pan for her family. She used the rest of the spinach to make a salad.
What fraction of the spinach did she use ti make the salad?

Quantity of spinach that Rose bought: x

Quantity used on the pan of spinach pie for the party: (3/5)x

Remaining spinach: x-(3/5)x=(1-3/5)x=(5/5-3/5)x=[(5-3)/5]x=(2/5)x

Quantity used on a pan for her family: (3/4)(2/5)x=[(3*2)/(4*5)]=(6/20)x
Quantity used on a pan for her family:(3/10)x

Quantity use to make the salad: x-(3/5)x-(3/10)x=(1-3/5-3/10)x
Quantity use to make the salad: [(10*1-2*3-1*3)/10]x=[(10-6-3)/10]x
Quantity use to make the salad: (1/10)x

a. <span>What fraction of the spinach did she use to make the salad?
</span>She used 1/10 of the spinach to make the salad.

b. If Rose used 3 pounds of spinach to make the pan of spinach pie for the party , how many pounds of spinach did Rose use to make salad?

Quantity used on the pan of spinach pie for the party: (3/5)x= 3 pounds
Quantity used to make the salad: (1/10)x=?

We need to find x. Solving for x in the quantity used on the pan of spinach pie for the party:
(3/5)x=3 pounds
(5/3)(3/5)x=(5/3)(3 pounds)
x=15/3 pounds
x= 5 pounds

Quantity of spinach that Rose bought: x= 5 pounds

Now we can find the quantity used to make the salad:
(1/10)x=(1/10)(5 pounds)=(5/10) pounds=(1/2) pound = 0.5 pound

Answer: Quantity used to make the salad is 1/2=0.5 pound

a. She used 1/10 of the spinach for a salad.

b. She used 1/2 pound of spinach for the salad.

We can solve each part of this problem by using a "fraction strip". The strip helps show a breakdown of what portion of spinach was used for each the party, family, and salad. See the attached image for a step by step example of how to multiply the fractions to find the correct portions.

The radius of a cylindrical vessel is 7 cm and height is 1400 m . Find the cost of painting its inner curved surface area at the
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Cost = 616000 DHS per square centimetre.

Step-by-step explanation:

curved surface of a cylinder = 2\pirh

r = 7 cm

h = 1400 m = 140000 cm

The outer curved surface area of the cylinder = inner curved surface area of the cylinder

The inner curved surface of the cylinder = 2\pirh

                                      = 2 x \frac{22}{7} x 7 x 140000

                                      = 2 x 22 x 1 x 140000

                                      = 6160000

The inner curved surface of the cylinder is 6160000 square centimetre.

But, the cost of painting is at the rate of 10 DHS per square centimetre.

The inner curved surface of the cylinder = 6.16 x 10^{6} square centimetre.

cost of painting the inner curved surface area = \frac{6.16*10^{6} }{10}

                                                                       = 616000 DHS per square centimetre

The cost of painting the inner surface is 616000 DHS per square centimetre.

Customers arrivals at a checkout counter in a department store per hour have a Poisson distribution with parameter λ = 7. Calcul
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

(1)14.9% (2) 2.96% (3) 97.04%

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for Poisson distribution: P(k) = \frac{\lambda^ke^{-k}}{k!} where k is a number of guests coming in at a particular hour period.

(1) We can substitute k = 7 and \lambda = 7 into the formula:

P(k=7) = \frac{7^7e^{-7}}{7!}

P(k=7) = \frac{823543*0.000911882}{5040} = 0.149 = 14.9\%

(2)To calculate the probability of maximum 2 customers, we can add up the probability of 0, 1, and 2 customers coming in at a random hours

P(k\leq2) = P(k=0)+P(k=1)+P(k=2)

P(k\leq2) = \frac{7^0e^{-7}}{0!} + \frac{7^1e^{-7}}{1!} + \frac{7^2e^{-7}}{2!}

P(k \leq 2) = \frac{0.000911882}{1} + \frac{7*0.000911882}{1} + \frac{49*0.000911882}{2}

P(k\leq2) = 0.000911882+0.006383174+0.022341108 \approx 0.0296=2.96\%

(3) The probability of having at least 3 customers arriving at a random hour would be the probability of having more than 2 customers, which is the invert of probability of having no more than 2 customers. Therefore:

P(k\geq 3) = P(k>2) = 1 - P(k\leq2) = 1 - 0.0296 = 0.9704 = 97.04\%

work it out "the equation 1.5r + 15=2.25r represents the number r of movies u must rent to spend the same amount at each movie s
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

  20

Step-by-step explanation:

Your equation is correct. To solve it subtract 1.5r from both sides and divide by the resulting coefficient of r.

  15 = 0.75r

  15/0.75 = r = 20

You must rent 20 movies for the costs to be the same.
