Answer:

91 Boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to make an inequality. The girls need to sell $500 worth of chocolate at $5.50 each, so

5.50 × y = 500 ------ y = total she needs to sell

Alrighty, we need to find out how many she needs to sell. So let's do the opposite of multiplication.

5.50 ÷ 5.50 × y = 500 ÷ 5.50

y = 90.1 ~ 90

Now we just slot in y now that we know the value...

5.50 × (90) = 500

500 = 500 ✔

That checks out!

Answer:

91 boxes

hope it helps

Step-by-step explanation:

you will divide $500.00 by $5.50 to find you how many cookies need to be sold

500 ÷ 5.50 = 90.9

so they need to sell about 91 boxes in order meet their goal

To check your work you can multiply

5.50 x 91 = $500.50

What is 63 and 70 as a ratio in math

melomori [17]

Answer:

9 : 10

Step-by-step explanation:

First the ratio will be 63 : 70

Now, we have to simplify! The GCF (greatest common factor) is 7, so let's divide both numbers by 7 to maintain equality.

63/7 = 9

70/7 = 10

9 : 10 is the final answer!

A rectangular jewelry box costs $125 to gold plate. Calculate the cost of gold plating a box which is similar in shape and that

Alja [10]

To determine the amount of gold plating necessary for the similar box, you will use the fact that it is 8 times larger in volume to determine how many times larger the area is. This would be what you will multiply $125 by.

Volume is a three dimensional measurement, so the fact that it is 8 times larger tells us each dimension was 2 times larger (2 x 2 x 2=8).

Area is a two dimensional measurement, so the area would have been 2 x 2 or 4 times larger. This means the price would be 4 times as much.
$125 x 4 = $500.

It will cost $500 to gold plate the similar jewelry box.

One more question on this test guys. please answer as fast as possible. If you do,

GaryK [48]

1. The given rectangular equation is $x=2$ .

We substitute $x=r\cos \theta$ .

$r\cos \theta=2$

Divide through by $\cos \theta$

$r=\frac{2}{\cos \theta}$

$r=2}\sec \theta$

$\boxed{x=2\to r=2\sec \theta}$

2. The given rectangular equation is:

$x^2+y^2=36$

This is the same as:

$x^2+y^2=6^2$

We use the relation $r^2=x^2+y^2$

This implies that:

$r^2=6^2$

$\therefore r=6$

$\boxed{x^2+y^2=36\to r=6}$

3. The given rectangular equation is:

$x^2+y^2=2y$

This is the same as:

We use the relation $r^2=x^2+y^2$ and $y=r\sin \theta$

This implies that:

$r^2=2r\sin \theta$

Divide through by r

$r=2\sin \theta$

$\boxed{x^2+y^2=2y\to r=2\sin \theta}$

4. We have $x=\sqrt{3}y$

We substitute $y=r\sin \theta$ and $x=r\cos \theta$

$r\cos \theta=r\sin \theta\sqrt{3}$

This implies that;

$\tan \theta=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$

$\theta=\frac{\pi}{6}$

$\boxed{x=\sqrt{3}y\to \theta=\frac{\pi}{6}}$

5. We have $x=y$

We substitute $y=r\sin \theta$ and $x=r\cos \theta$

$r\cos \theta=r\sin \theta$

This implies that;

$\tan \theta=1$

$\theta=\frac{\pi}{4}$

$\boxed{x=y\to \theta=\frac{\pi}{4}}$

As a store manger you would like to find out the average time it takes to unload the truck which delivers the merchandise for yo

Georgia [21]

Answer:

The upper boundary of the 95% confidence interval for the average unload time is 264.97 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, but not for the population, so we use the students t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 35 - 1 = 35

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 34 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of $1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.975([tex]t_{975}$ ). So we have T = 2.0322

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 2.0322*30 = 60.97

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 204 + 60.97 = 264.97

The upper boundary of the 95% confidence interval for the average unload time is 264.97 minutes
