Answer:

Should be roughly 79.76% if I'm doing this right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the problem, you're given 3 things:

1) 6.8 million tonnes are recycled;

2) 6.8 million tonnes is 27% of the total household waste;

3) 20.1 million tonnes could be recycled.

Since they're asking for what percentage of <em>total</em> household waste could be recycled, you're looking at a multi-step cross multiplication problem.

It's not very difficult though, don't worry.

So I'm gonna start by telling you to just forget that the word "million" exists for the moment. You only need 6.8, 20.1, and 27%.

Setting up the first part of the problem requires you to convert 27% into a fraction. That's \frac{27}{100}.

6.8 is 27% of some mysterious number that we need to figure out what percent of household waste could be recycled, so that'll be set up on the opposite side of the equal sign as the equivalent to 27.

So we're starting out with this: \frac{6.8}{?} =\frac{27}{100}

Since you're trying to initially find the total household waste, we're setting x as the variable to solve for.

\frac{6.8}{x} =\frac{27}{100}

Cross-multiplying** means you multiply the numerator of one side of the equal sign to the denominator of the other side of the equal sign, and vice versa (denominator of one side to numerator of other). So multiply 6.8 to 100, and 27 to x.

680=27x

Now that you have this, you have to isolate x. Divide both sides by 27 to do this.

25.185185...=x

I'm gonna round that for simplicity's sake, because 185 repeats.

25.2=x

So we have 25.2 million tonnes of total household waste. Great! Now we can find the <em>percentage </em>of household waste that could be recycled.

Since we have how much could be recycled and the total, we just need to solve for the percent this time. So this is what the set-up will look like:

\frac{20.1}{25.2} =\frac{x}{100}

x being the percent we're solving for.

Cross-multiply again:

2010=25.2x

Divide both sides by 25.2:

79.761904761904...=x

Then round for simplicity's sake:

79.76=x

And you get 79.76% of household waste could be recycled.

Hope this helped!

**Be careful with cross-multiplying when you get to higher level math though. Not every situation allows for cross-multiplying. In fact, you can only cross-multiply when there's an equal sign.

Whoever gets it right gets brainlyess answer and it's worth 10 points
defon
There are 8 yellow and 24 blue. Our ratio from yellow to blue is 8:24.
To simplify this, we need to see if we can divide 8 and 24 by a common factor.
8 and 24 can be divided by 8, so let's do that.
8/8 = 1.
24/8 = 3.
Your new and simplified ratio is 1:3 from yellow to blue, but we're looking for blue to yellow. Flip the ratio.
3:1 is your ratio.
C.) is your correct answer.
I hope this helps!

prove that sin theta cos theta = cot theta is not a trigonometric identity by producing a counterexample
Zolol [24]

Answer:

To prove that ( sin θ cos θ = cot θ ) is not a trigonometric identity.

Begin with the right hand side:

R.H.S = cot θ = \frac{cos \ \theta}{sin \ \theta}

L.H.S = sin θ cos θ

so, sin θ cos θ ≠ \frac{cos \ \theta}{sin \ \theta}

So, the equation is not a trigonometric identity.

=========================================================

<u>Anther solution:</u>

To prove that ( sin θ cos θ = cot θ ) is not a trigonometric identity.

Assume θ with a value and substitute with it.

Let θ = 45°

So, L.H.S = sin θ cos θ = sin 45° cos 45° = (1/√2) * (1/√2) = 1/2

R.H.S = cot θ = cot 45 = 1

So, L.H.S ≠ R.H.S

So, sin θ cos θ = cot θ is not a trigonometric identity.

How many different ways are there to choose a subset of the set {1,2,3,4,5,6} so that the product of the members of the subset i
zvonat [6]

You have to pick at least one even factor from the set to make an even product.

There are 3 even numbers to choose from, and we can pick up to 3 additional odd numbers.

For example, if we pick out 1 even number and 2 odd numbers, this can be done in

\dbinom 31 \dbinom 32 = 3\cdot3 = 9

ways. If we pick out 3 even numbers and 0 odd numbers, this can be done in

\dbinom 33 \dbinom 30 = 1\cdot1 = 1

way.

The total count is then the sum of all possible selections with at least 1 even number and between 0 and 3 odd numbers.

\displaystyle \sum_{e=1}^3 \binom 3e \sum_{o=0}^3 \binom 3o = 2^3 \sum_{e=1}^3 \binom3e = 8 \left(\sum_{e=0}^3 \binom3e - \binom30\right) = 8(2^3 - 1) = \boxed{56}

where we use the binomial identity

\displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^n \binom nk = \sum_{k=0}^n \binom nk 1^{n-k} 1^k = (1+1)^n = 2^n

What is the correct classification of 23x + 16? A. monomial B. binomial C. trinomial
Leokris [45]

Answer: B. binomial.


Step-by-step explanation:

1. You can classify polynomials based on the number of terms the polynomial has:

- If it has one term is classified as a monomial.

- If it has two term is classified as a binomial.

- If it has three terms is classified as a trinomial.

2. The polynomial 23x+16 has two terms. Therefore, the correct clasification is: binomial.

3. Then, the correct answer is the option B.
