A grocer wants to mix two kinds of candy. One kind sells for $1.15 per pound, and the other sells for
$2.75 per pound. He wants to mix a total of 24 pounds and sell it for $1.30 per pound. How many
pounds of each kind should he use in the new mix? (Round off the answers to the nearest hundredth.)

Answers

Answer 1

Hey there!

This grocer is mixing two kinds of coffee. I always love the smell of coffee!

We will say that x sells for $1.15 per pound and y sells for $2.75 per pound.

Altogether there are 24 pounds of coffee he is selling.

The algebraic equation would be x + y = 24

At $1.30 per pound, he will make 24 * $1.30 = $31.2

So, how many of the x and y kinds of coffee should he use to make the $1.30 per pound mixture which will net him $31.2?

The algebraic equation would be 1.15x + 2.75y = 31.2

We now have two equations :

x+y = 24

1.15x + 2.75y = 31.2

Substituting x= 24 -y in the second equation gives us

1.15(24-y) + 2.75y = 31.2

27.6 - 1.15y + 2.75y = 31.2

27.6 + 1.6y = 31.2

1.6y = 31.2 - 27.6

0.3y= 3.6

y= 2.25

x + y = 24

x + 2.25 = 24

x = 24 -2.25

x = 21.75

If y=2.25, then x= 21.75 as well.

So, he will use 21.75 pounds of the $1.15 per/lb one and another 2.25 pounds of the $2.75per/lb one.

~Done~

You roll two number cubes
Let event A = You roll an even number on the first cube.
Let event B = You roll a 2 on the second cube.
Are the events independent or dependent? Why?
O A. Dependent, because both cubes have six sides.
O B. Independent, because the outcome of the first roll doesn't affect
the outcome of the second roll.
O C. Independent, because they have no outcomes in common.
D. Dependent, because 2 is an even number.

Answers

Answer: B: Independent, because the outcome of the first roll doesn't affect the outcome of the second roll.

Step-by-step explanation:

Events are independent when the outcome of one does not effect the other. Rolling dice for example: If you roll an even number on your first cube, there is no way that it will effect the roll on the second cube, hence the two events are independent.

The equation representa Function A and the graph represents Function B

Answers

Answer:

D) Slope of Funcation B = - Slope of Function A

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the line is:

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

In this question, we are only interested in the slope.

For function A, we can see that the equation is f(x) = -2x + 1

Going back to the equation, we can see that -2 is the slope

Now for function B, we need to find the slope by looking at the graph.

To do this, you need to remember that the slope is y/x, or rise over run. (This is saying that every time the y happens, the x also happens. For example, if the slope is 1/2, every time the line goes up 1 unit, it goes to the right 2 units)

So for the function, we can see that when you move to the right 1 unit (run), you also move up 2 units (rise), so the slope would be

2

Comparing the slope of both the functions

Function A is -2

and

Function B is 2

So the answer is D

One of the legs of a right triangle measures 5 cm and the other leg measures 11 cm. Find the measure of the hypotenuse. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

c = 12.1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question, use the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Where a and b are the triangle's legs, and c is the hypotenuse.

(It doesn't matter what values you use for each for a and b)

a = 5 cm

b = 11 cm

c = ?

5^2 + 11^2 = c^2

25 + 121 = c^2

146 = c^2

square root both sides

√146 = √c^2

c = 12.08304 cm

But we need to the neasrest tenth then....

c = 12.1 cm

The measure of the unknown angle is 53 degrees.

The length of the unknown side of the blue triangle is 4.43 cm

Right angle triangle

Right angle triangle have one of its angles as 90 degrees.

The sum of angle in a triangle is 180 degrees.

Therefore, the measure of the unknown angle can be calculated as follows:

let

x = unknown angle

x = 180 - 90 - 37 = 53°

Therefore, let's find the unknow length of the blue triangle.

tan 53 = opposite / adjacent

tan 53 = 6.9 / a

a = 6.9 / 1.327

a = 5.1996985682

a = 5.2

The green triangle hypotenuse = 5.2 + (5.2 - 2.6) = 7.8 cm

Therefore,

sin 59 = opposite / 7.8

opposite = 7.8 × 0.8571673007

opposite = 6.68590494548

opposite side = 6.69 cm

The hypotenuse of the blue triangle = 6.69 - 2 = 4.69 cm

Therefore,

sin 71 = x / 4.69

x = 4.69 × 0.94551857559

x = 4.43448211956

x = 4.43 cm

The length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 3 m more than three times the length of the shorter leg. The length of the hypotenuse is 4 m more than three times the length of the shorter leg. Find the side lengths of the triangle. Length of the shorter leg: ​

Answers

Answer:

  7 m, 24 m, 25 m

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by writing an equation expressing the given relationships and the Pythagorean theorem. Or, it can be solved by reference to common Pythagorean triples. Here, we're interested in a triple that has a difference of 1 between the hypotenuse and the longer leg. Such triples include:

  {3, 4, 5}, {5, 12, 13}, {7, 24, 25}, {9, 40, 41}, {11, 60, 61}, ...

We note that for the triple {7, 24, 25}, the longer leg is 3 more than 3 times the shorter leg: 3 +3(7) = 24.

The side lengths are:

shorter leg: 7 mlonger leg: 24 mhypotenuse: 25 m

__

In case you're unfamiliar with Pythagorean triples, or you want to write the equation, you can let s represent the length of the shorter side. Then the longer side is (3s+3) and the hypotenuse is (3s+4). The Pythagorean theorem tells you the relation is ...

  (3s +4)² = (3s +3)² +s²

  9s² +24s +16 = 9s² +18s +9 +s²

  s² -6s -7 = 0 . . . . . subtract the left side and put in standard form

  (s -7)(s +1) = 0 . . . . factor

  s = 7  or  -1 . . . . . . solutions to the equation

The side length must be positive, so the shorter leg is 7 meters long. Then the other two legs are ...

  3s +3 = 3(7) +3 = 24 . . . . meters

  3s +4 = 3(7) +4 = 25 . . . . meters

The side lengths are 7 m, 24 m, and 25 m.

from the 280 tea drinkers 20% drink at lay e cups of tea each day. that is

because 20 out of 100 is the meaning of 20%.
