6 0

Answer:

1.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that for every 500 computers, 6 are defective. So, to know what percentage of computers are defective on average, we can do a rule of three:

500 computers -> 6 defective

100 computers -> X defective

500/100 = 6/X

X = 100 * 6 / 500 = 1.2

So, in average, for every 100 computers, 1.2 are defective, so the percentage is 1.2% (1.2 for every 100)

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line.
timurjin [86]

Answer:

y = -1/2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

You can see that the slope is -1/2 because of the rise over run.

It also crosses the y axis at 4,

so it is y = -1/2x + 4

Bill and Mary Ann went to the Viola bakery. Bill bought 5 pies and 7 donuts for ​$12.65. Mary Ann bought 6 of each for ​$12.30.
sweet [91]

Answer:

Pies=$0.85

Donuts= $1.20

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation let p stand for the number of pies and d stand for the number of donuts.

To solve this set up 2 equations, one representing bill and the other representing Mary Ann.

  • Bill's equation is 5p+7d=$12.65.
  • Mary Ann's equation is 6p+6d=$12.30

Then solve using a system of equations. Systems of equations can be solved using elimination or substitution. I will use substitution. Solve bill's equation for p. This gives you p=\frac{12.65-7d}{5}. Then, you can substitute that into Mary Ann's equation. This looks like 6\cdot \frac{12.65-7d}{5}+6d=12.3. Solve for d. Once you solve d=1.20. Finally, substitute 1.20 back into either Bill's or Mary Ann's for d and solve for p. No matter which equation you use p=0.85.

Can you help me with this question?
Troyanec [42]
Assuming you are focusing on the square only, then the answer is 9 inches.

You take the square root of 81 to get 9. Notice how 9^2 = 9*9 = 81. So if you're not familiar with square roots, then think backwards in a sense to get the answer.

this is false

(6+8)^2= 196

6^2+8^2=100

They are not equal so this is a false statement

A bolt falls off an airplane at an altitude of 500 m. How long will it take the bolt to reach
Rudik [331]

Answer:

t = sqrt(500/4.9) =~ 10.1 seconds/ Answer: 10.1015 seconds (this is approximate)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use 4.9t^2 + v0t = s

a) A bolt falls off an airplane at an altitude of 500 m. Approximately how long does it take the bolt to reach the ground?

s = 4.9t^2 + v0t = 500

4.9t^2 = 500

t = sqrt(500/4.9) =~ 10.1 seconds

Part A)

v = initial velocity = 0

s = 500 = vertical distance the object travels (from plane to ground)  

Plug in the given values and solve for t

4.9t^2 + v*t = s

4.9t^2 + 0*t = 500

4.9t^2 + 0 = 500

4.9t^2 = 500

t^2 = 500/4.9

t^2 = 102.04081632653

t = sqrt(102.04081632653)

t = 10.101525445522

t = 10.1015

Answer: 10.1015 seconds (this is approximate)
