Red At Santa's workshop, Jingles
the Elf sampled candy canes. He found
that 18 candy canes were broken. This
number represented 15% of the total
number of candy canes he inspected.
What was the total number of candy
canes Jingles sampled?

Answers

Answer 1

Based on the total number of candy canes damaged and the proportion of the total it was, the total inspected was 120 candy canes.

Assuming the total number of candy canes inspected is x, the relevant formula would be:

18 = x × 15%

Solving for x would give us:

18 = 0.15x

x = 18 / 0.15

= 120 candy canes

In conclusion, 120 canes were sampled.

Answer:

  a32 = -80

Step-by-step explanation:

The generic term of an arithmetic sequence is ...

  an = a1 +d(n -1)

Using the supplied values for an and n, we can write two equations that can be solved for a1 and d.

  -221 = a1 +d(79 -1)

  -14 = a1 +d(10 -1)

Subtracting the second equation from the first, we have ...

  -221 -(-14) = (a1 +78d) -(a1 +9d)

  -207 = 69d . . . . . simplify

  -3 = d . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of d

Then the value of a1 can be found as ...

  -14 = a1 +(-3)(9) . . . . substitute for d in the second equation

  13 = a1 . . . . . . . . . . . add 27

__

Using our formula to find the 32nd term, we have ...

  an = 13 -3(n -1)

  a32 = 13 -3(32 -1)

  a32 = -80

The 32nd term of the sequence is -80.

|-4-r|=4

Answers

Answer:

r = 0 and r = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

|-4-r|=4

-4 = -4-r = 4

0 = - r = 8

0 = r = -8

When you have absolute value signs, to get rid of the absolute value signs and find the value of the term, you simply add another eqaul sign (=), and add a negative in front (- =). If it is already set to equal a negative, there isn't any solution.

|x| = 4

-4 = x = 4

So x would equal 4 and -4 for this example.

Another example:

|x|=-5

Because it's equal to a negative, the solution is automatically no solution.

The actual answer is r = 0 and r = -8

∠ECB = ∠EAD          alternate interior angles are equal and AC is transversal

ΔAED ~ ΔCEB            ∠ECB = ∠EAD & ∠AED = ∠BEC & ∠EBC = ∠ADE

T is the mid point of QR

U is the mid point of QS

V is the mid point of RS

Definition: The segment of line joining the middle points of two sides of a triangle is called middle segment.

Inference: A middle segment of a triangle is parallel to the third side and its lengths is half the third side's.

so here TU ║ RV and TU = RV  

UV ║ TR and UV = TR

so TUVR becomes a parallelogram

∠TUV = ∠TRV -------->  condition 1

same goes with parallelogram TQUV

∠TQU = ∠UVT ----------> condition 2

same goes with parallelogram TUSV

∠UTV = ∠USV ------------> condition 3

from the above 3 conditions we can say

ΔQRS ~ ΔVUT

3) see the below figure for graph

in both triangles ∠B is common

AC and TS are parallel lines

BC  and BA are transversals

∠C ∠S are equal --> corresponding angles

∠A ∠T are equal ---> corresponding angles

so ΔABC & ΔTBS are similar

(c) If there are in total 3 red balls in the bag, how many balls are there altogether ?
pls give the way​

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting a red ball, the number of black balls and total balls are 0.3, 2 and 10 respectively.

What is probability?

Probability is the branch of Mathematics that deals with the measurement of the chance of occurrence of a random event.

The probability of any event always lie in the close interval of 0 and 1 [0,1].

Given that,

The probability of getting a black ball is 0.2.

The probability of getting a white ball is 0.5.

(a) As the bag contains only black, white and red balls, the probability of getting a red ball is,

1 - (0.2 + 0.5)

= 0.3

(a) The probability of getting white balls can be written as,

P (white ball) = Number of white balls ÷ Total number of balls

Substitute all the given values to get,

Total number of balls = 5 ÷ 0.5

                                   = 10

Similarly, for black balls it can be written that,

P (black ball) = Number of black balls ÷ Total number of balls

Substitute all the given values to get,

Number of black balls = 10 × 0.2

                                    = 2

(c) When number of red balls are three then,

P (red ball) = Number of red balls ÷ Total number of balls

Substitute all the given values to get,

Total number of balls = 3 ÷ 0.3

                                    = 10.        

Hence, the answers for all the parts are 0.3, 2 and 10 respectively.

What is the image of the point. (6, – 7) after a rotation of 180° counterclockwise
about the origin?

Answers

Answer:

(-6,7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The rotation is 180 degrees, so its means that the direction (clockwise vs counterclockwise) doesn't actually matter. With a rotation of 180 degrees, the preimage is switched to the opposite side of both the y and x-axis. This means that the rule for rotation around 180 is (-h,-k). Therefore, the answer will have the opposite signs. Thus. the image of (6,-7) is (-6,7).

(-6, 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + y + 14 =0

2(2k-3) + (k + 2) + 14 = 0

4k - 6 + k + 2 + 14 = 0

4k + k - 6 + 2 + 14 = 0
