Answer: 2.5 pounds of beef  and 3.25 pounds of pork

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the answer is incomplete because is lacking how much more pork she bought. <em>She bought 0.75 pounds more pork than beef and spends $15.25</em>, is the complete form.

So, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

  • <em>Beef: $3.50 per pound </em>
  • <em>Pork: $2.00 per pound </em>
  • <em>Pounds of beef = x </em>
  • <em>Pounds of pork = x + 0.75 </em>
  • <em>Total cost : $15.25</em>

So, the equation is:

3.50x + 2 (x+0.75) = 15.25

3.50x +2x + 1.5 =15.25

5.50 x = 15.25 -1.5

5.50x = 13.75

x = 13.75/5.50  

x = 2.5 pounds of beef

Replacing the value of x in the Pork's equation:

Pounds of pork = x +0.75 = 0.75 +2.5 = 3.25 pounds of pork

Which expression and diagram represent “three times a number”?
kozerog [31]

Answer:

You've picked the right one! It's the one you've marked in the picture!

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplication is just like addition; you're just doing it multiple times instead of once. 3<em>x</em> is equal to <em>x</em> + <em>x</em> + <em>x</em>. That's exactly what the option you chose in the image shows. Great job! You've got this!

If you have a cube measuring 1 unit on each side, how many of those cubes would fit into a space 2 units by 3 units by 4 units
alisha [4.7K]

Given:

Measure of a cube = 1 unit on each side.

Dimensions of a space 2 units by 3 units by 4 units.

To find:

Number of cubes that can be fit into the given space.

Solution:

The volume of cube is:

V_1=a^3

Where, a is the side length of cube.

V_1=(1)^3

V_1=1

So, the volume of the cube is 1 cubic units.

The volume of the cuboid is:

V_2=l\times b\times h

Where, l is length, w is width and h is height.

Putting l=2,b=3,h=4, we get

V_2=2\times 3\times 4

V_2=24

So, the volume of the space is 24 cubic units.

We need to divide the volume of the space by the volume of the cube to find the number of cubes that can be fit into the given space.

n=\dfrac{V_2}{V_1}

n=\dfrac{24}{1}

n=24

Therefore, 24 cubes can be fit into the given space.

natima [27]

Answer:

b. It will decrease by a factor of 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence interval 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The lower end of the interval is given by:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

The upper end of the interval is given by:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

The length of the interval is the subtraction of the upper end by the lower end, so it is:

L = 2z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

This means that the length is inverse proportional to the square root of the size of the sample.

So, if the sample size is multiplied by 4, the length of the interval is going to decrease by a factor of 2.
