Complete question:

Kyle incorrectly says that the product of - ( - 6 ) # ( - 1 ) is 6 . 11. After a recycling awareness program, the number of tons of recyclable material taken to the landfill is reduced by 13 7/10 tons per month. Represent the total change in the tons of recyclable material taken to the landfill after 7 months resulting from the awareness program a. What is the correct product? 10 month. Represent the total change in the b. What was Kyle's likely error?

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Kyle incorrectly says that the product of - ( - 6 ) ( - 1 ) is 6

-(-6)(-1) = 6 [incorrect]

Correction:

-(-6) (-1) :

- (-6) = 6

6 (-1) = - 6

Given that reduction in materials = 13 7/10 tons per month

Monthly reduction = 13 7/10 = 137/10 tons

After 7 months : (7 * 137/10) = 959/10 tons = 95.9 tons

Change in amount of material taken to the land fill:

Initial amount - amount after 7 months

If initial amount = x

Change in amonnt = (x - 95.9) tons

Answer:

Part A)

Chorus:

c(t)=15(1.12)^t

Band:

b(t)=2t+30

Part B)

After 9 years:

The chorus will have about 41 people.

And the band will have 48 people.

Part C)

About approximately 11 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that there are 15 people in the chorus. Each year, number of people in the chorus increases by 12%. So, the chorus increases exponentially.

There are 30 people in the band. Each year, 2 new people join the band. So, the band increases linearly.

Part A)

Since after each year, the number of people in the chorus increases by 12%, the new population will be 112% or 1.12 of the previous population.

So, using the standard form for exponential growth:

c(t)=a(r)^t

Where <em>a</em> is the initial population and <em>r</em> is the rate of change.

We will substitute 15 for <em>a </em>and 1.12 for <em>r</em>. Hence:

c(t)=15(1.12)^t

This represents the number of people in the chorus after <em>t</em> years.

We are given that 2 new people join the band each year. So, it increases linearly.

Since there are already 30 people in the band, our initial point or y-intercept is 30.

And since 2 new people join every year, our slope is 2. Then by the slope-intercept form:

b(t)=mt+b

And by substitution:

b(t)=2t+30

This represents the number of people in the band after <em>t</em> years.

Part B)

We want to find the number of people in the chorus and the band after 9 years.

Using the chorus function, we see that:

c(9)=15(1.12)^9\approx41.59\approx41

There will be approximately 41 people in the chorus after 9 years.

And using the band function, we see that:

b(9)=2(9)+30=48

There will be 48 people in the band after 9 years.

Part C)

We want to determine after approximately how many years will the number of people in the chorus and band be equivalent. Hence, we will set the two functions equal to each other and solve for <em>t</em>. So:

15(1.12)^t=2t+30

Unfortunately, it is impossible to solve for <em>t</em> using normal analytic methods. Hence, we can graph them. Recall that graphically, our equation is the same as saying at what point will our two functions intersect.

Referring to the graph below, we can see that the point of intersection is at approximately (10.95, 51.91).

Hence, after approximately 11 years, both the chorus and the band will have approximately 52 people.

Esmerelda bought a bag of jelly beans. There were 24 green jelly beans, which made up 8%, percent of all the jelly beans in the
Margarita [4]
So, let's look at the problem once again.

8%, or 8/100 of the bag were green jelly beans.

Let's see what we can do to find out a number of other jelly beans, not including the green ones.

We know that 92% of jelly-beans are not green.

92% is 11.5 times more than 8%
(92/8)

24 (or 8%) times 11.5 = 276

276 - number of jelly beans that are not green.

276 plus 24 = 300.

Answer: 300 jelly beans were in one bag.

Answer:

  d. Anthony rode 14 more miles per week than Malique.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anthony rode (141 mi)/(3 wk) = 47 mi/wk.

Malique rode (165 mi)/(5 wk) = 33 mi/wk.

Anthony rode more miles per week by ...

  (47 -33) mi/wk = 14 mi/wk

Anthony rode 14 more miles per week than Malique.
