Answer:

hx = 1.5cm . x + 11 cm

126 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following ordered pairs (x, hx).

  • (1, 12.5 cm)
  • (2, 14 cm)
  • (3, 15.5 cm)

We are looking for a linear equation of the form:

hx = a.x + b

where,

a is the slope

b is the y-intercept

To find the slope, we take any pair of ordered values and replace their values in the following expression.

a=\frac{\Delta hx }{\Delta x} =\frac{h2-h1}{2-1} =\frac{14cm-12.5cm}{2-1} =1.5cm

Now, the general form is:

hx = 1.5cm . x + b

We can take any ordered pair and replace it in this expression to find b. Let's use h1.

h1 = 1.5cm . x1 + b

12.5 cm = 1.5 cm . 1 + b

b = 11 cm

The final equation is:

hx = 1.5cm . x + 11 cm

If hx = 200 cm,

200 cm = 1.5cm . x + 11 cm

189 cm = 1.5cm . x

x = 126

Answer:

Approximately 59 stacked cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Height of a cup = 12.5 cm,

Two stacked cups = 14 cm,

Three stacked cups = 15.5 cm,

........, so on,....

Thus, there is an AP that represents the given situation,

12.5, 14, 15.5,....

First term is, a = 12.5,

Common difference, d = 1.5 cm,

Thus, the height of x cups is,

h(x) = a+(x-1)d = 12.5 + (x-1)1.5 = 1.5x + 11

According to the question,

h(x) = 200

⇒ 1.5x + 11 = 200

⇒ 1.5x = 189

⇒ x = 59.3333333333 ≈ 59,

Hence, approximately 59 stacked cups will need.

Si elegimos un día de la semana al azar, ¿qué probabilidad hay de que sea fin de semana (ya sabemos que hay dos días…)?
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

La probabilidad que hay de que sea fin de semana es \frac{2}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

La Probabilidad es la mayor o menor posibilidad de que ocurra un determinado suceso. En otras palabras, la probabilidad establece una relación entre el número de sucesos favorables y el número total de sucesos posibles. Entonces, la probabilidad de un suceso cualquiera A se define como el cociente entre el número de casos favorables (número de casos en los que puede ocurrir o no el suceso A) y el número total de casos posibles. Esta se denomina Ley de Laplace.

P(A)=\frac{numero de casos favorables}{numero de casos posibles}

En este caso:

  • número de casos favorables: 2 (cantidad de días del fin de semana)
  • número de casos posibles: 7 (cantidad de días totales en la semana)

Reemplazando:

P(A)= \frac{2}{7}

<u><em>La probabilidad que hay de que sea fin de semana es </em></u>\frac{2}{7}<u><em></em></u>

A geologist noticed that a land along a fault line moved 24.8 centimeters over the past 175 years . On average, how much did the
olasank [31]

Answer:

On average, the land moved 0,14 cm each year.

Step-by-step explanation:

To know how much did, on average, the land move,  we should divide the total number of cm over the total number of years:

x=24.8 cm/175 years

x=0,1417 cm each year

If we divide years over cm we will get x in years each cm, which is wrong.

Because the problem asks for the answer rounded to the hundredths place:

x= 0,14 cm each year
