. the result is 61. what is the ordinal number?

Answers

let x be the number
x + x - 13 = 61
2x - 13 = 61
2x = 61 + 13
2x = 74
2x/2 = 74/2
x = 37
i would use the inverse operation.
61 divided by 2 plus 13 equals 43.5
