3
Kerry takes 80% of the blue counters from the box.
Work out the ratio of the number of red counters to the number of blue counters now in the
box.
Give your ratio in its simplest form.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The ratio of red to blue would be 60: 6 which can be simplified to 10:1.

Answer 2

The ratio of red to blue counters would be 60: 6 which can be simplified to 10:1

What is ratio ?

Ratio is the comparison of two quantities in terms of same units.

Example : If a & b be two numbers, then the ratio is a/b, where b≠0

What is the required ratio ?

Let Blue counters = x

Red counters would be = 3 times of blue counters = 3x

There are a total of 120 counters in a box.

First we have to find, the number of red and the number of blue counters:

3x + x = 120

⇒ 4x = 120

⇒ x = 120/4

⇒ x = 30

There are 30 blue counters.

Red counters = 3×30 = 90

Carl took 1/3 of the red, 90 / 3 = 30, so there were 60 red counters left in the box.

Kerry took 80% of the blue, 30 * 0.80 = 24, so there were 6 blue counters left in the box.

The ratio of red to blue counters would be 60: 6 which can be simplified to 10:1.

a/b=7/5

a=7b/5

a+b=36, using 7b/5 for a we have

7b/5+b=36

7b/5+5b/5=36

12b/5=36

12b=180

b=15, and since a=7b/5

a=7(15)/5

a=21

There were 48 blue, 48 green, and 48 yellow crayons. Also there were 72 red crayons and 120 colored pictures. What is the largest number of identical sets can be made of these crayons and pictures?

Answers

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, you need to find the greatest common factor because you need to divide all of the materials equally into identical sets.

If you factor out the numbers 48, 72, and 120, (same # of blue, green, and yellow crayons) you'll get the GCF of 24.

48 - 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48

72 - 1, 2, 3, 4, 18, 6, 8, 9, 12, 24, 36, 72

120 - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 60, 120

The greatest common factor in all of these lists is 24.

Therefore, the largest number of identical sets is 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that on Monday in Minneapolis, Minnesota it’s was 0 ° F outside, while on Tuesday it was 15 degrees colder, to determine what was the temperature on Tuesday the following calculation must be performed:

0 - 15 = X

-15 = X

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2(x+1)(x+7)

f(x)=2(x^2+8x+7)

f(x)=2x^2+16x+14

f(x)=2(x^2+8x)+14

f(x)=2(x^2+8x+4^2-4^2)+14

f(x)=2(x^2+8x+4^2)+2(-4^2)+14

f(x)=2(x^2+8x+4^2)+2(-4^2)+14

f(x)=2(x^2+8x+4^2)-18

f(x)=2(x+4)^2-18

We wish to modify the cellular telephone coding system in order to reduce the number of errors. In particular, if there are two or three zeroes in the received sequence of 5 bits, we will say that a deletion (event D) occurs. Otherwise, if at least 4 zeroes are received, then the receiver decides a zero was sent. Similarly, if at least 4 ones are received, then the receiver decides a one was sent. We say that an error occurs if either a one was sent and the receiver decides zero was sent or if a zero was sent and the receiver decides a one was sent. For this modified protocol, what is the probability P[E] of an error? What is the probability P[D] of a deletion?

Answers

Solution :

Here, we have 5 trails that corresponds to the 5 times the binary symbol is sent. On each trail, success is said to occur when the binary symbol is received correctly. The probability of a success is p = 1 - q = 0.9 and q = 0.1

Now if the 0 is being transmitted, then the 0 is sent 5 number of times and then we call the decoding a 0 success. Let the repeated transmission are independent. In this case, we have 5 trails. Let each repeated bit the receiver decodes as 1 a success, using the binomial probabilities. We using the [tex]$S_{k,5}$[/tex] to denote an event of [tex]$k$[/tex] successes in the 5 trails, then the probability k are decoded at the receiver is:

[tex]$P[S_{k,5}]=\binom{5}{k}p^k(1-p)^{5-k}$[/tex]

           [tex]$=\binom{5}{k}(0.9)^k(1-0.9)^{5-k}$[/tex]

           [tex]$=\binom{5}{k}(0.9)^k(0.1)^{5-k}$[/tex]    

Here, k = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

The probability of the transmitted bit to be decoded correctly is:

[tex]$P[C]=P[S_{5,5}]+P[S_{2,5}]$[/tex]

         [tex]$=\binom{5}{3}(0.9)^5(0.1)^{0}+\binom{5}{4}(0.9)^4(0.1)^1$[/tex]

         [tex]$=(0.9)^5+5(0.9)^4(0.1)^1$[/tex]

         = 0.91854

The probability that the deletion occurs is

[tex]$P[D]=P[S_{3,5}]+P[S_{2,5}]$[/tex]

          [tex]$=\binom{5}{3}(0.9)^3(0.1)^{2}+\binom{5}{2}(0.9)^2(0.1)^3$[/tex]

         [tex]$=10(0.9)^3(0.1)^2+10(0.9)^2(0.1)^3$[/tex]

         = 0.081

The probability of an error is

[tex]$P[E]=P[S_{1,5}]+P[S_{0,5}]$[/tex]

          [tex]$=\binom{5}{1}(0.9)^1(0.1)^{4}+\binom{5}{0}(0.9)^0(0.1)^5$[/tex]

         [tex]$=5(0.9)^1(0.1)^4+(0.1)^5$[/tex]

         = 0.00046

A rocket fired upward from some initial distance above the ground. Its height (in feet) h, above the ground t seconds after it is fired is given by h(t)=-16t^2+160t+384

What is the rockets maximum height?


After it is fired, The rocket reaches the ground at t=____ seconds

Answers

Answer:

Part A)

784 feet in the air (after five seconds).

Part B)

After 12 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height h (in feet) of a rocket t seconds after being fired is modeled by the function:

[tex]h(t)=-16t^2+160t+384[/tex]

Part A)

We want to find the rocket's maximum height.

Since our function is a quadratic, the maximum height will occur at its vertex. The vertex of a quadratic is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle \Big(-\frac{b}{2a}\, f\Big(-\frac{b}{2a}\Big)\Big)[/tex]

In this case, a = -16, b = 160, and c = 384.

So, the vertex occurs at:

[tex]\displaystyle t=-\frac{160}{2(-16)}=\frac{160}{32}=5\text{ seconds}[/tex]

The maximum height is reached after five seconds.

Then the maximum height is:

[tex]h(t)_\text{max}=h(5)=-16(5)^2+160(5)+384=784\text{ feet}[/tex]

Part B)

When the rocket reaches the ground, its height h above the ground will be 0. Hence:

[tex]h(t)_\text{ground}=0=-16t^2+160t+384[/tex]

Solve for t. We can first divide both sides by -16:

[tex]t^2-10t-24=0[/tex]

Factor:

[tex](t-12)(t+2)=0[/tex]

Zero Product Property:

[tex]t-12=0\text{ or } t+2=0[/tex]

Solve for each case:

[tex]t=12\text{ or } t=-2[/tex]

Time cannot be negative. Hence, our only solution is:

[tex]t=12\text{ seconds}[/tex]

The rocket reaches the ground 12 seconds after it is fired.
