8 0

Answer:

26 2/3 yards,

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert 3 1/3 to an improper fraction:

3 1/3 = (3*3 + 1) / 3 = 10 /3.

So for 8 quilts we need (10/3) * 8

= 80/3

= 26 2/3 yards,

Calvin works at a facility which processes apples. It costs the facility $0. 68 to make either a jar of applesauce or a bottle o

NNADVOKAT [17]

The number of bottles the facility requires to sell when it breaks is given by

a system of two simultaneous equations.

When the facility breaks even, it would have sold 77,579 bottles of apples juice.

Reasons:

The cost to make a jar of applesauce or a bottle of apple juice = $0.68

Number of jars of applesauce to be sold foe every 2 bottles of apple juice = 3 jars

The selling price for a jar of applesauce = $2.20

Selling price for a bottle of apple juice = $3.15

Annual overhead cost excluding production cost = $368,500

Required: Number of bottles of apple juice sold by the facility when it breaks even annually.

Solution:

Let J represent the number of bottles of apple juice sold, and let S represent the number of jars of apple sauce, by excluding the production cost, we have;

(3.15 - 0.68)·J + (2.2 - 0.68)·S = 368,500

S : J = 3 : 2

Which gives;

$\displaystyle \frac{S}{J} = \mathbf{ \frac{3}{2}}$

$\displaystyle S= \frac{3}{2} \cdot J$

Therefore;

$\displaystyle (3.15 - 0.68) \cdot J + (2.2 - 0.68) \cdot S = (3.15 - 0.68) \cdot J + (2.2 - 0.68) \cdot \frac{3}{2} \cdot J = \mathbf{368,500}$

Which gives;

$\displaystyle (3.15 - 0.68) \cdot J + (2.2 - 0.68) \cdot \frac{3}{2} \cdot J = \mathbf{ \frac{19 \cdot J }{4} } = 368,500$

$\displaystyle J = \frac{368,500 \times 4}{19} = \frac{1474000}{19}=77578\frac{18}{19} \approx 77,579$

The number of bottles of apple juice sold, J ≈ 77,579 bottles

In the 1990s the demand for personal computers in the home went up with household income. For a given community in the 1990s, th

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

a) 0.5198 computers per household

b) 0.01153 computers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

number of computers in a home,

q = 0.3458 ln x - 3.045 ; 10,000 ≤ x ≤ 125,000

here x is mean household income

mean income = $30,000

increasing rate, $\frac{dx}{dt}$ = $1,000

Now,

a) computers per household are

since,

mean income of $30,000 lies in the range of 10,000 ≤ x ≤ 125,000

thus,

q = 0.3458 ln(30,000) - 3.045

q = 0.5198 computers per household

b) Rate of increase in computers i.e $\frac{dq}{dt}$

$\frac{dq}{dt}$ = $\frac{d(0.3458 ln x - 3.045)}{dt}$

$\frac{dq}{dt}=0.3458\times(\frac{1}{x})\frac{dx}{dt} - 0$

on substituting the values, we get

$\frac{dq}{dt}=0.3458\times(\frac{1}{30,000})\times1,000$

= 0.01153 computers

Help? Solve the system of equations. y = 3x y = x2 + 3x – 16 solutions: ( );( )

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

(- 4, - 12 ) , (4, 12 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = 3x → (1)

y = x² + 3x - 16 → (2)

Substitute y = x² + 3x - 16 into (1)

x² + 3x - 16 = 3x ( subtract 3x from both sides )

x² - 16 = 0 ( add 16 to both sides )

x² = 16 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± $\sqrt{16}$ = ± 4

Substitute these values into (1) for corresponding values of y

x = - 4 : y = 3 × - 4 = - 12 ⇒ (- 4, - 12 )

x = 4 : y = 3 × 4 = 12 ⇒ (4, 12 )

In this problem, how would I find the value of Z ?

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

z = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

WX and VU are congruent

2z + 10 = z + 45

subtract z from both sides (z + 10 = 45)

subtract 10 from both sides (z = 30)

the answer is z = 30
