Aliyah, Brenda and Candy share a sum of money in the ratio of 3:5:6. After
Candy gives $100 to Aliyah and $50 to Brenda, the ratio becomes 2 : 3:3.
(a) Suppose Aliyah has $3x at the start, express Candy's initial sum of money in
terms of x.
(b) Find the value of x.
(c) Hence, how much money does Brenda have in the end?

Answers

Answer:

(a) Candy's initial sum as a terms of x is $6x

(b) x = $60

(c) $350

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The ratio in which Aliyah, Brenda and Candy share the sum of money = 3:5:6

The amount Candy later gives Aliyah = $100

The amount Candy later gives Brenda = $50

The new ratio of the sum of the shared money between Aliyah, Brenda and Candy = 2:3:3

(a) Whereby Aliyah has $3x at the start, we have;

Total sum of mony = Y

Amount of Aliyah's initial share = Y × 3/(3 + 5 + 6) = Y×3/14

Therefore, Y×3/14 = $3x

x = Y×3/14 ÷ 3 = Y/14

Amount of Candy's initial share = Y × 6/14

Therefore Candy's initial sum as a terms of x = $6x

(b) Given that Aliyah's and Candy's initial sum as a function of x are   $3x and $6x, therefore, in the ratio 3:5:6, Brenda's  initial sum as a function of x = $5x

Which gives;

Total amount of money = $14x

With

6x - 150, 3x + 100, and 5x + 50, the ratio =is 2:3:3

Therefore, we have;

14·x × 2/(2 + 3 + 3) = (6·x - 150)

14·x × 2/(8) = (6·x - 150)

14·x × 1/4 = (6·x - 150)

7·x/2 = (6·x - 150)

12·x - 300 = 7·x

12·x - 7·x = 300

5·x = 300

x = $60

(b) The final amount of money with Brenda = 5x + 50 = 5 × 60 + 50 = $350

The final amount of money with Brenda = $350.

A chocolate company has a new candy bar in the shape of a prism whose base is a 1-inch equilateral triangle and whose sides are rectangles that measure 1 inch by 2 inches. These prisms will be packed in a box that has a regular hexagonal base with 2-inch edges, and rectangular sides that are 6 inches tall. How many candy bars fit in such a box

Answers

BASE AREA OF THE BOX:

Regular hexagon with 2 inch edges contains 180*(6-2) = 180*4 = 720 degrees
That's 120 degrees in each of the corner pockets.
Drawing line segments from the center to each vertex creates 6 congruent isosceles triangles.
Selecting any one of these six triangles and dropping the height from the center to the edge
creates a 30-60-90 right triangle with height equal to the square root of 3 (rad3) and base measure 1.
So the area of each of these triangles is the square root of 3 , or in slang terms "rad 3", which means
the base area is 6*rad3.

The volume of the box is therefore 36*rad3

BASE AREA OF THE CANDY:

Dropping the height from one vertex to the opposite side of this equilateral triangle
creates 2 right triangles with base measure 1/2 and hypotneuse 1. So the height
must be rad3/2. The area of the entire equilateral triangle is rad3/4, which is the base area.

The volume of the candy is rad3/2


36*rad3 divided by rad3/2 =

36 rad3 times 2/rad3 <--- KFC : keep , change, flip

what is the sum of the interior angles of a regular hexagon ​

Answers

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of any polygon can be found with the formula 180(n - 2) where n = number of sides. In this case, n = 6 so the answer is 180(6 - 2) = 180 * 4 = 720°.

Answer:

The sum of the interior angles of a regular hexagon is 720°

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the sum of interior angle is 180(n-2). So the number of sides of hexagon is 6. Now, 180(6-2)=180*4=720°

The amount of juice in a container is

normally distributed with a mean of

70 ounces and a standard deviation of

0.5 ounce. What is the probability that a

randomly selected container has more

than 70.5 ounces of juice?

Answers

Answer:

0.15866

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the above question, we use z score formula

z = (x - μ) / σ, where

x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

From the question,

x is the raw score = 70.5

μ is the population mean = 70

σ is the population standard deviation = 0.5

z = 70.5 - 70/ 0.5

z= 0.5/0.5

z = 1

We used the z score table to find the probability of z = 1

P( x = z) = P(x = 70.5)

= P( z = 1) = 0.84134

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected container has more than 70.5 ounces of juice is calculated as

P(x>70.5) = 1 - P(x =70.5)

P(x>70.5) = 1 - 0.84134 = 0.15866

Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected container has more than 70.5 ounces of juice is 0.15866.

PLEASE help me with this question!!! REALLY URGENT!

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have a table of values of a used car over time. At year 0, the car is worth $20,000. By the end of year 8, the car is only worth $3400.

We can see that this is exponential decay since each subsequent year the car depreciates by a different value.

To find the rate of change the car depreciates, we simply need to find the value of the exponential decay. To do this (and for the most accurate results) we can use the last term (8, 3400).

First, we already determined that the original value (year 0 value) of the car is 20,000. Therefore, we can say:

[tex]f(t)=20000(r)^t[/tex]

Where t is the time in years and r is the rate (what we're trying to figure out).

Now, to solve for r, use to point (8, 3400). Plug in 8 for t and 3400 for f(t):

[tex]3400=20000(r)^8\\3400/20000=17/100=r^8\\r=\sqrt[8]{17/100}\approx0.8[/tex]

In other words, the rate of change modeled by the function is 0.8.

