The time t required to do a job varies inversely as the number of people working. It takes 4 hr for 7 cooks to prepare the food for a wedding rehearsal dinner. How long will it take 8 cooks to prepare the dinner?

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3 1/2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 8/7 times as many cooks, it will take 7/8 the amount of time. (That's what "inversely proportional" means.)

  (7/8)(4 h) = 28/8 h = 3 1/2 h

It will take 8 cooks 3 1/2 hours to prepare the dinner.

A vacation resort offers surfing lessons and parasailing. If a
person takes a surfing lesson and goes parasailing, she will pay
a total of $175. On Friday, the resort collects a total of $3,101 for
activities. How much does each activity cost?

Answers

$320 because if u take 3,101

After solving the equations, the cost of parasailing will be 99.75 and the cost of surfing will be equal to 75.25.

What is an Expression?

Mathematical actions are called expressions if they have at least two terms that are related by an operator and include either numbers, variables, or both.

Adding, subtraction, multiplying, and division are all reflection coefficient operations. A mathematical operation such as reduction, addition, multiplication, or division is used to integrate terms into an expression.

The given information in the question is,

Assume the cost of parasailing is x and the cost of surfing is y.

x + y = 175

Total number of people in Parasailing = 16 people

Total number of people in Surfing = 20 people

Total collection done by resort = $3,101

16x + 20y = 3,101

So, the equations will be,

16x+20y=3,101            (i)

x + y = 175                  (ii)

Now, multiply the equation (ii) by 16 and solve the equation,

16x+20y=3,101

16x+16y= 2,800

4y = 301

Now, find the value of y,

y = 301/4

y = 75.25

Then, the value of x will be equal to,

x + y = 175

x+75.25 =175

Solve for x:

x=175-72.25

x = 99.75

Does this graph show a function? Explain how you know.

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

It passes the vertical line test

the vertical line test is taking a vertical line and putting it anywhere on the graph, and if it passes 2 points, it fails, and since if you put the line anywhere, it only passes one point of the parabala, so it passes the line test

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation: The easiest way to determine if a

relation is a function is to use the vertical line test.

The vertical line test tells us that if we can draw a vertical line

that intersects more than one point on the graph of a relation,

then the relation is not a function.

However, in this case, notice that there is no way to draw a

vertical line that intersects more than one point on the graph.

Therefore, this relation must be a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. I can't see the first one very well.

2. Find the area of each triangle by doing 1/2 * base * height. This should give you [tex]40m^{2}[/tex]

3. The area of a trapezium is [tex]\frac{1}{2} (a+b)h[/tex] where a is the top edge, b is the bottom edge and h is the height.

We can work out the bottom edge using pythagoras - split the trapezium into 2 triangles on each side and a rectangle in the middle. This gives you the length of the bottom edge which is 2 + 2 + 2 = 6'

Work out the area by doing 1/2(2+6)4 = 16' squared.

4.Split this shape into a triangle and rectangle. We know the right hand edge of the triangle= 9-4 = 5'.

To find the bottom edge of the triangle, use tanθ=opposite/adjacent line. Therefore tan45=bottom edge of triangle/5'. tan 45=1 therefore bottom edge = 5'.

The bottom edge of triangle gives us the height; use 1/2(a+b)h to work out the area of the trapezium. 1/2(4+9)5 = 32.5' squared

Step-by-step explanation:

2x – 9y = 14

x= -6y +7     <-- (Substitute for x to above equation)

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

2(-6y +7)– 9y = 14

-12y + 14 - 9y = 14    <-- combine like terms

-21y + 14 = 14  

        -14 = -14   <-- inverse operation on both sides

2x – 9y = 14

The isotope Herodium-100 decreases by half every minute, Herodium-100 is there
isotope that gives a super hero their strength. Once the amount depletes to 4 ml, a
superhero becomes tired and need to leave the fight. If Mathman has 2000mL in his
body, when will he have to rest and replenish, rounded to the nearest minute?

Answers

Answer:

After about 9 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write an exponential function to model the decay of Herodium-100.

We are given that it decreases by half every minute.

