Colin gets pic 'n mix when at the cinema and makes his bag up with 3 types of sweet. He picks 3 times as many cola bottles as smarties. He also picks twice as many smarties as marshmallows. What proportion of the bag of sweets are cola bottles?
Give your answer in its simplest form

Answers

Answer 1

(1)

If there are three times as many males as females, the ratio of males to females would be 3:1.

To make this more clearer. Suppose you have 100 students. for each 4 students, 3 of them are male and 1 is a female.

We can then say there are 75 males and 25 females.

Expressing this as a ratio(fraction) is easy 3 out of 4 are males and 1 out of 4 are females. So the ratio of males would be;

[tex]r(m) = \frac{3}{4} [/tex]

(2)

Let x be the number of cola bottles

Let y be the number of smarties

Let z be the number of marshmallows

x=3y (since there are 3 times more x than y)

y=2z (since there are 2 times more y than z)

we know that marshmallows are twice as less as smarties. so for 1 marshmallow you'd have 2 smarties. But we also know that cola bottles should be 2×3=6 since we have 3 times more cola bottles than smarties.

Adding up our total sweets we get;

1+2+6=9

But how many of those are cola bottles? 6!

So the ratio of cola bottles can be expressed as,

[tex]r(c) = \frac{6}{9} = \frac{2}{3} [/tex]

You can simplify the numerator and denominator by 3 to get 2 over 3.

a newspaper editor hired a writer for jokes cartoons. the cost for 8 jokes and 6 cartoons is 610usd. the cost of 6 jokes and 8 cartoons is 510usd how much do a joke and a cartoon together cost

Answers

Answer:

a joke and a cartoon together cost $80

c=$15   j=$65

Step-by-step explanation:

j=joke

c=cartoon

8j +6c = 610

6j+8c = 510

    Multiply the first by 8

    Multiply the second by -6

64j +48c = 4880

-36j -48c = -3060

      ADD both (c will cancel)

28j = 1820

j= 65

       PLUG j

8(65) + 6c = 610

520+6c = 610

6c= 90

 c = 15

       j + c   = 65+15 = 80

8 out of 9 people in a class of 360 people are right handed, what is the percentage or right handed people and left. Then how many people out of the class of 360 is left and right handed.

Answers

Answer:

88.889% are right handed, 11.111% are left handed, ~320 people are right handed in a class of 360, ~40 people are right handed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction 8/9 is equal to .88889, or 88.889%

Likewise, the fraction 1/9  (remainder) is equal to .11111, or 11.111%

By multiplying 360 by these fractions to get the number of people who fit these criteria in the sample, you get:

360*8/9 = 320 people right handed.

360*1/9 = 40 people left handed.

Using the median concept, it is found that the third quartile is of is of $1,052.

What is the median of a data-set?

The median of the data-set separates the bottom half from the upper half, that is, it is the 50th percentile.

In this problem, the ordered data-set is:

$379, $498, $619, $777, $895, $1,052, $1,256.

Hence, the median of $777 divides the data-set into two halfs:

The first half is: $379, $498, $619.The second half is: $895, $1,052, $1,256.

Hence, the third quartile, which is the median of the second half, is of $1,052.

Dylan purchased a new car in 1993 for $26,300. The value of the car has been depreciating exponentially at a constant rate. If the value of the car was $2,700 in the year 2001, then what would be the predicted value of the car in the year 2006, to the nearest dollar?

Answers

The predicted value of the car in the year 2006 to the nearest dollar would be  $651.

What is the predicted value of the car?

The first step is to determine the rate of depreciation

g = (FV/PV)^(1/n) - 1

Where:

FV = value of the car in 2001

PV = value of the car in 1993

n = number ofyears = 8

(2700/26,300)^(1/8) - 1  = -24.76%

Now determine the value of the car in 2006

2700x ( 1 - 0.2476)^5 = $651

Abby is shooting a rocket off the top of a 128 foot tall building at a velocity of 96 feet per second. The equation to represent this is h(t) = -16t? +960 + 128 where h(t) represents the height of the rocket and t is the time after takeoff.

What is the maximum height of the rocket?
How many seconds does ot take to get to the maximum height?
Find the time it takes (in seconds) for the rocket to crash to the ground.​

Answers

Answer:

  a) 272 feet

  b) 3 seconds

  c) 7.123 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator provides an easy way to answer questions about the parameters of a quadratic function. Here the graph shows ...

a) the maximum height is 272 feet

b) it takes 3 seconds to get there

c) the rocket crashes after about 7.123 seconds

__

You can solve this algebraically by rewriting the equation in vertex form.

  h(t) = -16t² +96t +128 . . . . . . given

  h(t) = -16(t² -6t) +128 . . . . . . . factor out leading coefficient

  h(t) = -16(t² -6t +9) +128 -(-16)(9) . . . . complete the square

  h(t) = -16(t -3)² +272 . . . . . . write in vertex form

The vertex of the height function is (3, 272) meaning the rocket reaches a maximum height of 272 feet after 3 seconds.

__

The zero of the function can be found to be ...

  0 = -16(t -3)² +272

  0 = (t -3)² -17 . . . . . . divide by -16

  t -3 = ±√17 . . . . . . add 17, take the square root

  t = 3 +√17 ≈ 7.123106 . . . . . positive time value for h(t) = 0

It takes about 7.12 seconds for the rocket to crash.

An amount of R351 is made up with 114 coins (R2 coins and R5 coins only). How many R2 coins are there? How many R5 coin are there?​

Answers

Answer:

41

Step-by-step explanation:

For this, you have to make two equations;

One that calculates the amount of coins

and one that calculates the amount of R

I'm going to set

R2 = x

R5 = y

To make this a bit easier to look at

So to do the number of coins, you want to do this:

x + y = 114

This is saying that the total amount of R2 coins plus the total amount of R5 coins will add up to 114

Then, you want to calculate the worth of them.

2(x) + 5(y) = 351

This is saying that for ever R2 coin there is, it will increase the total by 2, and every R5, it will increase the total by 5. When you add these together, it will come out to 351.

Then you have to solve the system of equations:

x + y = 114

2x + 5y = 351

-2 * (x + y = 114)

2x + 5y = 351

-2x + -2y = -228

2x + 5y = 351

3y = 123

y = 41

Since y is the amount of R5 coins, we know we have 41 R5 coins.

So the answer is

41
