15-kilogram ham costs $9/kg. Find the cost per pound. Round to the nearest hundredth

Mathematics

Answer:

$4.08/lb

Step-by-step explanation:

$9/kg × (0.45359237 kg/lb) = $4.08/lb

_____

<em>Comment on conversion factors</em>

The conversion factor is chosen to have a value of 1, that is 0.45359237 kg = 1 lb (by definition). It is also chosen so that when we multiply by it, we cancel the units of kg and leave units of lb.

The thousandth’s place of \$ {\text{4}}{\text{.08233133}}/{\text{lb}} is 2 and the nearest hundredth is \boxed{{\mathbf{\$ 4}}{\mathbf{.08/lb}}}.

Further explanation:  

The problem can be solved by the unit conversion and by the concept of nearest thousand.

Given:

The cost of 15{\text{ -  kilogram ham}} is \$ 9/{\text{kg}}.

Step by step explanation:

Step 1:

First we determine that the number of pounds in one kilogram.

The unit of pound can be written as {\text{lb}} and the unit of kilogram can be written as {\text{kg}}.

The relation between number of pound and the kilograms is 1{\text{ lb}} = 0.45359237.

Step 2:

It is given that the cost of 15{\text{ -  kilogram ham}} is \$ 9/{\text{kg}}.

Now multiply 0.45359237 with \$ 9/kg to obtain the cost per pound as,

\begin{aligned}\$ 9/kg &= \left( {0.45359237 \times 9} \right)\$ /{\text{lb}}\\&= \$ {\text{4}}{\text{.08233133}}/{\text{lb}}\\\end{aligned}  

Therefore, the cost per pound is \$ {\text{4}}{\text{.08233133}}/{\text{lb}}.

Step 3:

Now determine the cost \$ {\text{4}}{\text{.08233133}}/{\text{lb}} to the nearest hundredth.

To round the number to nearest hundredth the following criteria has to be followed.

Round down the number if the thousandth’s place of the given number is 0,1,2,3{\text{ or 4}}.

Round up the number if the thousandth’s place of the given number is 0,1,2,3{\text{ or 4}}.

It can be better explained through an example.

Consider an example 2487.3493{\text{ and 8754}}{\text{.9213}}.

In the number 2487.3493, the thousandth’s place is 9 that we need to round up.

The rounded hundredth number of 2487.3493 is 2487.35.

In the number {\text{8754}}{\text{.9213}}, the thousandth’s place is 1 that we need to round down.

The rounded hundredth number of {\text{8754}}{\text{.9213}} is {\text{8754}}{\text{.920}}.

Similarly in this way the nearest hundredth of \$ {\text{4}}{\text{.08233133}}/{\text{lb}} can be found.

As we can the thousandth’s place of \$ {\text{4}}{\text{.08233133}}/{\text{lb}} is 2 therefore, the nearest hundredth is \$ {\text{4}}{\text{.08}}/{\text{lb}}

In a coffee shop, the average drink is currently $4.50 while the average pastry is $2.25. You've made a total of $5,250 today. W
Kamila [148]

Answer:

4.50x+2.25y=5,250  where x denotes number of drinks and y denotes number of pastries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes number of drinks and y denotes number of pastries.

Cost of the average drink = $4.50

Cost of the average pastry = $2.25

Total amount = $5,250

Therefore,

4.50x+2.25y=5,250

Solve 9x−y=45 for y.
Taya2010 [7]

So to solve for y, we need to get y alone on one side of the equation. So we are going to subtract 9x from both sides of the equation to get:

-y=-9x+45

And since y is negative, we are going to divide both sides by -1 in order to make the y positive:

y=9x-45

The size of the left upper chamber of the heart is one measure of cardiovascular health. When the upper left chamber is enlarged
Temka [501]

Answer:

a) 0.283  or 28.3%

b) 0.130 or 13%

c) 0.4 or 40%

d) 30.6 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

z-score of a single left atrial diameter value of healthy children can be calculated as:

z=\frac{X-M}{s} where

  • X is the left atrial diameter value we are looking for its z-score
  • M is the mean left atrial diameter of healthy children (26.7 mm)
  • s is the standard deviation (4.7 mm)

Then

a) proportion of healthy children who have left atrial diameters less than 24 mm

=P(z<z*) where z* is the z-score of 24 mm

z*=\frac{24-26.7}{4.7} ≈ −0.574

And P(z<−0.574)=0.283

b) proportion of healthy children who have left atrial diameters greater than 32 mm

= P(z>z*) = 1-P(z<z*) where z* is the z-score of 32 mm

z*=\frac{32-26.7}{4.7} ≈ 1.128

1-P(z<1.128)=0.8703=0.130

c) proportion of healthy children have left atrial diameters between 25 and 30 mm

=P(z(25)<z<z(30)) where z(25), z(30) are the z-scores of 25 and 30 mm

z(30)=\frac{30-26.7}{4.7} ≈ 0.702

z(25)=\frac{25-26.7}{4.7} ≈ −0.362

P(z<0.702)=0.7587

P(z<−0.362)=0.3587

Then P(z(25)<z<z(30)) =0.7587 - 0.3587 =0.4

d) to find the value for which only about 20% have a larger left atrial diameter, we assume

P(z>z*)=0.2 or 20% where z* is the z-score of the value we are looking for.

Then P(z<z*)=0.8 and z*=0.84. That is

0.84=\frac{X-26.7}{4.7}  solving this equation for X we get X=30.648

A boat traveled 36 miles in 1.5 hours and then 14 miles in 0.75 hours. what is the average speed of the boat?
jeka57 [31]
Speed=distance/time
You'll have to combine like terms.
36+14=50
1.5+0.75=2.25

And then you can use the formula.
50/2.25
