Answer as a mixed number = 46 & 1/4

Answer as a decimal = 46.25

===============================================

Work Shown:

9 & 1/4 = 9 + 1/4 = 9 + 0.25 = 9.25

1/5 = 0.2

A bag of cashews weighs 9.25 pounds and one serving is 0.2 pounds.

Let x be the number of servings

1 serving = 0.2 pounds

x servings = 0.2x pounds after multiplying both sides by x

0.2x pounds represents the total bag's weight so,

0.2x = 9.25

x = 9.25/0.2

x = 46.25 answer in decimal form

x = 46 + 0.25

x = 46 + 1/4

x = 46 & 1/4 answer in mixed number form

This means we have 46 full servings plus an additional 1/4 of a serving.

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

$z =\frac{33.3- 34}{\frac{5}{\sqrt{54}}}= -1.028$

$z =\frac{34.3- 34}{\frac{5}{\sqrt{54}}}= 0.441$

An we can use the normal standard table and the following difference and we got this result:

$P(-1.028$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this statement to complete the problem "with a standard deviation 5 mpg"

We have the following info given:

$\mu = 34$ represent the mean

$\sigma= 5$ represent the deviation

We have a sample size of n = 54 and we want to find this probability:

$P(33.3 < \bar X< 34.3)$

And for this case since the sample size is large enough >30 we can apply the central limit theorem and then we can use this distribution:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu , \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

And we can use the z score formula given by:

$z=\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

And replacing we got:

$z =\frac{33.3- 34}{\frac{5}{\sqrt{54}}}= -1.028$

$z =\frac{34.3- 34}{\frac{5}{\sqrt{54}}}= 0.441$

An we can use the normal standard table and the following difference and we got this result:

$P(-1.028$

Click an item in the list or group of pictures at the bottom of the problem and, holding the button down, drag it into the corre

Novay_Z [31]

Answer: $3+\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following expression shown in the picture:

$\frac{7}{3-\sqrt{2} }$

You need to use a process called "Ratinalization".

By definition, using Rationalization you can rewrite the expression in its simplest form so there is not Radicals in its denominator.

Then, in order to simplify the expression, you can follow the following steps:

Step 1. You need to multiply the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by $3+\sqrt{2}$ , which is the conjugate of the denominator $3-\sqrt{2}$ .

Step 2. Then you must apply the Distributive property in the numerator.

Step 3. You must apply the following property in the denominator: $(a+b)(a-b) = a^2 - b^2$

Therefore, applying the procedure shown above, you get:

$=\frac{(7)(3+\sqrt{2})}{(3-\sqrt{2})(3+\sqrt{2})}=\frac{21+7\sqrt{2}}{3^2-(\sqrt{2})^2}=\frac{21+7\sqrt{2}}{9-2}=\frac{21+7\sqrt{2}}{7}$

Step 4. You can observe that the expression can be simplified even more. Since:

$\frac{a+b}{c}=\frac{a}{c}+\frac{b}{c}$

You get:

$\frac{21+7\sqrt{2}}{7}=\frac{21}{7}+\frac{7\sqrt{2}}{7}=3+\sqrt{2}$

Use slopes and y-intercepts to determine if the lines 5x-5y=-2 and -x+2y=4

HACTEHA [7]

The given pair of lines are not perpendicular.

The line is a curve showing the shortest distance between 2 points.

5x - 5y = -2 - - - - - (1)
Transform the equation into standard form,
5x + 2 = 5y
y = 5x /5 + 2/5
y = x + 2/5

The slope of equation 1 is $m_1 = 1$ and intercept c = 2 / 5

Similarly
x + 2y = 4 - - - - - - - -(2)
Transform it into standard form
y = -x/2 + 4 /2
y = -x / 2 + 2

Slope of the equation 2 $m_2$ = -1 / 2 and intercept c = 2
Slope of line 1 * slope of line 2 = 1 * -1/2 = -1/2

Since the lines are not perpendicular because the pair of lines does not satisfy the property of perpendicular lines i.e
$m_1*m_2 = -1$

Thus, the given pair of lines are not perpendicular.

6.8x+9.3 = -9.4+3,4(2-5x) 6.8x+9.3 = -9.4+6.8 -17 6.8x+9.3 = -2.6-17x

Advocard [28]

Answer:

x = -0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

From your last step:

6.8x + 9.3 = -2.6 - 17x

We have two terms with x in them on different sides of the equation, so we want to bring the 'x terms' over to the same side.

Add 17x to both sides of the equation.

6.8x + 17x + 9.3 = -2.6

Collect like terms

23.8x + 9.3 = -2.6

Subtract 9.3 from both sides

23.8x = -2.6 - 9.3

23.8x = -11.9

Divide both sides by 23.8

x = -0.5
