The answer is 48.

<span>Out of 50 people, 4 had a mispriced item: 50 people - 4 mispriced
Out of 600 people, x will have a mispriced item: 600 people - x

Make a proportion:
50 : 4  = 600 : x
50 * x = 4 * 600
50x = 2400
x = 2400 / 50
x = 48</span>

three sets of the sum of a number and four are added to the sum of seven times the same number and thirteen
almond37 [142]

The algebraic expression for given statement is: 10x + 25 or 3(x + 4) + (7x + 13)

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given the statement:

Three sets of a sum of a number and four are added to the sum of seven times the same number and thirteen

Let us first understand the given statement,

Let the number be "x"

" sum of a number and four" means x + 4

"Three sets of a sum of a number and four" translated to 3(x + 4)

"sum of seven times the same number and thirteen" means 7x + 13

<em><u>Thus the algebraic expression for given statement is:</u></em>

3(x+4)+(7x + 13)

<em><u>Using distributive property in above expression</u></em>

a(b+c) = ab + bc

Therefore,

3(x+4)+(7x + 13) = 3x + 12 + 7x + 13

<em><u>Combine the like terms</u></em>

3(x+4)+(7x + 13) = 10x+25

Thus the required expression for given statement is: 10x + 25 or 3(x + 4) + (7x + 13)

What is the measure of an angle whose sine is√3/2 ? 60 45 30
dem82 [27]
ANSWER

The required angle is
60 \degree

EXPLANATION

Let the angle whose sine is
\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}
be
x \degree

Then

\sin(x \degree)  =  \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}


We take the inverse sign of both sides to obtain,

x =  \sin ^{ - 1} ( \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} )

We use our scientific calculator to evaluate and obtain,

x = 60 \degree

Drag expressions to complete each equation.
Ainat [17]
A^-b is the same as 1/a^b.

When there is a negative power, place the number and power over 1.

a^b/a^c = a^(b-c).

c is a negative power, because it is being divided, and is underneath b, which is a positive (and so it stays in the numerator).

a^c/b^c = (a/b)^c

Inside this one, the power of c is distributed to all numbers inside the parenthesis, in this case a and b.


hope this helps
