Let x = number of gallons of 3% milk

Thus;

336 - x = number of gallons of 7% milk

Therefore;

0.03x + 0.07(336 - x) = 0.06(336)

0.03x + 23.52 - 0.07x = 20.16

what is the price of what umbrella ?

Answers

If the total cost of two umbrellas and one cap is is $20 the total cost for one umbrella and two caps is $16 then the price of one umbrella is $8 and price of one cap is $4.

Given that the total cost of two umbrellas and one cap is is $20 the total cost for one umbrella and two caps is $16.

We have to find the price of one umbrella and one cap.

We have to form equations first to find the price of umbrella and cap.

Equation of two variables look like ax+by=c. It can be a linear equation, quadratic equation or a cubic equation.

let the price of umbrella be x and price of cap is y.

We know that total cost is equal to price of one unit multiplied by the units.

According to question.

2x+y=20----------1

x+2y=16-----------2

Multiply equation 2 by 2 and then subtract resulted equation from equation 1.

2x+y-2x-4y=20-32

-3y=-12

y=-12/-3

y=4

put the value of y in equation 2 to get the value of x.

x+2y=16

x+2*4=16

x+8=16

x=16-8

x=8

Hence the price of one umbrella is $8 and the price of one cap is $4.

A customer's stock value seems to be rising exponentially. The equation for
the linearized regression line that models this situation is log(y) = 0.30x +0.296,
where × represents number of weeks. Which of the following is the best
approximation of the number of weeks that will pass before the value of the
stock reaches $600?

Answers

Answer:

B: 8.3

Step-by-step explanation:

We will substitute 600 to the y, since our final answer will be a number that makes the value of the stock reach $600.

log (y) = 0.30x + 0.296

Replacing y with 600, the equation becomes:

log (600) = 0.30x + 0.296

2.78 = 0.30x + 0.296

To move all the x and real numbers to different sides, we take 0.296 away from both sides to form:

2.78 - 0.296 = 0.30x

2.484 = 0.30x

x = 8.28

The approximation of 8.28 will be rounded to 8.3.

Then our final answer will be B: 8.3

A bag contains 2 yellow balls, 3 green balls, 5 red balls and 6 black balls.
What is the probability of either a yellow ball or a red ball being drawn if
only one ball is drawn?

Answers

Answer:

7/16

Step-by-step explanation:

(2+5)/(2+3+5+6) = 7/16

The probability of either a yellow or a red ball being drawn if only one is drawn is 7/16.

What is probability?

The probability is the measure of the likelihood of an event to happen. It measures the certainty of the event. The formula for probability is given by; P(E) = Number of Favourable Outcomes/Number of total outcomes.

According to the given question.

Numnber of yellow balls = 2

Number of green balls = 3

Number of red balls = 5

Number of black balls = 6

So,

The total number of balls in a bag = 2+ 3+ 5 + 6 = 16

And,

The sum of yellow and red ball = 2 + 5 = 7

Therefore,

The probability of either a yellow or a red ball being drawn if only one ball is drawn

= [tex]\frac{total\ number\ of \ red \ and \ yellow\ balls }{Total\ number\ of \ balls}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{7}{16}[/tex]

The dimensions and volume of the largest box formed by the 18 in. by 35 in. cardboard are;

Width ≈ 8.89 in., length ≈ 24.89 in., height ≈ 4.55 in.

Maximum volume of the box is approximately 1048.6 in.³

How can the dimensions and volume of the box be calculated?

