Using proportions, it is found that the average waste produced by each plant on a monthly basis is of 0.8 tons per month.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, there is a period of 60 x 12 = 720 months, with 104 plants, and 60,000 tons of waste were produced, hence the average is given by:

A = 60000/(720 x 104) = 0.8 tons per month.

Solve 5x^2+2x=1 using either factoring, square root method, completing the square or quadratic formula.
wolverine [178]

Answer:

x = -1 ± √6 / 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve 5x^{2} + 2x = 1

move 1 to the left side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides.

5x^{2} + 2x - 1 = 0

Use the quadratic formula to find the solutions.

-b± \sqrt{b^2 - 4 (ac)}/ 2a

Substitute the values a = 5 , b = 2, and c = -1 into the quadratic formula and solve for x

-2±\sqrt{2^2 - 4(5 - 1)}/ 2 ⋅ 5

Simplify.

x = -2 ± 2 \sqrt{6}/ 10

x = -1 ± \sqrt{6}/ 5

Exact Form:

x = -1 ± \sqrt{6}/ 5

An engineer measures the peak current (in microamps) when a solution containing an amount of nickel (in parts per 106 ) is added
dangina [55]

Answer:

B. decrease the intercept, increase the slope

Step-by-step explanation:

A slope indicates the steepness of a line while the intercept points the location where it intercepts its axis. The linear relationship between can be defined using the intercept and the slope. Both concepts are used to estimate the average range of change. Since we are trying to add a peak current value of 0.38 which is lesser than the average, the intercept of the graph would therefore decrease and the slope increase.

Lilly and Maggie decorated their windows with twinkle lights. Maggie used 51 more twinkle lights than Lilly. Fill in the box wit
nadya68 [22]
We know that
m-------------------- > <span>the amount of twinkle lights Maggie used
l--------------------- >  </span><span>the amount of twinkle lights Lilly used
l=70
m=51+l
therefore
m=51+70=121
m=121

the answer is 121 (</span>amount of twinkle lights Maggie used)

Jenna bought two more pairs of jeans. If both of them are blue, what percentage of her jeans is blue now? If both of them are no
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
What you must keep in mind is that there are 4 jeans in total, which represents 100%
 When she bought two jeans, we have the following information:
 If both of them are blue:
 50% of their jeans is blue now, that is:
 x = (50/100) * 4 = 2
 2 jeans are blue.
 This means that she did NOT have 2 blue jeans before.
 Thus:
 If they are not blue: 
 We have 4 jeans that are not blue.
 Then, 0% of her jeans is blue now
 answer:
 0% percentage of her jeans is blue now
