Answer:

  • 6 3-lb bags
  • 2 1-lb bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of 3-lb bags purchased. Then the total purchase was ...

  $2(8 -x) +$5.50(x) = $37

  16 +3.50x = 37 . . . . . . . . . divide by $, collect terms

  3.50x = 21 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 16

  21/3.50 = x = 6 . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

You bought 6 3-lb bags of peanuts and 2 1-lb bags.

1/4 + 5/12 =? Simplify your answer.
GrogVix [38]
1/4 + 5/12 = 3/12 + 5/12= 8/12 = 2/3

You must get the denominators the same so you multiply both 1 and 4 and you get 3/12. Then you add the two fractions and simplify it into 2/3

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: the normal curve can be used as an  approximation to the binomial probability considering the following condition: when the sample is large, in this case n=112

Step-by-step explanation:

for a binomial experiment to be approximated to normal distribution, the following conditions must be present:

i.  sample size must be large, in this case sample size is 112

ii.  the mean must be equal to np,where n is sample size and p is probability  of success

iii.  the standard deviation must be equal to npq,where q is the probability of failure

There are 60 minutes in an hour. The total number of minutes is a function of the number of hours, as shown in the table. Does t
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It represents a linear function because there is a constant rate of change.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, if the rate of change for y ( output value ) with respect to x ( input value ) remains constant for a function then it is called linear function.

Here, number of hours represents input value and minutes represents the output value,

Now, By the given table,

The function is passing through the points (1,60), (2,120), (3,180), (4,240) and (5,300),

Also,

⇒  The rate of change output value with respect to input value remains constant,

Hence, It represents a linear function because there is a constant rate of change.