The given dimensions of the cardboard are;

Width = 18 inches

Length = 35 inches

Let x represent the side lengths of the cut squares, we have;

Width of the box formed = 18 - 2•x

Length of the box = 35 - 2•x

Height of the box = x

Volume, V, of the box is therefore;

V = (18 - 2•x) × (35 - 2•x) × x = 4•x³ - 106•x² + 630•x

By differentiation, at the extreme locations, we have;

[tex] \frac{d V }{dx} = \frac{d( 4 \cdot \: {x}^{3} - 106 \cdot \: {x}^{2} + 630\cdot \: {x} ) }{dx} = 0[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex] \frac{d V }{dx} =12\cdot \: {x}^{2} - 212\cdot \: {x} + 630 = 0[/tex]

6•x² - 106•x + 315 = 0

[tex]x = \frac{ - 6 \pm \sqrt{106 ^2 - 4 \times 6 \times 315} }{2 \times 6} [/tex]

Therefore;

x ≈ 4.55, or x ≈ -5.55

When x ≈ 4.55, we have;

V = 4•x³ - 106•x² + 630•x

Which gives;

V ≈ 1048.6

When x ≈ -5.55, we have;

V ≈ -7450.8

The dimensions of the box that gives the maximum volume are therefore;

Width ≈ 18 - 2×4.55 in. = 8.89 in.

Length of the box ≈ 35 - 2×4.55 in. = 24.89 in.

Height = x ≈ 4.55 in.

The maximum volume of the box, V ≈ 1048.6 in.³

pieces?

Answers

The number of cuts from a 20% length is 2 and the number of 20' angle are needed in order to have the 100 pieces is 5

How to determine the number

From the information given;

The bricklayer needs = 100 pieces of angle

The number of cuts = 54

Length of cuts = 3/ 16'' Inches

a. To determine the number of cuts form a 20% length, we have to multiply the length by the percentage and by the initial number of cuts

= 20/ 100 × 3/ 16 × 54

= 0. 2 × 0. 1875 × 54

= 2. 0

The number of cuts would be 2

b. To determine the number of pieces of 20' angle to have 100 pieces we would divide the initial number of pieces by the angle

= 100/ 20

= 5 pieces

The number of pieces of 20' angle is 5

The width. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

Width = 5.5ft, Length = 8ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Rectangle = Length x Width

Let w be the Width of the rectangle.

From the information given from the question,

Length = 2w - 3 (3ft less than twice the width)

Area of Rectangle = [tex](2w-3)w\\=2w^{2} -3w[/tex] = 44

Now we can solve for w to find the dimensions.

[tex]2w^{2} -3w-44=0[/tex] (Quadratic Equations)

We can use the Quadratic formula to find w.

[tex]w=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}[/tex]

Since a = 2, b = -3 and c = -44,

[tex]w=\frac{-(-3)+/-\sqrt{(-3)^{2}-4(2)(-44) } }{2(2)} \\= 5.5 or -4 (reject)[/tex]

We reject negative values here.

Therefore, the width of the Rectangle = 5.5ft

While the length of the rectangle = 2(5.5) - 3 = 11 - 3 = 8ft

Algebric equation is a mathematical statement in which two equation set equal to each other.

Let the number of postcards belonging to Xiulin and Meifang be x.

Let the number of postcard Meifang gave to Xuilin be 'a'

Number of postcard left with meifang

=> x-a = 72

A side of a regular polygon is 10cm. If each interior angle is 156. Calculate its perimeter.​

Answers

Answer:

  150 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The total of exterior angles is 360°. We can use this fact to find the number of sides. The perimeter is the total length of all of the congruent sides.

Exterior angles

The measure of an exterior angle of the regular polygon is the supplement of the adjacent interior angle:

  exterior angle = 180° -156° = 24°

The total of n of these angles is 360°, so n is ...

  24°×n = 360°

  n = 360°/24° = 15

The polygon has 15 exterior angles, hence 15 sides

Perimeter

The perimeter is the total length of the 15 congruent sides:

  P = 15×(10 cm) = 150 cm

The perimeter of the regular polygon is 150 cm.

Answers

Answer:I beleive the answer is c-3600

Step-by-step explanation:

90$ a month for 48 months=4320

Plus the interest rate of 8.33  so 4320x0.833=3598.56

Then you have to round up from 3598.56 to the nearest 100 dollars, so it would be 3600.

