Answer:

Their goal was to collect 125 toys.

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{100 toys}{80  percent}

=

\frac{125 toys}{100percent}


Whatever you do to one side you must do to another. To get from 80 to 100% of your goal, you must multiply 80 by 1.25 . Because we did this to one side, we had to do it to the other. 100 toys multiplied by 1.25 is 125 toys.

A 15 ounce alloy containing 30% gold was mixed with an alloy containing 5% gold to get an alloy containing 20% gold. How many ou
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

4.5 % alloy

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = amt of 30% alloy

The resulting total is to be 25 oz, therefore:

(25-x) = amt of 5% alloy:

A typical mixture equation:

.30x + .05(25-x) = .20(25)

.30x + 1.25 - .05x = 5 .30x - .05x = 5 - 1.25

.25x = 3.75

x = 3.75%2F.25

x = 15 oz of 30% alloy required

then

25-15 = 10 oz of 5% alloy:

Check solution

.30(15) + .05(10) = .20(25)

4.5 + .5 = 5

Martha needs 28 strawberries for every 4 smoothies she makes. Complete the table using equivalent ratios.
S_A_V [24]

answer: 28: 4

21: 3

divide 28 by 4, and of course, do to the bottom what you do to the top. 4 divided by 4 is 1, and 28 divided by 4 is 7.

7: 4.

then, multiply by the number of smoothies.

for 3, it's 21: 3.

for 10, it's 70: 10.

nPr= \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

Where n is the sample of size and r the combination considered, so

n=45\\r=4\\45P4= \frac{45!}{(45-4)!}\\45P4 = 3575880

There is 3575880 possibilities to make leadership structures in that committee

Can someone pls explain this?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

A piecewise function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem you showed is a <em>piecewise function.</em>

In this problem, you have to plug in 3 for the value x.

However, if you take a look at the conditions that value x has, it never says that x can equal 3. <em>Thus, this function cannot be true.</em>

<em>Way to check this input is undefined: </em>

Plug in 3 for the variable x. On the first function, your output will be 4. On the second function, your output will be 8.

According to the definition of a function, a function can have many inputs but only one output. In this case, this function has one input, that is 3, but produces two outputs.
