you have a large container of olive oil. You have used 22 1/2 quarts of oil. Twenty- five percent of the oil remain. How many qu
Alex Ar [27]
Answer:

7.5 quarts of olive oil remain.

Explanation:

Let

q = quarts of olive oil remain

<span>25%</span> of olive oil remains means that <span>75%</span> has been used.

22<span>12</span> quarts = 22.5 quarts used

<span><span>22.5.75</span>=<span>q.25</span></span>

Multiply both sides by .25 to isolate q.

<span><span>22.5.75</span><span>(.25)</span>=<span>q.25</span><span>(.25)</span></span>

<span><span>5.625.75</span>=q</span>

<span>7.5=<span>q</span></span>

Match the fractions with Equivalent percentages
Mrrafil [7]

In order to match each of the pairs you need to divide the numerator by the denominator to make it into a decimal.

Below are the pairs:

21/25 = 84%

13/20 = 65%

2/5 = 40%

3/4 = 75%

3/5 = 60%

Complete each trinomial such that it can be rewritten in the form a(x+b)^2 or a(x-b)^2
scoundrel [369]

The value of the expression  in the form a(x+b)^2 is 1.5(x+2)^2 - 4

<h3>Vertex Form of a quadratic expression</h3>

Given the quadratic expressions

1.5x^2+6x+......

1.5(x^2 + 4x)

Using the completing the square method

The coefficient of x = 4

Half of the coefficient = 4/2 = 2

The square of the result = 2^2 = 4

The equation is expressed as:

f(x) = 1.5(x^2+4x+ 4) - 4

f(x) = 1.5(x+2)^2 - 4

Hence the value of the expression  in the form a(x+b)^2 is 1.5(x+2)^2 - 4

Directions: Using the digits 1 to 9, at most one time each, fill in the boxes to find the largest or smallest possible values fo
12345 [234]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  smallest: 8x -3 = 4; 1y +9 = 2. total = -49/8

  largest: 1x -9 = 8; 2y +3 = 7. total = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

If we use variables to represent the box contents, we can write ...

  • ax -b = c
  • dy +e = f

Then the values of x and y are ...

  x = (c +b)/a

  y = (f -e)/d

For positive integer values of the variables, x will always be positive, and y may or may not be negative.

<h3>Smallest sum</h3>

For the sum to be the smallest, we must have x be as small as possible and the ratio (f-e)/d be as negative as possible.

x will be small for large 'a' and for (c+b) small. For y to be as negative as possible, we want 'd' and 'f' small and 'e' large. Best results are obtained for

  • 8x -3 = 4   ⇒   x = 7/8
  • 1y +9 = 2   ⇒   y = -7

For these coefficients, the sum is -6 1/8 = -49/8.

(note that the values of 'b' and 'c' can be swapped with no net effect)

<h3>Largest sum</h3>

For the sum to be the largest, we must have x as large as possible: (b+c) large and 'a' small. At the same time we must have y be positive and as large as possible: (f-e) positive and large, 'd' small. Best results are obtained for

  • 1x -9 = 8  ⇒   x = 17
  • 2y +3 = 7   ⇒   y = 2

For these coefficients, the sum is 19. Again, 'b' and 'c' can be swapped with no effect.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

These extreme values are verified by examination of the 60,480 possible permutations of the coefficients.
