Farmer frank owns a piece of grassland. The grass grows at a constant rate and each cow eats at a constant rate. 12 cows can eat

10 acres of grass in 28 days. 21 cows can eat 30 acres of grass in 63 days. How many cows can eat 72 acres of grass in 126 days?

Answer: There are 36 cows that can eaten 72 acres of grass in 126 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of grass in an acre initially.

Let y be the amount of grass grown in an acre per day.

Since we have given that

12 cows can eat 10 acres of grass in 28 days

12×28  = 10x + 10×28 y

336 = 10x + 280 y----------------------------(1)

Similarly,

21 cows can eat 30 acres of grass in 63 days.

21×63  = 30x + 30×63 y

1323 = 30x +1890 y ---------------------------(2)

So, by graphing method, we get the value of x and y

x=\dfrac{126}{5},\ y=\dfrac{3}{10}

So, we have,  72 acres of grass in 126 days, we need to find the number of cows.

So, it becomes,

c×126 = 72x + 72×126 y

126c=72\times \dfrac{126}{5}+72\times 126\times \dfrac{3}{10}\\\\126x=4536\\\\x=\dfrac{4536}{126}\\\\x=36

Hence, there are 36 cows that can eaten 72 acres of grass in 126 days.

There are three motors available to repair Ralph’s vacuum cleaner. Motor #1 has a 65% chance of breaking by the end of the week.
Orlov [11]

Answer:

0.619

Step-by-step explanation:

from the question we have the following data:

probability of motor 1 breaking = 65% = 0.65

probability of motor 2 breaking = 35% = 0.35

probability of motor 3 breaking = 5% = 0.05

since we have 3 motors the probability of any of them breaking down is  = \frac{1}{3}

but what the question requires from us is the conditional probability of the first one being installed

we have to solve this questions using bayes theorem

such that:

\frac{0.65*\frac{1}{3} }{0.65*\frac{1}{3}+0.35*\frac{1}{3}+0.05*\frac{1}{3}   }

= \frac{0.2167}{0.2167+0.1167+0.0167}

= \frac{0.2167}{0.3501}

= 0.618966

approximately 0.619

therefore the conditional probability ralph installed the first motor is 0.619

Researchers are investigating whether people who exercise with a training partner have a greater increase, on average, in target
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

1 - If method I is used, population of generalization will include all those people who may have varying exercising habits or routines.  They may or may not have a regular excersing habit.  In his case sample is taken from a more diverse population

2 - Population of generalization will include people who will have similar excersing routines and habits if method II is used since sample is choosen from a specific population

Step-by-step explanation:

Past excercising habits may affect the change in intensity to a targeted excersise in different manner. So in method I a greater diversity is included and result of excersing with or without a trainer will account for greater number of variables than method II.

Solve each Inequality. Write your answer 2.) x + 9 > 16 o​
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

o< 1/16x + 9/16

Step-by-step explanation:

x+9>16o

Flip the equation.

16o<x+9

Divide both sides by 16.

16o/16 < x+9/16

o< 1/16x + 9/16
