Answer:

I do not know if that x is a multiply sign or a variable so I'm going to answer both

If the x is a multiplication sign then the answer is -20 = -9

If the x is a variable then the answer is x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(5 * -8) = -9

(1 * 5 * -8)/2 = -9

(5 * -8)/2 = -9

-40/2 = -9

-20 = -9

-20 ≠ -9

1/2(5x - 8) = -9

1(5x -8)/2 = -9

(5x - 8)/2 = -9

2((5x - 8)/2) = -9 * 2

2(5x - 8)/2 = -9 * 2

5x - 8 = -9 * 2

5x - 8 = -18

+8 +8

------------------

5x = -10

x = -10/5

x = -2

Wendy is creating a large soup based on a recipe. Her recipe calls for of a pint of milk, but she only has of a pint of milk, so

xeze [42]

Answer:

She can only make 5/6 of her recipe with the amount of milk that she has.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some data of this problem is missing, the data missing is:

Her recipe calls for 3/4 of a pint of milk and she only has 5/8 of a pint of milk.

Now, to know what's the portion she can do with that amount we need to divide the amount of milk she has by the total amount she needs:

$\frac{5}{8}$ ÷ $\frac{3}{4}$

When we divide we turn the second fraction upside down (the numerator becomes the denominator and viceversa) and multiply, thus:

$\frac{5}{8}$ ÷ $\frac{3}{4}=\frac{5}{8}$ × $\frac{4}{3} =\frac{20}{24}$

If we simplify this last expression we have:

$\frac{20}{24}=\frac{10}{12} =\frac{5}{6}$

Thus, she can only make 5/6 of her recipe with the amount of milk that she has.

<em>Note: In case the data missing is different, you can apply this same procedure with the fractions you have. </em>

The weights (to the nearest pound) of some boxes to be shipped are found to be:. Weight 65 68 69 70 71 72 90 95 frequency 1 2 5

Lena [83]

So the mean is 72.97

We need to subtract the mean from each value and square it.
(65-72.97)^2= 63.5209
(68-72.97)^2=24.7009
(69-72.97)^2=15.7609
(70-72.97)^2=8.8209
(71-72.97)^2= 3.8809
(72-72.97)^2=0.9409
(90-72.97)^2=290.0209
(95-72.97)^2=485.3209

Now we add up the new values ( also consider their frequency) and find their mean.
Add the values
63.5209+(2 •24.7009=49.4018)+(5•15.7609=78.8045)+(8•8.8209=70.5672)+(7•3.8809=27.1663)+(3•0.9409=2.8227)+(2•290.0209=580.0418)+(2•485.3209=970.6418)= 1,842.967
Divide by total numburs to find the mean
1,842.967/ 30=61.43223333

The standar deviation is the square root of the mean so is
Square root of 61.43223333=7.837871735
Round to the nearest tenth
Standard Deviation is 7.8