The standard exponential function is given by:

[tex]f(m)=A(r)^m[/tex]

Where A is the initial amount, r is the rate, and m is the rate (in this case, in minutes).

Mathman initially has 2000 mL of Herodium-100. Therefore, A = 2000.

And since it decreases by half every minute, r = 1/2. Thus:

[tex]\displaystyle f(m)=2000\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^m[/tex]

Mathman needs to rest when the Herodium-100 levels drop to 4 mL. Therefore, we can substitute 4 for f(m) and solve for m:

[tex]\displaystyle 4=2000\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^m[/tex]

Solve for m. Divide both sides by 2000:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{4}{2000}=\frac{1}{500}=\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^m[/tex]

We can take the natural log of both sides:

[tex]\displaystyle \ln\Big(\frac{1}{500}\Big)=\ln\Big(\frac{1}{2}^m\Big)[/tex]

By logarithm properties:

[tex]\displaystyle \ln\Big(\frac{1}{500}\Big)=m\ln\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{\ln(1/500)}{\ln(1/2)}\approx 8.9657\approx 9\text{ minutes}[/tex]

Mathman will have to rest and replenish after 9 minutes.

If arc VY = 132° and ∠YUV = 41°, what is the measure of arc XV?

Answers

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

Use this equation

[tex] \frac{b - a}{2} = angle \: yuv[/tex]

where b is arc VY, A is arc XV.

Substitute the equation in

[tex] \frac{132 - a}{2} = 41[/tex]

[tex]132 - a = 82[/tex]

[tex] - a = - 50[/tex]

[tex]a = 50[/tex]

Over the past few years, Mitchell has made 99 trips to visit the amusement park. He drove 6,870.1 kilometers in all. To the nearest hundredth of a kilometer, how far did Mitchell drive on each trip?

Answers

Answer:

69.39  kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

total kilometres driven on each trip = total kilometres driven on all trips / total number of visits

6,870.1 / 99 = 69.394949

To the nearest hundredth means we are rounding off the third number after the decimal point. The second number after the decimal is the hundredth. The third number is less than 4, so zero would be added to the preceding number

[tex]w=x[/tex]

We know that, the perimeter of a rectangle is

[tex]P=2(l+w)[/tex]

[tex]P=2(x+4+x)[/tex]

[tex]P=2(2x+4)[/tex]

[tex]P=4x+8[/tex]

It is given that the perimeter of the rectangle is less than 140.

[tex]P<140[/tex]

[tex]4x+8<140[/tex]

[tex]4x<140-8[/tex]

[tex]4x<132[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4.

[tex]x<\dfrac{132}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x<33[/tex]

A shipment of 12 television sets content to defective sets in how many ways can a hotel purchase five of these ads and receive at least two of the defective sets

Answers

Answer:

Total number of ways a hotel can purchase 5 of 12 sets and receive at least 2 defective sets = 288

Step-by-step explanation:

P.S - The exact question is -

Given - A shipment of 12 television sets contains 3 defective  sets.

To find - In how many ways can a hotel purchase  5 of these sets and receive at least 2 of the defective  sets?

Proof -

We know that The combination of n distinct objects taken k at a time is

[tex]^{n} C_{k} = \frac{n!}{k! (n-k)!}[/tex]

Now,

The number of ways hotel can receive 2 defective sets among 5 that can be purchased is

[tex]^{9} C_{3} * ^{3}C_{2} = \frac{9!}{3! (9-3)!} \frac{3!}{2! (3-2)!}[/tex]

⇒[tex]^{9} C_{3} * ^{3}C_{2}[/tex] = 84(3) = 252

Now,

The number of ways that hotel receives 3 defective sets among 5 that are purchased is

[tex]^{9} C_{2} * ^{3}C_{3} = \frac{9!}{2! (9-2)!} \frac{3!}{3! (3-3)!}[/tex]

⇒[tex]^{9} C_{2} * ^{3}C_{3}[/tex] = 36(1) = 36

Now,

Total number of ways a hotel can purchase 5 of 12 sets and receive at least 2 defective sets = 252 + 36 = 288

⇒Total number of ways a hotel can purchase 5 of 12 sets and receive at least 2 defective sets = 288
