4.75 lbs of water and 0.25 lbs of sugar is needed to make 5% of syrup.

<u>Solution:</u>

Let us assume that x is the required pounds sugar to make 5% syrup

\Rightarrow\frac{x}{\text{total quantity}}=5\%

which is \frac{x}{5}=5\%

On solving we get,

\Rightarrow\frac{x}{5} =0.05 [5\%=\frac{5}{100}]

\Rightarrow x = 5\times0.05\rightarrow x=0.25

If the required sugar to make 5% syrup is 0.25 lbs then the remaining quantity in the total sugar syrup would be water. That is,

5 \text{ lbs }-0.25 \text{ lbs }=4.75 \text{ lbs }

So, the required amount is 0.25 lbs of sugar and 4.75 lbs of water.

19. Determine the number of five-letter code words that can be formed from the word mommy.
bija089 [108]

Answer:

20 unique words

Step-by-step explanation:

mommy is a 5 letter word. So initially we would think there are 5! = 120 words to spell from here. however, If we are looking for unique solutions, we need to consider that there are 3 m's. the multinomial theorem says that we should divide by each group of duplicates so 5!/(3!1!1!) = 5!/3! = 20 unique words

Darius is putting tiles on the roof of his house. After working for 3 1/3 hours, he has completed 4/5 of the roof. Can Darius pu
tangare [24]

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Darius is putting tiles on the roof of his house.

Darius had completed = $\frac{4}{5}$ th of the work

He takes time = $3 \frac{1}{3}$ hours to complete $\frac{4}{5}$ th of the work

The remaining work = $1 -\frac{4}{5}$

                                 $=\frac{5-4}{5}$

                                 $=\frac{1}{5}$

∴  Darius completes $\frac{4}{5}$ th of the work in = $\frac{10}{3}$ hours

                           So, $\frac{1}{5}$ th of the work in = $\frac{10}{3} \times \frac{5}{4} \times \frac{1}{5}$ hours

                                                                 $=\frac{10}{12}$ hours

Therefore total time taken to complete the work $=\frac{10}{3}+\frac{10}{12}$ hours

                                                                                  $=\frac{40+10}{12}$ hours

                                                                                  $=\frac{50}{12}$ hours

                                                                                  $=4\frac{2}{12}$ hours

                                                                                  $=4\frac{1}{6}$ hours

Thus, Darius continues to work at the same rate will not be able to complete the work in 4 hours.

PLS HELP TIMED EXAM plsss

Might be 134 because since angle 2 and 8 are lined up like that it is same side exterior angles which means they are supplementary from each other so they will equal 180. So I did 180-46 to get 134, I’m not sure if I’m correct
