The leas amount of large plates that would have to be purchased is 24

So the person would buy 2 packs of large plates and 3 packs of small plates.


How to: the way to find this out, is to find the first multiplication of 8 that is a number equally divided by 12. So you go:
8x1 = 8 (less than 12, so not enough)
8x2 = 16 (more than 12, but still not enough to divide equally)
8x3 = 24 (bingo!)

Hope it helps.

A farmer from Whidbey Island: A man claims his whalebone can detect water. You design an experiment using a set of 4 cans, 3 emp
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The value is E(x) =  1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The number of cans is n = 4

The number of can that are empty is N = 3

The number of can filled with water is k = 1

The number number of sets of cans is w = 5

Generally probability of detecting the correct can is mathematically represented as

p  =  \frac{k}{n}

=> p  =  \frac{1}{4}

=> p  = 0.25

Generally probability of not detecting the correct can is mathematically represented as

q =  1- p

q =  1- 0.25

q = 0.75

Generally the number of cans expected of the farmer to correctly identify by chance is mathematically represented as

E(x) =  w  *  p

=> E(x) =  5  * 0.75

=> E(x) =  1.25

I’m pretty sure he could only make 1 rectangle with 5cm because it’s an odd number which means he couldn’t stack them on top of each other evenly like he could with the 6cm rectangles, so he’d only be able to line them up next to each other and that’s it (I hope that’s right; sorry if it’s not but it makes sense to me lol)

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,7) and is perpendicular to the line
Temka [501]

The equation of line perpendicular to given line through (-6,7) is:

y=\frac{1}{6}x+8

Further explanation:

Given equation of line is:

6x+y=3\\y= -6x+3

The co-efficient of x is the slope of given line.

Let m1 be the slope of given line

and

m2 be the slope of line perpendicular to given line

Then

m_1=-6

Product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1

m_1*m_2 = -1\\-6*m_2=-1\\m_2=\frac{-1}{-6}\\m_2=\frac{1}6}

The equation of new line can be written as:

y=m_2x+b\\

Putting m2

y=\frac{1}{6}x+b

To find the value of b, we will put (-6,7) in equation

7=\frac{1}{6}(-6)+b\\7=-1+b\\b=7+1\\b=8

Putting the values of b and m in general equation

y=\frac{1}{6}x+8

Keywords: Slope, Point-slope form, perpendicular lines
