375 x 22 What is the answer and how do we get it

Mrs. McClure's famous peanut butter cookies call for 1 cup of peanut butter for every 1 2 of a cup of oil. Today, she wants to m

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Amount of butter need for 1 cup of oil = 2 cup of butter

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount of butter need for 1/2 cup of oil = 1 cup

Find:

Amount of butter need for 1 cup of oil

Computation:

Amount of butter need for 1/2 cup of oil = 1 cup

1 cup butter = 1/2 cup oil

So,

Amount of butter need for 1 cup of oil = 1 / [1/2]

Amount of butter need for 1 cup of oil = 1 / [0.5]

Amount of butter need for 1 cup of oil = 2 cup of butter

67. The line contains the point (4,0) and is parallel to the line defined by 3x = 2y.

olganol [36]

Answer:

$y=\frac{3}{2} x-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

What we need to know:

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$ where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

Parallel lines will always have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

1) Determine the slope of the parallel line

Organize 3x = 2y into slope-intercept form. Why? So we can easily identify the slope, m.

$3x = 2y$

Switch the sides

$2y=3x$

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate y

$\frac{2y}{2} = \frac{3}{2} x\\y=\frac{3}{2} x$

Now that this equation is in slope-intercept form, we can easily identify that $\frac{3}{2}$ is in the place of m. Therefore, because parallel lines have the same slope, the parallel line we're solving for now will also have the slope $\frac{3}{2}$ . Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :

$y=\frac{3}{2} x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept

$y=\frac{3}{2} x+b$

Plug in the given point, (4,0)

$0=\frac{3}{2} (4)+b\\0=6+b$

Subtract both sides by 6

$0-6=6+b-6\\-6=b$

Therefore, -6 is the y-intercept of the line. Plug this into $y=\frac{3}{2} x+b$ as b:

$y=\frac{3}{2} x-6$

I hope this helps!

This problem is taken from the delightful book "Problems for Mathematicians, Young and Old" by Paul R. Halmos. Suppose that 681

aleksley [76]

Answer:

680 games

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that 681 tennis players want to play an elimination tournament.

1st round:

One of 681 players, chosen at random, sits out that round and 680 players play. There will be 340 winners plus one player which sits - 341 players for the next round and 340 games

2nd round:

There will be 170 winners plus one player which sits - 171 players for the next round and 170 games

3rd round:

There will be 85 winners plus one player which sits - 86 players for the next round and 85 games

4th round:

There will be 43 winners - 43 players for the next round and 43 games

5th round:

There will be 21 winners plus one player which sits - 22 players for the next round and 21 games

6th round:

There will be 11 winners - 11 players for the next round and 11 games

7th round:

There will be 5 winners plus one player which sits - 6 players for the next round and 5 games

8th round:

There will be 3 winners - 3 players for the next round and 3 games

9th round:

There will be 1 winner plus one player which sits - 2 players for the next round and 1 game

10th round - final:

1 champion and 1 game.

In total,

340 + 170 + 85 + 43 + 21 + 11 + 5 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 680 games

The picture shows a barn door:

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

(D)9 divided by sin 60 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure, using trigonometry

$\frac{BC}{AB}=sin60^{{\circ}}$

Substituting the given values, we get

$\frac{9}{AB}=sin60^{{\circ}}$

$\frac{9}{sin60^{\circ}}=AB$

$AB=\frac{9{\times}2}{\sqrt{3}}$

$AB=\frac{18}{\sqrt{3}}$

$AB=10.4 feet$

Thus, The length of the support AB is 9 divided by sin 60 degrees.

Decide whether the Experiment is a Binomial Experiment. If it is not, explain why:

devlian [24]

Answer:

Experiment 1 and 3 are clear binomial experiments.

Experiment 2 needs tweaking to be a binomial experiment.

Check Explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

A binomial experiment is one in which

1) The probability of success doesn't change with every run or number of trials.

2) It usually consists of a fixed number of runs/trials with only two possible outcomes, a success or a failure.

3) The outcome of each trial/run of a binomial experiment is independent of one another.

Checking each of the experiments one at a time

- You observe the gender of the next 850 babies born at a local hospital. The random variable represents the number of boys.

For this experiment,

1) The probability of success doesn't change with every run or number of trials as it is a 50% chance that each child examined is a boy.

2) It consists of a fixed number of runs (850) with only two possible outcomes, success (if it's a boy) and failure (if it's a girl).

3) The probability of each trial being a boy is independent from all the other trials.

Hence, this experiment is a binomial experiment.

- You draw a marble 350 times from a bag with three colors of marbles. The random variable represents the color of marble that is drawn.

For this experiment,

1) If the marbles aren't being replaced after each draw, the probability of success, that is, picking a particular marble colour changes from trial to trial.

2) Although, it consist of a fixed number of runs/trials, there are more than two possible outcomes with 3 types of colours. Unless the experiment focuses on one colour and treats the other two colours as 'others', this condition too isn't satisfied.

3) Without replacement, the probability of success (picking a particular marble colour) in one trial isn't independent of the other trials.

This is not a binomial experiment as it doesn't satisfy all the required conditions to be one.

- Testing a cough suppressant using 820 people to determine if it is effective. The random variable represents the number of people who find the cough suppressant to be effective.

1) The probability of success doesn't change with every run or number of trials as it is the same chance that each person finds the cough suppressant to be effective.

2) It consists of a fixed number of runs (820) with only two possible outcomes, success (cough suppressant is effective) and failure (cough suppressant isn't effective).

3) The probability of each trial being a person that finds the cough suppressant to be effective, is independent from all the other trials.

Hence, this experiment is a binomial experiment.

Hope this Helps!!!
