Solve it by reversing what is done to the number. You don't need an equation to do that.

17 is 7 less than ...

so adding 7 to 17, making 24, will give you ... one-fourth of the number. If 24 is one-fouth of the number, multiplying 24 by 4 will give you the number. Doing that tells you the number is 96.

_____

You can do the same solution process using an equation.

(1/4)n - 7 = 17 . . . . . 7 less than 1/4 of a number is 17

(1/4)n = 24 . . . . . . . add 7

n = 4·24 = 96 . . . . multiply by 4

The number is 96.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer: C. Sesame oil freezes at a lower temperature than peanut oil because −6.2 °C < 3.1 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Freezing point of sesame oil = - 6.2°C

Freezing point of peanut oil = 3.1°C

Comparing the two temperatures :

Freezing(when a substance turns to solid) usually occurs at low temperatures. The temperature of sesame oil(-6 2°C) is lower than that of peanut oil(3.1°C).

Hence, it can be concluded that Sesame oil freezes at lower temperature than peanut oil.

Mathematically,

-6.2°C < 3.1°C

Find an explicit formula for the following sequence, an, which starts with a1=−8.<br> −8,−5,−2,1,4,…
stepan [7]

Formula for an is 3n - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Equation for a(n) = a + (n - 1)d where a = - 8, d = common difference = a2 - a1 = -5 - -8 = 3

⇒ a(n) = -8 + (n - 1)3 = - 8 + 3n - 3 = 3n - 11

A bookbook can be classified as either non dash fictionnon-fiction or fictionfiction. Suppose that 9494​% of booksbooks are clas
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

a) 0.8836

b) 0.7339

c) 0.2342

Step-by-step explanation:

Books classified as fiction = 94% or 0.94 probability

Books classified as non-fiction = 1 - 0.94 = 0.06

a) for two books, we get: 0.94 * 0.94 = 0.8836 Probability

b) The probability that all five books are fiction is: 0.94^5

    This equals 0.7339 Probability

c) Probability that one books is non-fiction, while the other 4 are fiction is determined in the following way:

 Probability of non-fiction * probability of fiction^(number of books)

 0.06 * 0.94^4 = 0.0468

 This does not account for the order at which the non-fiction book shows up. Such as the non-fiction book being the first book picked, or in another case - the non-fiction book being the last picked.

Since there are 5 ways this could occur, the total probability will be calculated as shown: 0.0468 * 5 = 0.2342 Probability
