Each of 435 bags contains at least one of the following three items: raisins, almonds, and peanuts. The number of bags that cont

ain only raisins is 10 times the number of bags that contain only peanuts. The number of bags that contain only almonds is 20 times the number of bags that contain only raisins and peanuts. The number of bags that contain only peanuts is one-fifth the number of bags that contain only almonds. 210 bags contain almonds. How many bags contain only one kind of item?

Answer:

320 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Introduction</h3>

Let's first assign some literals, to simplify the problem. The goal is to set everything up, in order to only use one symbol.

p: number of bags with only peanuts.

a: number of bags with only almonds.

r: number of bags with only raisins.

x: number of bags with only raisins and peanuts.

Now, the problem establish 3 useful equations. We can find equations equivalences for the next sentences.

<em>"The number of bags that contain only raisins is 10 times the number of bags that contain only peanuts"  </em>is equivalent to r = 10p.

<em>"The number of bags that contain only almonds is 20 times the number of bags that contain only raisins and peanuts" </em>is equivalent to a= 20x.

<em>"The number of bags that contain only peanuts is one-fifth the number of bags that contain only almonds" </em>is equivalent to p = \frac{1}{5} a.

<h3>Now, let's set every variable in function of x</h3>

We already know that a = 20x.  And because of that, we also know that

p = \frac{1}{5}a = \frac{1}{5}(20x) = 4x

and to conclude this stage of the problem, we also know that r = 10p =10(4x) = 40x

<h3>¡Let's draw it!</h3>

As there are only 3 items, it is possible to use a Venn diagram. As we can see in the diagram, the entire quantity of bags is going to be

210 + 4x + x + 40x = 210 + 45x

But, we also know that there are 435 bags, then we only have to solve the equation:

210 + 45x = 435

45x = 435 - 210

45x = 225

x = 225/45

x = 5

<h3>Conclude </h3>

Substituting x = 5 we get

a = 20 x = 20(5) = 100

p = 4 x = 4(5) = 20

r = 40 x = 40(5) = 200

Finally ans = 100 + 20 + 200 = 320

Gina and Stewart are surf-fishing on the Atlantic coast, where both bluefish and pompano are
viktelen [127]

Using the normal distribution, it is found that due to the greater z-score, Stewart caught the longer fish relative to the same specie.

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

  • The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
  • Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

To find who caught the longer fish relative to the same specie, we need to find out who had the higher z-score.

Stewart caught a bluefish with a length of 322 mm, hence the parameters are as follows:

X = 322, \mu = 267, \sigma = 39

The z-score is:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{322 - 267}{39}

Z = 1.41

Gina caught a pompano with a length of 176 mm, hence the parameters are as follows:

X = 176, \mu = 155, \sigma = 28

The z-score is:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{176 - 155}{28}

Z = 0.75.

Hence Stewart caught the longer fish relative to the same specie.

What is the range of the function y=3 Sqrt x+8
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

(-\infty,+\infty)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

y=\sqrt[3]{x+8}

The range refers to the values of y for which  x is defined.

We solve for x to obtain;

y^3=x+8

x=y^3-8

This is a polynomial function in y.

x is defined for all values of y.

Therefore the range is all real numbers.

or

(-\infty,+\infty)

The first choice is correct.

The sum of 3 consecutive even integers is 78. What is the largest of the integers?
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

is the sum 78 or 7,878 (i.e. was there a stutter)?

In any event, this sum must be even, so 3 consecutive even integers would be n, n+2 & n+4 whose sum is 3n + 6.

Set that to either 78 or 7878, whichever is intended, & solve for n.   If 78 is their grand total, then those 3 consecutive even numbers have to be 24, 26 & 28.

No stress!  Just logic! Keep the faith!
