Let s denote the quantity of sports drinks purchased by April

Let p symbolize the amount of pizza slices bought by April

Since she spent a total of $21.25, the equation can be stated as:

s+p=21.25

p+3+p=21.25

2p=18.25

p=9.125

As she ordered 3 more sports drinks than pizza slices, we have s = p + 3

Response:

She purchased 8 sports drinks

Detailed explanation:

Full Question

April bought some sports drinks and slices of pizza for her friends. She bought 3 more sports drinks than slices of pizza. If her total order was 21.25, how many sports drinks did she purchase? One slice of pizza costs 2.25, and a sports drink costs 1.25.

Solution -

Let the total number of pizza slices purchased be X

Then the total number of sports drinks purchased would be X + 3

Given -

Cost of one slice of pizza = 2.25 dollars

Cost of one sports drink = 1.25 dollars

The total cost for X slices of pizza and X + 3 sports drinks would be

X * 2.25 + (X+3) * 1.25 = 21.25

2.25 X + 1.25 X + 3.75 = 21.25 \\3.5 X = 21.25 -3.75\\3.5 X = 17.5\\X = \frac{17.5}{3.5} \\X = 5

Thus, the count of pizza slices purchased equals 5

Consequently, the number of sports drinks acquired is

5 + 3\\8

Triangle KLM was dilated according to the rule DO,0.75 (x,y). What is true about the image △K'L'M'? Check all that apply. DO, 0.
Zina [11216]

The accurate statements are 0.75 (x,y) = (0.75x, 0.75y), LM is parallel to L'M', and "the vertices of the image are nearer to the origin relative to the pre-image".

Explanation:

It is stated that the triangle ABC underwent dilation as per the rule DO,0.75 (x,y)

DO, 0.75(x,y) signifies the dilation rule, where both x and y values are scaled by 0.75, indicating that the dilation, centered around the origin, has a scale factor of 0.75. The representation for this dilation would be,

(x,y)\rightarrow (0.75x,0.75y)

Consequently, the first statement holds true.

Since both x and y coordinates are scaled down by 0.75, the sides of the image are parallel, but shorter, with a scale of 0.75 compared to the pre-image’s sides.

Thus, the second statement "LM is parallel to L'M'" is also accurate, while the third and fifth statements are incorrect.

The scale factor of 0.75, being less than 1, suggests that the vertices of the image are closer to the origin compared to those of the pre-image.

Hence, the fourth statement "The vertices of the image are nearer to the origin compared to the pre-image" is indeed correct.

Student researchers Haley, Jeff, and Nathan saw an article on the Internet claiming that the average vertical jump for teens was
tester [10806]

Answer:

At the α = 0.10 level, there is no substantial evidence indicating that the average vertical jump for students at this school differs from 15 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

A hypothesis test is necessary to verify the assertion that the average vertical jump of students diverges from 15 inches.

The null and alternative hypotheses are:

H_0: \mu=15\\\\H_a: \mu\neq15

The significance level is set at 0.10.

The sample mean recorded is 17, and the sample standard deviation is 5.37.

The degrees of freedom are calculated as df=(20-1)=19.

The t-statistic is:

t_{19}=\frac{M-\mu}{s_M/\sqrt{n}} =\frac{17-15}{5.37/\sqrt{20}}=\frac{2}{5.37/4.47} =2/1.20=1.67

The two-tailed P-value corresponding to t=1.67 is P=0.11132.

<pSince this P-value exceeds the significance level, the result is not significant. Therefore, the null hypothesis remains unchallenged.

At the α = 0.10 level, there is no compelling evidence that the average vertical jump of students at this school deviates from 15 inches.

8439 divided by 245 with remainder
babunello [10289]
How often does 245 fit into 8? none.
into 84? none.
into 843? 3

Thus, the initial digit of the quotient is 3. Multiply 245 by 3 to obtain 735. Subtract this number from 843, resulting in 108. How many times does 245 go into 108?
none. Bring down a zero, creating 1080. How many times does 245 fit into 1080? 4, leaving a remainder of 100. And so forth.

Please attempt to work through this problem independently, manually.

________________
245 / 8439.00
-735
----------------

Can you complete this? Keep in mind that 843-735 equals 108. Now drop down a zero to make 1080. show your work.

Which are the roots of the quadratic function f(b) = b2 – 75? Select two options. b = 5 StartRoot 3 EndRoot b = Negative 5 Start
zzz [10999]

Answer:

b = 5√3

b = -5√3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

f(b)=b^{2}-75

Keep in mind, the root of a function corresponds to the value of x at which the function's output is zero.

In this case

The roots of the equation are the b values for which f(b) equals zero.

Thus

For f(b)=0

b^{2}-75=0

b^{2}=75

Take the square root of both sides

b=(+/-)\sqrt{75}

Now simplify

b=(+/-)5\sqrt{3}

b=5\sqrt{3}  and b=-5\sqrt{3}

So we find that

b = 5√3

b = -5√3
