In a factory A, about 3 out of every 2,000 toys have a defect. In factory B, about 5 out of every 4,500 toys have a defect. One

week, each factory produced 18,000 toys. Which factory had the greater number of toys with defects? Solve. Use a proportion to solve.

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

Factory A proportion:

3 : 2,000

Factory B proportion:

5 : 4,500 (this can be simplified):

1 : 900

Now plug in 18,000 to each proportion:

Factory A:

x : 18,000

3 : 2,000

x = 27

Factory B:

x : 18,000

1 : 900

x = 20

Factory A had the greater amount of defects, 27

A camera flash can create what in a photograph of a person?
nevsk [136]

This isn't really mathematics but I can give you an answer.

Assuming, it's in the dark (cuz in the light, why would you use flash), a person in the photograph can gain a red-eye (in the photo).

The only one I can think of is red eye.

Given:• PQRS is a rectangle.• mZ1 = 50°Р21SRWhat is mZ2?130°85°70°65°
Over [174]

To answer this question, we need to recall that: "the diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other"

Thus, if we assign the point of intersection of the two diagonals in the rectangle as point O, we can say that the triangle OQR is an "isosceles triangle". Note that this is because the lengths OR and OQ are equal since we know that: "the diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other". See the below diagram for clarity.

Now, we have to recall that:

- the base angles of any isosceles triangle are equal. This is a fact, and this means that the angles

- also the sum of all the angles in any triangle is 180 degrees

Now, considering the isosceles triangle OQR, we have that:

\angle OQR+\angle ORQ+\angle ROQ=180^o

Now, since the figure already shows that angle m\angle2+\angle ORQ+50^o=180^oNow, since we have established that the base angles m\angle2+m\angle2+50^o=180^owe can now solve the above equation for m<2 as follows:

\begin{gathered} m\angle2+m\angle2+50^o=180^o \\ \Rightarrow2m\angle2+50^o=180^o \\ \Rightarrow2m\angle2=180^o-50^o \\ \Rightarrow2m\angle2=130^o \\ \Rightarrow m\angle2=\frac{130^o}{2}=65^o \end{gathered}

Therefore, the correct answer is: option D

What are the slope and the y-intercept of the linear function that is represented by the equation y=-10x+1?
Alenkasestr [34]
Linear functions can be written in the form y=mx+b, where:
y is a y coordinate on the line
m is the slope of the line
x is the x coordinate on the line that corresponds with the y coordinate in the equation
b is the y-intercept of the line

So for the equation y=-10x+1:
m=-10 and b=1 so the slope of the line is -10, and the y-intercept is 1. Your answer is B.
