Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x=22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the proportion:

5/x=2/9

Cross multiply. Multiply the numerator (top number) of the first fraction by the denominator (bottom number) of the second. Then multiply the denominator of the first by the numerator of the second.

5*9=2*x

45=2x

2 and x are being multiplied. The opposite of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 2. This will cancel out the 2 being multiplied by x, and leave x by itself.

45/2=2x/2

45/2=x

22.5=x

If we substitute 22.5 in for x, the final proportion will be:

5/22.5=2/9

At noon, ship A is 150 km west of ship B. Ship A is sailing east at 30 km/h and ship B is sailing north at 25 km/h. How fast is the distance between the ships changing at 4:00 PM?

Answers

Answer:

At 4:00 PM the distance between the two ships is 104.40 kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that at noon, ship A is 150 km west of ship B, and ship A is sailing east at 30 km / h and ship B is sailing north at 25 km / h, to determine how fast is the distance between the ships changing at 4:00 PM the following calculation must be performed:

150 - (30 x 4) = 150 - 120 = 30

0 + (25 x 4) = 0 + 100 = 100

30 ^ 2 + 100 ^ 2 = X ^ 2

√ (900 + 10,000) = X

√10,900 = X

104.40 = X

Therefore, at 4:00 PM the distance between the two ships is 104.40 kilometers.

Answer:

D. None of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

Both triangles have the same shape but different size. Their area cannot be the same. Also, the ratio of their corresponding side lengths are the same.

Thus:

8/4 = 10/5 = 6/3 = 2

This implies that both triangles are similar.

Therefore, both triangles cannot have the same area, they are not of the same size and cannot be congruent to each other.

The sweeping angle is 120°.

We need to find the total area cleaned at one sweep of the blade. The area of sector is given by :

The amount of snowfall falling in a certain mountain range is normally distributed with a average of 170 inches, and a standard deviation of 20 inches. What is the probability a randomly selected year will have an average snofall above 200 inches

Answers

Answer:

0.0668 = 6.68% probability a randomly selected year will have an average snowfall above 200 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Normally distributed with a average of 170 inches, and a standard deviation of 20 inches.

This means that [tex]\mu = 170, \sigma = 20[/tex]

What is the probability a randomly selected year will have an average snowfall above 200 inches?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 200. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{200 - 170}{20}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.5[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.5[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9332.

1 - 0.9332 = 0.0668

0.0668 = 6.68% probability a randomly selected year will have an average snowfall above 200 inches.

Prove that the square of an odd number is always 1 more than a multiple of 4

Answers

Answer:

By these examples you are able to see that the square of an odd number is always 1 more than a multiple of 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

For examples,

Let's consider squares of 3, 11, 25, 37 and 131.

[tex] {3}^{2} = 9[/tex]

8 is a multiple of 4, and 9 is more than 8.

[tex] {11}^{2} = 121[/tex]

120 is a multiple of 4 and 121 is one more than it.

[tex] {25}^{2} = 625[/tex]

624 is a multiple of 4 and 625 is one more than it.

[tex] {37}^{2} = 1369[/tex]

1368 is a multiple of 4 and 1369 is one more than 1368.

[tex] {131}^{2} = 17161[/tex]

17160 is a multiple of 4.

Answer:

C, D, D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 6)

We want to determine the equation of the graphed inequality.

First, let's determine the equation of the line for the inequality. We can see that it passes through the points (-2, 0) and (0, 2). Find the slope:

[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{2-0}{0-(-2)}=\frac{2}{2}=1[/tex]

So, the slope of the line is one.

And since it passes through the point (0, 2), our y-intercept is two. Therefore, the equation of the line is:

[tex]y=x+2[/tex]

Next, notice that the shaded region is below the line. Also, the line itself is also shaded.

Since the shaded region is below the line, y is less than the graph of the line and since the line itself is shaded, our sign is less than or equal to.

Hence:

[tex]y \leq x + 2[/tex]

Our answer is C.

Problem 7)

We have the inequality:

[tex]-2x+8+5x>2x+1[/tex]

First, solve the inequality. Combine like terms:

[tex]3x+8>2x+1[/tex]

Subtract x from both sides:

[tex]x+8>1[/tex]

And subtract 8 from both sides:

[tex]x>-7[/tex]

Therefore, any value greater than -7 will satisfy the inequality.

Out of the choices, the only choice greater than -7 is -5.

So, our answer is D.

Problem 8)

We have the inequality:

[tex]5x+7\leq 8x-3+2x[/tex]

Again, solve the inequality. Combine like terms:

[tex]5x+7\leq 10x-3[/tex]

Subtract 5x from both sides:

[tex]7\leq 5x-3[/tex]

And add three to both sides:

[tex]10\leq 5x[/tex]

Divide both sides by five:

[tex]2\leq x[/tex]

Flip:

[tex]x\geq 2[/tex]

Therfore, any value greater than or equal to 2 will satisfy the inequality.

Out of the choices, the only choice greater than or equal to 2 is 2.

So, our answer is D.

Negative 99 145

Answers

Answer:

0.9295 = 92.95% probability of getting someone who tests negative, given that he or she did not have the disease.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question:

11 + 145 = 156 people did not have the disease.

Out of those, 145 tested positive. So

[tex]p = \frac{145}{156} = 0.9295[/tex]

0.9295 = 92.95% probability of getting someone who tests negative, given that he or she did not have the disease.

2. About 40 millions of aluminum cans can be recycled each month in the US. A quarter of these aluminum cans are used to make one aluminum boat. How many aluminum boats can be made in one year in the US?​

Answers

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

About 40 millions of aluminum cans can be recycled each month in the US. A quarter of these aluminum cans are used to make one aluminum boat. How many aluminum boats can be made in one year in the US?

Given that:

Approximate Number of cans that can be recycled per month in the US = 40 million

Fraction of recycled cans that can be used to make an aluminum boat = 1/4

The number of aluminum boats that can be made in the US in one year :

If about 40 million cans are recycle per month :

The number of boat that can be made from each monthly recycled aluminum cans will be :

Number of monthly recycled can needed to make one boat:

1/4 * 40 million = 10 million cans

Hence, 40,000,000 / 10,000,000 = 4

4 aluminum boats can be made in one month :

Number of months in a year = 12

Number of aluminum boats that can be made in a year :

4 per month * 12 = 48 aluminum boats

The marked price of a bicycle is Rs 2000. If the shopkeeper allows some discount and a customer

Answers

Answer:

Discount amount = $328.73

Step-by-step explanation:

Below is the calculation for the discount amount:

The marked price of bicycle = 2000

Purchase price = Rs 1921

VAT = 13%

First find the purchase price excluding VAT = 1921  - (13% of 1921) = 1671.27

Answers

Answer:

  3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

It might be easier to start by expressing the ratios with AD as the denominator.

  AD/AC = 2/1   ⇒   AC/AD = 1/2

  AD/AB = 3/1   ⇒   AB/AD = 1/3

From the latter, we have ...

  (AD -AB)/AD = 1 -1/3 = 2/3 = BD/AD

Then the desired ratio is ...

  AC/BD = (AC/AD)/(BD/AD) = (1/2)/(2/3) = (3/6)/(4/6)

  AC/BD = 3/4
