There are books of three different languages on the bookshelves of one section of a library. The three different languages are Chinese, Malay and Tamil. Chinese books make up
6/10
of the books. The number of Malay books is 7 times more than the number of Tamil books. If there are 56 Malay books, how many books are there altogether in this section of the library?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 160 books in this section of the library

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this problem you need to set up a ratio.

since there are 7 times Malay books the number of Tamil books, you can say that

x = # of Tamil books

7x = # of Malay books

next, you know that there are 56 Malay books so you can substitute.

7x = 56

x = 56/7

x = 8

x = # of Tamil books

8 = # of Tamil books

now you know that there are 56 Malay books and 8 Tamil books. Chinese books make up 6/10 of the library so the other languages must add up to 4/10 of the books.

56 + 8 = 4/10 of the total books

64 = 4/10 of total books

if you call the total books T you can make this equation:

64 = 4/10T

64 * 10/4 = T

160 = T

Assume that f(x) = 2x^2 + 4. The function f(x) + k, where k is a constant, is represented by the graph below. what effect did adding k have on the graph of f(x)‽​

Answers

The effect  of adding k on the graph of f(x) will shift the curve upward by k units on the xy-plane.

Shifting of quadratic graph is the vertical direction

Given the parent function of the given graph expressed as  f(x) = 2x^2 + 4.

If this function is represented as f(x)+k, the addition of the constant "k" shows hat the  function f(x) has been shifted vertically upwards by a factors of 'k'

Hence the effect  of adding k on the graph of f(x) will shift the curve upward by k units on the xy-plane.

For a research project on rodents, 41 chipmunks were tagged and released. Later, researchers counted 320 chipmunks in the area. Of the chipmunks they counted, 16 had tags. To the nearest whole number, what is the best estimate for the chipmunk population?

Answers

820 rodents in total

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

create a proportional equation:

[tex]\sf \dfrac{present \ rodents}{present \ marked \ rodents} = \dfrac{later \ rodents}{later \ marked \ rodents}[/tex]

[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf \dfrac{x}{41} = \dfrac{320}{16}[/tex]                               ( Let the total population be x )

[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf x= \dfrac{320*41}{16}[/tex]

Let that be x

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{41}{x}=\dfrac{16}{320}[/tex]

Angle 1 and Angle 2 are complementary angles. The measure of Angle 1 is 66 degrees. The measure of Angle 2 is 2x degrees. Find the value of x.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles add up to 90°

∠1 + ∠2 = 90°

66 + 2x = 90°

        2x = 90° - 66°

        2x = 24°

           x = 24/2

x = 12°

        ∠2 = 2*12

         ∠2 = 24°

There are ten balls in a bag. Three balls are black and seven balls are white. a One ball is chosen at random and then replaced. Then a second ball is chosen at random. Here are two events. D: the first ball is black S: the second ball is black Are D and S independent? Show your working. ​

Answers

Answer:

Given:

Total balls = 10Black balls = 3White balls = 7

⇒ P(black ball) = 3/10 = 0.3

⇒ P(white ball) = 7/10 = 0.7

If one ball is chosen at random and replaced, the probabilities do not change between the first and second ball.

Let event D = first ball is black

Let event S = second ball is black

P(D) = 0.3

P(S) = 0.3  (since the first ball is replaced)

⇒ P(D ∩ S) = P(D) × P(S)

                   = 0.3 × 0.3

                   = 0.09

For Independent Events we know that:  P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B)

Therefore, as P(D ∩ S) = P(D) × P(S) the events are independent.

Raegan mows two lawns, The first lawn is 5 meters long and 4 meters wide. The area of the second lawn is 2 times as big but has the same width as the first, what is the length of the second lawn

Answers

By solving a simple linear equation, we conclude that the length of the second lawn is 10 meters.

What is the length of the second lawn?

We know that one of the lawns is 5 meters long and 4 meters wide, then its area is:

A = 4m*5m = 20m^2

The other is two times as big, so its area is 40m^2 and has the same width as the first one (4 meters), so if we define the length as L we can write:

40m^2 = 4m*L

Solving for L we get:

(40 m^2)/4m = L = 10m

The length is 10 meters.

