Answer:

9/16

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>║Given║:</em></u>

<em>Veronica needs to buy 1 3/4 pounds of cheese.</em>

<em> When the clerk places some cheese in a container and weighs it, the scale shows 1 1/4 pounds. </em>

<em>The container weighs 1/16 pound. </em>

<em />

<u><em>║To Solve║:</em></u>

<em>How many more pounds of cheese should be added to the scale to get the amount that veronica needs? Explain how you solved the problem</em>

<em />

<u><em>║Solving║:</em></u>

<em>Since, the amount of cubed cheese that Veronica wants to buy = 1 3/4 pounds then turn it into improper fractions.</em>

<em>Which:</em>

<em>  1 3/4                                                                                      = 7/8 pounds</em>

<em />

<em>We also knows that:</em>

<em />

<em>Weight of the container in which Mr. Sand places the cube = 1/16 pounds</em>

<em>Weight of the cubed cheese and container together = 1 1/4 pounds</em>

<em>                Turn into improper fraction.</em>

<em>Which:</em>

<em>1 1/4                                                                    = 5/4 pounds</em>

<em />

<em>Thus,</em>

<em>The amount of cubed cheese placed by Mr. Sands = (5/4 - 1/16) pounds</em>

<em>                                                                            = (20 - 1)/16 pounds</em>

<em>                                                                            = 19/16 pounds</em>

<em>Hence,</em>

<em>The quantity of more cheese that Mr.Sands need to add to the scale is:</em>

<em>(7/4 - 19/16) pounds</em>

<em> = (28 - 19)/16 pounds</em>

<em> = 9/16 pounds.</em>

<em />

<em>Base on the solving above we can conclude that need  to add 9/16 pounds of cubed cheese to fullfil the order placed by Veronica.</em>

Simplify the rational expression. State any restrictions on the variable. t^2-4t-32/t-8
Leno4ka [110]

1. Factor the expression t^2-4t-32:

t^2-4t-32=(t-8)(t+4).

2. Since t-8 is placed in the denominator of the given expression, then t\neq 8.

3. Now the expression can be simplified:

\dfrac{t^2-4t-32}{t-8}=\dfrac{(t-8)(t+4)}{t-8}=t+4.

Draw a histogram for the intervals 17-19, 20-22, 23-25, and 26-28 using the following data: 19, 19, 27, 20, 27, 26, 25, 26, 18,
snow_lady [41]

Intervals are given to us

19, 19, 27, 20, 27, 26, 25, 26, 18, 27, 20, 24, 19, 21, 27, 23, 21, 17, 22, 22

From the given data we need to create a frequency table

From 17 - 19 there are 5 numbers. they are 19,19,19, 18, 17

From 20 -22 there are 6 numbers . they are 20, 20, 21, 21, 22, 22

From 23 - 25 there are 3 numbers. they are 23, 24, 25

From 26 to 28 there are 6 numbers . they are 27, 27, 26, 26, 27, 27

Histogram is attached below

1. What is the median of the data set?
Tamiku [17]

Answer: 1. 7

2. 100

3. 193.8

4. 0.8

5. 90.6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Given the data  9,3,10,12,4,5,12,2

For finding the median we arrange it in ascending order

2,3,4,5,9, 10,12,12

Since the no of observations are even

∴ median =\frac{n/2 th term + (n/2 + 1)th term}{2}

= \frac{5+9}{2}

=\frac{14}{2}

=7

i.e. Median =7

2. Given the data

23, 95,100,23,100,100

Since the no 100 is repeated thrice i.e. the maximum no of times

∴ Mode=100

3.

Given the data

108, 305,252,113, 191

Mean=\frac{108+305+252+113+191}{5}

=\frac{969}{5}

=193.8

4. Money spent in the first week

= $11.52, $6.48, $5.99, $14.00, and $9.50

Total for the first week

=11.52+6.48+5.99+14.00+9.50

=$47.49

Now she spent $4 more in the second week

i.e.$47.49+4

=51.49$

Increase in mean =\frac{4}{5}

=0.8

5.

Given

2 students scored 100 each

9 students scored 95 each

10 students scored 90 each

3 students scored 80 each

1 student scored 70

Total score of students =2\times100+ 9\times 95+10\times90+3\times80+70\times1

=2265

The average score

=\frac{2265}{25}

=90.6