Snake StoryBecky moved off of the porch slowly, backing through the door and into the house. She slammed the sliding glass door shut and stood for a moment, relieved to have something solid between her and the snake on the porch.The glass was cool under her hands despite her pounding heart. She tried to slow her breathing. She was safe, at last, inside. Or was she? How had that snake gotten into the screened-in and walled-up back porch. If it could get in there, it's possible it could get inside where she was as well.Becky wasn't someone who was normally skittish about wild things. She'd handled snakes before, picked up lizards many times, caught frogs in the garage and let them go. But snakes seemed to always catch her off guard. They would turn up when least expected. She would see them out of the corner of her eye and just the surprise of it would make her jump; her adrenalin would pump, her heart would thump, and her panic would take over.What was she going to do? She couldn't just stand there waiting for the snake to decide to leave. What if it were venomous? It didn't look like a viper, but it could be. She would need to get out there soon to water the plants."What this requires is some advanced planning," she said out loud to her cat, Louie. "And, I will probably have to go 'once more into the fray' kitty," she said, looking in the cat's direction for emphasis."First things first, though," she said. The cat meowed back. It often did that, having become used to being talked to. "Let's look that fellow up," Becky said walking to her bookshelf."Let's see, snakes," she said, thumbing through her reptile and amphibian identification book. "It's brown and gray, with some black. With a pattern that looks ... there it is," she said thumping the page so hard that Louie jumped. "Not venomous," she said, triumphantly."It's an oak snake, Louie," she returned the book and strode over to her closet. "Not venomous, but I am still not taking chances," she said.She reached into the closet and pulled out her heaviest jacket. It was lined and stuffed thick with lots of padding. Then she found her mittens and a pair of rubber boots. She knew even non-venomous snakes would sometimes threaten to strike when scared. "And that threat would work on me," Becky said aloud again, though Louie had no idea what she was talking about."It's 90 degrees outside, Louie," she said, "so get the iced lemonade ready for when I return."It wasn't much of a plan, but it was the best she could come up with. With her armor on, she was already sweating when she slowly pushed open the sliding glass door and stepped back on to the porch.She was pretty sure the snake would slither away from her presence. She propped open the outside door, and hoped she could shoo the snake in that direction.Sweat dampened her arms and collected on her face. She spread her arms out, and took a few steps toward the snake. There was so much for it to hide beneath. Becky regretted the rocking chairs and all the plant stands between where the snake was in the corner and the door to the outside.At first it seemed like the snake was just going to remain where it was, flicking its tongue every now and then. Becky waved her arms, lunged in its direction, and stomped her feet. It sat there, coiled in the corner, as if perfectly happy to remain there. In a fit of desperation, she picked up one side of the rocking chair the snake was under and let it drop. The snake jumped, raised its head like it was going to strike, and then stayed right where it was."Snake," Becky said, "This is not how it works. You have got to go." The snake moved its head back and forth, swaying a bit, and that gave Becky an idea.She had read somewhere that snakes can "hear" thanks to the ability to process vibrations through the bone in their jaw. This awareness of vibrations in the ground was one reason it was very hard to sneak up on snakes. She quickly realized that getting the snake out was going to be a lot easier than she had thought.Becky turned on the radio she kept on the porch and lowered it to the ground, pointing in the snake's direction. She adjusted the controls so that the bass was as high as it could go. Then, she cranked up the volume. She envisioned the snake swaying to the sounds of "Dancing Queen," by Abba, and then leaving the porch and going far, far away.Coming back into the house, she began peeling off the now damp armaments she had put on earlier. "Louie, there is more than one way to skin a snake," she said laughing. She watched as the snake uncoiled and moved cautiously in the direction of the door. Bending down to pick up Louie, Becky sighed and stroked his head. "'Cause no one ever wants to skin a cat, sweetie."Review the narrative "Snake Story" and answer the question below:How does Louie the cat help develop the character of Becky?
