Answer: $\dfrac{-1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation of a line in intercept form is given by :-

$y=mx+b$ , where m is the slope of the line. (1)

Given equation of a line : $2x-y=16$

It can be written as :

$y=2x-16$

By comparing to the equation (1) , we have

$m=2$

Also, the product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.

Let p be the slope of the line perpendicular to $2x-y=16$ , then we have

$p\times 2=-1\\\\\Rightarrow\ p=\dfrac{-1}{2}$

Hence, the slope of the line perpendicular to $2x-y=16$ = $\dfrac{-1}{2}$

Answer:

The value is $E(x) = 1.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The number of cans is n = 4

The number of can that are empty is N = 3

The number of can filled with water is k = 1

The number number of sets of cans is w = 5

Generally probability of detecting the correct can is mathematically represented as

$p = \frac{k}{n}$

=> $p = \frac{1}{4}$

=> $p = 0.25$

Generally probability of not detecting the correct can is mathematically represented as

$q = 1- p$

$q = 1- 0.25$

$q = 0.75$

Generally the number of cans expected of the farmer to correctly identify by chance is mathematically represented as

$E(x) = w * p$

=> $E(x) = 5 * 0.75$

=> $E(x) = 1.25$

Answer:

7×10⁻¹ +6×10⁻² +5×10⁻³

Step-by-step explanation:

Place value in any place-value number system increases by a factor of the base for each place to the left of the "decimal" point. It is reduced by a factor of the base for each place to the right of the "decimal" point.

For base-10 numbers, the powers of 10 are -1, -2, -3, ... as you go to the right of the decimal point. Hence the number 0.765 decomposes as ...

7×10⁻¹ +6×10⁻² +5×10⁻³

Amanda uses 1/3 of a cup of milk each time she makes a batch of pancakes. How manybbatches can she make if she only has 11/22 of

kow [346]

Answer:

Amanda can make 1.5 or 3/2 of batches of pancakes with 11/22 of a cup of milk.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us for answering the question correctly:

Amount of milk Amanda use for a batch of pancakes = 1/3 cup

2. How many batches can she make if she only has 11/22 of a cup of milk left?

Let's simplify 11/22, dividing by 11 the numerator and the denominator,

11/22 = 1/2

Now, using the Rule of Three Simple, we can calculate the answer to this question, this way:

Number of batches = (1/2 * 1)/1/3

Number of batches = 1/2 / 1/3

Number of batches = 1/2 * 3/1 (Taking the reciprocal)

Number of batches = 3/2 = 1.5

Amanda can make 1.5 or 3/2 of batches of pancakes with 11/22 of a cup of milk.
