Steps:
2 1/3 * 3 = 7
14 * 3 = 42
42 divided by 7 = 6
6 * 8 = 48
So, Maggie is 48 feet under the summit (-48). Therefore, the correct answer is d.

The fish tank has side lengths 20in, 10in and height 15in. The water level is two inches below the top of the tank. A glass sphe
Kitty [74]

Answer:

Part 1) The new distance from the water to the top of the tank is 1.979\ in

Part 2) The maximum number of balls that can be put into the tank with the tank not overflowing is 95

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the total volume of the tank

V=20*10*15=3,000\ in^{3}

step 2

Find the volume of the tank if the water level is two inches below the top of the tank

V=20*10*(15-2)=2,600\ in^{3}

step 3

Find the volume of the glass sphere

The volume of the glass sphere is equal to

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}

we have

r=1\ in

assume

\pi=3.14

substitute

V=\frac{4}{3}(3.14)(1)^{3}

V=4.2\ in^{3}

step 4

What is the new distance from the water to the top of the tank?

we know that

2 in -----> represent (3,000-2,600)=400\ in^{3}

so

using proportion

Find how many inches correspond a volume of 4.2\ in^{3}

\frac{2}{400}\frac{in}{in^{3}}=\frac{x}{4.2}\frac{in}{in^{3}}\\ \\x=4.2*2/400\\ \\x=0.021\ in

The new distance from the water to the top of the tank is

2-0.021=1.979\ in

step 5

Find how many of these balls can be put into the tank with the tank not overflowing

we know that

The volume of one ball is equal to  4.2\ in^{3}

using proportion

\frac{1}{4.2}=\frac{x}{400}\\ \\x=400/4.2\\ \\x=95.23\ balls

therefore

The maximum number of balls that can be put into the tank with the tank not overflowing is 95

Solve each system of equations by substitution. <br> 2x + 2y = 3 x - 4y = -1
Shtirlitz [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 2y = 3 ( x2 for everything in the equation)

x - 4y = -1

4x+ 4y = 6

x - 4y = -1

Add the 1st line to the 2nd line to get rid of the y:

5x = 5

x - 4y = -1  ( you can pick any line from this system to be the second equation in this step, you can put 2x + 2y = 3 or 4x+ 4y = 6, anything above this step, but to make it simple chose the one you think is the easiest)

Solve for x, then plug the x value into the 2nd equation

x = 1

1 - 4y = -1

x = 1

-4y = -2 =) y = 1/2

x = 1

y= 1/2

Answer:

The length of the total 8 pieces in 0.8 meters = 6.4 meters

How many pieces there are in the remaining 0.4 meter = 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

0.8 x 8 = 6.4

9 meters - 6.4 meters = the remaining 2.6 meters

2.6 x 0.4 = 6 1/2 pieces of ribbon in 0.4 meters.

Mr. Montes is writing a short, three-question, true or false quiz for his Algebra 2 classes. He had planned on using a random an
belka [17]

Answer:

There are 4 questions to answer here and the answers are given below:

1. COMBINATION

2. SET 2  

3. {S2, S3, S4, S5}

4. { }  OR  ∅

Step-by-step explanation:

The key topics here are PERMUTATION & COMBINATION and SETS & VENN DIAGRAMS.

The assignment has 5 questions in all. The options for each question are listed below and separated by commas:

1. True, False

2. True, False

3. A, B, C, D

4. A, B, C, D

5. A, B, C, D

Mr. Montes derives his answers from a random answer generator; same way Amisha generated her answers by random selection.

<u>QUESTION 1</u>

If you want to find the odds that Amisha got at least 3/5 of the answers correctly, would you use a permutation or a combination?

<u>ANSWER TO QUESTION 1</u>

You would use a combination. Note that as much as 'permutation' is distinctly defined from 'combination', in many complex cases both are used to derive the solution. In this case though, a combination is used. For each of the 5 questions, there are a number of possible answers. Questions 1 and 2 have only <em>two possible answers</em> (also known as options) while questions 3, 4 and 5 have <em>four possible answers</em>/<em>options</em> to choose from. Amisha can only have one set of five answers; each to each question. So this is a combination! If you want to find the odds that Amisha got at least 3 of her 5 answers correct, you would use a combination of the various possible answers to check.

<u>QUESTION 2</u>

Find "Set 1 ∩ Set 2" and explain the notation in the sentence.

<u>ANSWER TO QUESTION 2</u>

First list out relevant information:

- The correct answers to questions 3, 4 and 5 are respectively C, B, A

- The universal set consists of five students: S1, S2, S3, S4, S5 hence

Ц = {S1, S2, S3, S4, S5}

Next, enlist the elements of each defined set

Set 1: {S1, S2, S3, S4, S5}     Set 2: {S2, S3, S4}     Set 3: {S4, S5}

Note: Set 1 is equal to the universal set.

Now this notation "∩" means "intersect". It requires an action - checking out which elements in one set also appear in a second set and then bringing those elements to form a new set.

In the case of this question, we're to find Set 1 intersect Set 2. The elements present in Set 1 and also present in Set 2 are {S2, S3, S4}.

If you look closely, you'll observe that these are the same elements in Set 2! This brings to remembrance, one of the laws of sets:

The intersect of any subset and the universal set (recall that Set 1 happens to be equal to or have the same elements as the universal set) is equal to that subset.

So the answer to question 2 is

Set 1 ∩ Set 2 = Set 2

<u>QUESTION 3</u>

Find "Set 2 ∪ Set 3" and explain the notation in the sentence.

<u>ANSWER TO QUESTION 3</u>

The notation ∪ represents "union". This is the act of putting together the elements in two sets, to form a new set. In this activity, if an element appears in both sets, it is only written once in the new set, not twice.

So, Set 2 union Set 3 = {S2, S3, S4, S5}

As earlier stated, Student 4 isn't appearing twice in the new set.

<u>QUESTION 4</u>

Find the ' of Set 1 and explain the notation in this sentence.

<u>ANSWER TO QUESTION 4</u>

The symbol ' means "complement of a set". Finding the complement of a set is like subtracting the elements of that set from the universal set.

Since Set 1 contains the same elements as the universal set, subtracting Set 1 from the universal set will give you nothing. In this case, the complement of Set 1 is a null set!

Set 1 ' Ц = { }  or  ∅

where the empty bracket symbol and the slashed zero symbol represent null set.

Kudos!
