Natalie has $20 to spend on 5 sandwiches. Can she spend $4.39 on each sandwich? Explain.

No.

First let's look at how much the sandwiches should cost at a maximum for a total of $20 for 5 sandwiches.

$20/5 = $4 per sandwich. So we can not spend over $4 per sandwich.

If you take the $4.39 and multiple it by the need of 5 sandwiches, you get $21.95.

20 - 21.95 = -$1.95 -> Meaning you are over the budget by $1.95

OR

If you look at $20/$4.39 = 4.56 sandwiches

And 4.56 sandwiches < 5 sandwiches.

No she can't spend $4.39 for each sandwich because if you divide 20 by 5 your quotient will be 4.

You are at a family reunion and the cooler contains ten bottles of soda; four Sprite, three Dr. Pepper, and three Cherry Coke. T

natita [175]

Answer:

Probability of getting Dr. Pepper the fourth time = $\frac{1}7$

Probability of getting a cherry coke the fifth time = $\frac{1}{3}$

Combined probability = $\frac{1}{21}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for probability of an event E can be observed as:

$P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}$

It is given that first time a Cherry coke is chosen and it is not replaced.

So, number of cherry coke left = 2

Dr. Pepper is chosen twice and is not replaced, so

Number of Dr. Pepper left = 3 - 2 = 1

Total number of soda left = 10 - 3 = 7

So, probability of getting Dr. Pepper the fourth time = $\frac{1}7$

Now, total number of soda left = 7 - 1 = 6

Probability of getting a cherry coke the fifth time = $\frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$

The combined probability = probability of getting Dr. Pepper the fourth time multiplied with Probability of getting a cherry coke the fifth time

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}7 \times \dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{1}{21}$

Which number line shows the solution set for |p-3|=9?

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Option b

$p = -6$ or $p = 12$

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value is a function that transforms any value x into a positive number.

Therefore, for the function $f(x) = |x|$ x> 0 for all real numbers.

Then the equation:

$|p-3| = 9$ has two cases

$(p-3) = 9$ if $h > 3$ (i)

$-(p-3) = 9$ if $h < 3$ (ii)

We solve the case (i)

$p = 9 + 3\\p = 12$

We solve the case (ii)

$-p +3 = 9\\p = 3-9\\p = -6$

Then the solution is:

$p = -6$ or $p = 12$

Graph a line with a slope of -3 that contains the point (4, -2)

Crank

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Slope m=-3

A point (x, y)=(4,-2)

Equation of a line can generally be written as

y=mx+c

Where, m is the slope

And c is the intercept on y-axis

Since we are given m=-3

Then, y=mx+c becomes

y=-3x+c

To get c, let substitute the point given, i.e x=4 and y=-2

y=-3x+c

-2=-3(4)+c

-2=-12+c

-2+12=c

c=-2+12

c=10

y=mx+c, then m=-3 and c=10

Then, the equation the line becomes y = -3x + 10

This is the required line equation

a regular rectangular pyramid has a base and lateral faces that are congruent equilateral triangles. it has a lateral surface ar

Margarita [4]

A pyramid is regular if its base is a regular polygon, that is a polygon with equal sides and angle measures.
(and the lateral edges of the pyramid are also equal to each other)

Thus a regular rectangular pyramid is a regular pyramid with a square base, of side length say x.

The lateral faces are equilateral triangles of side length x.

The lateral surface area is 72 cm^2, thus the area of one face is 72/4=36/2=18 cm^2.

now we need to find x. Consider the picture attached, showing one lateral face of the pyramid.

by the Pythagorean theorem:

$h= \sqrt{ x^{2} - (x/2)^{2}}= \sqrt{ x^{2}- x^{2}/4}= \sqrt{3x^2/4}= \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}x$

thus,

$Area_{triangle}= \frac{1}{2}\cdot base \cdot height\\\\18= \frac{1}{2}\cdot x \cdot \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}x\\\\ \frac{18 \cdot 4}{ \sqrt{3}}=x^2$

thus:

$x^2 =\frac{18 \cdot 4}{ \sqrt{3}}= \frac{18 \cdot 4 \cdot\ \sqrt{3} }{3}=24 \sqrt{3}$ (cm^2)

but $x^{2}$ is exactly the base area, since the base is a square of sidelength = x cm.

So, the total surface area = base area + lateral area = $24 \sqrt{3}+72$ cm^2

Answer: $24 \sqrt{3}+72$ cm^2
