Answer:

H. 552

Step-by-step explanation:

Circle graph information:

Milk and eggs = x%
Fruits and vegetables = 38%
Cereals = 10%
Meat and fish = 10%
Sugar = 8%
Fats and oils = 4%

Total consumption = 1840 pounds per person

First, calculate the percentage of milk and eggs (the value of x).

Total percentages = 100%

⇒ x + 38 + 10 + 10 + 8 + 4 = 100

⇒ x + 70 = 100

⇒ x = 30

Therefore, 30% of food consumption is milk and eggs.

To calculate the number of pounds of milk and eggs the average American consumes each year, simply find 30% of the total consumption:

= 30% of 1840

= 30% × 1840

$=\sf \dfrac{30}{100} \times 1840$

= 552

Therefore, the average American consumes 552 pounds of milk and eggs each year.

Answer:

Milk and Eggs = 552

Step-by-step explanation:

First add all of the other percentages together. (70%), 100%-70%=30%. 30% of 1840 = 552.

A bag contains 3 red, 6 blue, 5 purple, and 2 orange marbles. One marble is selected at random. What is the probability that the

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

$P(blue)=37.5\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

-Probability is the likelihood of an event occurring.

-The total number of events is:

$Total=3+6+5+2\\\\=16$

-The total number of blue events is:

$Blue=6$

#Probability of a blue is thus calculated as:

$P(Blue)=\frac{Blue}{Total}\\\\=\frac{6}{16}\\\\=0.375\\\\=37.5\%$

Hence, the probability of choosing a blue marble at random is 37.5%

Which equation represents a line parallel to the line shown on the graph? On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (negative 6

ELEN [110]

Answer:

$\boxed{ \mathrm{y = \ negative \ 3 x + 3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates are (-6,0) and (-8,6)

<u><em>Finding slope of the line</em></u>

Slope = $\frac{rise}{run} = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Slope = $\frac{6-0}{-8+6}$

Slope = $\frac{6}{-2}$

Slope = -3

Parallel lines have equal slopes.

So, the line which is parallel to this line is y = negative 3 x + 3

Solve the following equation by factoring:9x^2-3x-2=0

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The two roots of the quadratic equation are

$x_1= - \frac{1}{3} \text{ and } x_2= \frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Original quadratic equation is $9x^{2}-3x-2=0$

Divide both sides by 9:

$x^{2} - \frac{x}{3} - \frac{2}{9}=0$

Add $\frac{2}{9}$ to both sides to get rid of the constant on the LHS

$x^{2} - \frac{x}{3} - \frac{2}{9}+\frac{2}{9}=\frac{2}{9}$ ==> $x^{2} - \frac{x}{3}=\frac{2}{9}$

Add $\frac{1}{36}$ to both sides

$x^{2} - \frac{x}{3}+\frac{1}{36}=\frac{2}{9} +\frac{1}{36}$

This simplifies to

$x^{2} - \frac{x}{3}+\frac{1}{36}=\frac{1}{4}$

Noting that (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²

If we set a = x and b = $\frac{1}{6}\right)$ we can see that

$\left(x - \frac{1}{6}\right)^2$ = $x^2 - 2.x. (-\frac{1}{6}) + \frac{1}{36} = x^{2} - \frac{x}{3}+\frac{1}{36}$

$\left(x - \frac{1}{6}\right)^2=\frac{1}{4}$

Taking square roots on both sides

$\left(x - \frac{1}{6}\right)^2= \pm\frac{1}{4}$

So the two roots or solutions of the equation are

$x - \frac{1}{6}=-\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}$ and $x - \frac{1}{6}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}$

$\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} = \frac{1}{2}$

So the two roots are

$x_1=\frac{1}{6} - \frac{1}{2} = -\frac{1}{3}$

and

$x_2=\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{3}$

The digit in the tens place of a two digit number is three times that in the units place. If the digits are reversed the new num

S_A_V [24]

We could do it with algebra. But we can also do it the long way, which is
shorter than the algebraic way.

The digit in the tens place is 3 times the digit in the units place.
So the number MUST be
31, or
62, or
93 .
It can't be anything else.

Now here they are again, with the reverse of each one:

31 . . . 13 The new number is 18 less.
62 . . . 26 The new number is 36 less.
93 . . . 39 The new number is 54 less.

Obviously, the original number is 62.
