Answer:

5 cakes


hope it helps

Step-by-step explanation:

if one cake feed 14 people and you are tying to fine out how many cakes you need to feed 60 people you would have to divide 60 by 14

1 cake = 14 people

? cakes = 60 people

60 ÷ 14 = 4.28

so in order to have enough for 60 people you need to round so you would need 5 cakes

to check you answer you can multiply 5 by 14 and you answer should be the amount of people

5 x 14 = 70

why  cant it be 4? well because if you buy 4 cakes there wont be enough for 60 people and to make sure it wont be enough you can multiply 4 x 14

4 x 14 = 56

so 4 cakes only feeds 56 people so that is why your answer is 5 cakes are needed

Answer:

\frac{5}{4}+or-\frac{3i\sqrt{7} }{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this equation with the quadratic formula which is:

m_{1,2}=\frac{-b+or-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}

All you need to do is rearrange the equation (add -\frac{11}{2} to both sides and then multiply both sides by 2) to get:

2m^2-5m+11=0

From this new equation, we can easily see that a = 2, b = -5, and c = 11 AND you don't have to work with as many fractions. Substitute the values for a, b, and c into the quadratic formula to get:

m_{1,2}=\frac{5+or-\sqrt{(-5)^{2}-4(2)(11) } }{2(2)}

That simplifies to:

\frac{5}{4}+or-\frac{\sqrt{25-88} }{4}

Which simplifies even further to:

\frac{5}{4}+or-\frac{\sqrt{-63} }{4}

Which gets you:

\frac{5}{4}+or-\frac{3i\sqrt{7} }{4}

P.S. The plus-minus sign wasn't working for me, so I had to just write, "+or-". I hope that didn't make it too confusing for you.

P.P.S. Hope this helps :) Don't forget to mark Brainliest if it did.

Suppose you are conducting a survey about the amount grocery store baggers are tipped for helping customers to their cars .for a
ELEN [110]

Using the Empirical Rule and the Central Limit Theorem, we have that:

  • About 68% of the sample mean fall with in the intervals $1.64 and $1.82.
  • About 99.7% of the sample mean fall with in the intervals $1.46 and $2.

<h3>What does the Empirical Rule state?</h3>

It states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

  • Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
  • Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of  the mean.
  • Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

<h3>What does the Central Limit Theorem state?</h3>

By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sample means of size n has standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

In this problem, the standard deviation of the distribution of sample means is:

s = \frac{0.657}{\sqrt{50}} = 0.09

68% of the means are within 1 standard deviation of the mean, hence the bounds are:

  • 1.73 - 0.09 = $1.64.
  • 1.73 + 0.09 = $1.82.

99.7% of the means are within 3 standard deviations of the mean, hence the bounds are:

  • 1.73 - 3 x 0.09 = $1.46.
  • 1.73 + 3 x 0.09 = $2.

Learning task 1: find the value of the expression given the value of the variables 3x + 5 x = 2 5xy + x - 4 , x = -3 and y = 5
olasank [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+5x=25xy+x-4

8x=25xy+x-4

8(-3)=25(-3)(5)+(-3-4)

-24=25(-15)+(-7)

-24= -375-7

-24= -382

if the question is right that you asked, i mean the = sign then the solution is will be come like this but if there is no = sign then you can get the solution by subtracting -24-382= -406
