In June 2012, Twitter was reporting 400 million tweets per day. Each tweet can consist of up to 140 characters (letter, numbers,

etc.). Imagine each character in the tweet cost a penny. A) How much would one tweet cost? Why? Write out your reasoning in words and support with calculations.

Each tweet could cost anywhere from 1 to 140 pennies, which can be expressed as an inequality [1 ≤ x ≤ 140]. Since it's impossible to tweet 0 characters or exceed 140. If required in pounds, simply divide by 100. A) 1 ≤ x ≤ 140 B) The cost per character is a penny, and tweeting fewer than 1 character or more than 140 is not permitted.

Members of a school club are buying matching shirts. They know at least 25 members will get a shirt. Long-sleeved shirts are $10
babunello [11817]

Answer:

The highest number of long-sleeved shirts that can be ordered is 8

and

The lowest number of long-sleeved shirts that can be acquired is 0

Step-by-step breakdown:

Let y denote the quantity of short sleeves and x indicate the quantity of long sleeves.

According to the stipulated conditions:

Members of a school club are purchasing coordinating shirts. They understand that a minimum of 25 members will opt for a shirt.

therefore, we have;

x+y\geq 25               or

y\geq 25 -x....[1]

Given that long-sleeved shirts are priced at $10 each and short-sleeved shirts at $5 each.

Thus;

The total expense for long sleeves amounts to 10x and

the total cost of short sleeves is 5y

Moreover; the club has a budget that does not exceed $165

therefore;

10x+5y\leq 165 

 5y\leq 165 -10x or

y\leq 33-2x......[2]

By plotting the inequality functions:

Graphing equations [1] and [2] produces a maximum at the coordinates (8, 17)

thus, x= 8.

Taking the minimum value of x =0 results in y falling between 25 and 33.

consequently, the solution space is situated between the intersecting lines to the left.

In conclusion, a maximum of 8 long-sleeved shirts can be obtained, while the minimum number of long-sleeved shirts that can be bought is 0

On the average, 1 1/3 bushels of seed are needed to plant 1 acre of wheat. How many bushels of seed would be required to plant 3
lawyer [12517]

Answer: You would need 40 bushels of seed to plant 30 acres of wheat.

Step-by-step explanation:

<pTypically, 1 1/3 bushels of seed are necessary to cultivate 1 acre of wheat. In improper fraction form, 1 1/3 bushels becomes 4/3 bushels.

Let x denote the bushels of seed required for 30 acres. Thus, we have

4/3 bushels = 1 acre

x = 30 acres

Cross multiplying gives us

x × 1 = 4/3 × 30

x = 40 bushels of seed

EVELYN HAD 9 DOLLS, BUT SHE LOST 1/3RD OF THEM AT DAYCARE. HOW MANY TOTAL DOLLS WOULD EVELYN HAVE HAD IF SHE HAD NOT LOST THEM?
Inessa [12570]
If Evelyn had not lost any dolls, she would have had a total of 9 dolls. Initially, Evelyn owned 9 dolls and lost 1/3 of them, which equals 3 dolls. As a result, after the loss, she had 6 dolls left. Consequently, had all the dolls remained with her, she would possess 9 dolls.
