Combine all paper clip colors together (3 red+ 5 yellow+ 6 silver) to get 14 paper clips in all.
 The number of red clips are 3.
Since it is asking for ratio of total paper clips to red paperclips, the number of total paperclips goes in the ratio goes first and red paperclips second. 14:3.
This ratio cannot be simplified any further so A is the correct answer

Hope this helps!

In △ABC, point D∈AC
Maslowich
<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • ABDC = 6 in²
  • AABD = 8 in²
  • AABC = 14 in²
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

A diagram can be helpful.

When triangles have the same altitude, their areas are proportional to their base lengths.

The altitude from D to line BC is the same for triangles BDC and EDC. The base lengths of these triangles have the ratio ...

... BC : EC = (1+5) : 5 = 6 : 5

so ABDC will be 6/5 times AEDC.

... ABDC = (6/5)×(5 in²)

... ABDC = 6 in²

_____

The altitude from B to line AC is the same for triangles BDC and BDA, so their areas are proportional to their base lengths. That is ...

... AABD : ABDC = AD : DC = 4 : 3

so AABD will be 4/3 times ABDC.

... AABD = (4/3)×(6 in²)

... AABD = 8 in²

_____

Of course, AABC is the sum of the areas of the triangles that make it up:

... AABC = AABD + ABDC = 8 in² + 6 in²

... AABC = 14 in²

Which of the following is not true when using the confidence interval method for testing a claim about μ when σ is​ unknown? Cho
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

The​ P-value method and the classical method are not equivalent to the confidence interval method in that they may yield different results ( A )

Step-by-step explanation:

The False statement about using the confidence interval method when testing a claim about  μ when  σ is​ unknown is ; The​ P-value method and the classical method are not equivalent to the confidence interval method in that they may yield different results

This is because sometimes the values gotten from the p-value and confidence interval differs and this occurs mostly when the sample size is very small.

A science teacher has a supply of 5% hydrochloric acid and a supply of 65% hydrochloric acid(HC1). How much of each solution sho
Sphinxa [80]
Assume that the amount needed from the 5% solution is x and that the amount needed from the 65% solution is y.

We are given that, the final solution should be 42 ml, this means that:
x + y = 42 ...........> equation I
This can also be written as:
x = 42-y .......> equation II

We are also given that the final concentration should be 45%, this means that:
5% x + 65% y = 45% (x+y)
0.05x + 0.65y = 0.45(x+y)


We have x+y = 42 from equation I, therefore:
0.05x + 0.65y = 0.45(42)
0.05x + 0.65y = 18.9 .........> equation III

Substitute with equation II in equation III as follows:
0.05x + 0.65y = 18.9
0.05(42-y) + 0.65y = 18.9
2.1 - 0.05y + 0.65y = 18.9
0.6y = 18.9 - 2.1
0.6y = 16.8
y = 28 ml

Substitute with y in equation II to get x as follows:
x = 42-y
x = 42 - 28
x = 14 ml

Based on the above calculations:
amount of 5% solution = x = 14 ml
amount of 65% solution = y = 28 ml
The correct choice is:
The teacher will need 14 mL of the 5% solution and 28 mL of the 65% solution.
