A small fruit basket with 6 apples and 6 oranges costs $7.50. A different fruit basket with 10 apples and 5 oranges costs $8.75.

If x is the cost of one apple and y is the cost of one orange, the system of equations below can be used to determine the cost of one apple and one orange. 6x+6y=7.50 10x+5y=8.75

Answer:

x = $0.50

y= $0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Adjust the equations to align the coefficients

5(6x + 6y = 7.5) → 30x + 30y = 37.5

3(10x + 5y = 8.75) → 30x + 15y = 26.25

2. Subtract one equation from the other

30x + 30y = 37.5

- 30x + 15y = 26.25

15y = 11.25

3. Find y by dividing both sides by 15

y = 0.75

4. Insert 0.75 for y into one of the original equations

6x + 6(0.75) = 7.5

5. Perform simplification

6x + 4.5 = 7.5

6. Calculate the value of x

6x = 3

x = 0.5

The water pressure on Mustafa as he dives is increasing at a rate of 0.9920.9920, point, 992 atmospheres (\text{atm})(atm)left p
babunello [11817]
This issue involves a basic dimensional analysis. We are required to express the rate of 0.992 atm/m in the unit of atm/km.

In straightforward terms, dimensional analysis means converting a measurement into a different unit using conversion factors.

For this case, the necessary steps are:

\frac{0.992 atm}{m}= \frac{1000m}{1km} = \frac{992atm}{km}

We observe that 1000 meters = 1 kilometer was used as the conversion factor to change atm/m into atm/km. Consequently, we conclude with the answer 992 atm/km.

An oblique prism has trapezoidal bases and a vertical height of 10 units. An oblique trapezoidal prism is shown. The trapezoid h
Svet_ta [12734]

Response:

Volume of the trapezoidal prism = 15x^2 cubic units

Detailed explanation:

First, let’s calculate the area of the trapezoidal bases.

The lengths of the parallel sides are x and 2x, averaging to 1.5x.

The height stands at x

Consequently, area of the trapezoidal base comes out to be 1.5x * x = 1.5x^2

The volume of this prism is computed as area of the base multiplied by height

(the length is not a factor, but height certainly is)

Thus, 1.5x^2 * 10 yields 15x^2

Hank and Debra each own two milking cows. One day, they milked their cows and compared the amount of milk the cows produced in t
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

The result to your inquiry is 2 7/24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

Hank's cows yield = 4 3/4 and 4 1/8

Debra's cows yield = 5 1/2 and 5 2/3

Process:

1.- Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions:

For Hank: (16 + 3)/4 = 19/4 and (32 + 1)/8 = 33/8.

For Debra: (10 + 1)/2 = 11/2 and (15 + 2)/3 = 17/3.

2.- Add Hank's and Debra's milk quantities:

Hank: 19/4 + 33/8 = 38/8 + 33/8 = 71/8.

Debra: 11/2 + 17/3 = 33/6 + 34/6 = 67/6.

3.- Subtract Hank's total from Debra's total:

67/6 - 71/8 = (268 - 213)/24.

Thus, it simplifies to 55/24.

- Convert back to a mixed number:

2

24 55

7

Where 55/24 equals 2 7/24.

4.- Conclusion:

Debra produced 2 7/24 more milk than Hank.
