A sailor cut a 40 foot length of rope in two pieces. If the longer piece is five feet less than twice the shorter piece of rope, then how long is the longer piece.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

23ft longer

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The shorter piece is 15 feet, while the longer piece is 25 feet

Let the longer piece be y, and the shorter piece be x.

So, we have:

[tex]x + y = 40[/tex] --- the length of the rope

[tex]y =2x - 5[/tex] --- the relationship between the short and the long piece

Substitute 2x - 5 for y in [tex]x + y = 40[/tex]

[tex]x + 2x - 5 =40[/tex]

[tex]3x - 5 =40[/tex]

Add 5 to both sides

[tex]3x =45[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3

[tex]x =15[/tex]

Substitute 15 for x in [tex]y =2x - 5[/tex]

[tex]y =2 \times 15 -5[/tex]

[tex]y =30 -5[/tex]

[tex]y =25[/tex]

Hence, the shorter piece is 15 feet, while the longer piece is 25 feet

There are 10 bags of cereal in a pantry. Each serving of cereal is 1/8 of a bag.

How many servings of cereal are there in the bags in the pantry?

Answers

Answer:

80 servings

Step-by-step explanation:

there is 8 serving per bag

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let servings be s and the bag be b

s = 1/8 b

multiply both sides by 8

8s = b

For 10 bags, it will be 10*8s = 80s which is 80 servings.

x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

24(24 + x) = 36² => tangent-secant theorem

Open the bracket

24*24 + 24*x = 36²

576 + 24x = 1,296

24x = 720

Divide both sides by 24

Lisa plays soccer 3 out of the 7 days of the week. How many possible schedules are there to play
soccer on Monday or Tuesday or both.
Ex: 5

Answers

Answer:

There are 25 possible schedules.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which they play soccer is not important(Monday and Tuesday is the same as Tuesday and Monday), and thus the combinations formula is used to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

Monday but not Tuesday:

Monday(1) and 2 out of the remaining 7 - 2 = 5. So

[tex]C_{5,2} = \frac{5!}{2!3!} = 10[/tex]

Tuesday but not Monday:

Tuesday(1) and 2 out of the remaining 7 - 2 = 5. So

[tex]C_{5,2} = \frac{5!}{2!3!} = 10[/tex]

Monday and Tuesday:

Monday and Tuesday(1), plus one out of the remaing 5 days. So

[tex]C_{5,1} = \frac{5!}{1!4!} = 5[/tex]

Total:

10 + 10 + 5 = 25

There are 25 possible schedules.

What is a histogram?

A histogram is a representation of the distribution of data with intervals.

We have,

Right-skewed and left-skewed are terms used to describe the shape of a data distribution.

A right-skewed (or positively skewed) distribution is one in which the tail on the right-hand side of the graph is longer or fatter than the tail on the left-hand side.

A left-skewed (or negatively skewed) distribution is the opposite of a right-skewed distribution.

In this case, the tail on the left-hand side of the graph is longer or fatter than the tail on the right-hand side.

Now,

We see that the histogram given is right-skewed because the tail on the right-hand side of the graph is longer or fatter than the tail on the left-hand side.

Thus,

The number of white flowers grown is
37 fewer than that of pink flowers. Find the
total number of flowers grown.​

Answers

Answer:

The total number of flowers grown is 163.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since in a flower fertilization experiment, the number of pink flowers grown is twice that of red flowers, and the number of white flowers grown is 3 more than that of red flowers, the number of white flowers grown is 37 fewer than that of pink flowers, to find the total number of flowers grown the following calculation must be performed:

P = 2R

W = R + 3

W = P - 37

W = W

R + 3 = 2R - 37

R + 3 + 37 = 2R

40 = 2R - R

40 = R

P = 2 x 40 = 80

R = 40

W = 40 + 3 = 43

80 + 40 + 43 = X

163 = X

Therefore, the total number of flowers grown is 163.

Kindly check explanation for (1)

2.)

B. We fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is insufficient evidence at a 0.02 level of significance to support the power company claim that the mean amount of electricity for their residents is more than the national average.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.)

H0 : μ = 10290

H0 : μ > 10290

n = 153, sample mean, xbar = 10586 ; population standard deviation, σ = 2509 ; α = 0.05

Test statistic:

(xbar - μ) ÷ (σ/√(n))

(10586 - 10290) ÷ (2509/√(153))

296 / 202.84062

Test statistic (Z) = 1.46

We obtain the Pvalue :

Decision Region :

Reject H0 ; if Pvalue < α

Pvalue from Z test statistic calculator :

Pvalue = 0.072

Pvalue > α ; Hence, we fail to reject the Null ; there isn't sufficient evidence to support the power company's claim

2.)

H0 : μ = 10290

H0 : μ > 10290

n = 153, sample mean, xbar = 10446 ; population standard deviation, σ = 2509 ; α = 0.02

Test statistic:

(xbar - μ) ÷ (σ/√(n))

(10446 - 10290) ÷ (2509/√(153))

156 / 202.84062

Test statistic (Z) = 0.769

We obtain the Pvalue :

Decision Region :

Reject H0 ; if Pvalue < α

Pvalue from Z test statistic calculator :

Pvalue = 0.221

Pvalue > α ; Hence, we fail to reject the Null ;

B. We fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is insufficient evidence at a 0.02 level of significance to support the power company claim that the mean amount of electricity for their residents is more than the national average.

The correct solution is

Answers

Answer:

"His mistake was on line 1. He didn't distribute the negative sign (indicating a -1) to everything in the equation for y."

The correct solution is: x = -10, y = -38

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - y = 18

y = 4x + 2

Substitute the given value for y into the first equation:

2x - (4x + 2) = 18

2x - 4x - 2 = 18 ** here, he didn't distribute the (-) to everything in the parentheses that represents y

-2x -2 = 18

add 2 to both sides

-2x = 20

divide by -2

x = -10

-------------------

solve for y

y = 4x + 2

y = 4(-10) + 2

y = -40 + 2

y = -38

------------------

Check the math:

2x -  y = 18

2(-10) - (-38) = - 20 + 38 = 18
