i anyone need help post questions here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sue counted the turtles and birds in the pond. She counted 14 heads and 44 legs. How many turtles did Sue count? A. 4 B. 8 C. 11 D. 22

OpenStudy (jordan123321):

i would say 11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats 9+10=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think is 21

OpenStudy (jordan123321):

it is 21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok just making sure

OpenStudy (jordan123321):

i saw a video of someone doing it

OpenStudy (jordan123321):

@Jakob_ambrose

OpenStudy (jordan123321):

it is 11 the answer to ur question

OpenStudy (jordan123321):

medal if helped

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i medal

OpenStudy (jordan123321):

click best response @Jakob_ambrose

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the population of a local species of dragonfly can be found using an infinite geometric series where a1 = 42 and the common ratio is 3/4. write the sum in sigma notation and calculate the sum that will be the upper limit of this population

OpenStudy (jordan123321):

simplifi it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol idk how

OpenStudy (jordan123321):

ok well let me get somweone to help me and you

OpenStudy (jordan123321):

@iGreen

OpenStudy (amorfide):

the answer can not be 11 unless there were no birds lol

OpenStudy (jordan123321):

what

OpenStudy (amorfide):

the original questions says she counted BIRDS and TURTLES 14 heads, 44 legs only way you can get 11 turtles would be if there were 0 birds but then there wouldn't be 14 heads

OpenStudy (amorfide):

unless some turtles had an extra head lmao

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mutant tutles

OpenStudy (jordan123321):

oh ok srry

OpenStudy (amorfide):

you would make simultaneous equations you know there are 14 heads in total you know a bird and a turtle each have 1 head so if we let turtles be x and birds be y so you get an equation of x+y=14 then you know there are 44 legs you know a turtle has 4 legs, and bird has 2 legs so you get another equation of 4x+2y=44 now solve simultaneously

OpenStudy (amorfide):

for the geometric question

OpenStudy (jordan123321):

ur already right because there is 14 heads

OpenStudy (amorfide):

you know the sum to infinity of geometric series is \[\frac{ a }{ 1-r }\] where a is the first term and r is the ratio

OpenStudy (amorfide):

have a go at solving both questions from what I have told you and let me know if you still need help
