20 apples / 5 apple pies = 4

4 * 2 pounds = 8 pounds

Hope this helps!

To solve this problem, we should set up a proportion. Let's let the unknown number of pounds of apples we need be represented by the variable x. Our proportion should be:

2 pounds of apples/5 apple pies = x pounds of apples/20 apple pies

Because our units are the same on both sides of the equation, we can eliminate them and keep the numbers only.

2/5 = x/20

Next, we can begin to solve this equation by cross multiplication. To cross-multiply, you multiply the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other fraction and set it equal to the product of the other numerator and denominator. This is modeled below:

2 * 20 = 5 * x

To simplify, we begin by performing the multiplication on both sides of the equation.

40 = 5x

Next, we should divide both sides of the equation by 5, so that we can get the variable x alone on the right side of the equation.

x = 8

Therefore, your answer is that you need 8 pounds of apples to make 20 apple pies.

Hope this helps!

Solve this system using matrices:
sweet [91]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of linear equations is one which may be written in the form

a11x1 + a12x2 + · · · + a1nxn = b1 (1)

a21x1 + a22x2 + · · · + a2nxn = b2 (2)

.

am1x1 + am2x2 + · · · + amnxn = bm (m)

Here, all of the coefficients aij and all of the right hand sides bi are assumed to be known constants. All of the

xi

’s are assumed to be unknowns, that we are to solve for. Note that every left hand side is a sum of terms of

the form constant × x

Solving Linear Systems of Equations

We now introduce, by way of several examples, the systematic procedure for solving systems of linear

equations.

Here is a system of three equations in three unknowns.

x1+ x2 + x3 = 4 (1)

x1+ 2x2 + 3x3 = 9 (2)

2x1+ 3x2 + x3 = 7 (3)

We can reduce the system down to two equations in two unknowns by using the first equation to solve for x1

in terms of x2 and x3

x1 = 4 − x2 − x3 (1’)

1

and substituting this solution into the remaining two equations

(2) (4 − x2 − x3) + 2x2+3x3 = 9 =⇒ x2+2x3 = 5

(3) 2(4 − x2 − x3) + 3x2+ x3 = 7 =⇒ x2− x3 = −1

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Test statistic = - 0.851063

- 2.520463

Step-by-step explanation:

H0 : μ ≥ 15

H1 : μ < 15

Sample mean, xbar = 14.5

Sample standard deviation, s = 4.7

Sample size = 64

Teat statistic :

(xbar - μ) ÷ (s/√(n))

(14.5 - 15) ÷ (4.7/√(64))

= - 0.851063

The critical value at α = 0.05

Using the T - distribution :

Degree of freedom, df = 64 - 1 = 63

Tcritical(0.05, 63) = 1.6694

Test statistic - critical value

-0.851063 - 1.6694

= - 2.520463
