A special cereal mixture contains rice and wheat in the ratio of 2:3. If a bag of the mixture contains 3 pounds of rice, how much wheat does it contain?

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  4.5 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

The ingredients are proportional so ...

  wheat/rice = 3/2 = ??/3 lb

Multiplying by 3 lb gives ...

  ?? = (3 lb)(3/2) = 9/2 lb = 4.5 lb

The mixture contains 4.5 lb of wheat.

Additional comment

Writing the proportion with the unknown in the numerator makes it possible to find the solution in one step (multiply by the denominator). Any proportion can be written 4 different ways, so you can always choose one that makes the solution easy. (upside down and sideways)

  a/b = c/d   ⇔   b/a = d/c   ⇔   a/c = b/d   ⇔   c/a = d/b

A. (2,-4)
B. (4,-2)
C. (2,4)
D. (4,2)

Answers

(2x+4y=16).....1

(2x-4y=0).....2

then take equation 1 plus 2

x=4

then take equation 2 to solve for y

2x-4y=0

(2×4)-4y=0

y=2

therefore answer is D. (4,2)

A man walks for 2 hours at a certain speed. He then cycles at three times that speed for 4 hours. He goes 77 km altogether. Find the speed at which he walks.

Answers

The speed at which he walks is 7.7km/hr

The formula for calculating the distance is expressed as;

distance = speed * time

Let the speed moved by the man be x

If the  man walks for 2 hours at a certain speed, his distance will be 2x km

If he then cycles at three times that speed for 4 hours, the new the speed at which he walks is 7.7km/hr

If he goes 77km altogether, hence;

2x + 4(2x) = 77

2x + 8x = 77

10x = 77

x = 77/10

x =7.7km/hr

Hence the speed at which he walks is 7.7km/hr

A physical therapist wants to determine the difference in the proportion of men and women who participate in regular sustained physical activity. What sample size should be obtained the wishes the estimate to be within three percentage points
with 90% confidence, assuming that
(a) he uses the estimates of 21.3% male and 19.5% female from a previous year?
(b) he does not use any prior estimates?
(a)n (Round up to the nearest whole number)
(b) (Round up to the nearest whole number.)

Answers

Using the z-distribution and the formula for the margin of error, it is found that:

a) A sample size of 54 is needed.

b) A sample size of 752 is needed.

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]\frac{1+\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error is of:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

90% confidence level, hence[tex]\alpha = 0.9[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]\frac{1+0.9}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]z = 1.645[/tex].

Item a:

The estimate is [tex]\pi = 0.213 - 0.195 = 0.018[/tex].

The sample size is n for which M = 0.03, hence:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.03 = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.018(0.982)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.645\sqrt{0.018(0.982)}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645\sqrt{0.018(0.982)}}{0.03}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.645\sqrt{0.018(0.982)}}{0.03}\right)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 53.1[/tex]

Rounding up, a sample size of 54 is needed.

Item b:

No prior estimate, hence [tex]\pi = 0.05[/tex]

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.03 = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.5(0.5)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.645\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}}{0.03}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.645\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}}{0.03}\right)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 751.7[/tex]

Rounding up, a sample of 752 should be taken.

Outliers have very little or no effect on which of the following check all that apply mean median mode range or standard deviation

Answers

Outliers are data elements that are far from the other elements of a dataset, and they have little or no effect on the median and the mode

Outliers are usually large or very low values, and they always affect the mean of the dataset.

Also, they affect the range of the dataset.

The standard deviation is dependent on the mean of the dataset.

This means that, outliers would also have effects on the standard deviation.

However, outliers are most likely not to have a considerable effect on the median and the mode of the dataset.

Hence, the true options are mode and median

The third side of the Triangle should be greater than the difference of other two sides, so

[tex]x > 14 - 10[/tex]

[tex]x > 4[/tex]

And, The third side should be less than the sum of other two sides that is ~

• Cup: is a cooking measurement for volume, it very much common in sizes & cooking things.

• Tablespoon: a abundant (huge) sized spoon that’s used for serving.

• Liter: is the limitation of volume that is held which is balanced (equal to) to ONE cubic decimeter.

• Fluid ounce: is basically unit space that is held at 1/16th of a US pint.

Based on that information the one that seems closer to the RIGHT answer is:

[Option A. Cup]

[Option B Tablespoon]

[Option D. Fluid Ounce]

Random fact:

• [1 (US) CUP] is approximately [8 (US) OUNCE]
