Your mother has left you in charge of the annual family yard sale. Before she leaves you to your entrepreneurial abilities, she explains that she has made the job easy for you: everything costs either $1.50 or $3.50. She asks you to keep track of how many of each type of item is sold, and you make a list, but it gets lost sometime throughout the day. Just before she’s supposed to get home, you realize that all you know is that there were 150 items to start with (your mom counted) and you have 41 items left. Also, you know that you made $227.50. Write a system of equations that you could solve to figure out how many of each type of item you sold.

A) x + y = 109
(1.5)x + 227.50 = (3.5)y
B) x + y = 109
(3.5)x + 227.50 = (1.5)y
C) x + y = 41
(1.5)x + 227.50 = (3.5)y
D) x + y = 109
(1.5)x + (3.5)y = 227.50
E) x + y = 150
(1.5)x + (3.5)y = 227.50
F) x + y = $3.50
(1.5)x + (3.5)y = 227.50

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]D)\ x + y = 109\\(1.5)x + (3.5)y = 227.50[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the items sold with price $1.5 = [tex]x[/tex]

Let the items sold with price $3.5 = [tex]y[/tex]

Initially, total number of items = 150

Items left at the end of the day = 41

So, number of items sold throughout the day = Total number of items - Number of items left

Number of Items sold = 150 - 41 = 109

So, the first equation can be written as:

[tex]\bold{x+y = 109} ....... (1)[/tex]

Now, let us calculate the sales done by each item.

Sales from item with price $1.5 = Number of items sold [tex]\times[/tex] price of each item

= (1.5)[tex]x[/tex]

Sales from item with price $3.5 = Number of items sold [tex]\times[/tex] price of each item

= (3.5)[tex]y[/tex]

Total sales = [tex]\bold{(1.5)x+(3.5)y = 227.50} ....... (2)[/tex]

So, the correct answer is:

[tex]D)\ x + y = 109\\(1.5)x + (3.5)y = 227.50[/tex]

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

36 * 2 <-- rad3 cancels out

72 candies will fill the box.

B. The line of best fits shows a negative correlation between the number of months and the number of minutes

C. The line of best fits shows no correlation between the month number and the number of minutes

Answers

Answer:

B. The line of best fits shows a negative correlation between the number of months and the number of minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

In a scatter plot, when the data points are clustered along the line of best fit, it shows a trend, and it implies there's a correlation between the x-variable and the y-varisble.

Also, when the line of best fit slopes upward, from your left to your far right, it shows a positive correlation between the variables on the x-axis and y-axis.

On the other hand, if the line of best fit slopes downwards, from your left down to your right, this shows a negative correlation.

Thus, considering the line of best fit in the question, the line of best fit shows a negative correlation between the number of months and the number of minutes. The line of best fit slopes downwards, from your left to your right.

This shows that, as month number increases, number of minutes decreases.

Answer:

48°

Step-by-step explanation:

arc BC = 136(2) -145 = 127

arc DC = 83(2) - 127 = 39

arc AD = 360 - 145- 127 - 39 = 48

Answer:

49 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Measure of arc ABC = 116*2 = 232 degrees.

Measure of arc BC = 232-145 = 87 degrees.

Measure of arc BCD = 83*2 = 166 degrees.

Measure of arc DC = 166-87 = 79 degrees.

Measure of arc AD = 360 - (145+87+79) = 360 - 311 = 49 degrees

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.

The following shape is based only on squares, semicircles, and quarter circles. Find the area of the shaded part.

Answers

Answer:

The area of the shaded part is 36.53 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimension of the side of the square ABCD = 8 cm

The shaded part is seen to be the area of intersection of two quarter circles

The dimension of the radius of the quarter circles = The side length of the square

Therefore;

The dimension of the radius of the quarter circles = 8 cm

The figure can be taken as being formed by the two quarter circles with a square removed

The shaded area is the

Therefore, the area of the shaded part Sₐ, is given by the relation;

Sₐ = Area of first quarter circle + Area of second quarter circle - Area of the square

Given that the dimensions (radius) of the two quarter circles are the same, we have;

Area of first quarter circle = Area of second quarter circle = (π × 8²)/4 cm²

Area of the square = (Side length of the square)² = 8² = 64 cm²

Sₐ =  (π × 8^2)/4 + (π × 8^2)/4 - 64 = 36.53 cm²

The area of the shaded part = 36.53 cm².

The answer is

44 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure above is a rectangle

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

A 3 L bottle of oil costs $36 and contains 12 cups. Dinesh puts 1 cup of oil, 10 garlic gloves and 1 cup of
lemon juice in each batch of hummus recipe that he makes. Dinesh makes 5 batches of hummus.
What is the total cost of oil that he uses in the 5 batches of his recipe?

Answers

The correct answer is $15

Explanation:

The first step is to determine the total of oil that was used for the 5 batches. To find this, you just need to multiply the amount of oil used for one batch by the total batches.

1 cup of oil per batch x 5 batches = 5 cups of oil

This means, in the 5 batches the oil Dinesh used was 5 cups of oil. Additionally, you know the total of cups in the bottle of oil is 12 cups, and these 12 cups or total costs $36. Now to find what is the cost of the 5 cups use the rule of three and cross multiplication.

12 cups of oil = $36   1. Write the values

5 cups of oil  = x      

12 x = 180           2.  Cross multiply this means 36x 5 and 12 multipy by x

x = 180 ÷ 12        3. Solve the equation

x=  15 - Cost for 5 cups used in the batches

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.

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:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for horizontal distance "h" in feet of a projectile with initial velocity v₀ and initial angle theta is given by :

[tex]h=\dfrac{v_o^2}{16}\sin\theta\cos\theta[/tex]

We know that, [tex]2\sin\theta\cos\theta=\sin2\theta[/tex]

So,

[tex]h=\dfrac{v_o^2}{32}\sin2\theta[/tex]

Now we need to find the maximum horizontal distance possible and at what angle does this occur.

For maximum distance angle should be 45 degrees. Som,

[tex]h=\dfrac{60^2}{32}\sin2(45)\\\\h=112.5\ \text{feet}[/tex]
