Answer:

She needs 112 ounces of Solution A and 48 ounces of Solution B.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a is the ounces of Solution A, and b is the ounces of Solution B, then:

a + b = 160

0.45a + 0.95b = 0.60(160)

Solve the system of equations.  Using substitution:

0.45a + 0.95(160 − a) = 0.60(160)

0.45a + 152 − 0.95a = 96

56 = 0.5a

a = 112

b = 48

She needs 112 ounces of Solution A and 48 ounces of Solution B.

What is the value of |-3.25| And |-4.25|
Yakvenalex [24]

The values are |-3.25| = 3.25  and  |-4.25| = 4.25

<h3>How to determine the values of the expressions?</h3>

The expressions are given as

|-3.25| and |-4.25|

The above expressions are absolute value expressions

And as a general rule, an absolute value expression, when evaluated must follow the following rule

|±a|  = a

Using the above as a guide, we have

|-3.25| = 3.25

Also, we have

|-4.25| = 4.25

Hence, the values of the expressions are |-3.25| = 3.25  and  |-4.25| = 4.25

Question Help When purchasing bulk orders of batteries, a toy manufacturer uses this acceptance sampling plan: Randomly select a
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here X no of defective batteries is binomial with p = 1% = 0.01

q = 1-p=0.99

(Because each battery is independent and there are only two outcomes)

Prob that shipment is accepted is for n =36, P(X\leq 2)

=P(x=0,1,2)

= \Sigma^2_0  36Cr (0.01)^r (0.99)^{36-r}

= 0.9944

gladu [14]
To find the average amount, you must add all of the pieces, let's say you get 3/8. and there is 4 pieces. the average amount would be 3/4. So I this question the average amount of salt would be 9/14 of salt.
