A charter school did a local beach cleanup. They collected a total of 55 pounds of plastic bottles and aluminum cans. The California refund value for plastic is $1.60 per pound and $1.28 per pound for aluminum. The school recycled a total of $77.60 worth of plastic and aluminum. How many pounds of each, plastic and aluminum, did the class collect?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Plastic is 22.5 pounds and aluminum is 32.5 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

total junk = 55 pounds

Value of plastic = $ 1.60 per pound

Value of aluminum = $ 1.28 per pound

Total value= $ 77.60

Let the plastic is p and the aluminum is 55 - p.

Total cost

77.60 = 1.6 p + (55 - p) x 1.28

77.60 =  1.6 p + 70.4 - 1.28 p

7.2 = 0.32 p

p = 22.5 pounds

So, plastic is 22.5 pounds and aluminum is 32.5 pounds.

3x x 2 = 6x

-2 x 3x = -6x

-2 x 2 = -4

Combine to get:

Determine the volume of this object
1) 113 mm
2) 226.1 mm
3) 339.1 mm
4) 450 mm

Answers

Answer:

I think it would be 450 mm.

I believe 2 (226.1 mm) is the correct answer.
Step 1.

Find the circumference of the circle.
6(2)•3.14
37.68

Step 2. Multiply the circumference with the height (12mm)
37.68•12=452.16.

Final step: Divide your final answer by 2 because this object shown above is a cone.
452.16/2=226.08

The ages of subscribers to a certain newspaper are normally distributed with mean 35 years and standard deviation 5. What is the probability that the age of a random subscriber is more than 40 years?

Answers

Answer:

0.1587

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

P(μ>40) = P(μ-(x-μ)/σ)............. Equation 1

Where P(μ>40) =  probability of the age of the random subscriber more than 40 years   μ = mean, σ = standard deviation, x = random subscriber

From the question,

Given: μ = 35 years, σ = 5 years, x = 40 years.

Therefore,

P(μ>40) = P(35-(40-35)/5) = P(35-(5/5)

P(μ>40) = 1-φ(1)

From the norminal probabilty table,

P(μ>40) = 1-0.8413

P(μ>40) = 0.1587

two angles are complementary. The measure of one angle is 15° more than one-half of the measure of the other. Find the measure of each angle.​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to know two definitions. Well, you only have to know one for this problem, but you should probably learn the 2nd just to be thorough.

Definition 1: Complementary angles are two angles whose sum is 90 degrees.

Definition 2: Supplementary angles are two angles whose sum is 180 degrees.

For this problem, we'll work with the definition that says two complementary angles have a sum of 90 degrees.

Soooo, here are the facts from your problem: if one angle is 15 degree more than 2 times the other.find the measure of two angles.

Let's let the larger angle equal this: 15 + 2(x) (<--See how it is 15 degrees MORE than 2 times the other?)

Let's let the smaller angle equal: x

SO now our total equation is:

15 + 2(x) + x = 90

3x + 15 = 90 (combined like terms)

3x = 75 (subtracted 15 from both sides)

x = 25 (divided both sides by 3)

Now we know that one angle is 25. The other angle must add to 25 to make 90 degrees, so 90 - 25 = 65.

Therefore, your two angles are 25 and 65 degrees.

Does this check out? Let's see...

First: 25 + 65 = 90 Therefore, this checks out.

Second: The angle that is 65 degrees must be 15 degrees more than twice the other. So, let's take twice the other...... 25 * 2 = 50. And, let's add 15....50 + 15 = 65. Therefore YES, the 2nd angle is 15 more than 2 times the angle that was 25 degrees.

I hope this is helpful. :-)

A line has a slope of -2/3 and passes through the point (-3, 8). What is the equation of the line?

y= -2/3x + 8
y= 6x- 2/3
y= 8x- 2/3

Answers

Answer:

y= -2/3x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

Using slope intercept form

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -2/3x +b

Substitute the point into the equation

8 = -2/3(-3) +b

8 = 2+b

8-2 =b

6=b

y= -2/3x+6

In how many ways can a sample of 6 keyboards be selected so that exactly two have an electrical defect

Answers

Answer:

15ways

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a combination question since combination has to do with selection. Hence the number of ways sample of 6 keyboards can be selected so that exactly two have an electrical defect is expressed as;

6C2 = 6!/(6-2)!2!

6C2 = 6!/4!2!

6C2 = 6×5×4!/4!×2

6C2 = 6×5/2

6C2 = 30/2

6C2 = 15

Hence this can be done in 15ways
