Given:
3 teaspoons of salt for every 5 cups of flour.

How much salt is needed for 15 cups of flour?

This is a proportion problem:
a/b = c/d where ad = bc

3/5 = x/15
3*15 = 5x
45 = 5x
45/5 = x
9 = x

C. 9 teaspoons of salt is needed for 15 cups of flour.

3/5 = 9/15
3*15 = 5*9
45 = 45

This is my question​
Talja [164]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

∆ABC is similar to ∆CDE. Therefore, the ratio of their corresponding sides are proportional.

This,

\frac{DE}{AB} = \frac{DC}{AC}

\frac{4}{3} = \frac{x + 3}{x + 1}

Solve for x

4(x + 1) = 3(x + 3)

4x + 4 = 3x + 9

4x + 4 - 4 = 3x + 9 - 4

4x = 3x + 5

4x - 3x = 3x + 5 - 3x

x = 5

Use the value of x to find AC and DC

AC = x + 1 = 5 + 1 = 6

DC = x + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8

Match each trigonometric function with its Unit Circle definition. Note that Angle A is correctly oriented for the Unit Circle d
PtichkaEL [24]
The first diagram below shows a circle with a radius of 1 (unit circle). The circle is drawn on a Cartesian graph with (0,0) as the center of the circle.

From the second diagram, we can determine the value of sin(Θ) = y
and cos(Θ) = x

We can further deduce that
tan(Θ) = \frac{y}{x}
sec(Θ) = \frac{1}{cos(Θ)} = \frac{1}{x}
cosec(Θ) = \frac{1}{sin(Θ)} = \frac{1}{y}
cot(Θ) = \frac{cos(Θ)}{sin(Θ)} = \frac{x}{y}

A 12,000-lb killer whale might eat as much as 14,000 lb of fish per month (assume a 30-day month). If the average weight of a ce
brilliants [131]

Answer:

2196 fish

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of fish that the killer whale might eat in a month (30 days) = 14,000 lb

Weight of the fish that killer whale might eat in a day = \frac{14000}{30} = \frac{1400}{3} lb.

Average weight of the fish that killer whale eats = 3.4 oz

Since,

1 pound(lb) = 16 ounces(oz)

So,

Weight of the fish that killer whale might eat in a day in ounces(oz) = \frac{1400}{3} \times 16=\frac{22400}{3} oz

Since, a certain fish weighs 3.4 oz, in order to find the number of fish that killer whale must eat, we must divide the total weight in ounces by 3.4 ounces.

So, the number of fish that killer whale would eat = \frac{22400}{3} \div 3.4 = 2196 fish

Thus, the killer whale needs to eat 2196 fish.

Tim Worker is doing his budget. He discovers that the average electric bill for the year was $206.00 with a standard deviation o
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

  • -2.2
  • 1.4%
  • -0.6
  • 27.4%
  • 26%
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The z-value is computed from ...

... z = (x -µ)/σ

... z = (184 -206)/10 = -2.2 . . . . for $184

... z = (200 -206)/10 = -0.6 . . . . for $200

You can look up these values in a normal distribution table, or you can use an appropriate calculator to find the corresponding percentiles.

... -2.2 corresponds to the 1.390 percentile. (That amount of area is below -2.2 standard deviations from the mean.)

... -0.6 corresponds to the 27.425 percentile.

Subtracting the two percentages gives the percentage of expenses between $184 and $200. That number is 26.035% ≈ 26%.

_____

<em>Comment on the calculator display</em>

The difference that got cut off from the display in the attachment is ...

... 0.2603496703

The <em>normalcdf( )</em> function requires a lower limit. Using -8 standard deviations is effectively equivalent to -∞ for this purpose, as any lower number has no effect on the least-significant digits of the result.
