The Sums Of Which Two Pairs From The Table Will Give You The Same Result? For Example, A + B = C + D.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D + E = F + H

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to identify the two pairs from the give table which have the same result.

These pairs show the relation as A + B = C + D

We take a pair of expressions given in options (D) and (E)

By adding them,

D + E = (-4 + 9i) + (6 - 6i)

         = 2 + 3i

Similarly we add the expressions given in options (F) and (H),

F + H = (-9 + 15i) + (11 - 12i)

         = 2 + 3i

Therefore, D + E = F + H will be the answer.

A small toy car costs $3. A large toy car costs 5 times as much as the small one. Aaron wants to buy one of each. Which equation can he use to find the cost (a) of the two cars?

Answers

Answer: He can use 3 x 5 = 15 and 15 + 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a small car is $3, and the large car is 5x the price of the small car, he can use the equation 3 x 5 = 15, because the small car is $3, and the large car is 5x the price. You can use 15 + 3 = 18, because the small car is $3, so you also have to add that.

Here to help!

The equation is x + 5x = 18 , where x is the cost of small toy car and the total cost of the two cars = $ 18

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the total cost of the two cars be A

Now , the equation will be

Let the cost of the small toy car be = x

The cost of small toy car = $ 3

The cost of the large car = 5 x cost of small toy car

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

The cost of the large car = 5 x 3

The cost of the large car = $ 15

So , the cost of two cars = x + 5x

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

The total cost of the two cars A = 15 + 3

The total cost of the two cars A = $ 18

Therefore , the value of A is $ 18

Hence , the equation is A = x + 5x

the work in an office takes 180 hours to complete every work
each person in the office works for 35 hours a week
what is the smallest number of people needed to complete the work?​

Answers

Answer:

Minimum People required = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total hours required to complete the work every week = 150 hrs.

Number of hours worked per week by one person = 32 hr

∴ Number of people required to complete the work per week = Total number of hrs to complete the work ÷ No of hrs work per person

∴ Number of people = 150 ÷ 32

∴ Number of people = 4.6875

This is the minimum number of people. But no of people cannot be a fraction.

Thus, rounding the number to next integer.

∴ Smallest number of people needed to complete the work = 5

A line passes through point (4,-3) and has a slope of 5/4. Write an equation in Ax + By = C

Answers

Answer:

The answer is

5x - 4y = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation of a line using a point and slope use the formula

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where

m is the slope

(x1 , y1) is the point

So we have

Equation of the line using point (4 , -3) and slope 5/4 is

[tex]y + 3 = \frac{5}{4} (x - 4)[/tex]

Multiply through by 4

4y + 12 = 5(x - 4)

4y + 12 = 5x - 20

5x - 4y = 20 + 12

The final answer is

5x - 4y = 32

Each serving of a pancake recipe calls for 1/4 cup of flour. How many servings can be made with 2 cups of flour?

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is 8 servings of pancakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

If each serving of pancakes calls for 1/4 cup of flour, to find how many servings can be made with 2 cups of flour, we should divide 2 cups by 1/4 cup.

To do this, we can first convert 1/4 to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator.  

1/4 = 0.25

Next, we can go ahead with the division.

2 / 0.25 = 8

Therefore, 8 servings of pancakes can be made with 2 cups of flour.

Answers

Answer:

The regular bottle holds 9 fl oz less

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Family Size =  12 fl oz

Required

Determine the size held less by the regular bottle

From the question, we have that the regular bottle holds 75% less;

[tex]Regular\ Size = 75\% * Family\ Size[/tex]

Substitute 12 fl oz for Family Size

[tex]Regular\ Size =75\% * 12\ fl\ oz[/tex]

Convert percentage to fraction

[tex]Regular\ Size = \frac{75}{100} * 12\ fl \oz[/tex]

[tex]Regular\ Size = \frac{75 * 12\ fl\ oz}{100}[/tex]

[tex]Regular\ Size = \frac{900\ fl\ oz}{100}[/tex]

[tex]Regular\ Size = 9\ fl\ oz[/tex]

[tex]15\sqrt{2}[/tex]    or   ≈ 21.2132

Answer:

[tex]15\sqrt{2}[/tex] or 21.213

Step-by-step explanation:

For radical form: think of multiples of 450. Think of a pair that contains one perfect square, particularly the higher, the better . These 2 numbers are 25 and 18. 25 is the perfect square number since the two numbers that multiply to be 25 is 5 and 5.

Now take the perfect square of 25 and put it outside of the radical. The 18 remains inside: [tex]5\sqrt{18}[/tex]

Now, since 18 is a high number that needs to get reduced, do the same for 18 as we did for 450--find two numbers, one of which is a perfect square. These two numbers are 9 and 2.

