Answer:

the box value is  $ 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

if we don't want to get confused what we can do is 2 equations, one that represents the relationship between the box and the candy, and another that represents the money

x = candy

y = box

x = y + 19

x + y = 20

we replace in the second equation the value of x by (y + 19)

x + y = 20

(y + 19) + y = 20

y +y = 20 - 19

2y = 1

y = 1/2

y = 0.5

we replace in the first equation the value of y by its value

x = y + 19

x = 0.5 + 19

x = 19.5

so the candy value is $ 19.5 and the box value is  $ 0.5

A machine operation produces bearings whose diameters are normally distributed, with a mean of 0.497 inch and a standard deviati
eduard
Mean = 0.497 in, SD = 0.003 in
Required diameter ranges between 0.496 in and 0.504 in
Anything other diameter obtained is not acceptable.

That is;
P(x<0.496) and P(x>0.504) are not acceptable.

Now,
P(x<0.496) = P(Z< (0.496-0.497)/0.003)) = P(Z<-0.33)
From Z tables, P(Z<-0.33) = 0.3707

Similarly,
P(x>0.504) = P(Z> (0.504-0.497)/0.003)) = P(Z>2.33)
From Z tables, P(Z>2.33) = 1-0.9901 = 0.0099

Therefore, unacceptable proportion = P(x<0.496)+P(x>0.504) = 0.3707+0.0099 = 0.3806 or 38.06%

Which number can each term of the equation be multiplied by to eliminate the fractions before solving?
Lynna [10]

Answer:

would multiply everything by the common denominator of 4

-3/4m - 1/2 = 2 + 1/4m....multiply everything by 4 and u get :

-3m - 2 = 8 + m

that will get rid of the fractions....but u could multiply by -4 ...giving u :

3m + 2 = -8 - m

Simplify the following :
dlinn [17]

Answer:

1. 95/96

2. 27/7

3. -8/245

Explanation:

1. First add together the two fractions 3/4 + 5/6. Find the least common denominator. In this case we can use 12. The 3/4 changes to 9/12 and the 5/6 changes to 10/12. adding these together we get 19/12. Next we divide 8/5 by 19/12. We use the keep, change, flip method to change the divide to multiply. keep the first fraction, change divide into multiply, and then take the reciprocal of the second fraction. You will now do 5/8 x 19/12. We now get 95/96 (I made a mistake in the answers the first time because I was rushing)

2. Divide the 3/2 and the 8/9 first. I will use the KCF (keep, change, flip) method to divide. 3/2 x 9/8 = 27/16  Now we divide the 7/16. After using KCF we can simplify and cross cancel (simplfy after changing the fraction and signs) 27/16 x 16/7 --> 27/1 x 1/7   The answer will come out to be 27/7

3. since there are no parentheses divide first. Use KCF and after you get the answer multiply (it is the same using negative numbers just watch out for signs)

The cost for an order of 100 kilograms of steel bars is $230. The cost for an order of 150 kilograms of steel bars is $320. Writ
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

y = 9x/5 + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

We are represent the information as coordinate (x,y)

If the cost for an order of 100 kilograms of steel bars is $230, this is expressed as (100, 230)

Also if the cost for an order of 150 kilograms of steel bars is $320, this is expressed as;

(150, 320)

Find the equation of a line passing through the points. The standard form of the equation is expressed as y = mx+c

m is the slope

c is the intercept

Get the slope;

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

m = 320-230/150-100

m = 90/50

m = 9/5

Get the y-intercept by substituting m = 9/5 and any point say (100, 230) into the expression y = mx+c

230 = 9/5(100)+c

230 = 9(20)+c

230 = 180 + c

c = 230-180

c = 50

Get the required equation

y = mx+c

y = 9/5 x + 50

Hence an equation for the cost of an order of steel bars (y) in terms of the weight of steel bars ordered (x) is y = 9x/5 + 50
