Answer:

The answer is 9.725

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the mixed fraction $9\frac{29}{40}$

First we will concert this to improper fraction.

$\frac{40(9)+29}{40}$

= $\frac{389}{40}$

Now we will divide this using long division or calculator and get the answer 9.725.

Answer:

The given fraction can be written as decimal 9.725

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question.

We are given a fraction. We have to write the fraction in decimal form.

The given fraction is:

$9\displaystyle\frac{29}{40}$

First converting the mixed fraction into improper fraction, we have:

$9\displaystyle\frac{29}{40}\\\\=\frac{40\times 9 + 29}{40} = \frac{389}{40}$

Now, we have obtained the improper fraction.

Now, we can use the long division method to perform the division.

The decimal form of the given fraction is :

$\displaystyle\frac{389}{40} = 9.725$

A paper company needs to ship paper to a large printing business. The paper will be shipped in small boxes and large boxes. The

Delvig [45]

10 small boxes and 11 large boxes were shipped.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total boxes shipped = 21

Total volume of shipped boxes = 342 cubic feet

Volume of each small box = 10 cubic feet

Volume of each large box = 22 cubic feet

Let,

Number of small boxes = x

Number of large boxes = y

According to given statement;

x+y=21 Eqn 1

10x+22y=342 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 10

$10(x+y=21)\\10x+10y=210\ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

$(10x+22y)-(10x+10y)=342-210\\10x+22y-10x-10y=132\\12y=132$

Dividing both sides by 12

$\frac{12y}{12}=\frac{132}{12}\\y=11$

Putting y=11 in Eqn 1

$x+11=21\\x=21-11\\x=10$

10 small boxes and 11 large boxes were shipped.

The production planner for Fine Coffees, Inc. Produces two coffee blends: American (A) and British (B). He can only get 300 poun

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

P=2A+B where:

A= # of pounds of American blend and

B= # of pounds of British blend

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a linear programming problem. In order to solve it we need to determine how we are going to use the provided data and we need to keep in mind what we need to maximize (or minimize depending on the problem)

So, the problem states that "The goal of Fine Coffees, Inc. Is to maximize profits." This last sentence will tell us what the objective function will be. The objective function must model the desired value we want to maximize. So the objective function should represent the profits of selling the two tipes of cofee blends.

So this is the data the problem gives us:

"He can only get 300 pounts of Colombian beans per week and 200 pounts of Dominican beans per week." This part or the problem is talking about the amount of coffee beans he can get depending on its type. This will help us find the restrictions for our linear programming problem, so they are not necessary to state the objective function. Next it states:

"Each pount of American blend cofee requires 12 oz of Colombian beans and 4 oz. of Dominican beans, while a pound of British blend coffee uses 8 oz of each type of bean." Again, this data will help us find the restrictions for our linear programming problem, since they will tell us how much coffe we can manufacture, so they are not needed to find the objective function.

The next part states: "Profits for the American blend are $2.00 per pound, and profits for the British blend are $1.00 per pound." Now, we are interested in this part since it's talking about profits, which is what we need to maximize.

We set A to be the number of pounds of American blend and B to be the number of pounds of British blend. So the profit for American blend is found by using the following equation:

$P_{American}=$2.00*A$

And the profit for the British blend is found by using the following equation:

$P_{British}=$1.00*B$

so the total profit is found by adding the two given profits, so we get:

$P_{total}=P_{American}+P_{British}$

$P_{total}=$2.00A+$1.00B$

which can be simplified to:

P=2A+B

which is our objective function.

A scientist counts 25 bacteria present in a culture and finds that the number of bacteria triples each hour. The function y = 25

Anvisha [2.4K]

$y = 25\cdot~3^x\\ \\ 1170 = 25\cdot~3^x\\ \\ \frac{1170}{25} = 3^x\\ \\ \frac{243}{5} = 3^x\\ \\ log\ \frac{243}{5} = log~3^x\\ \\ log~243-log~5=x~log~3\\ \\ 
 log~3^5-log~5=x~log~3\\ \\ 5~log~3-log~5 = x~log~3\\ \\ 5(0,48)-0,70= 0,48x\\ \\ 2,4-0,7 = 0,48x\\ \\ 1,7=0,48x\\ \\ x=\frac{1,7}{0,48}\\ \\ \large{\boxed{x=3,54\ h}}$