Now take the perfect square of 9. This is 3. Take it out of the radical so that only the two remains inside. The 3 will now multiply with the 5: [tex]5*3\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Multiply 5 and 3 to get 15. The 15 stays outside the radical. Your answer is:

Complete question:

One researcher wishes to estimate the mean number of hours that high school students spend watching TV on a weekday. A margin of error of 0.28 hours is desired. Past studies suggest that a population standard deviation of 1.5 hours is reasonable. Estimate the minimum sample size required to estimate the population mean with the stated accuracy.

Answer:

111 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Margin of Error (E) = 0.28

Population standard deviation (sd) = 1.5

Recall:

Margin of Error(E) = Z * (sd/√n)

Taking a confidence interval of 95%

The Z value at a 95% confidence interval is 1.96

Plugging our values, we have :

Margin of Error(E) = Z * (sd/√n)

0.28 = 1.96 * (1.5/√n)

0.28 = 2.94 / √n

√n × 0.28 = 2.94

√n = 2.94 / 0.28

√n = 10.5

Square both sides to obtain n

n = 10.5^2

n = 110.25

Answers

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio, 2 + 1 = 3 parts , thus

81 cm² ÷ 3 = 27 cm² ← value of 1 part of the ratio

2 parts = 2 × 27 = 54 cm²

Area of A = 54 cm² and area of B = 27 cm²

The side of the original square = [tex]\sqrt{81}[/tex] = 9 cm

The width of both rectangles is 9 cm ( width remains unchanged after cut )

Thus

Rectangle A

9 × length = 54 ( divide both sides by 9 )

length = 6 cm

Rectangle B

9 × length = 27 ( divide both sides by 9 )

length = 3 cm

Rectangle A → length = 6 cm, width = 9 cm

Rectangle B → length = 3 cm , width = 9 cm

Answer:

Rectangle A                 Rectangle B

length = 9 cm                length = 9 cm

width = 6 cm                  width = 3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of square At = 81 cm²

Square is cut into two pieces = A + B

The ration of area A to B = 2:1

Find

Rect A        Rect B

length         length

width           width

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

first, get the side of the square = A = s²

81 = s²,      

s = √81      

s = 9 cm

since the ratio is 2:1, therefore the side can be divided into 3

9 ÷ 3 = 3 cm ----- take note of this to get the Width

Rectangle A

L = 9 cm (which is the s = 9 cm)

W = 3 cm (2 ratio) = 6 cm

Rectangle B

L = 9 cm  (which is the s = 9 cm)

W = 3 cm (1 ratio) = 3 cm

Proof:

At = A + B

81 = (9x6) + (9x3)

81 = 54 + 27

81 = 81  ----- OK

A radioactive substance decays exponentially. A scientist begins with 350 milligrams of a radioactive substance. After 14 hours, 175 mg of the substance remains. How many milligrams will remain after 20 hours

Answers

Answer:

N(t)=N∗.5t/h where n(t) is amount of substance left, N = initial amount, t = current time, and h = half-life time.h = 24 hours t= 45 hours, N = 130mg

therefore, N(t)=130∗.545/24=35.44mg

Step-by-step explanation:

N(t)=N∗.5t/h where n(t) is amount of substance left, N = initial amount, t = current time, and h = half-life time.h = 24 hours t= 45 hours, N = 130mg

therefore, N(t)=130∗.545/24=35.44mg

Answer:

≈ 130 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

This is about the half-life of the substance.

There is a formula for this kind of calculations:

N(t)= N₀*(0.5)^(t/T), where

N(t) = substance left after time period of t,t = time passed,N₀ = initial amount of the substance,T = hal-life time of the given substance.

In our case, we have:

N₀ = 350 mg,t= 20 hours,T = 14 hours  as half of substance decays during this time period,

And the calculation:

N(20)= 350*(0.5)^(20/14)N(20) ≈ 130 mg

Answer: about 130 mg of substance remains after 20 hours

The height of the cylinder is 16 centimeters, and the total height of the figure is 28 centimeters. The slant height of the cone is 13 centimeters. Which choice is the best approximation of the surface area of the figure? Use 3.14 to approximate pi.

Answers

Answer:

2,041 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

surface area = (2 × π × r × h) + ((π × r) × (r+ (√(c² + r²))))+(π × r²)

where,

cylinder  base radius (r) = 10  cm

height of cylinder (h) = 16 cm

total height = 28 cm

cone height (c) = total height - height of cylinder = 28 - 16 = 12cm

π = 3.14

surface area = (2 × 3.14 × 10 × 16) + ((3.14 × 10) × (10+ (√(12² + 10²))))+(3.14 × 10²)

surface area = 1004.8 + (31.4 * 25.6) + 314

surface area = 2122.64 cm²

therefore the approximate surface area given is 2,041 square centimeters
