Answer:

The correct number of basic operations that exist in mathematics is four (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) because the definition of an operation is the carrying out of a task by the application of principles and these four operation are arithmetic operations that have precedence rules or order of operations, such that we must first multiply or divide before adding or subtracting

Division is different from simply multiplying by a fraction because in Euclidean division, the result is a quotient and a remainder, which shows that division can yield more than one result while multiplication yields a single result

For subtraction and addition, one of the differences is that subtraction cannot be simply commuted

a - b = -(b - a)

Subtraction is non-associative;

a - b - c when arranged as (a - b) - c and a - (b - c), can yield different results depending on operation order which is unlike addition

Therefore, the four basic operations in mathematics are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division

1) What is the solution of the given system?

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

1 x=-2.5 y = -5.5

2. x=5 y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

1) What is the solution of the given system?

5x-y=-7

3x-y=-2

Multiply the second equation by -1

-1*(3x-y)=-1(-2)

-3x +y = 2

Now add the first equation to the modified second equation

5x-y=-7

-3x +y = 2

------------------

2x = -5

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = -5/2

x = -2.5

Now we need to find y

-3x+y =2

-3(-2.5) +y =2

7.5 +y =2

Subtract 7.5 from each side

7.5 -7.5 +y =2-7.5

y = -5.5

2) what is the solution of the given system?

5x+7y=32

8x+6y=46

Divide the second equation by 2

8x/2+6y/2=46/2

4x+3y =23

Multiply the first equation by 4

4 (5x+7y)=32*4

20x+28y = 128

Now multiply the modified 2nd equation by -5

-5(4x+3y )=-5(23 )

-20x -15y = -115

Lets add the new equations together to eliminate x

20x+28y = 128

-20x -15y = -115

---------------------

13y = 13

Divide each side by 13

13y/13 =13/13

y=1

Now substitute back in to find x

5x+7y=32

5x +7(1) =32

5x +7 =32

Subtract 7 from each side

5x+7-7 =32-7

5x =25

Divide by 5

5x/5 =25/5

x=5

Breyers is a major producer of ice cream and would like to test if the average American consumes more than 17 ounces of ice crea

asambeis [7]

Answer:

The conclusion for this hypothesis test would be that the average American consumes less than or equal to 17 ounces of ice cream per month.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Breyers is a major producer of ice cream and would like to test if the average American consumes more than 17 ounces of ice cream per month.

A random sample of 25 Americans was found to consume an average of 19 ounces of ice cream last month. The standard deviation for this sample was 5 ounces.

Let $\mu$ = average ounces of ice cream consumed by American per month

So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $\mu \leq$ 17 ounces {means that the average American consumes less than or equal to 17 ounces of ice cream per month}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $\mu$ > 17 ounces {means that the average American consumes more than 17 ounces of ice cream per month}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample t test statistics as we don't know about population standard deviation;

T.S. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ $t_n_-_1$

where, $\bar X$ = sample average = 19 ounces

s = sample standard deviation = 5 ounces

n = sample of Americans = 25

So, test statistics = $\frac{19-17}{\frac{5}{\sqrt{25} } }$ ~ $t_2_4$

= 2

The value of the test statistics is 2.

Now at 0.025 significance level, the t table gives critical value of 2.06 at 24 degree of freedom for right-tailed test. Since our test statistics is less than the critical values of t, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which we fail to reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the the average American consumes less than or equal to 17 ounces of ice cream per month.

Emily gives her bird 1/8 cup of bird seeds along with 1/3 cup of grains each day. How much food is given each day to the bird

ANEK [815]

Answer:

11/24 cup

Step-by-step explanation:

What you would do is add 1/8 plus 1/3. To add two fractions, each much have the same denominator. In this case, you would need to multiply 1/8 into 3/24 by multiplying 1/8 by 3 on the denominator and numerator. For 1/3, multiply each the numerator and denominator by 8 getting the fraction 8/24. Now you can line up each fraction and add the numerators, keeping the denominator at 24. That answer would be 11/24. This cannot be simplified, so the answer is 11/24 cup of food.

Whenever you are confused with assignments, it is best to tell your parent to help you or teacher the next day. Hope this helps though!
