Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven that the lightest is 1.4 and the heaviest is 1.6, this implies that ALL the fruit must weigh between 1.4 and 1.6.

This also implies that the average weight of the fruit must also be between 1.4 lb and 1.6 lb.

recall that : average weight = total weight / number of fruit

we are given than total weight = 25.29 lb, so

average weight = 25.29 / number of fruit

Just go down the choices and test which choice gives an average weight between 1.4 and 1.6 lbs.

Choice A: number of fruit = 19

average = 25.29 / 19 = 1.33  (outside of range, not the answer)

Choice B: number of fruit = 17

average = 25.29 / 17 =1.49   (within range , possible answer)

Choice C: number of fruit = 10

average = 25.29 / 10 = 2.529 (outside of range, not the answer)

Choice D: number of fruit = 50

average = 25.29 / 50 = 0.5058  (outside of range, not the answer)

From the above, we can see that only B gives an average between 1.4 and 1.6 lb.

The slope of the line through the points is 2. Which statement describes how the slope relates to the height of the water in the
olga55 [171]
From the table we can conclude that after 2 minutes the height of the water is increased by 4.
Example: In minute 2 it was 8 inches, in minute 4 it was 12 inches. (12-8=4)
This means that if the height of the water is increased by 4 inches for 2 minutes, then for 1 minute is increased 4/2=2 inches.
The following s<span>tatement best describes how the slope relates to the height of the water in the pool:

5(-3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4 (4x +5) + 13
S_A_V [24]
Start off by distributing the numbers into the parentheses:

5(-3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4(4x + 5) + 13
-15x - 10 - (x - 3) = -16x - 20 + 13

(Note: It's super important to be careful when opening up negative parentheses! -(x-3) is not just - x - 3, it is actually -x + 3 since the negative is distributed in every number!)

-15x - 10 - x + 3 = -16x - 20 + 13
-16x - 7 = -16x - 7
-16x = -16x
0 = 0

There is an infinite number of solutions in this equation.

(When you get 0=0 when solving for a variable, that means that said variable will have infinite solutions, that is, any number plugged into the equation will work)

Pre calculus law of sines
lakkis [162]

Answer:

AB = 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

C = 59°

AC = 7

CD = 6

AB = ?

Apply the Law of Cosines, which is AB² = AC² + CD² - 2(AC)(CD)*Cos(C)

AB² = 7² + 6² - 2(7)(6)*Cos(59)

AB² = 85 - 43.26

AB² = 41.74

AB = √41.74

AB = 6.5 (nearest tenth)

Answer:

  • x = 15/p
  • x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Given</h3>
  • 4(px + 1)=64
<h3>Find</h3>
  • Solve for x
  • Find x when p = -5
<h3>Solution</h3>
  • 4(px + 1) = 64
  • 4(px + 1)/4 = 64/4
  • px + 1 = 16
  • px = 15
  • x = 15/p

<u>When p = -5, substitute p:</u>

  • x = 15/p
  • x = 15/(-5) = -3
