It would take 5 hours for all the bacteria to die. 1000 divided by 5 is 200 so 200x5=1000

What is the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints ( 3.5,2.2) and (1.5,-4.8)?

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Option A) (2.5,-1.3) is correct

The midpoint of the given line segment is M=(2.5,-1.3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the line segment with end points (3.5, 2.2) and (1.5, -4.8)

To find the mid point of these endpoints midpoint formula is $M=\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$

Let ( $x_1,y_1$ ) be the point (3.5, 2.2) and ( $x_2, y_2$ ) be the point (1.5, -4.8)

substituting the points in the formula

$M=\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$

$M=\left(\frac{3.5+1.5}{2}, \frac{2.2-4.8}{2}\right)$

$=\left(\frac{5}{2}, \frac{-2.6}{2}\right)$

$=\left(2.5,-1.3\right)$

Therefore M=(2.5,-1.3)

The midpoint of the given line segment is M=(2.5,-1.3)

The number of chicken dish is 131 dishes while the number of lobster dishes is 119 dishes

<h3>How to find the number of each type of dish.</h3>

Let

x = number of chicken dish and
y = number of lobster dish

<h3>How to determine the equations for the linear system</h3>

Since it cost $40 per dish for chicken dish, the total cost of chicken dish is 40x.

Also, since it cost $70 per dish for lobster dish, the total cost of lobster dish is 70y

So, the total cost of dish is T = 40x + 70y

Also, we know that the total cost of dish is $13,570.

So, 40x + 70y = 13570 (1)

Also, there are going to be 250 guest at the dinner and thus 250 dishes.

So, the total number of dishes is x + y = 250

So, x + y = 250 (2)

So, the equations of the linear system are

40x + 70y = 13570 (1)

x + y = 250 (2)

<h3>How to determine the solution for the linear system</h3>

Since

40x + 70y = 13570 (1)

x + y = 250 (2)

From (2), x = 250 - y

Substituting x into (1), we have

40x + 70y = 13570 (1)

40(250 - y) + 70y = 13570 (1)

10000 - 40y + 70y = 13570

30y = 13570 - 10000

30y = 3570

y = 3570/30

y = 119

Substituting y = 119 into x, we have

x = 250 - y

x = 250 - 119

x = 131

Therefore, the number of chicken dish is 131 dishes while the number of lobster dishes is 119 dishes

A number is selected from the set (1, 2, 3, 5, 15, 21, 29, 38, 500). If equal elemental probabilities are assigned, what is

Katen [24]

Answer:

$\frac{7}{9}$ OR 77.78%

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we first need to find out how many numbers fit the "less than 29 or odd" group.

This would be: 1, 2, 3, 5, 15, 21, and 29, which is a total of 7 numbers.

Next, we figure out the total amount of numbers in the population.

This would be: 1, 2, 3, 5, 15, 21, 29, 38, and 500, which is a total of 9 numbers.

Finally, we put the first number (7) over the total (9) = $\frac{7}{9}$

$\frac{7}{9}$ is now able to be written in a percentage, if you need.

The probability is $\frac{7}{9}$ OR 77.78%

For how many games Is the total cost of bowling equal for the two bowling establishments? Family Bowling- Game $4 Shoes $1 Knigh

skad [1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: If you play 4 games, the price will be the same in the two establishments.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, in Family Bowling we have:

$4 per game, plus $1 per shoes (the shoes are paid only one time).

Then, the price for X games, is:

Pa(X) = $4*X + $1.

In Knight Owl Bowling we have:

$3.75 per game and $2 for the shoes, the price for X games will be:

Pb(X) = $3.75*X + $2.

Now, if we want to pay the same in both establishments, we have:

Pa(X) = Pb(x)

$4*X + $1 = $3.75*X + $2

Now we should solve this for X.

$4*X - $3.75*X = $2 - $1 = $1

($4 - $3.75)*X = $1

$0.25*X = $1

X = $1/$0.25 = 4.

If you play 4 games, the price will be the same in the two establishments.
