Here is how:

First convert the mix number into a fraction:

1 1/8=9/8

5*8=40
1*8=8
-
9*1=9
8*1=8

40-8=32

32/8=4
8/8=1

Which means your answer is 4/1 or 4!

tickets for a football match are sold at $30 for adults and $15 for children a company bought 28 tickets if x of these tickets w
anzhelika [568]
First, we must let:
   x = number of tickets intended for adults
   y = number of tickets intended for children.

a. Write in terms of x the number of tickets for children
     Solution:
           x + y = 28   ⇔    y = 28 - x   (equation 1)
       To answer in terms of x:
           no. of tickets for tickets for children = 28 - x

b. the amount spent on tickets for adults
    Solution:  $30 is the cost of ticket per adult and there are x number of tickets intended for adults.
           Therefore, 
            amount spent on ticket for adults = 30x

c. the amount spent on the tickets.
     Solution:
       $ 15  = cost of ticket per child
       $ 30 = cost of ticket per adult

      total amount spent on tickets = 30x + 15y    ⇒   (equation2)
  substitute equation 1 to equation 2.
  (equation 1)   y = 28 - x
  (equation 2)   total amount spent on tickets = 30x + 15y
                        total amount spent on tickets = 30x + 15(28-x)
                        total amount spent on tickets = 30x + 420 - 15x
                        total amount spent on tickets = 15x + 420

Suppose you have 100 ft of string to rope off a rectangular section for a bake sale at a school Fair. The function A=x^2+50x giv
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Therefore the width is 25 feet for getting maximum area.

The maximum area of the rectangle is 625 square feet.

Therefore the range is 0≤A≤625.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is

A = - x²+50x

We know that ,

If y = ax²+bx+c

For the maximum x=-\frac{b}{2a}

Here a = -1 , b= 50 and c=0

Therefore the width x= -\frac{50}{2.(-1)} = 25

Therefore the width is 25 feet for getting maximum area.

The maximum area =[ -(25)²+50.25] square feet

                                 = 625 square feet

The area can not be negative and maximum area is 625 square feet.

Therefore the range is 0≤A≤625.

Select all that are true for g(x) = 10/x (PLEASE ANSWER FAST ILL LOVE YOU FOREVER)
Ksivusya [100]
The given function is:

g(x)= \frac{10}{x}

The parents functions of g(x) will be:

f(x)= \frac{1}{x}

The domain of g(x) and its parent function is the same i.e. Set of all Real numbers except 0.

The range of g(x) and its parent function is the same i.e. set of all real numbers except 0. 

g(x) and its parent function only decrease. They do not increase over any interval. However, the interval in which they decrease is the same for both.

So, the correct answers are:
The domain of g(x) is the same as the domain of the parent function.
<span>The range is the same as the range of the parent function.
</span><span>The function g(x) decreases over the same x-values as the parent function.</span>

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

The probability that the household has only cell phones and has high-speed Internet is 0.408

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that represents U.S. households has only cell phones

Let B be the event that represents U.S. households have high-speed Internet.

We are given that 51% of U.S. households has only cell phones

P(A)=0.51

We are given that 70% of the U.S. households have high-speed Internet.

P(B)=0.7

We are given that U.S. households having only cell phones, 80% have high-speed Internet. A U.S household is randomly selected.

P(B|A)=0.8

\frac{P(A\capB)}{P(A)}=0.8\\P(A\capB)=0.8 \times P(A)\\P(A\capB)=0.8 \times 0.51\\P(A\capB)=0.408

Hence the probability that the household has only cell phones and has high-speed Internet is 0.408
