Hello!

Let's find what 1/8 of 8 kilograms is, because that'll help us find 6/8 of them.

Now, you can find 1/8 of 8 kilograms using many different ways, but I just prefer this one.

8 ÷ 8 = 1

Multiply this by the numerator of the fraction that represents how much that guests ate.

1 × 6 = 6

ANSWER:

The guests ate 6 kilograms of the food.

They answer is they ate 6 kilos! of the 8 kilos because you have to reduce 6/8 to 3/4 and 3/4 of 8 is 6.

Two spray paint machines are used to paint different portions of a large wall. The first machine (nicknamed "Paint Pro") is used
jonny [76]

Answer: The answer is 30 sq.ft/min and 25 sq.ft/min.


Step-by-step explanation:  Given that there are two spray paint machines. The first machine (nicknamed "Paint Pro") is used for two hours and the second machine (nicknamed "Goldilocks") is used for an hour and a half. When they are working at the same time, they can paint 55 square feet per minute and together they painted 5850 square feet of wall.

Let 'x' and 'y' sq.ft/min be the portion of the wall painted by Paint Pro and Goldilocks respectively.

Then, according to the question, we have

x+y=55,\\\\120x+90y=5850~~\Rightarrow 4x+3y=195.

Multiplying first equation by 4 and subtracting the second equation from it, we have

4y-3y=220-195\\\\\Rightarrow y=25,

and

x=55-25=30.

Thus, Paint Pro will paint 30 sq.feet per minute and Goldilocks will paint 25 sq.ft per minute.

The scores on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale are approximately Normal with mean = 100 and standard deviation = 15The prop
gregori [183]

Answer:

b) 0.025

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 100, \sigma = 15

The proportion of adults with scores above 130 is closest to

This proportion is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 130. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{130 - 100}{15}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a pvalue of 0.9772

1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228

Closest to 0.025

So the correct answer is:

b) 0.025

Let f(x) = 3x² + 1 and g(x) = x +4. <br><br> Find (f +g)(x) <br><br> and (f -g)(x).
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

(f + g)(x) = 3x² + x + 5

(f - g)(x) = 3x² - x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(f + g)(x) → f(x) + g(x) → <u>3x² + 1</u> + <u>x + 4</u>

Combine like terms and you get: 3x² + x + 5

(f - g)(x) → f(x) - g(x) → <u>3x² + 1</u> - (<u>x + 4</u>)

Remember to distribute the neg. everything in the parentheses. Combine like terms and you get: 3x² - x - 3

Suppose that y varies inversely with x. Write a function that models the inverse function. x = 15 when y = 2.
shutvik [7]
Inverse variation means y=k/x (direct variation is y=kx)

You are given a point, so you can solve for the constant k...

2=k/15

k=30 so the function is:

y=30/x
