Answer:

The price of one pound of bell peppers is $0.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is equivalent to the following:

<em>"if 10 oranges cost $20, how much does 1 orange cost? "</em>

and the answer to that question is:

price of 1 orange = $20/ 10 oranges = $2 per orange.

Put simply, we divided the total price by the total number of items, and we shall do the same thing for the case of bell peppers:

price of 1 pound = $1.25/ 2.5 pounds = $0.5/ pound.

The price for 1 pound of bell peppers is $0.5.

Answer:

a) P (A)= 88/102= 0.8627

(b) P (B)= 89/102= 0.8725

c) P (A`) = 14/102 = 0.1372

(d) P (A∩B) = 84/102 =0.8235

(e) P(AUB)= 93/102 = 0.9117

(f)P (A`UB) = 98/102= 0.96078

Step-by-step explanation:

finish excellent good Total

<u>(A )surface finish excellent 84 4 88</u>

good ( B) ⇵ 5 9 14

Total 89 13 102

a) Upper P left-parenthesis Upper A right-parenthesis equals

P (A)= 88/102= 0.8627

All the elements of set A = 84+4= 88

(b) Upper P left-parenthesis Upper B right-parenthesis equals

P (B)= 89/102= 0.8725

All the elements of set B = 84+5= 89

c) Upper P left-parenthesis Upper A prime right-parenthesis equal

P (A`) = 14/102 = 0.1372

All the elements of Universal set U which are not elements of set A = 102- 88= 14

(d) Upper P left-parenthesis Upper A intersection Upper B right-parenthesis equals

P (A∩B) = 84/102 =0.8235

Only those elements of set A and set B which are common

(e) Upper P left-parenthesis Upper A union Upper B right-parenthesis equals

P(AUB)= 93/102 = 0.9117

Totalling elements of set A and B= 88+5= 93

(f) Upper P left-parenthesis Upper A prime union Upper B right-parenthesis equals

P (A`UB) = 98/102= 0.96078

All the elements of Universal set U which are not elements of set A and the elements of Set B = 5+9+ 84= 98

If 30,000 cm2 of material is available to make a box with a square base and an open top, what is the largest possible volume (in

Cloud [144]

Answer:

The largest possible volume of the box is 2000000 cubic meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume ( $V$ ), in cubic centimeters, and surface area ( $A_{s}$ ), in square centimeters, of the box with a square base are described below:

$A_{s} = l^{2}+h\cdot l$ (1)

$V = l^{2}\cdot h$ (2)

Where:

$l$ - Side length of the base, in centimeters.

$h$ - Height of the box, in centimeters.

By (2), we clear $h$ within the formula:

$h = \frac{V}{l^{2}}$

And we apply in (1) and simplify the resulting expression:

$A_{s} = l^{2}+ \frac{V}{l}$

$A_{s}\cdot l = l^{3}+V$

$V = A_{s}\cdot l -l^{3}$ (3)

Then, we find the first and second derivatives of this expression:

$V' = A_{s}-3\cdot l^{2}$ (4)

$V'' = -6\cdot l$ (5)

If $V' = 0$ and $A_{s} = 30000\,cm^{2}$ , then we find the critical value of the side length of the base is:

$30000-3\cdot l^{2} = 0$

$3\cdot l^{2} = 30000$

$l = 100\,cm$

Then, we evaluate this result in the expression of the second derivative:

$V'' = -600$

By Second Derivative Test, we conclude that critical value leads to an absolute maximum. The maximum possible volume of the box is:

$V = 30000\cdot l - l^{3}$

$V = 2000000\,cm^{3}$

The largest possible volume of the box is 2000000 cubic meters.

Greg’s sister Ava is 4 years older than him. If the sum of Greg’s age and 2 times Ava’s age is 35, How old is Ava?

Fofino [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Create an equation: g+(G+4)(2)=35

Parentheses: g+2(G+4)=35

Distributive property: g+2g+8=35

Combine like terms: 3g+8=35

Subtractive property: 3g=27

Division property: g=9

Greg is 9. Since Ava is 4 years older you add 4 to find her age. Ava is 13. You take Ava’s age times 2 ( equals 26) then add Greg’s age (equals 35). And it should equal 35.

The sales tax on a surfboard is $12. What is the percent of sales tax?

Rudik [331]

X= sales tax %

Step 1:
$240 * sales tax %= $12
240 * x= 12
240x=12
Divide both sides by 240
x= 0.05 (decimal of the %)

Convert to %:
Multiply decimal by 100 (or move decimal to the right two decimal places
=0.05 x 100
=5 %

The sales tax is 5%.

Hope this helps! :)
