One yard of a ribbon costs 3 1/2 dollars. How much should one pay for: 5/8 yards?

Answers

Answer 1

The one should pay [tex]2\frac{3}{16}[/tex] dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise how to multiply a mixed number by a proper fraction

Change the mixed number to improper fraction by multiplying the whole number by the denominator and ad the the product to the numerator and put the sum over the denominator ( [tex]a\frac{b}{c}=\frac{ac+b}{c}[/tex] )Multiply the two numerators and multiply the two denominators

∵ One yard of a ribbon costs [tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex] dollars

∵ We need to find the cost of [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] yards

- Multiply the cost of 1 yard by [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

∵ [tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3(2)+1}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6+1}{2}[/tex]

∴ [tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex]

∵ The cost = [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

∴ The cost = [tex]\frac{7(5)}{2(8)}[/tex]

∴ The cost = [tex]\frac{35}{16}[/tex]

Change the improper fraction to a mixed number

∵ 35 ÷ 16 = 2 and remainder 3 ⇒ (16 × 2 = 32)

∴ [tex]\frac{35}{16}[/tex] = [tex]2\frac{3}{16}[/tex]

∴ The cost = [tex]2\frac{3}{16}[/tex] dollars

The one should pay [tex]2\frac{3}{16}[/tex] dollars

Find the distance from the point (-6,8) to the line y=-3x+10. Round distance to nearest hundredths.

Answers

Final answer:

The distance from the point (-6,8) to the line y=-3x+10 is calculated using the distance formula which yields a value of approximately 6.32, when rounded to the nearest hundredths.

Explanation:

The subject of this question is mathematics, specifically it pertains to finding the distance between a point and a line. The distance between a point (x1, y1) and a line ax + by + c = 0 can be calculated using the formula: distance = |ax1 + by1 + c|/sqrt(a²+b²). In your case, the given point is (-6,8) and the line is y = -3x + 10, which can be rewritten as 3x + y - 10 = 0. Therefore, a = 3, b = 1, c = -10, x1 = -6, and y1 = 8.

Substituting these values into the distance formula: distance = |3*(-6) + 1*(8) - 10|/sqrt((3)² + (1)²) = |-18 + 8 - 10|/sqrt(10) = |-20|/sqrt(10) = 20/sqrt(10) = 6.32, rounded to the nearest hundredths.

D. |7.5-(-3.5)|

Answers

Answer:

Option A does not give the right expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

On the number line if there are two points P(a) and Q(b) given by coordinates a and b, then the distance between those two points will be given by  

d = |a - b| ......... (1)

which is independent of the position of the points.

Therefore, if point A is at - 3.5 and point B is at 7.5, then the distance between point A and point B will be given by  |7.5+3.5| or |- 3.5-7.5| or |7.5-(-3.5)|, but not by  |7.4-3.5|.

Hence, option A does not give the right expression. (Answer)

SELECT EACH CORRECT ANSWER

Answers

The probability of drawing two green marbles, with replacement is [tex]\frac{9}{25}[/tex]

Solution:

Given that There are 4 red and 6 green marbles in a jar

To find: probability of drawing two green marbles, with replacement

The probability of an event is given as:

[tex]\text {probability }=\frac{\text { number of favourable outcomes }}{\text { total number of possible outcomes }}[/tex]

Here total number of possible outcomes = 4 red + 6 green marbles = 10

Favourable outcome is drawing two green marbles with replacement

So favourable outcome = 6

So probabilty of choosing green marble:

[tex]probability = \frac{6}{10} = \frac{3}{5}[/tex]

Now given that with replacement, so we get

[tex]\text { probability }=\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{3}{5}=\frac{9}{25}[/tex]

Thus probability is [tex]\frac{9}{25}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

For Tammi it is 6% interest Rate.

