How many oz of walnuts which cost $6/oz must be added to 2 oz of peanuts which cost $12/oz to make mixed nuts which cost $8/oz

Mathematics
1 answer:
Burka [1]3 years ago

Answer:  4 oz

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Create a table.  Multiply across and add down (the middle column cannot be added).  The Mixture line creates the equation that must be solved.

Let x represent the unknown quantity of walnuts.

\begin{array}{c|c|c||c}&\underline{Quantity}&\underline{Cost}&\underline{Qty \times Cost}\\Walnuts&x&6&6x\\\underline{Peanuts}&\underline{\qquad 2\qquad}&\underline{\qquad 12\qquad}&\underline{\qquad 24\qquad }\\Mixture&x+2&8&6x+24\end{array}

.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad (x+2)(8) = 6x+24\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad 8x + 16 = 6x + 24\longrightarrow \text{distributed}\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad2x+16=24\qquad \longrightarrow \text{subtracted 6x}\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad 2x=8\qquad \qquad \ \longrightarrow \text{subtracted 16}\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad x=4\qquad \qquad \quad \longrightarrow \text{divided by 2}

Which is an odd monomial function? A.y=2x^3 B.1/x C.5x^-9 D.3
Anna71 [15]
First let's review two concepts:
 Monomy: Algebraic expression that consists of a single term or in which the terms that form it are related by the product operation.
 Odd function: A function is odd if, for each x in the domain of f, f (- x) = - f (x).
 The function y = 2x ^ 3 complies with both definitions.
 Answer:
 an odd monomial function is:
 
A.y = 2x ^ 3

How to add and subtract rational numbers in fraction form?
Daniel [21]
First you have to convert  the denominators to the Lowest Common Multiple (unless the denominators are equal, of course).

Example   1/4 + 1/2

The LCM of 2 and 4 = 4   so we can write 1/2  as 1*2/2*2 = 2/4. 
Now we can add:-
1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4.

Same thing goes for subtraction.

Example 2:-

5/6 - 1/7  :- 
LCM of 6 and 7  = 6*7 = 42  so we have:-
5*7 / 6*7   - 1*6 / 7*6  
= 35/42 - 6/42  =  29/42

Readings on a thermometer are normally distributed with a mean of 0C° and a standard deviation of 1.00. What is the probability
hichkok12 [17]

Given mean = 0 C and standard deviation = 1.00

To find probability that a random selected thermometer read less than 0.53, we need to find z-value corresponding to 0.53 first.

z= \frac{x-mean}{standard deviation}  = \frac{0.53-0}{1.00} = 0.53

So, P(x<0.53) = P(z<0.53) = 0.701944

Similarly P(x>-1.11)=P(z>-1.11) = 1-P(z<-1.11) = 0.8665

For finding probability for in between values, we have to subtract smaller one from larger one.

P(1.00<x<2.25) = P(1.00<z<2.25) = P(z<2.25)- P(z<1.00) = 0.9878 - 0.8413 = 0.1465

P(x>1.71) = P(z>1.71) = 1-P(z<1.71) = 1-0.9564 = 0.0436

P(x<-0.23 or x>0.23) = P(z<-0.23 or z>0.23)  =P(z<-0.23)+P(z>0.23) = 0.409+0.409 = 0.918
