So, The Crayola Crayon company can make 2400 crayons in 4 minutes. In other words, every 4 minutes they can make 2400 crayons, right? So, in 15 minutes how many would they have made? Well, what we do is we divide 15 by 4 which is 3.75. Then we multiply the result, 3.75, by 2400. 3.75 * 9000. So, in 15 minutes, Crayola  would have made 900 crayons!

4/2400 = 15/x

Step 1: Cross Multiply

4/2400 = 15/x

4 * x = (15) * (2400)

4x = 36000

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2

4x/4 = 36000/2

x = 9000

The answer is, 9000!!! :D

You always need some time to get up after the alarm has rung. You get up from 10 to 20 minutes later, with any time in that inte
Mama L [17]

Answer:

a) P(x<5)=0.

b) E(X)=15.

c) P(8<x<13)=0.3.

d) P=0.216.

e) P=1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function:

f(x)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{10},\, \, \, 10\leq x\leq 20 } \atop {0, \, \, \, \, \, \,  otherwise }} \right.

a)  We calculate  the probability that you need less than 5 minutes to get up:

P(x

Therefore, the probability is P(x<5)=0.

b) It takes us between 10 and 20 minutes to get up. The expected value is to get up in 15 minutes.

E(X)=15.

c) We calculate  the probability that you will need between 8 and 13 minutes:

P(8\leq x\leq 13)=P(10\leqx\leq 13)\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\int_{10}^{13} f(x)\, dx\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\int_{10}^{13} \frac{1}{10} \, dx\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\frac{1}{10} \cdot [x]_{10}^{13}\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\frac{1}{10} \cdot (13-10)\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\frac{3}{10}\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=0.3

Therefore, the probability is P(8<x<13)=0.3.

d)  We calculate the probability that you will be late to each of the 9:30am classes next week:

P(x>14)=\int_{14}^{20} f(x)\, dx\\\\P(x>14)=\int_{14}^{20} \frac{1}{10} \, dx\\\\P(x>14)=\frac{1}{10} [x]_{14}^{20}\\\\P(x>14)=\frac{6}{10}\\\\P(x>14)=0.6

You have 9:30am classes three times a week.  So, we get:

P=0.6^3=0.216

Therefore, the probability is P=0.216.

e)  We calculate the probability that you are late to at least one 9am class next week:

P(x>9.5)=\int_{10}^{20} f(x)\, dx\\\\P(x>9.5)=\int_{10}^{20} \frac{1}{10} \, dx\\\\P(x>9.5)=\frac{1}{10} [x]_{10}^{20}\\\\P(x>9.5)=1

Therefore, the probability is P=1.

Bakery has bought 250 pounds of muffin dough. They want to make waffles or muffins in half-dozen packs out of it. Half a dozen o
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

250 batches of muffins and 0 waffles.

Step-by-step explanation:

-1

If we denote the number of batches of muffins as "a" and the number of batches of waffles as "b," we are then supposed to maximize the profit function

P = 2a + 1.5b

subject to the following constraints: a>=0, b>=0, a + (3/4)b <= 250, and 3a + 6b <= 1200. The third constraint can be rewritten as 4a + 3b <= 1000.

Use the simplex method on these coefficients, and you should find the maximum profit to be $500 when a = 250 and b = 0. So, make 250 batches of muffins, no waffles.

You use up all the dough, have 450 minutes left, and have $500 profit, the maximum amount.
