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.

Use the drawing tool(s) to form the correct answer on the provided number line.

Answer:

x= 1, x= 4, and x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the possible combinations of factors of the constant term of the polynomial to find a first root. Try 1, -1, 2, -2, 3, -3, etc.

Notice in particular that x = 1 is a root (makes f(1) = 0):

f(1)=x^3-2*1^2-11*1+12=1-2-11+12=13-13=0

So we know that x=1 is a root, and therefore, the binomial (x-1) must divide the original polynomial exactly.

As we perform the division, we find that the remainder of it is zero (perfect division) and the quotient is: x^2-x-12

This is now a quadratic expression for which we can find its factor form:

x^2-x-12=x^2-4x+3x-12=x(x-4)+3(x-4)=(x-4)*(x+3)

From the factors we just found, we conclude that x intercepts (zeroes) of the original polynomial are those x-values for which each of the factors: (x-1), (x-4) and (x+3) give zero. That is, the values x= 1, x= 4, and x= -3. (these are the roots of the polynomial.

Mark these values on the number line as requested.

The volume of the sphere is 500/3 pie cubic units . what is the value of X?
lilavasa [31]
Volume=4/3 pi r^3. so 4/3 pi r^3 = 500/3 pi. Therefore, divide by pi, and multiply by 3, you get 4r^3=500. Divide by 4 to get r^3=125, and cube root to result in 25. r=25.

How do you do these questions?
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

μ ≈ 2.33

σ ≈ 1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Each person has equal probability of ⅓.

\left[\begin{array}{cc}X&P(X)\\1&\frac{1}{3}\\2&\frac{1}{3}\\4&\frac{1}{3}\end{array}\right]

The mean is the expected value:

μ = E(X) = ∑ X P(X)

μ = (1) (⅓) + (2) (⅓) + (4) (⅓)

μ = ⁷/₃

The standard deviation is:

σ² = ∑ (X−μ)² P(X)

σ² = (1 − ⁷/₃)² (⅓) + (2 − ⁷/₃)² (⅓) + (4 − ⁷/₃)² (⅓)

σ² = ¹⁴/₉

σ ≈ 1.25

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP What does it mean for a scatter plot to have a negative trend?
mestny [16]

Answer:

D: None of these are true

Explanation:

If the points on the scatter plot seem to form a line that slants down from left to right, there is a negative relationship or negative correlation between the variables. If the points on the scatter plot seem to be scattered randomly, there is no relationship or no correlation between the variables
