A certain country is divided into 5 provinces. Each province consists entirely of Progressives and Traditionalists. If each province contains the same number of Traditionalists and the number of Traditionalists in any given province is 1/10 the total number of Progressives in the entire country, what fraction of the country is Traditionalist

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

one third  (1/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have 5 provinces.

Each province contains the same number of Traditionalists, let's say that there are T traditionalists per province, thus, there are:

5*T in the country.

now we know that in each province, the number of traditionalists is equal to 1/10 of the total number of progressives in the entire country.

If there are a total of P progressives in the entire country, we will have that:

T = P/10

Then the total number of traditionalists in the entire country is:

5*T = 5*(P/10) = P/2

So in the whole country, there are P progressives and P/2 traditionalists.

So the total population is:

total = P + P/2 = (3/2)*P

We want to know what fraction of the country is traditionalist, this is equal to the quotient between the traditionalist population, P/2, and the total population, (3/2)*P

This is:

[tex]c = \frac{P/2}{(3/2)*P} = 1/3[/tex]

So one third of the country is traditionalist.

A fruitseller bought 50 kg of fruits. He sold 30 kg of fruits for the cost price of 35 kg of fruits and he sold the remaining quantity for the cost price of 18 kg of fruits. Calculate his profit or loss percent in the total transaction.​

Answers

Answer:

6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

For arguments sake lets assume each fruit cost $1.

He spent $50 for the fruit.

His income from the 30 kg he sold was $35.

His income from  the remaining 20Kg  was $18.

Total income = $35 + $18 = $53

So his profit was  53 - 50 = $3.

= (3/50) * 100

= 6%

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, as some coordinates to transform are not given.

I will, however, give a general explanation.

Rotate circle 270 degrees counterclockwise

This implies that, we rotate the center of the circle and the rule of this rotation is:

[tex](x,y) \to (y,-x)[/tex]

Assume the center is: (5,3), the new center will be: (3,-5)

Reflect square across y-axis

The rule is:

[tex](x,y) \to (-x,y)[/tex]

If the square has (3,5) as one of its vertices before rotation, the new point will be (-3,5).

Reflect triangle across y-axis, then 3 units up and 2 units left

The rule of reflection is:

[tex](x,y) \to (-x,y)[/tex]

If the triangle has (3,5) as one of its vertices before rotation, the new point will be (-3,5).

The rule of translating a point up is:

[tex](x,y) \to (x,y+h)[/tex] where h is the unit of translation

In this case, h = 3; So, we have:

[tex](-3,5) \to (-3,5+3)[/tex]

[tex](-3,5) \to (-3,8)[/tex]

The rule of translating a point left is:

[tex](x,y) \to (x-b,y)[/tex] where b is the unit of translation

In this case, b = 2; So, we have:

[tex](-3,8) \to (-3+2,8)[/tex]

[tex](-3,8) \to (-1,8)[/tex]

The L shape

[tex]A = (3, 8)[/tex]       [tex]A" = (-3, 1)[/tex]

[tex]B = (6, 8)[/tex]       [tex]B"= (-6, 1)[/tex]

[tex]C = (6, 3)[/tex]       [tex]C" = (-6, -4)[/tex]

[tex]D = (5, 3)[/tex]       [tex]D" = (-5, -4)[/tex]

Required

The transformation from ABCD to A"B"C"D"

First, ABCD is reflected across the y-axis.

The rule is:

[tex](x,y) \to (-x,y)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]A' = (-3,8)[/tex]

[tex]B' = (-6,8)[/tex]

[tex]C' = (-6,3)[/tex]

[tex]D' = (-5,3)[/tex]

Next A'B'C'D' is translated 7 units down

The rule is:

[tex](x,y) \to (x,y-7)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]A"= (-3,8-7) = (-3,1)[/tex]

[tex]B"= (-6,8-7) = (-6,1)[/tex]

[tex]C"= (-6,3-7) = (-6,-4)[/tex]

[tex]D"= (-5,3-7) = (-5,-4)[/tex]

A 42 inch wire is bent into the shape of a rectangle whose width is twice its
length. Set up an equation to find the length of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer: Choice A

2(2L + L)  = 42

=================================================

Explanation:

The length is L, which is some placeholder for a positive number.

