A contractor combined x tons of a gravel mixture that contained 10 percent gravel G, by weight, with y tons of a mixture that co
White raven [17]

Answer:

The value of x would be \frac{3}{5}y or \frac{3}{8}z

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

x tons of 10% gravel G mixture is mixed with y ton of 2% gravel G to obtain  5% gravel mixture,

Thus, gravel G in x ton + gravel in y ton = gravel G in the resultant mixture,          

⇒ 0.1x + 0.02y = 0.05(x+y),

0.1x - 0.05x = 0.05y - 0.02y

0.05x = 0.03y

\implies x = \frac{0.03}{0.05}y=\frac{3}{5}y----(1)

Now, resultant mixture is z ton,

i.e. z=x+y

\implies y = z - x

From equation (1),

x=\frac{3}{5}(z-x) = \frac{3}{5}z-\frac{3}{5}x

x+\frac{3}{5}x=\frac{3}{5}z

\frac{8}{5}x=\frac{3}{5}z

x=\frac{3}{8}z

The average amount of time that students use computers at a university computer center is 36 minutes with a standard deviation o
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

2119 students use the computer for more than 40 minutes. This number is higher than the threshold estabilished of 2000, so yes, the computer center should purchase the new computers.

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 = 36, \sigma = 5

The first step to solve this question is finding the proportion of students which use the computer more than 40 minutes, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 40. So

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

Z = \frac{40 - 36}{5}

Z = 0.8

Z = 0.8 has a pvalue of 0.7881.

1 - 0.7881 = 0.2119

So 21.19% of the students use the computer for longer than 40 minutes.

Out of 10000

0.2119*10000 = 2119

2119 students use the computer for more than 40 minutes. This number is higher than the threshold estabilished of 2000, so yes, the computer center should purchase the new computers.

a baseball team paid eight times as much to their ace pitcher as they paid to their shortstop. if they paid 81 million for the t
GenaCL600 [577]

x +y = 81 million

 let x be the short stop and y be the pitcher

 so pitcher (y) gets 2 times what the the shortstop (x) gets so y = 2x

 so x + 2x = 81 million

3x = 81

x = 27

 the short stop makes 27 million

 the pitcher makes 54 million

Determine whether this system of equations has one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions.
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The only solution I see is for x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

y=8x+2

y=-8x+2

y=y so substitute:

8X+2=-8X+2

Subtract 2 from each side

8X=-8X

divide each side by 8

x=-x

The only solution I see is for x=0
