A company did a quality check on all the packs of roasted almonds it manufactured. Each pack of roasted almonds is targeted to w

eigh 21.25 oz. A pack must weigh within 0.24 oz of the target weight to be accepted. What is the range of rejected masses, x, for the manufactured roasted almonds?
x < 21.01 or x > 21.49 because |x - 0.24| + 21.25 > 0

x < 21.25 or x > 21.49 because |x - 21.25| > 0.24

x < 21.01 or x > 21.49 because |x - 21.25| > 0.24

x < 21.25 or x > 21.49 because |x - 0.24| + 21.25 > 0

The <em>correct answer</em> is:


x < 21.01 or x > 21.49 because |x - 21.25| > 0.24 .


Explanation:


Let x be the weight of a given pack of roasted almonds. We know that the difference between x, the actual weight, and the target weight, 21.25, must be no more than 0.24. Since it could be heavier or lighter than the target weight, we use absolute value:


|x-21.25| ≤ 0.24


However, we want to know the weights of the packs that will be <em>rejected</em>. This changes our inequality; now we want the ones that are <em>more than</em> 0.24 different:


|x-21.25| > 0.24


To solve this, we must set up two inequalities (absolute value could mean heavier than or lighter than, we must account for both):


x - 21.25 > 0.24 or x - 21.25 < -0.24


When we set this up, we change the answer to a negative in the second inequality. Due to the rules of inequalities, when we change the sign of the number, we must change the inequality sign as well. This is why the second inequality has a less than rather than a greater than.


To solve each inequality, we will add 21.25 to each side:


x - 21.25 + 21.25 > 0.24 + 21.25 or x - 21.25 + 21.25 < -0.24 + 21.25

x > 21.49 or x < 21.01


This makes the correct answer the third option.

Answer:

Option C -  x or x>21.49 because  |x-21.25|> 0.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Each pack of roasted almonds is targeted to weigh 21.25 oz. A pack must weigh within 0.24 oz of the target weight to be accepted.

To find : What is the range of rejected masses, x, for the manufactured roasted almonds?

Solution :

Let x be the weight of a given pack of roasted almonds.

Each pack of roasted almonds is targeted to weigh 21.25 oz.

A pack must weigh within 0.24 oz of the target weight to be accepted.

This implies |x-21.25| > 0.24

We have to find the range of rejected masses, x, for the manufactured roasted almonds.

We know, |x-a| >b

\Rightarrow -b

So,  |x-21.25| >0.24

\Rightarrow -0.24>(x-21.25)>0.24

-0.24>x-21.25 or x-21.25>0.24

x or x>21.49

Therefore, The range of rejected masses is x or x>21.49 because  |x-21.25|> 0.24

Hence, Option C is correct.

Triangle ABC has side lengths a= 24, b= 40, and c= 55. What is the measure of angle C? 83.6° 116.2° 23.0° 40.7°
Harlamova29_29 [7]
<h3>Answer:  116.2°</h3>

Work Shown:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab\cos(C)\\\\55^2 = 24^2 + 40^2 - 2*24*40\cos(C)\\\\3025 = 576 + 1600 - 1920\cos(C)\\\\3025 = 2176 - 1920\cos(C)\\\\3025 - 2176  = -1920\cos(C)\\\\849  = -1920\cos(C)\\\\-1920\cos(C) = 849\\\\\cos(C) = (849)/(-1920)\\\\\cos(C) \approx -0.4421875\\\\C \approx \cos^{-1}(-0.4421875)\\\\C \approx 116.243535748231^{\circ}\\\\C \approx 116.2^{\circ}\\\\

The first equation is one of the three variations for the Law of Cosines.

Four photographers are taking pictures at a school dance. Photographer A takes 25 of the pictures, Photographer B takes 4%, Phot
amm1812

Answer:

1) Photographer B (4%)

2) Photographer D (27%)

3) Photographer C (29%)

4) Photographer A (40%)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>

Four photographers are taking pictures at a school dance. Photographer A takes 2/5 of the pictures, Photographer B takes 4% , Photographer C takes 0.29 , and Photographer D takes 27/100 . Which choice lists the photographers in order from least to greatest by the amount of pictures they take?

we know that

1) Photographer A takes 2/5 of the pictures

That means

the amount of pictures take by photographer A in percent form is equal to multiply the fraction by 100

2/5(100)=40\% ---> percentage form

2) Photographer B takes 4%

3) Photographer C takes 0.29

That means

the amount of pictures take by photographer C in percent form is equal to multiply the decimal number by 100

0.29(100)=29\% ---> percentage form

4) Photographer D takes 27/100

That means

the amount of pictures take by photographer D in percent form is equal to multiply the fraction by 100

(27/100)(100)=27\% ---> percentage form

Lists the photographers in order from least to greatest by the amount of pictures they take

1) Photographer B (4%)

2) Photographer D (27%)

3) Photographer C (29%)

4) Photographer A (40%)

Since the triangles are similar, the ratio of the sides of larger triangle to the smaller triangle is a constant.

That constant = \frac{15}{9} =  \frac{5}{3}

Since the sides are in that constant proportion, the area of the triangles will also be in proportion.

(Area of larger triangle) over (Area of smaller triangle) = \frac{5}{3}

\frac{206}{x} =  \frac{5}{3}

x = 206 *  \frac{3}{5} =  \frac{618}{5} = 123.6 ≈ 124

Hence, to the nearest whole number the area of smaller triangle is 124 <span>ft</span>²<span>.</span>
