The quotient of the product of 32 and 15 and the difference of 17 and 9 as a numerical expression?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Pani-rosa [81]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

  (32×15)/(17 -9)

Step-by-step explanation:

The term "quotient" refers to the result of division. The term "product" refers to the result of multiplication. The term "difference" refers to the result of subtraction.

__

Here, we want the quotient of a product and a difference. This means the product will be divided by the difference. The product is the product of 32 and 15, so its value is (32×15). The difference is the difference of 17 and 9, so its value is (17 -9).

Then the desired numerical expression is ...

  \boxed{\dfrac{32\times15}{17-9}}

______

<em>Additional comment</em>

The result of evaluating this expression is ...

  (32×15)/(17 -9) = 480/8 = 60

__

For quotients and differences, the order of the operands matters. Our convention is that "the quotient of A and B" means "A/B", and "the difference of A and B" means "A-B".

In general English usage (not specific to a formal math problem), the term "difference" often is used to mean "the positive difference." That is, the wording "the difference between 3 and 4" would generally refer to the value 1 (not -1).

Select steps that could be used to solve the equation 1 + 3x = -x + 4.
Olegator [25]

Answer:

A, C & D

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 1 + 3x = -x + 4  {subtract 1}

  1 + 3x -1 = -x + 4 - 1

       3x     = -x + 3         {add x}

     3x + x = -x + 3 + x

        4x    = 3       {Divide by 4}

       4x/x = 3/4

x = 3/4

C) 1 + 3x = -x +4            {Add x}

  1+ 3x + x = - x +4 + x      

   1 + 4x  = 4    {subtract 1}

        4x = 4 - 1

        4x = 3   {Divide by 4}

D) 1 + 3x = -x + 4        { Subtract 3x}

         1    = -x + 4 -3x

         1 = -4x + 4          Subtract 4}

      1 - 4 = -4x

        -3 = -4x              {Divide by -4}

       -3/-4 = x

x = 3/4  

          x = 3/4

A repair company’s charge for repairing a certain type of copy machine fits the model y = 47.38 + 0.617x where y is the number o
Tems11 [23]

Answer: 36.66min

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 47.38 + 0.617x

where y is the number of dollars

x is the number of minutes on the job

Given a value of y = $70, then

We substitute y = $70 in the equation.

70 = 47.38 + 0.617x

22.62 = 0.617x

X = 22.62/0.617 = 36.66min

a fox a coyote and a wolf weigh a total of 120 pounds the ratio of the weight of fox to the weight of coyote is 3:8 the weight o
ira [324]
There is not enough information to calculate this. 

<span>Knowing the weight ratio of the fox to coyote as 3:8 in no way allows you to know the respective ratio of the wolf. To know the weight of the wolf would require knowing its ratio value, then the weights of all 3 is an easy calculation. </span>
<span>Example - 3:8:15 (f:c:w) is a plausible ratio based upon real-world weight averages for certain species/subspecies of the three. </span>
<span>- knowing the values of the 3 terms as 3:8:15 gives a total of 3+8+15 = 26 ratio values </span>
<span>- you then simply divide the total weight by this ratio value total; 120/26 = 4.62 </span>
<span>- so each ratio value is 4.62 units of weight*** </span>
<span>- now, simply calculate the weight of each canid by multiplying its ratio value by the unit of weight... </span>
<span>fox; 3 x 4.62 = 13.86 </span>
<span>coyote; 8 x 4.62 = 36.96 </span>
<span>wolf; 15 x 4.62 = 69.3 </span>
<span>Validate the ratios by adding the weights together (we should get 120) 13.86 + 36.96 + 69.3 = 120.12 </span>
<span>The total is slightly out because that 4.62 figure was a rounding up. </span>

<span>Now, the thing is, there is nothing given that allows us to know exactly what ratio value the wolf should be, I chose 15 myself because that is a real-world plausible value when compared to 3:8 for the other 2. Changing it to 16, say, means that there are now 27 ratio values total giving a ratio value of 120/27 = 4.44 obviously changing the weights of all 3.</span>
