1 answer:
Oxana [17]3 years ago
4 0

Step-by-step explanation:

1. She tried 16 cups of fruit juice and 4 cups of ginger ale. That was too fruity.

Here the taste was too fruity, and the ratio used is 16:4, so in the next attempt, she needs to use less than 16 cups of fruit juice and or more than 4 cups of ginger ale.

Here the quotient between the cups of juice and ginger is: 16/4 = 4

2. She tried 10 cups of fruit juice and 8 cups of ginger ale. That was too gingery.

Now, the ratio is too gingery, so she needs to use more fruit juice and less ginger.

Here the quotient between the cups of juice and ginger is: 10/8 = 1.25

so at this point, we know that if the quotient is 1.25 or less the mixture is too gingery, and if it is 4 or more is too fruity, so the range we need to point is (1.25, 4)

3. She tried 10 cups of fruit juice and 1 cup of ginger ale. That was too fruity.

Now the ratio is 10:1, she only diminished the amount of ginger used, now she needs to increment the number of cups of ginger used, but she needs to be careful to not use more than 7. (because she already knows that the ratio 10:8 ends being too gingery).

Here the quotient between the cups of juice and ginger is: 10/1 = 10, the range of interest still is: (1.25, 4)

4. She tried 8 cups of fruit juice and 4 cups of ginger ale. That was a little too gingery.

now the ratio is 8:4, and the mix ends being a little gingery.

This means that she may need to use a little bit less ginger or a little bit more juice.

Here the quotient between the cups of juice and ginger is: 8/4 = 2

So now the range of interest is (2, 4)

5: Now, knowing that the ratio 8:4 was a little bit gingery, it is a good idea to use a cup lees of ginger and test the mixture. If the mixture is still a little bit gingery, you can add a cup of juice, in this case, the ratio will be 8:3

If when you remove the first cup of ginger, the mixture now is a little bit juicy, you can add again the cup of ginger and a cup of juice, making the ratio 9:4

Which of the following is not a tool that can be used in a true Geometric construction? a)Protractor b)Compass c)Straightedge
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

A) Protractor

Step-by-step explanation:

In Mathematics, geometric constructions refers to the drawing of geometric shapes, lines and angles with the exclusive aid of a pencil, straightedge/ruler and a pair of compass.

The pencil is the major drawing tool during the construction while the pair of compass and straightedge are used to construct arcs/circles and straight lines respectively. Note that, a PROTRACTOR is not needed in a geometric construction because length or angle measurements are prohibited.

Tatami mats are used as a floor covering in japan. One possible layout uses four identical rectangular mats and one square mat,
Maksim231197 [3]

a) Given

Total area = 81 feet squared.

 Let the area of the square mat = x feet.

From question, area of the rectangular mat is twice that of square mat.

 So, the area of the rectangular mat = 2 x feet.

Now,

Total area = 81 feet squared

Then,

      4(2 x) + x = 81\\ \\ 9 x = 81\\ \\  x = \frac{81}{9}\\ \\ x = 9\\

Hence  the area of the one rectangular mat = 2*9 = 18 feet squared

b) Let the width of the rectangular mat = y feet.

  Then length of the mat = 2 y feet.

   Area of the rectangle = 2 y* y = 2 y^{2}

   and area of rectangle = 18 feet squared.

   So,

 2 y^{2} = 18\\ y^{2} = 9\\ y= \pm3\\

Width can not be negative.

Hence, the width of the rectangular mat = 3 feet

and  length of the rectangular mat = 3*2 = 6 feet

A smaller square is located inside a larger square. the length of the smaller square is 7 cm, and the length of the square is 12
patriot [66]
Let S=larger square side and s=smaller square side.  The area between the larger and smaller is simple the larger area minus the smaller area.  The area of any square being s^2.  So our remaining area is:

A=S^2-s^2

A=144-49=95 cm^2

A set X consists of all real numbers greater than or equal to 1. Use set-builder notation to define X.
vitfil [10]

Theory:

The standard form of set-builder notation is <span>
 
{ x | “x satisfies a condition” } </span>

This set-builder notation can be read as “the set of all x such that x (satisfies the condition)”.

For example, { x | x > 0 }  is equivalent to “the set of all x such that x is greater than 0”.

 

Solution:

In the problem, there are 2 conditions that must be satisfied:

<span>1st: x must be a real number</span>

In the notation, this is written as “x ε R”. Where ε means that x is “a member of” and R means “Real number”

 

<span>2nd: x is greater than or equal to 1</span>

This is written as “x ≥ 1”

 

Answer:

Combining the 2 conditions into the set-builder notation:

<span>X = { x | x ε R and x ≥ 1 } </span>