Suppose a polynomial of degree 4 with rational coefficients has the given numbers as zeros. Find the other zero
-2, square root 5, 10/3

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The root is

-sqr root of 5.

First, we put these roots in the forn of

[tex](x - a)[/tex]

where a is the root

So we have

[tex](x - ( - 2))(x - \sqrt{5} )(x - \frac{10}{3} )[/tex]

[tex](x + 2)(x - \sqrt{5} )(3x - 10)[/tex]

[tex](3 {x}^{2} - 4x - 20)(x - \sqrt{5} )[/tex]

To get rid of that square root, let have another root that js the conjugate posive root of 5.

[tex](3 {x}^{2} - 4x - 20)(x - \sqrt{5} )(x + \sqrt{5} )[/tex]

[tex](3 {x}^{2} - 4x - 20)(x {}^{2} + 5)[/tex]

Which will gives us a rational coeffeicent of degree 4.

Why we didn't do

[tex](x - \sqrt{5} )[/tex]

?

Because

[tex](x - \sqrt{5} ) {}^{2} = {x}^{2} - 2 \sqrt{5} + 5[/tex]

If we foiled out we will still have a irrational coeffceint.

Every time Martina orders Chinese food, she gets egg drop soup. So, she decides to learn how to make it herself. Her recipe calls for 8 cups of broth, but she can only find 32-fluid-ounce cartons at the store. How many cartons should she buy?
cartons

Answers

Answer:

2 cartons

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey! To start, we need to determine what we already know, Martine needs 8 cups worth of broth, but can only find 32-fluid ounce cartons.

Next, we need to find what we need to know, how many fluid ounces are in a cup? There are 8 fluid ounces in 1 cup!

Now, all we need to do is convert our cups to be able to find out how many cartons we need! So, to do this, we are going to multiply our number of cups by the number of fluid ounces in just 1 cup (so 8!).

8 cups x 8 fluid ounces (per 1 cup) = 64 fluid ounces

So! Martina needs 64 fluid ounces of broth to be able to create her recipe!

But, we aren't finished just yet, as we need to find how many cartons Martina needs! Like we did before, we know that there a 32 fluid ounces in 1 carton so if we have 64 fluid ounces in the recipe, all we need to do is divide 64 by 32 to find out how many cartons we need!

64 fluid ounces (8 cups worth) ÷ 32 fluid ounces (per carton) = 2 cartons

Melina needs to buy 2 cartons of broth to be able to complete her recipe.

Centuries ago, countries sponsored explorers to set sail for parts unknown and return with tales of new lands. These explorations led the Europeans to discover North America. The ocean journey from England, France, or Spain to North America was 3,000 miles of unknown dangers, but it led to discoveries. Explorers made these treacherous voyages for three main reasons: religion, wealth, and competition. These voyages of discovery began in the eleventh century.Historical records indicate that Leif Eriksson, a Viking explorer, was the first man to reach North America around 1000. Leif is credited with landing along the coastline of present-day Newfoundland. A Viking settlement was established and occupied for several years before Eriksson left to return to his homeland. He died around 1020.Much later, Christopher Columbus left his homeland in 1492 to seek wealth in the form of trade items. The Italian explorer was destined for China but erred in direction and arrived on Watling's Island in the Bahamas. It was a long and dangerous journey. Upon arrival, Columbus dedicated the newly discovered land to the Spanish King and Queen of Aragon. Then, Columbus made three more voyages to North America in 1493, 1498, and 1502. To the very end, Christopher Columbus was adamant that he discovered a trade route to China. He denied ever being to North America.Credited with sailing around the southern tip of Florida, Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon had several adventures in the New World. His journey around Florida occurred in 1513. At the time, he thought Florida was an island. When he returned to Florida in 1521, he was wounded by a poisoned arrow, which ultimately ended his life.Afterward, Hernando De Soto, a Spanish adventurer, left to explore present-day Florida in 1538.
