A scientist was studying the growth of

At the candy store there are 420 gumdrops and 280 chocolate bars, for a total of 700 candies all together. What is the ratio of

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

5 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of gumdrops = 420

Number of chocolate bars = 280

Total Number of candies = 700

To find:

The ratio of candies to chocolate bars = ?

Solution:

First of all, let us discuss the method to find the ratio of any two quantities.

Suppose, we need to find the ratio of two numbers $p$ and $q$ .

Then to find the ratio $p:q$ , we need to divide p by q and represent it in the simplest form $\frac{a}{b}$ such that a and b can not be divided further.

Here, to find the ratio of candies to chocolate bar:

$Ratio = \dfrac{\text{Number of candies}}{\text{Number of chocolate bars}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{700}{280}$

Here, we can simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 10 first:

$\dfrac{70}{28}$

Now, let us divide the numerator and denominator by 14:

$\dfrac{5}{2}$

So, the ratio is 5 : 2

Suppose an automobile manufacturer designed a radically new lightweight engine and wants to recommend the grade of gasoline that

Deffense [45]

Answer:

The F-statistic used to test the hypothesis that the miles per gallon for each fuel are the same is 4.07.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four treatments in the data given, i.e. k = 4.

Total number of observations, n = 12.

Note: degrees of freedom is denoted as df.

For treatment, the degrees of freedom = k-1 = 4-1 =3 df.

The total degrees of freedom = n-1 = 12-1 = 11 df.

The error in degrees of freedom = df (total) - df(treatment)

The error in degrees of freedom = 11 - 3 = 8 df

At α = 0.05 level,from the F table, the F-statistic with (3 , 8)df is 4.07.

Therefore, the F-statistic used to test the hypothesis that the miles per gallon for each fuel are the same is 4.07.

Callie has a new kitten. They can weigh 3 pounds less than half the weight of Callie‘s cat. Together the cat and kitten weigh 18

gavmur [86]

Answer:

The weight of cat is 14 pounds and the weight of kitten is 4 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Callie has a new kitten. It can weigh 3 pounds less than half the weight of Callie‘s cat. Together the cat and kitten weigh 18 pounds.

Now, to find the weight of each animal:

Let the cat's weight be $x.$

And the kitten weight = $\frac{x}{2} -3$

Total weight of cat and kitten = 18 pounds.

Now, to set an equation to get the weight of each animal:

$(x)+(\frac{x}{2}-3)=18$

$x+\frac{x}{2} -3=18$

$\frac{2x+x-6}{2} =18$

$\frac{3x-6}{2} =18$

Multiplying both sides by 2 we get:

$3x-6=36$

Adding both sides by 6 we get:

$3x=42$

Dividing both sides by 3 we get:

$x=14\ pounds.$

The weight of cat = 14 pounds.

Substituting the value of $x$ to get the kitten's weight:

$\frac{x}{2} -3\\\\=\frac{14}{2}-3\\\\=7-3\\\\=4.$

The kitten's weight = 4 pounds.

Therefore, the weight of cat is 14 pounds and the weight of kitten is 4 pounds.