For Gloria it is 6 Years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tammi:

Principal = $520

Time = 5 Years

Interest = $156

Interest Rate = Interest / (Principal x Time)

Interest Rate = $156 / ($520 x 5)

Interest Rate = $156 / $2,600

Interest Rate = 0.06

Hence Interest Rate is 6%

Gloria:

Principal = $500

Interest Rate = 7.5%

Interest = $225

Time = Interest / (Principal x Interest Rate)

Time = $225 / ($500 x 0.075)

Time = $225 / $37.5

Time = 6 Years

Hence it will take 6 Years

Answers

Answer:

Part 1) [tex]-\sqrt{15}[/tex]

Part 2) [tex]x=\frac{b+ac}{2c-ab}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we know that

To put factor back into the square root, we have to put squared value

we have

[tex]-5\sqrt{0.6}[/tex]

Remember that

[tex]5=\sqrt{5^2}[/tex]

substitute in the expression above

[tex]-5\sqrt{0.6}=-\sqrt{(5^2)(0.6)}=-\sqrt{25*0.6}=-\sqrt{15}[/tex]

Part 2) we have

An advertisement for the state fair will be painted on one of four silos along the highway into town. The silos are in the shape of cylinders. Only the lateral area of the silo will be painted, not the top and bottom. If it costs $1.20 per square foot to paint the sides of the silo, which silo will cost the least to paint?
Recall the formula LA=2 pi rh.
A. Silo A
B. Silo B
C. Silo C
D. Silo D

Answers

Answer: Silo D

===============================================

How I got that answer:

r = radius

h = height

LA = lateral surface area of cylinder

LA = 2*pi*r*h

Let's find the lateral surface area of each silo. The smallest lateral surface area will lead to the lowest total cost.

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

Silo A

LA = 2*pi*r*h

LA = 2*pi*6*60

LA = 720pi

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

Silo B

LA = 2*pi*r*h

LA = 2*pi*8*50

LA = 800pi

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

Silo C

LA = 2*pi*r*h

LA = 2*pi*10*34

LA = 680pi

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

Silo D

LA = 2*pi*r*h

LA = 2*pi*12*20

LA = 480pi

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

If we ignore the "pi" terms for each of the four answers above, we see that 480 is the smallest value. Silo D has the smallest lateral surface area at 480pi square feet.

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

Side note: to determine the total cost, you multiply the surface area by the cost per square foot ($1.20)

For example, the total cost to paint silo D is

cost = (surface area)*(price per square foot)

cost = (480*pi)*(1.20)

cost = 1809.557

cost = 1809.56

This section is optional as your teacher isnt requiring you to find the actual costs, but rather just the silo with the least amount of area. You could go the longer route to find each surface area, compute the total cost, and then compare the total costs. You should find that silo D's cost is the lowest.

Let X and Y be the following sets: X={0,12,23} Y={3,12,15} Which of the following is the set X \ Y?

Please can you show working out if possible

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

X={0,12,23}

Y={3,12,15}  

X \ Y = { 0 , 23}

X/Y means the element should be only in X. We have remove the element in X if it is in Y

In this 0 and 23 is only in X

12 is X and Y. So it wont come in X/Y

Final answer:

The set X \ Y represents the difference of two sets, indicating all the elements that are in set X but not in set Y. For X={0, 12, 23} and Y={3, 12, 15}, the elements that are in X but not in Y are '0' and '23', so X \ Y = {0, 23}.

Explanation:

In set theory, the notation X \ Y represents the difference of two sets. This indicates all the elements that are in set X but not in set Y. In this case:

X={0, 12, 23}, Y={3, 12, 15}

So the elements that are in X but not in Y are '0' and '23'.

Therefore, X \ Y = {0, 23}.

B ) The price that store paid for player is $256

C ) The difference between discount price and price paid by store is $128

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

A ) The sale price of music player = $128

The music player is marked down by [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] of original price

Let The original price = $x

Now, According to question

[tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] of original price = $128

i.e [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] × $x = $128

Or, x = 128 × 4

∴ x = $512

So, The Original price of music player before it was marked down by  [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]  is $512

B ) The music player is marked up by [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] before it was placed on sales floor .