As expected, this is exponential decay. The 0.8 tells us that the car depreciates by 20% per year.

A delivery truck company just bought a new delivery truck and they need to know the maximum volume it can carry. In the front of the truck, there is an extra ledge that sticks out over the driver's cab for extra storage space. What is the maximum amount of cargo that can fit into the new truck?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the maximum amount of cargo the truck can carry, we need to find the volume of the truck.

Volume = length × width × height.

Firstly 1 feet (1') = 12 inches (12"),

For the extra ledge that sticks out, the height = 7'8" = 7.667 feet, the width = 16'9" - 14'3" = 16.75 - 14.25 = 2.5 feet, the length = 2'7" = 2.583 feet

Volume of extra ledge = length × width × height = 2.583 × 2.5 × 7.667 = 49.5 feet³

For the truck, the height = 7'8" = 7.667 feet, the length = 14'3" = 14.25 feet, the width = 6'6" = 6.5 feet

Volume of truck = length × width × height = 14.25 × 6.5 × 7.667 = 710.16 feet³

The maximum volume = volume of extra ledge + volume of truck = 49.5 + 710.16 = 759.66 feet³

A fish jumps out of the water at a speed of 12 feet per second. The height y (in feet) of the fish above the surface of the water is represented by the equation y=-16x^2+12x, where x is the time (in seconds) since the jump began. The fish reaches its highest point above the surface of the water after 0.375 seconds. How far above the surface is the fish at this time?

Answers

Answer:

The fish is 2.25 ft above the surface at 0.375 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

y=-16x^2+12x

x=0.375 seconds

Substitute x=0.375 into the equation

y=-16x^2+12x

= -16(0.375)^2 +12(0.375

= -16(0.140625) + 4.5

= -2.25 + 4.5

= 2.25

y=2.25 ft

The fish is 2.25 ft above the surface at 0.375 seconds

Find the total weight of fruits B.) if her family eats 3/4 kg of apples and 2. 1/2 kg of mangoes and 1/2 kg of oranges. Find the weight of fruits left (Please say the answer with explanation who says the answer first I will mark them as the brainliest)

Answers

Answer:

A. Total weight of the fruits is 2.25 kg

B. There are no more fruits left.

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

To get the total weight of the fruits, we will first of all have to sort out the fruits and multiply the weight of the fruits by the number available.

Weight of apples:

we have one 1apple weighing 1/2 kg. The weight will be 1 |X 1/2 = 1/2 kg

Weight of mangoes:

We have five mangoes weighing 1/4 kg. Total weight will be 5 X 1/4 = 5/4 kg

Weight of oranges:

We have one orange weighing 1/2 kg. Total weight will be 1X 1/2 = 1/2 kg

Total weight of the fruits will be total weight of Mangoes + oranges + apples

= 1/2 + 5/4 + 1/2 = 2.25kg

B.

If her family begins to eat off some portions of the fruits, we will have to calculate the sum total of all the weights of fruits eaten

The portion eaten will be 3/4 + (2 X 1/2) + 1/2 = 2.25kg

If this happens the family would have eaten all of the fruits because

the original weight present is only 2.25kg of fruits to start with

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) is the same value as y. Therefore, y = 17. We can place this into slope intercept form (except with a defined value for y) and solve for x.

Start by subtracting 7 from both sides. Then, divide by -12 to solve for x. Finally, simplify the fraction.

17 = -12x + 7

10 = -12x

-10/12 = x

-5/6 = x

The slope of the perpendicular line is -1

We have a slope and a point

y = mx+b

y= -1x+b

To find the perimeter of a rectangle we use the formula

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

where

l is the length of the rectangle

w is the width of the rectangle

From the question

length = 14 ft

width = 8ft

Substituting the values into the above formula we have

Perimeter = 2(14) + 2(8)

= 28 + 16

We have the final answer as

Perimeter = 44 ft

Hope this helps you

Since perimeter is adding all the sides together it would be (8×2 = 16) and (14×2 = 28 ) so 28+16=44 ^^ I agree with the answer above :)

Un cultivo de bacterias crece y se duplica cada dos horas .¿Cu`antas veces mas grande sera el numero de bacterias en 12 horas?El numero inicial es X. Expresa usando potencias ayuda profis es para hoy ; )

Answers

Responder:

64 visitas

Explicación paso a paso:

Dado lo siguiente:

Número inicial de bacterias = x

Tasa de crecimiento = se duplica cada dos horas

¿Cuántas veces mayor será la cantidad de bacterias en 12 horas?

La cantidad de veces (n) en las que la cantidad de bacterias se duplica:

n = 12 horas / período de tasa de crecimiento

n = 12/2 = 6

Eso significa que el crecimiento de bacterias se duplicará 6 veces en 12 horas.

Por lo tanto, la cantidad de bacterias después de 12 horas será:

Después del 1er período = x * 2 = 2x

2do período = 2 ^ 2 * x = 4x

Después de n período

= 2 ^ n * x

Después de 6 períodos:

2 ^ 6 * x = 64x

Número de veces que las bacterias serán mayores en 12 horas:

Inicial = final

x = 64x

Comparando ambos

Las bacterias serán 64 veces más grandes después de 12 horas.
