Mathematics

Answer:

0.4p or p-0.6p

Step-by-step explanation:

We use percents in decimal form to multiply it with the price. We convert percents into decimals by dividing the percent number by 100. For example, 78% divided by 100 becomes 0.78.

There are two ways to look at it:

  • For finding the price we pay during a sale, we focus on the percent we pay. If 60% off is the sale, then we spend 40% or 100-60=40. 40% is 0.40. Multiply that by p an unknown price and we have 0.4p.
  • We can find the percent off by multiplying the price by the percent conversion. So 60% is 0.60. Then subtract it from the original price to find the leftover that we pay. This is p-0.6p.

Han and Tyler are following a polenta recipe that uses 5 cups of water for every 2 cups of cornmeal.
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 5 cups of cornmeal=2 cups of water. Using 115 cups of cormeal would mean you need 287.5  cups of water, not 3.

3 is too little

2: If you use 5 cups of water for every 3 cups of cornmeal, for 3 cups of cornmeal you'd need like 6.5 cups of water, not that high of a number.

Solve the equation
motikmotik

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1}{2} (2x + 2) - \frac{1}{4} (3x - 1) = 15

multiply through by 4 ( the LCM of 2 and 4 ) to clear the fractions

2(2x + 2) - (3x - 1) = 60 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

4x + 4 - 3x + 1 = 60

x + 5 = 60 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

x = 55

Construct a sample (with at least two different values in the set) of 3 measurements whose variance is negative. If this is not
Bond [772]

This is not possible. Why not? Because the smallest the variance can get is 0.

Recall that 's' represents the standard deviation, so s^2 is the variance. It basically measures how spread out the values are. The higher the variance, the more spread out the data. You can think of it as "average distance from the mean". If the variance is 0, then all of the values are at the same point. So you could have a list like {2,2,2,2,2} which has variance 0. We cannot get any smaller variance than that. If your teacher insists all the values in the list are different, then the variance will be greater than 0.
