A container of coffee is 1/6 full. That container contains 2/3 of a pound of coffee write a division expression that represents

the capacity of the container
Mathematics
1 answer:
Marizza181 [45]2 years ago

Let us assume total capacity of the container = x pounds.

Container contains 1/6th coffee of total x pounds,  that is x/6 pounds.

We also given that 1/6th part is equal to 2/3 of a pound.

So, we could setup an equation now.

x/6 pounds equals 2/3 of a pound.

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

Dividing both sides by 1/6, we get

\frac{x}{6} ÷ \frac{1}{6} = \frac{2}{3} ÷\frac{1}{6}.

Therefore,  x = \frac{2}{3} ÷\frac{1}{6}

Division expression that represents the capacity of the container = 2/3 ÷ 1/6.

Solve the following pairs of simultaneous equations.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer and step-by-step explanation:

a) -4x + 5y = -9 (2)

2x + 3y = 21

Multiply the second equation by 2, you will get:

4x + 6y = 42 (1)

Use (1) plus with (2), you will get:

4x + (-4x) + 6y + 5y = -9 + 42

11y = 33

y = 33/11

y = 3

4x + 18 = 42

4x = 24

x = 6

b) 2x + 5y = -6

3x + 2y = 2

Multiply first equation by 3, you will get:

6x + 15y = -18 (1)

Multiply the second equation by 2 and you will get:

6x + 4y = 4 (2)

Subtract (1) by (2), we got:

6x -6x + 15y - 4y = -18 - 4

11y = -22

y = -22/11

y = -2

6x + 4y = 4

6x -8 = 4

6x = 12

x = 2

c) 2x - 2y = -4

5x + 4y = 17 (2)

Multiply the first euation by 2, we got:

4x - 4y = -4 (3)

Use (3) minus for (2), we get:

4x - 5x -4y + 4y = -4 - 17

-x = -21

x = 21

4x - 4y = -4

84 - 4y = -4

-4y = -4 + 84

-4y = 80

y = 80 / -4

y = -20

d) 2x - 3y = 6

4x - 5y = 9 (1)

Multiply the first equation by 2, we got:

4x - 6y = 12 (2)

Use (1) minus for (2), we got:

4x -4x - 5y - 6y = 9 -12

-11y = -3

y = -3/-11

y = 3/11

2x - 3y = 6

2x - 9/11 = 6

2x = 66/11 + 9/ 11

2x = 75/11

x = 75/11 * 1/2

x = 75 / 22

e) x/2 + y/3 = 2

x/4 + y/3 = 4

Use the first equation subtract the second equation, we got:

x/2 - x/4 + y/3 - y/3 = 2 - 4

2x/4 -x/4 = -2

x/ 4 = -2

x = -2 * 4

x = -8

x/2 + y/3 = 2

-8 / 2 + y/3 = 2

y / 3 = 2 + 4

y/3 = 6

y = 6*3

y = 18

f) x/3 + y/2 = 3/2 (1)

x/2 + y/5 = -1/2 (2)

I don't know how to solve this, sr

Hope this helped :3

Summer is approaching, so workers at the Lawrenceville Community Center are filling the pool. The volume of water in the pool x
Vanyuwa [196]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  The pool is being filled

Step-by-step explanation:

The function definition tells you ...

  f(5) = the volume of water in the pool 5 minutes after they start

  f(10) = the volume of water in the pool 10 minutes after they start

So, the inequality ...

  f(5) < f(10)

means the volume of water in the pool 10 minutes after they start is greater than it is 5 minutes after they start. In short, <em>they are filling the pool</em>.

A recent study at UGA (March 5, 2008) suggests that students with cell phones may take more risks than students that do not have
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

(a) -2.8

b) (1) Reject H0: p = 0.50 in favor of HA: p < 0.50; there is sufficient evidence to conclude that less than half of all UGA female students who, if they had a cell phone, would be willing to walk somewhere after dark that they would normally not go.

Step-by-step explanation:

The test statistic is:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

H0: p = 0.50

This means that:

\mu = 0.5, \sigma = \sqrt{0.5*0.5} = 0.5

In a random sample of 305 UGA female students, 128 responded that, if they had a cell phone, they would be willing to walk somewhere after dark that they would normally not go.

This means that n = 305, X = \frac{128}{305} = 0.4197

a) Value of the test statistic:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z = \frac{0.4197 - 0.5}{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{305}}}

z = -2.8

Pvalue:

We are testing the hypothesis that the proportion is less than 0.5, which means that the pvalue of the test is the pvalue of z = -2.81.

Looking at the z-table, z = -2.8 has a pvalue of 0.0026

(b) What is the correct conclusion for this hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance?

0.0026 < 0.05, which means that we reject the null hypothesis, that the proportion is 0.5, and accept the alternate hypothesis, that the proportion is less than 0.5, option (1).
