Answer:
a. $0.47 per ounce
b. $0.36 per ounce
c. the gallon size costs less per ounce
Step-by-step explanation:
A unit rate is a rate that is expressed with one unit in the denominator. That is, it is <some amount> per unit. The <some amount> value will generally depend on what unit is chosen. This problem suggests the desired unit is 1 oz of paint.
__
<h3>a.</h3>
Unit cost for a quart:
ratio = cost/ounces = $14.99/(32 oz) ≈ $0.468/oz ≈ $0.47/oz
__
<h3>b.</h3>
Unit cost for a gallon:
ratio = cost/ounces = $45.99/(120 oz) ≈ $0.359/oz ≈ $0.36/oz
__
<h3>c.</h3>
The cost per ounce is less for the gallon size. If at least 3 quarts of paint is needed, then buying it in the gallon size will cost less.
If less than 3 quarts are needed, then a gallon container will cost more than is necessary for the paint required. The "better deal" depends on the amount of paint required.
Step-by-step explanation:
tanA=8/15 and tan B=40/9
tan(A+B)=(tanA+tanB)/1-tanAtanB
(8/15+40/9)/1-(8/15×40/9)
=-672/185
Let small cups = S
Large cups = L
They bought a total of 8 cups, so S + L = 8
Rewrite as S = 8-L (1st equation)
Then you also have
$3S + $5L = $30 (2nd equation)
Replace the S in the second equation with the first equation:
$3(8-L) + $5L = $30
Simplify:
24 - 3L + 5L = 30
Combine like terms:
24+2L = 30
Subtract 24 from both sides:
2L = 6
Divide both sides by 2:
L = 3
They bought 3 large cups
Since they bought a total of 8 cups, that means they bought 5 small cups ( 8-3=5)
Large = 3 cups, Small = 5 cups
Hello!
I believe the correct answer is D) No, because each group of n items does not have an equal chance of being selected.
I hope it helps!
