Kwamee created a coffee blend for his cafe by mixing Kona beans and Fuji beans.Kona beans cost $11 per pound and Fuji beans cost

$7.50 per pound.He bought a total of 23 pounds of coffee beans and it cost $197. Write a system of equations that can be used to determine how many pounds of Kona and Fuji beans Kwamee bought.

Let's use K for Kona and F for Fuji.  The system of equations has to be a balanced system.  For example, you can't mix the number of pounds of beans with the cost for each because pounds and dollars are different and you can only combine like terms...pounds with pounds and dollars with dollars.  So let's start with the number of pounds.  Since we don't know how much of each he bought we have the 2 unknowns, F and K, but we DO know that he bought 23 pounds total. So the first equation is
K + F = 23
Now let's see what we can do with the dollars. Again, we don't know how much he bought of each kind of coffee, but we do know that Kona beans cost $11 per pound and that Fuji beans cost $7.50 per pound, and we know that he spent a total of $197. So let's set that up:
11K + 7.50F = 197
Those are your 2 equations. It doesn't say you need to solve them, so you're done.

Assume the hold time of callers to a cable company is normally distributed with a mean of 5.5 minutes and a standard deviation o
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

The percent of callers are 37.21 who are on hold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A normally distributed data.

Mean of the data, \mu = 5.5 mins

Standard deviation, \sigma = 0.4 mins

We have to find the callers percentage who are on hold between 5.4 and 5.8 mins.

Lets find z-score on each raw score.

⇒ z_1=\frac{x_1-\mu}{\sigma}   ...raw score,x_1 = 5.4

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ z_1=\frac{5.4-5.5}{0.4}

⇒ z_1=-0.25  

For raw score 5.5 the z score is.

⇒ z_2=\frac{5.8-5.5}{0.4}  

⇒ z_2=0.75

Now we have to look upon the values from Z score table and arrange them in probability terms then convert it into percentages.

We have to work with P(5.4<z<5.8).

⇒ P(5.4

⇒ P(-0.25

⇒ P(z

⇒ z(1.5)=0.7734 and z(-0.25)=0.4013.<em>..from z -score table.</em>

⇒ 0.7734-0.4013

⇒ 0.3721

To find the percentage we have to multiply with 100.

⇒ 0.3721\times 100

⇒ 37.21 %

The percent of callers who are on hold between 5.4 minutes to 5.8 minutes is 37.21

This rational expression is nonequivalent. 5x / 25x^4 ; x^3 / 5x^15<br> True or false?????
FromTheMoon [43]

It is nonequivalent. Figure it out this way. Think about what number has to be multiplied by both the numerator and the denominator of \frac{5x}{25x^4} to get to \frac{x^3}{5x^15}. It has to be the samee number for the one expression to be equivalent to the other. To get from 5x to x^3, we have to multiply by 1/5x^2. When we do that we get x^3. Good. Now we have to multiply the denominator by the same thing, 1/5x^2. 25x^4(\frac{1}{5}x^2)=5x^6. As you can see, they are not equivalent.
