Answer:

We get the value of m that is 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given proportion is:

$\frac{5}{8}=\frac{m}{40}$

Simplifying the above given proportion by cross multiplying, we get

$m=\frac{5{\times}40}{8}$

⇒ $m=5{\times}5$

⇒ $m=25$

Thus, on simplifying the given proportion, we get the value of m.

Your answer is 25. You do 40 times 5 divided by 8 or 8 times 5 is 40 and 5 times 5 is 25. Hope this helps

A survey of shoppers is planned to determine what percentage use credit cards. prior surveys suggest 63% of shoppers use credit

Alona [7]

We would need a sample size of 560.

We first calculate the z-score associated. with this level of confidence:
Convert 95% to a decimal: 95% = 95/100 = 0.95
Subtract from 1: 1-0.95 = 0.05
Divide by 2: 0.05/2 = 0.025
Subtract from 1: 1-0.025 = 0.975

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that this is associated with a z-score of 1.96.

The margin of error, ME, is given by:
$ME=z*\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$

We want ME to be 4%; 4% = 4/100 = 0.04. Substituting this into our equation, as well as our proportion and z-score,
$0.04=1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.63(1-0.63)}{n}}
\\
\\\text{Dividing both sides by 1.96,}
\\
\\\frac{0.04}{1.96}=\sqrt{\frac{0.63(0.37)}{n}}
\\
\\\text{Squaring both sides,}
\\
\\(\frac{0.04}{1.96})^2=\frac{0.63(0.37)}{n}
\\
\\\text{Multiplying both sides by n,}
\\
\\n(\frac{0.04}{1.96})^2=0.63(0.37)
\\
\\n(\frac{0.04}{1.96})^2=0.2331
\\
\\\text{Isolating n,}
\\
\\n=\frac{0.2331}{(\frac{0.04}{1.96})^2}=559.67\approx560$

A florist must make 5 identical

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

A. 40x + 10y + 10z = $160

B. 8 Roses, 2 lilies and 2 irises

1. 20x + 5y + 5z = $80

2. 4x + y + z = $16

3. 8x + 2y + 2z = $32

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost for each flower = $160/5 = $32

So we have $32 for each bouquet consisting of 12 flowers each.

Roses = x = $2.50 each

lilies = y = $4 each

irises = z = $2 each

8x + 2y + 2z = $32

8($2.50) + 2($4) + 2($2) = $32

$20 + $8 + $4 = $32

$32 = $32

a. Maximum budget is $160

40x + 10y + 10z = $160

40($2.50) + 10($4) + 10($2) = $160

$100 + $40 + $20 = $160

$160 = $160

b. From above

8x + 2y + 2z = $32

8 Roses, 2 lilies and 2 irises

c. No. There are other solutions If total cost is not limited

1. 20x + 5y + 5z

20($2.50) + 5($4) + 5($2)

$50 + $20 + $10

= $80

2. 4x + y + z

4($2.50) + $4 + $2

$10 + $4 + $2

= $16

3. 8x + 2y + 2z

8($2.50) + 2($4) + 2($2)

$20 + $8 + $4

= $32

Explain how the diameter and circumference are related?

Keith_Richards [23]

In math, we have a formula that relates these two parts of a circle. This formula is called the circumference formula, and it is C = pi*d where C stands for the circumference and d stands for the diameter. And pi is pi or 3.14.
