I had a summer job cooking two items at a bbq place. I sell burgers for $9.00 and sell chicken sandwiches for $11.25. Because I

am a splendid cook, i sell a total of 330 items and make a total of $3,375. How many of each did I sell?

Answer:

He sold 180 chicken sandwiches and 150 burguers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 330 items were sold, then the amount of burguers and chicken sandwiches sold must be equal to this value. From this information we have:

burguers + sandwiches = 330

We know that each burguer cost $9 and each chicken sandwich cost $11.25 and that we made a total of $3,375. So we have:

9*burguers + 11.25*sandwiches = 3,375

From the first equation we have:

burguers = 330 - sandwiches

Applying it on the second equation:

9*(330 - sandwiches) + 11.25*sandwiches = 3,375

2,970 - 9*sandwiches + 11.25*sandwiches = 3,375

2.25*sandwiches = 3,375 - 2,970

2.25*sandwiches = 405

sandwiches = 405/2.25 = 180

So,

burguers = 330 - 180 = 150

He sold 180 chicken sandwiches and 150 burguers.

Elena bikes 20 minutes each day for exercise. Write an equation to describe the relationship between her distance in miles, D, a

kompoz [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

The equation to describe the relationship between Elena distance:

a) D = 4.34 miles, b) D = 4.25 miles and c) 12D = M + 3N miles.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, Elena bikes 20 minutes each day for exercise.

We have to write an equation to describe the relationship between her distance in miles, D, and her biking speed, in miles per hour,

We know that, distance travelled = speed $\times$ time

a. At a constant speed of 13 miles per hour for the entire 20 minutes

Her speed is 13 miles per hour.

Then, distance D miles = 13 miles per hour $\times$ 20 minutes

$\mathrm{D}=13 \text { miles per hour } \times \frac{20}{60} \text { hours } \rightarrow \mathrm{d}=13 \times \frac{1}{3} \rightarrow \mathrm{d}=4.34 \text { miles approximately. }$

b. At a constant speed of 15 minutes per hour for the first 5 minutes, then at 12 miles per hour for the last 15 minutes

Now, total distance travelled = distance travelled with 15 mph + distance travelled with 12 mph

$\begin{array}{l}{\mathrm{D}=15 \mathrm{mph} \times 5 \text { minutes }+12 \mathrm{mph} \times 15 \text { minutes }} \\\\ {\mathrm{D}=15 \mathrm{mph} \times \frac{5}{60} \text { hours }+12 \mathrm{mph} \times \frac{15}{60} \text { minutes }} \\\\ {\mathrm{D}=15 \times \frac{1}{12}+12 \times \frac{1}{4} \rightarrow \mathrm{D}=\frac{5}{4}+3 \rightarrow \mathrm{D}=3+1.25 \rightarrow \mathrm{D}=4.25 \mathrm{miles}}\end{array}$

c. At a constant speed of M miles per hour for the first 5 minutes, then at N miles per hour for the last 15 minutes

Now, total distance travelled = distance travelled with M mph + distance travelled with N mph

$D = M mph \times 5 minutes + N mph \times 15 minutes$

$\mathrm{D}=\mathrm{M} \mathrm{mph} \times \frac{5}{60} \text { hours }+\mathrm{N} \mathrm{mph} \times \frac{15}{60} \text { minutes }$

$\mathrm{D}=\mathrm{M} \times \frac{1}{12}+\mathrm{N} \times \frac{1}{4} \rightarrow \mathrm{D}=\frac{M}{12}+\frac{N}{4} \rightarrow \mathrm{D}=\frac{M}{12}+\frac{3 N}{12} \rightarrow 12 \mathrm{D}=\mathrm{M}+3 \mathrm{N} \text { miles }$

Hence, a) D = 4.34 miles, b) D = 4.25 miles and c) 12D = M + 3N miles.

Determine if the function below is continuous.

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe at the point of (1,1) there is a distinct sort of point where it looks like an edge or corner which means that it is not continuous.

Continuous means that there is no abrupt changes (google) and im sure you know this already (im just saying no offence to anyone's intelligence)

Taking a test i don’t know anything about please help

Answer:

See below for answers and explanations

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Problem 4:</u>

The line of regression is $\hat y = a+bx$ where:

$a=\overline y-b \overline x$

$b=\frac{r*s_y}{s_x}$

We are given that $\overline y=75$ , $s_y=8$ , $\overline x=280$ , $s_x=30$ , and $r=0.60$ , therefore our slope, $b$ , is:

$b=\frac{r*s_y}{s_x}$

$b=\frac{(0.60)(8)}{30}$

$b=0.16$

Therefore, the slope of the regression line is 0.16, which can be used along with the values of $\overline y$ and $\overline x$ to find the constant $a$ :

$a=\overline y-b \overline x$

$a=75-(0.16)(280)$

$a=30.2$

This means our final regression line is $\hat y = 30.2 + 0.16x$

<u>Problem 5:</u>

The slope, $b=0.16$ , means that for every 1 point earned for a student's pre-exam total, their final exam score will increase by 0.16 points for each point they earned on the pre-exam.

<u>Problem 6:</u>

The y-intercept (or constant), $a=30.2$ , means that if a student's pre-exam total were 0, then they would expect to get a 30.2 on the final exam.

<u>Problem 7:</u>

$R^{2}=(0.60)^{2}=0.36=36\%$

<u>Problem 8:</u>

The fraction of variability (aka. coefficient of determination), $R^2$ , means that a certain proportion (or percentage) of the variance in the response variable can be explained by the explanatory variable. In context, this means that 36% of the variance in final exam scores can be explained by the pre-exam scores.

Answer:

Hope you understand, and never stop striving to learn!

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample mean is both values added together then divided by 2.

$46.63

The margin of error is the low value divided by the high value * 100% =76.8% (then you have to minus this from 100% so the margin of error is 23.2%)
