175 divided by 5 is your unit rate or how many cans it crushes in 1 minute. You get 35. Multiple 35 by 16. So 560 cans crushed in 16 minutes

You can set it up like this:

5/175 = 16/x

Cross multiply to get:

5x = 2800

Isolate x:

x = 560

Check:

In 16 minutes, the machine should be able to crush a little more than 3 times the amount it could crush in 5 minutes. So, 3 times 175 is 525. That plus a bit more is 560, so the answer makes sense.

Final answer:

The recycle machine should be able to crush 560 pounds of cans in 16 minutes.

Hope this helped!! xx

Answer:the probability that a pensioner catches a flu is 0.3 or $\frac{3}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

a) Pensioners who have had a flu jab = $\frac{3}{5}$

b) Pensioners who did not had a flu jab = 1 - $\frac{3}{5}$ = $\frac{2}{5}$

For the first pair of arrows: a is the probability of the upper arrow and b is the probability of the lower arrow.

If pensioner have had a flu jab, the probability of catching flu is $\frac{1}{30}$

Data:

c) Catching flu = $\frac{1}{30}$

d) Not catching flu = 1 - $\frac{1}{30}$ = $\frac{29}{30}$

The second pair of arrows on the top: Top arrow is c and bottom arrow is d

If pensioner did not have a flu jab, the probability of catching flu is $\frac{7}{10}$

Data:

e) Catching flu = $\frac{7}{10}$

f) Not catching flu = 1 - $\frac{7}{10}$ = $\frac{3}{10}$

The second pair of arrows on the bottom: Top arrow is e and bottom arrow is f.

Q) Probability pensioner catches a flu

P(catches the flu given that he had the flu jab) + P(catches the flu given that he did not have the flu jab)

( $\frac{3}{5}$ x $\frac{1}{30}$ ) + ( $\frac{2}{5}$ x $\frac{7}{10}$ )

= 0.02 + 0.28

= 0.3

Therefore, the probability that a pensioner catches a flu is 0.3 or $\frac{3}{10}$

Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the point (9,0) and has a slope of m=-3 .

aksik [14]

Answer:

$y = - 3x + 27$

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form for the equation of the line is

$y = mx + c$

Recall that:

$y = 0 \: \: \: x = 9 \: \: \: m = - 3 \\ y = mx + c \\ 0 = - 3(9) + c \\ 0 = - 27+ c \\ 27 = c$

Therefore the equation of the line is:

$y = mx + c \\ y = - 3x + 27$

The digit \greenD88start color #1fab54, 8, end color #1fab54 in which number represents a value of 888 thousandths?

Arte-miy333 [17]

Question:

The digit 8 in which number represents a value of 8 thousandths?

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires options and the options are missing.

However, the following explanation will guide you

Start by representing 8 thousandths as a digit

$\frac{8}{1000} = 0.008$

i.e.

8 thousandths implies 0.008

Next;

Replace the 0s with dashes

_ . _ _8

Note that there are two dashes after the decimal point and before 8

PS: The dashes are used to represent digits

This implies that thousandths is the 3rd digit after the decimal point

Typical examples to back up this explanation are:

17.008, 1.1489, 0.008 and so on...
