Answer:
Note that a pint is 16 ounces of volume, while a pound is 16 ounces of weight. The popular rhyme "A pint's a pound, the world around" can help you remember this, but keep in mind that they're not really equivalent.
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer could be 32^(-2)
Answer:
<em>8.5</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
To find mean, we simply take the average of all the numbers in the data set, and divide in by the amount of values!
68 ÷ 8 = 8.5!
X*a = 244 is equation (1)
x+a = 2 is equation (2)
Solve equation (2) for 'a' to get
x+a = 2
a = 2-x
Call this equation (3)
We will plug equation (3) into equation (1)
x*a = 244
x*(a) = 244
x*(2-x) = 244
Notice how the 'a' is replaced with an expression in terms of x
Let's solve for x
x*(2-x) = 244
2x-x^2 = 244
x^2-2x+244 = 0
If we use the discriminant formula, d = b^2 - 4ac, then we find that...
d = b^2 - 4ac
d = (-2)^2 - 4*1*244
d = -972
indicating that there are no real number solutions to the equation x^2-2x+244 = 0
So this means that 'x' and 'a' in those two original equations are non real numbers. If you haven't learned about complex numbers yet, then the answer is simply "no solution". At this point you would stop here.
If you have learned about complex numbers, then the solution set is approximately
{x = 1 + 15.588i, a = 1 - 15.588i}
which can be found through the quadratic formula
Note: it's possible that there's a typo somewhere in the problem that your teacher gave you.
Answer:
1.25 Hours (1 hour & 15 minutes)
Step-by-step explanation:
14x = 5 + 10x
Subtract 10x from both sides
4x = 5
Divide by 4 on both sides
x = 1.25
It will take 1 hour and 15 minutes (1.25 hours) for Mrs. Penn and Mrs. Smith to be paid the same amount.
