One whole jar= 3/3 or 1

Set up a ratio comparing the two sets of measurements.

2 2/4 ounces of peanuts is to 2/3 of a jar as x ounces of peanuts is to 3/3 of a jar.

x= ounces in 1 whole jar

2 2/4 / 2/3= x / 3/3
cross multiply

(2 2/4 * 3/3)= (2/3 * x)
convert to improper fractions

10/4 * 3/3= 2/3x
multiply numerators; multiply denominators

(10*3)/(4*3)= 2/3x

30/12= 2/3x
divide both sides by 2/3

30/12 ÷ 2/3= x
to divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal/inverse of 2/3

30/12 * 3/2= x
multiply numerators; multiply denominators

(30*3)/(12*2)= x
90/24= x
simplify by 6

15/4 or 3 3/4 ounces= x


ANSWER: 3 3/4 ounces can make a full jar.

Hope this helps! :)

One factor of the function f(x) = x3 − 6x2 + 11x − 6 is (x − 3)
arlik [135]
Let f(x)= y = x3 - 6x2 + 11x - 6
X intercept means a point on the graph which intercepts the x axis
And Y-intercept mean a point on the graph which intercepts the y axis
Meaning at the x intercept the component of y is zero because there is no y on the x axis


And at the y intercept the x component of the coordinate is zero because on the y axis there is no x value
So in finding the y intercept of the graph wherever u see x place zero there (ie x= 0 on the y axis)
So with x = 0
y = (0)3- 6(0)2 + 11(0) - 6
y = -6

Therefore the y intercept is (0,-6) in coordinate form or -6

X-intercept
y = x3 - 6x2 + 11x - 6
After factorization and simplification
y = (x-1)(x-2)(x-3)
On the x axis y= 0
0= (x-1)(x-2)(x-3)
Either x-1=0
x=1
(1,0)
Or x-2=0
x=2
(2,0)
Or x-3=0
x=3 (3,0)
Therefore the x intercepts are 1,2 and 3
And they are expressed in coordinate form as (1,0) ,(2,0) and
(3,0)

According to a study, an average of six cell phone thefts is reported in San Francisco per day. Assume that the number of report
lions [1.4K]

Answer:0.29

Step-by-step explanation:

An average of six cell phone thefts is reported in San Francisco per day. This means our mean value, u = 6

For poisson distribution,

P(x=r) = (e^-u×u^r)/r!

probability that four cell phones will be reported stolen tomorrow=

P(x=4)= (e^-6×6^4)/4!

= (0.00248×1296)/4×3×2×1

= 3.21408/24=

0.13392

P(x=5)= (e^-6×6^5)/5!

= (0.00248×7776)/5×4×3×2×1

= 19.28448/120

= 0.1607

probability that four or five cell phones will be reported stolen tomorrow

= P(x=4) + P(x=5)

= 0.13392 + 0.1607

= 0.294624

Approximately 0.29
