Answer:

The table C correctly shows the ratio 8:1  for each grade

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of students

y ----> the number of adults

we know that

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{8}{1}

<u><em>Verify each table</em></u>

Table A

grade 6

\frac{96}{88}=\frac{8}{1}

Multiply in cross

96(1)=8(88) ----> is not true

Table B

grade 6

\frac{96}{104}=\frac{8}{1}

Multiply in cross

96(1)=8(104) ----> is not true

Table C

<u><em>grade 6</em></u>

\frac{96}{12}=\frac{8}{1}

Multiply in cross

96(1)=8(12)

96=96 ----> is true

<u><em>grade 7</em></u>

\frac{120}{15}=\frac{8}{1}

Multiply in cross

120(1)=8(15)

120=120 ----> is true

<u><em>grade 8</em></u>

\frac{136}{17}=\frac{8}{1}

Multiply in cross

136(1)=8(17)

136=136 ----> is true

therefore

The table C correctly shows the ratio 8:1  for each grade

Table D

<u><em>grade 6</em></u>

\frac{96}{11}=\frac{8}{1}

Multiply in cross

96(1)=8(11)----> is not true

Answer:

<em>Table C is correct</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Ratio or Proportion </u>

When some quantity has a value M respect to another quantity of value N, we say the ratio between them is

\displaystyle r=\frac{M}{N}

That ratio (in absolute value) can be greater than one, if M>N, less than one if M<N or 1 if they are equal

The problem states the ratio of students to adults on a field trip is 8 to 1.

We need to search in each table in which one has the correct ratio for all grades. Let's test the first table

For 6th grade, the ratio of students to adults is

\displaystyle r=\frac{96}{88}

this is far away from 8, so this table is wrong

<u>Now for the table C </u>

For grade 6 the ratio is

\displaystyle r=\frac{96}{12}=8

For grade 7

\displaystyle r=\frac{120}{15}=8

For grade 8

\displaystyle r=\frac{136}{17}=8

Since all the ratios are 8, this is the correct answer.

Devin runs a factory that makes Blu-ray players. Each R80 takes 9 ounces of plastic and 2 ounces of metal. Each G150 requires 3
alexira [117]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  R80: 12

  G150: 54

  Best Profit: $582

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the numbers of R80 and G150 players, respectively. The constraints of the problem are ...

  0 ≤ x ≤ 18 . . . . . a maximum of 18 R80 can be built

  0 ≤ y . . . . . . . . . only non-negative numbers can be built

  9x +3y ≤ 270 . . . . ounces of plastic used cannot exceed 270

  2x +6y ≤ 348 . . . . ounces of metal used cannot exceed 348

The objective is to maximize the profit function ...

  P(x, y) = 8x +9y

The attached graph shows profit is a maximum of $582 per week when 12 R80 players and 54 G150 players are produced.

_____

Since the maximum profit is at a value of x less than 18, we didn't bother to graph that constraint.

Danielle earns a 7.25% commission on everything she sells at the electronics store where she works. She also earns a base salary
algol13

Danielle earned $969 last week if she sold $4,400 in electronics merchandise

<h3><u><em>Solution:</em></u></h3>

Given that, Danielle earns a 7.25% commission on everything she sells at the electronics store where she works.  

She also earns a base salary of $650 per week.  

We have to find how much did she earn last week if she sold $4,400 in electronics merchandise?  

Now, we know that, earned amount = base salary + commission

Given that she earns a 7.25% commission on everything she sells

<em><u>So commission earned for selling $ 4400 is given as:</u></em>

commission earned = 7.25 % of 4400

\text { commission earned }=\frac{7.25}{100} \times 4400=7.25 \times 44=319

Earned amount = base salary + commission = 650 + 319 = 969

Hence, she earned $969 last week

At Katya’s fruit stand, a basket of strawberries costs $4 and a basket of raspberries costs $9. In one morning, Katya sells 96 b
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The number of strawberry baskets sold was 44

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of strawberry baskets sold

y ---> the number of raspberries baskets sold

we know that

In one morning, Katya sells 96 baskets for $644

so

x+y=96 ----> equation A

4x+9y=644 ---> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (44.52)

see the attached figure

therefore

The number of strawberry baskets sold was 44 and the number of raspberries baskets sold was 52

Solve the equation –4 In(6x) = 2.<br> O A. 0.101<br> B. 0.275<br> C 3.639<br> D. 67.238
EastWind [94]

Isolate the variable using algebraic manipulation.

-4 ln(6x)=2

ln(6x)=-\frac{1}{2}

6x=e^{-\frac{1}{2}}

x=\frac{e^-\frac{1}{2}}{6}

x=0.101

Hope this helps.

頑張って!
