Ellie requires 280 kg, Popcorn requires 70 kg and Zac requires 140 kg each week

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • Ellie, the elephant, eats 4 times as much as Popcorn, the pony
  • Zac, the zebra, eats twice as much as Popcorn
  • Altogether, they eat 490 kilograms of feed per week

We need to find how much feed each of them requires each week

Assume that Popcorn eats x kg each week

∵ Popcorn eats x kg each week

∵ Ellie eats 4 times as much as Popcorn

- Multiply x by 4 to find how much Ellie eats

∴ Ellie eats = 4 × x = 4 x kg

∵ Zac eats twice as much as Popcorn

- Multiply x by 2 o find how much Zac eats

∴ Zac eats = x × 2 = 2 x kg

- Add all of them to find how much they eat altogether

∴ Altogether eats = x + 4 x + 2 x = 7 x kg

∵ Altogether, they eat 490 kilograms of feed

- Equate the sum of their eat by 490

∴ 7 x = 490

- Divide both sides by 7

∴ x = 70

∵ Ellie eats 4 x

∴ Ellie eats = 4(70) = 280 kg

∵ Popcorn eats x

∴ Popcorn eats = 70 kg

∵ Zac eats 2 x

∴ Zac eats = 2(70) = 140 kg

Ellie requires 280 kg, Popcorn requires 70 kg and Zac requires 140 kg each week

X+2y=9 and x=2y+1<br><br>helppppppppppppppppp meeeeereeer​
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer: y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to use systems of equations, basically since we know what x equals, we plug that into first equation so:

since x=2y+1,

we can say that:

(2y+1)+2y=9

then we solve this equation,

first we expand the brackets- 2y+1+2y=9,

then we combine like terms- 4y+1=9

then we take 1 away from both sides- 4y=8

then we divided both sides by 4

y=2

Hope this helps xx

The number of responses to a survey are shown in the Pareto chart. The survey asked 1052 adults how they would grade the quality
Goryan [66]

Answer: (a) P(no A) = 0.935

              (b) P(A and B and C) = 0.0005

              (c) P(D or F) = 0.379

              (d) P(A or B) = 0.31

Step-by-step explanation: <u>Pareto</u> <u>Chart</u> demonstrates a relationship between two quantities, in a way that a relative change in one results in a change in the other.

The Pareto chart below shows the number of people and which category they qualified each public school.

(a) The probability of a person not giving an A is the difference between total probability (1) and probability of giving an A:

P(no A) = 1-\frac{68}{1052}

P(no A) = 1 - 0.065

P(no A) = 0.935

b) Probability of a grade better than D, is the product of the probabilities of an A, an B and an C:

P(A and B and C) = (\frac{68}{1052})(\frac{258}{1052})(\frac{327}{1052})

P(A and B and C) = \frac{5736888}{1164252608}

P(A and B and C) = 0.0005

c) Probability of an D or an F is the sum of probabilities of an D and of an F:

P(D or F) = \frac{269}{1052} +\frac{130}{1052}

P(D or F) = \frac{399}{1052}

P(D or F) = 0.379

d) Probability of an A or B is also the sum of probabilities of an A and of an B:

P(A or B) = \frac{68}{1052} +\frac{258}{1052}

P(A or B) = \frac{326}{1052}

P(A or B) = 0.31
