Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of milk

LBH

L= 8, B= 5 and H =12

5×8×12=480

After rotation

L= 8, B=15 and H=x

V=LBH

480=8×15×x

480=120x

x=4cm

Answer:

The depth of the milk is 4cm when turned

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to figure out how much milk is inside the container. We can do this by finding the volume it takes up. The milk's depth is 12cm so the height is 12 instead of 15. The length and width remain the same (5 and 8)

5x8x12=480 cm^3

The volume of the milk is 480, so when the carton is turned, the milk's volume still is the same

When it is turned, the base changes. Now it is 8 and 15 for the length and width. We just need to find the height.

8x15xh=480

120h=480

h=4

The depth of the milk is 4cm when turned

Jess receives a $15000 salary for working as an engineer. If Jess has to spend $6000 of her salary on expenses each year, then what percent of Jess's money does she have to spend? Round your answer to the nearest whole number if necessary.

Answers

Answer:

Jess will have to spend 40% of her salary

Step-by-step explanation:

Jess salary = $15,000

Jess expenses = $6,000

what percent of Jess's money does she have to spend

Percentage of Jess expenses = Jess expenses / Total salary × 100

= 6,000 / 15,000 × 100

= 0.4 × 100

= 40%

Jess will have to spend 40% of her salary

In exercises 22 24 , describe how the change affects the surface area of the right prism or right cylinder .

Answers

Answer:

  22. The surface area is 1/9 of its original value

  24. The surface area is 120 m^2 less than its original value.

Step-by-step explanation:

22. For similar figures, the surface area is proportional to the square of the linear dimension scale factor. Multiplying all linear dimensions by 1/3 will result in reducing the surface area to (1/3)^2 = 1/9 of its original value.

__

24. As above, the scaled base surface area will be (1/4)^2 = 1/16 of its original value. Since one dimension of the lateral area is multiplied by 4 and the other dimension is multiplied by 1/4, the net effect on that area is multiplication by (1/4)(4) = 1. That is, the lateral area will remain unchanged.

The overall surface area will be reduced by 15/16 of the area of the bases. The area of the bases is (2)(1/2)(8 m)(16 m) = 128 m^2. The changed figure will have a surface area that is 120 m^2 smaller.

The size of a television screen is given as 95 cm, correct to the nearest 5 cm.
Write down the upper bound of the size of the television screen.

Answers

Answer:

The upper bound is 97.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The upper bound is given as the value that is larger than or equal to all values in a data set, for example, in the data set, {3, 6, 16, 23, 25}, an upper bound  is 25, however, where the accuracy of the data is given, the upper bound can be found by the following relation

Where the number is given to the nearest 100, add and subtract  half of hundred to obtain the upper bound and lower bound respectively

For the question, given that the size of the television is given as 95 cm, correct to the nearest 5 cm, we add add half of 5 cm to get the upper bound as follows;

Upper bound = 95 cm + 5/2 cm = 97.5 cm

The upper bound = 97.5 cm.

a businessman bought three machines at rs 5400 each and spent 4000 on rearing and sold the machines for Rs Rs 7000 each, how much profit didi he make?

Answers

Answer:

[tex] \boxed{Rs \: 800}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of three machines with repairment charge ( CP ) = 5400 × 3 + 4000

= Rs 20200

Selling price of 1 machine = Rs 7000

Selling price of 3 machines ( S.P )= Rs 7000 × 3

= Rs 21000

Since , SP > CP , he made a profit

Profit = SP - CP

= Rs 21000 - Rs 20200

= Rs 800

--------------------------------------------------------------

Further more explanation

Profit and loss

In any business , owners have intension to have profit by selling articles. The price at which an article is purchased is called it's Cost price ( C.P ) and the price at which it is sold is called Selling price ( S.P ).

If the selling price is less than cost price of an article then there is a loss.

[tex] \mathrm{Loss \: = \: Cost \: Price \: (C.P) - Selling \: Price \: (S.P)}[/tex]

If the selling price is more than cost price of an article then there is a profit ( gain )

[tex] \mathrm{Profit = Selling \: Price \: (S.P) - Cost \: Price \: (C.P)}[/tex]

So, If S.P > C.P, there is profit in dealing.

If C.P > SP , there is loss in dealing.

Total cost to build

Answers

Answer:

$635

Step-by-step explanation:

$5x7 birdhouses=$35want

So, $35+$600=$635 total!

I hope this helps you!

Multiplication is the process of multiplying. The cost of building 7 birdhouses will be $635.

What is multiplication?

Multiplication is the process of multiplying, therefore, adding a number to itself for the number of times stated. For example, 3 × 4 means 3 is added to itself 4 times, and vice versa for the other number.

The cost of the birdhouse is the sum of the fixed cost, which is the setup cost of the business of $600, and the variable cost is the cost that is needed to make a single house, therefore, $5.