Let The price that store paid for player = $y

Now, According to question

∵ The original price of player = $512

So, The price that store paid for player = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]  × original price of player

i.e y =  [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]  × $512

Or , y = $256

So,The price that store paid for player = $256

C ) Let The difference between discount price and price paid by store = $z

So, According to question

z = y - discount price

Or , z = $256 - $128

∴  z = $128

So, The difference = $128

Hence, A ) The Original price of music player before it was marked down by  [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]  is $512

B ) The price that store paid for player is $256

C ) The difference between discount price and price paid by store is $128

the local music activities coordinator sold 300 tickets to the orchestra concert. student tickets were $4 and the adult tickets were $6 if the total sales were $1600 how many student tickets were sold

Answers

There were 100 student tickets sold

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

The local music activities coordinator sold 300 tickets to the orchestra concertStudent tickets were $4The adult tickets were $6The total sales were $1600

We need to find how many student tickets were sold

Assume that the number of student tickets is x and the number of adult tickets is y

∵ The number of student tickets is x

∵ The number of adult tickets is y

∵ They sold 300 tickets

x + y = 300 ⇒ (1)

∵ The price of the student ticket = $4

∵ The price of the adult ticket = $6

∵ The total sales = $1600

- Add the prices of the students tickets and the adult tickets

  and equate the sum by the total sales

4x + 6y = 1600 ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equation to solve it

Multiply equation (1) by -6 to eliminate y

-6x - 6y = -1800 ⇒ (3)

- Add equations (2) and (3)

∴ -2x = -200

- Divide both sides by -2

x = 100

There were 100 student tickets sold

Sharon purchased a used car for $24,600. The car depreciates exponentially by 8% per
much will the car be worth after 5 years? Round your answer to the nearest penny.

Answers

Answer:

The value of car after 5 years of exponentially depreciation is $16,213.36  

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial amount of the car = i = $24,600

The depreciates rate of interest applied = r = 8%

Let The value of car after n years = A  

The number of years = n = 5 years

Now,According to question

The value of car after n years = initial price of car  × [tex](1-\dfrac{\textrm rate}{100})^{\textrm time}[/tex]

Or, The value of car after 5 years = i × [tex](1-\dfrac{\textrm r}{100})^{\textrm n}[/tex]

Or, $A = $24,600 × [tex](1-\dfrac{\textrm 8}{100})^{\textrm 5}[/tex]

Or, $A = $24,600 × [tex](0.92)^{5}[/tex]

Or, $A = $24,600 × 0.65908

Or, $A = $16,213.36

So, The value of car after 5 years = A = $16,213.36

Hence , The value of car after 5 years of exponentially depreciation is $16,213.36  . Answer

The least common denominator will be:

3a², where a ≠ 0

3a²/a² = 3 and 3a²/3a = a

Trevor Has $178 in his bank account at the start of the week. He makes one withdrawal during the week. At the end of the week, Trevor Gets a notice from the bank that he has a negative balance of -$62. Write and solve an equation to determine how much money Trevor Took out in his withdrawal.

the answer that is correct and shows work gets the crown! good luck and happy new year!

Answers

Answer:

Equation: 178 - x = - 62

Explanation:

Start of the wee: 178

One withdrawal: x

End of the week: -62

178 - x = -62

Simplify both sides of equation

178−x=−62

178+−x=−62

−x+178=−62

Subtract 178 from both sides

−x+178−178=−62−178

−x=−240

Divide both sides by -1

-x / -1 = -240 / -1

x=240

Trevor withdrew $240 from his bank account. This was calculated by setting up an equation with his initial positive balance and final negative balance, and solving for the withdrawal amount.

To determine how much money Trevor withdrew from his bank account, we can set up an equation representing the transactions in his account. Let x represent the amount of money withdrawn. We start with Trevor's initial balance, subtract the withdrawal, and set that equal to his final negative balance:

Initial balance - Withdrawal = Final balance

178 - x = -62

To solve for x, we add x to both sides to get the withdrawal amount on its own and then add 62 to both sides to isolate x:

178 - x + x = -62 + x

178 = x - 62

178 + 62 = x

240 = x

So, Trevor withdrew $240 from his bank account.

if an=5n-3 find the common difference​

Answers

Answer:

d = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference d of an arithmetic sequence is

d = a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ = [tex]a_{n}[/tex] - [tex]a_{n-1}[/tex]

Given

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = 5n - 3

Generate the first 2 terms of the sequence by substituting n = 1, n = 2

a₁ = 5(1) - 3 = 5 - 3 = 2

a₂ = 5(2) - 3 = 10 - 3 = 7

d = 7 - 2 = 5
