A cosmetic company makes three bottles of scented lotion using the recipe shown. Each bottle holds a different amount of lotion.

seropon [69]

Answer:

Part 1) Bottle 1 (vanilla=1,almond=3,pineapple=4)

Part 2) Bottle 2 (vanilla=2,almond=6,pineapple=8)

Part 3) Bottle 3 (vanilla=1 1/2,almond=4 1/2,pineapple=6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the amount of vanilla sent

y ----> amount of almond sent

z ----> the amount of pineapple sent

we know that

$x:y:z=\frac{1}{8}:\frac{3}{8}:\frac{1}{2}$

so

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1}{8}:\frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1}{3}$

$x=\frac{y}{3}$ -----> equation A

$\frac{x}{z}=\frac{1}{8}:\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{x}{z}=\frac{1}{4}$

$x=\frac{1}{4}z$ -----> equation B

$\frac{y}{z}=\frac{3}{8}:\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{y}{z}=\frac{3}{4}$

$y=\frac{3}{4}z$ -----> equation C

Part 1) Bottle 1

vanilla=?

almond=?

pineapple=4

we have

$z=4$

Find the value of x

substitute the value of z in equation B

$x=\frac{1}{4}(4)$

$x=1$

Find the value of y

substitute the value of z in equation C

$y=\frac{3}{4}(4)$

$y=3$

therefore

Bottle 1

vanilla=1

almond=3

pineapple=4

Part 2) Bottle 2

vanilla=?

almond=6

pineapple=?

we have

$y=6$

Find the value of x

substitute the value of y in equation A

$x=\frac{6}{3}=2$

Find the value of z

substitute the value of x in equation B

$2=\frac{1}{4}z$

solve for z

$z=8$

therefore

Bottle 2

vanilla=2

almond=6

pineapple=8

Part 3) Bottle 3

vanilla=1 1/2

almond=?

pineapple=?

we have

$x=1\frac{1}{2}$

convert to an improper fraction

$x=1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1*2+1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$

Find the value of y

substitute the value of x in equation A

$\frac{3}{2}=\frac{y}{3}$

$y=\frac{9}{2}$

convert to mixed number

$y=\frac{9}{2}=\frac{8}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=4\frac{1}{2}$

Find the value of z

substitute the value of x in equation B

$\frac{3}{2}=\frac{1}{4}z$

$z=6$

therefore

Bottle 3

vanilla=1 1/2

almond=4 1/2

pineapple=6

Find the side length of a square whose area is 121 ft^2

kogti [31]

Answer:

The side length is 11 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square is given by

A = s^2 where s is the side length

121 ft^2 = s^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt( 121 ft^2) = sqrt(s^2)

11 ft = s

The side length is 11 ft

Answer:

The 80% confidence interval for difference between two means is (0.85, 1.55).

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - α) % confidence interval for difference between two means is:

$CI=(\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2})\pm t_{\alpha/2,(n_{1}+n_{2}-2)}\times SE_{\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2}}$

Given:

$\bar x_{1}=M_{1}=6.1\\\bar x_{2}=M_{2}=4.9\\SE_{\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2}}=0.25$

Confidence level = 80%

$t_{\alpha/2, (n_{1}+n_{2}-2)}=t_{0.20/2, (5+5-2)}=t_{0.10,8}=1.397$

*Use a t-table for the critical value.

Compute the 80% confidence interval for difference between two means as follows:

$CI=(6.1-4.9)\pm 1.397\times 0.25\\=1.2\pm 0.34925\\=(0.85075, 1.54925)\\\approx(0.85, 1.55)$

Thus, the 80% confidence interval for difference between two means is (0.85, 1.55).

From 1980 to 1990, the consumer price index (CPI) increased from 82.4 to 130.7. If a gallon of apple juice cost $0.95 in 1980 an

ryzh [129]

Answer: C $1.51

To solve this, start with a proportion. Put the CPI numbers on the left and the apple juice prices on the right.

You will have:

82.4/130.7 = 0.95/x

Cross multiply to solve and you will get the price of the juice is $1.51.
