<h3>Answer:     2500 grams</h3>

============================================

Work Shown:

A = amount of grams of cheese you had originally

B = (2/5)*A = amount of cheese you use up after day 1

C = (3/5)*A = amount of cheese you have left over after day 1

note how B and C add back up to 'A'.

This is because 2/5+3/5 = 5/5 = 1, so,

B+C = (2/5)A+(3/5)A = (2/5+3/5)A = 1*A = A

--------------

D = (2/5)*C = amount of cheese you use up after day 2

E = (3/5)*C = amount of cheese left over after day 2

the variables D and E add up to C

we are told that there are 900 grams of cheese left after day 2, so E = 900

--------------

E = (3/5)*C

(3/5)*C = E

(3/5)*C = 900 ... Plug in E = 900

3C = 900*5 .... multiply both sides by 5

3C = 4500

C = 4500/3 .... divide both sides by 3

C = 1500

This means you had 1500 grams of cheese after day 1

-------------

C = (3/5)*A

(3/5)*A = C

(3/5)*A = 1500 ... plug in C = 1500

3A = 1500*5 ... multiply both sides by 5

3A = 7500

A = 7500/3 .... divide both sides by 3

A = 2500

-----------

<h3>You started off with 2500 grams of cheese.</h3>

After day 1, you use up (2/5)*2500 = 1000 grams of cheese and have 2500-1000 = 1500 grams left over.

After day 2, you use up (2/5)*1500 = 600 grams of cheese and have 1500-600 = 900 grams left over.

The answer is confirmed.

1. Thom has a scale model of his car. The
MariettaO [177]

x =\frac{4}{3}inch is the size in wheels on the scale model .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Correct Question : Tom has a scale model of his car. The scale factor is 1 : 12. If the actual car has 16-inch wheels, what size are the wheels on the scale model?

We have , The scale factor is 1 : 12. We need to find If the actual car has 16-inch wheels, what size are the wheels on the scale model .Let's find out:

Ratio of size of wheels to actual size of wheels is 1:12 , but actual car has 16-inch wheels So ,

⇒ \frac{1}{12}  = \frac{x}{16}                 { x is size of wheel in scale model }

⇒ \frac{1(16)}{12}  = \frac{x}{16}(16)

⇒ x =\frac{16}{12}

⇒ x =\frac{4}{3}inch

Therefore , x =\frac{4}{3}inch is the size in wheels on the scale model .

The y-intercept of g(x) in g(x) = 3x - 2 is (0,-2) (0,0) (2/3,0)
Dennis_Churaev [7]
For any y-intercept, the x-coordinate is zero. This is something to bear in mind to start with.

Now to find the y-intercept, find g(0) = -2.

Therefore the answer is (0,-2)

the odds in favor of frank mckinnis winning a hot dog eating contest are 2:9the odds in favor of frank mckinnis winning a hot do
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Consider the complete question is,

'The odds in favor of frank McKinney winning a hot dog eating contest are 2:9,

  • Determine the probability that Frank will win the contest,
  • Determine the probability that Frank will not win the contest'

Solution :

We know that,

Odds in favor : the ratio of the number of ways that an outcome can occur compared to how many ways it cannot occur.

We have,

\frac{\text{Number of ways of winning the contest}}{\text{Number of ways of not wining the contest}}=\frac{2}{9}

So, total outcomes = 2 + 9 = 11,

\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}

Thus, the probability that Frank will win the contest = \frac{2}{11}

And,

The probability that Frank will win the contest = \frac{9}{11}

Write an equation of the line with the given properties. Your answer should be written in standard form.
Vanyuwa [196]

Given:

The slope of the line is m=0.

The line passes through the point P(-9,-3).

To find:

The equation of the line in standard form.

Solution:

Standard form of a line is:

Ax+By=C

The slope intercept form of the line is

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Where, m is the slope and (x_1,y_1) is the point on the line.

It is given that the slope of the line is 3 and it passes through the point (-9,-3), so the equation of the line is

y-(-3)=0(x-(-9))

y+3=0

y=-3

Therefore, the standard form of the given line is y=-3.