The width is twice as much as this, so it's 2L

The perimeter is found by adding up the four sides (two of which are L, the other two are 2L)

So we have L+L+2L+2L = 2(2L+L) representing the perimeter.

Or we could use this formula

P = 2(L+W)

where L and W are the length and width respectively.

Either way, we end up with 2(2L + L) = 42

Answer:

42 = 2( l+2l)

Step-by-step explanation:

width = 2 length

Perimeter = 2 (l+w)

42 = 2( l+2l)

Divide each side by 2

42/2 = 2 (3l) /2

21 = 3l

Divide by 3

21/3 = 3l/3

7 = l

The length is 7

width is 2*l = 2*7 = 14

B. 38x + 17 = 225
C. 55x = 225
D. 38 + 17x = 225

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Shawn

Let the number of weeks = w

The beginning amount = 16 dollars

The amount per week is 10 dollars

The number of weeks is 10x

Equation

Savings = 16 + 10x

Mark

Let the number of weeks = w

The beginning amount = 22 dollars

The amount per week is 7 dollars

The number of weeks is 7x

Equation

savings = 22 + 7x

But they are working together so their separate equations must be added.

Total Savings= 16 + 10x + 22 + 7x = 38 + 17x

Answer: 17x + 38 = 225

PLS HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

Answers

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

2n can be the smallest integer, and 2n + 18 will be the largest integer.

The sum of this, divided by two, will result in the average/mean.

(2n + 2n + 18)/2 = 3

Multiply each side by 2:

(2n + 2n + 18)/2 ⋅ 2 = 3 ⋅ 2

2n + 2n + 18  =  6

Combine the like terms:

4n + 18 = 6

Subtract 18 from both sides:

4n + 18 - 18 = 6 - 18

4n = -12

Divide each side by 4:

4n/4 = -12/4

n = -3

Since we decided to go by 2n:

2n = 2(-3) = -6

The perimeter of a rectangle is 24 cm. If the length is 7 cm, find it width​

Answers

Answer:

The width is 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is

P = 2(l+w)

Substitute what we know

24 = 2(7+w)

Divide each side by 2

24/2 = 2/2(7+w)

12 = 7+w

Subtract 7 from each side

12-7 = 7+w-7

5 =w

The width is 5 cm

The formula for perimeter = 2 x length  + 2 x width

Fill in the known dimensions:

24 = 2 x 7 + 2 x width

Simplify:

24 = 14  + 2 x width

Subtract 14 from both sides:

10 = 2 x width

Divide both sides by 2:

Width = 5 cm

Answer: Width = 5 cm.

The floor is in the shape of square. Louis measures the area as 445 square feet. Find the diagonal of the floor.

Answers

Answer:

29.83 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you find the square root of 445, which is 21.09.

Then you use the Pythagorean theorem, which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2

because a and b are the same value you plug it in

21.09^2+21.09^2 = c^2

You end up getting:

c^2=889/5762

You then square root both sides to get:

c = 29.83, which is option 3

Graph the piece function using the values of a and b that you have found. You may graph by hand or use your calculator to graph and copy and paste into thedocument

Answers

Answer:

1. not continuous, as the function definitions deliver different function values at x=1 when approaching this x from the left and from the right side.

2.

2 = a + b

3.

0 = 2a + b

4.

a = -2

b = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

the function is continuous at a specific point or value of x, if the f(x) = y functional value is the same coming from the left and the right side at that point.

1. that means that for x=1

3 - x = ax² + bx

so,

3 - 1 = a×1² + b×1 = a + b

2 = a + b

we have to use a=2 and b=3

2 = 2 + 3 = 5

2 is not equal 5, so the assumed equality is false, so the function is not continuous there.

2. point 1 gave us already the working relationship between a and b.

2 = a + b

only if that is true, is the function continuous at x=1.

3. now for x=2

5x - 10 = ax² + bx

5×2 - 10 = a×2² + b×2 = 4a + 2b

10 - 10 = 4a + 2b

0 = 4a + 2b

0 = 2a + b

4. to find a and b to be continuous at both locations x=1 and x=2 both expressions in a and b must apply.

so, they establish a system of 2 equations with 2 variables.

2 = a + b

0 = 2a + b

a = 2 - b

0 = 2×(2-b) + b = 4 - 2b + b = 4 - b

b = 4

therefore

a = 2 - 4 = -2

5. I cannot draw a graph here.