Now, the total cost of making n number of houses will be,

Cost of making n house = Fixed cost + variable cost

                                        = $600 + $5(n)

Further, the table can be filled using the above formula by substituting the value of n for the number of houses. Therefore,

Number of bird houses     Total cost to build

       1                                     $600+$5(1) = $605

       2                                    $600+$5(2) = $610

       3                                    $600+$5(3) = $615

       4                                    $600+$5(4) = $620

       5                                    $600+$5(5) = $625

       6                                    $600+$5(6) = $630

       7                                    $600+$5(7) = $635

Hence, the cost of building 7 birdhouses will be $635.

A physiological psychologist has performed an experiment to determine if a particular drug, smartozine, affects maze learning in rats. Three groups of 8 rats each are injected with one of three different doses of smartozine, while a fourth group of 6 rats is injected with a saline solution as a control. After the injection, rats in all four groups are timed in how long it takes them to learn to traverse a maze. The results of the experiment are presented below. Did smartozine affect how quickly the rats learned the maze. Use a level of significance of.05 SSB 610 SSW = 1742 What is the critical value of F for this situation?

Answers

Answer:

The critical value of F for this situation is 2.975.

Step-by-step explanation:

A test is being performed to determine if a particular drug, smartozine, affects maze learning in rats.

The groups are divided as follows:

Three groups of 8 rats each are injected with one of three different doses of smartozine.The fourth group of 6 rats is injected with a saline solution as a control.

So, there were in total k = 4 groups with n = 30 rats.

The significance level of the test is, α = 0.05.

Compute the critical value of F as follows:

[tex]F_{\alpha, (k-1, n-k)}=F_{0.05, (4-1, 30-4)}=F_{0.05, (3,26)}=2.975[/tex]

*Use the F-table.

Thus, the critical value of F for this situation is 2.975.

The critical value of F for this situation has been 2.975.

The F value has been the statistical factor that has been used for the determination of the significance of the test.

The high F value has been the representation of the rejected null hypothesis, while the low  F value represents the accepted hypothesis. The study that has been performed with the rats has:

Number of groups of rats = k = 4

Total number of rats = n = 30

The 0.05 significance test has been performed, thus the value of α has been 0.05.

The value of F can be given as:

Critical value = [tex]\rm F_\alpha_\;_,(_k_-_1,_n_-_k_)[/tex]

Substituting the values:

Critical value = [tex]\rm F_0._0_5,_(_4_-_1,_3_0_-_4_)[/tex]

Critical value = 2.975

Thus, the critical value of F for this situation has been 2.975.

Answers

Answer:

area of polygon = 88 sq. units

Step-by-step explanation:

lets make it simple, short and accurate.

area of polygon = total area - total area of triangles

total area = 11 * 12 = 132

triangle 1 = 1/2 * 5 * 5 = 12.5

triangle 2 = 1/2 * 3 * 6 = 9

triangle 3 = 1/2 * 3 * 8 = 12

triangle 4 = 1/2 * 3 * 7 = 10.5

total area of triangle = 12.5 + 9 + 12 + 10.5 = 44

area of polygon = 132 - 44 = 88 sq. units

Answer:

It was a rank wild growth, with many green leaves on it still, and made an impression of thorniness. The fruit was hard and green, but looked as if it would be palatable in the winter. Some was dangling on the twigs, but more half-buried in the wet leaves under the tree, or rolled far down the hill amid the rocks. The owner knows nothing of it. The day was not observed when it first blossomed, nor when it first bore fruit, unless by the chickadee. There was no dancing on the green beneath it in its honor, and now there is no hand to pluck its fruit,which is only gnawed by squirrels, as I perceive. It has done double duty,not only borne this crop, but each twig has grown a foot into the air. And this is such fruit! Bigger than many berries, we must admit, and carried home will be sound and palatable next spring. What care I for other apples so long as I can get these? 2 When I go by this shrub thus late and hardy, and see its dangling fruit, I respect the tree, and I am grateful for Natures bounty, even though I cannot eat it. Here on this rugged and woody hillside has grown an apple-tree, not planted by man, no relic of a former orchard, but a natural growth, like the pines and oaks. Most fruits which we prize and use depend entirely on our care. Corn and grain, potatoes, peaches, melons, etc., depend altogether on our planting; but the apple emulates mans independence and enterprise. It is not simply carried, as I have said, but, like him, to some extent, it has migrated to this New World, and is even, here and there, making its way amid the aboriginal trees; just as the ox and dog and horse sometimes run wild and maintain themselves. 3 Even the sourest and crabbedest apple, growing in the most unfavorable position, suggests such thoughts as these, it is so noble a fruit. Excerpt from "Wild Apples" by Henry David Thoreau. In the public domain. I Hear America Singing by Walt Whitman I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear, Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and strong, The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam, The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work, 5The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat, the deckhand singing on the steamboat deck, The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing as he stands, The wood-cutters song, the ploughboys on his way in the morning, or at noon intermission or at sundown, The delicious singing of the mother, or of the young wife at work, or of the girl sewing or washing, Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else, 10The day what belongs to the dayat night the party of young fellows, robust, friendly, Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs.
