the ratio of red marbles to yellow marbles placed in a bag is 2:7. More marbles are added to the bag: 3 red and 3 yellow marbles

. Maria states that the ratio is still the same since equal amounts of red and yellow marbles were added to the bag

Answer: False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, the ratio is 2:7

This means that if we have 2 red marbles, we must have 7 yellow ones.

The quotient here is 7/2 = 3.5

Now, if you add 3 marbles of each colour, then we have:

2 + 3 = 5 red marbles

7 + 3 = 10 yellow marbles.

Now the ratio is 5:10

This means that for every 5 red marbles, we have 10 yellow ones.

But now we can divide both numbers by the same positive integer, because they have a common factor equal to 5.

5/5 = 1

10/5 = 2

Then we have:

5:10 = 1:2

So the new ratio is 1:2

Then the ratio changed when we added the new marbles, which means that Maria was wrong.

In triangle MNP, m = 5 cm, n = 4 cm, and p = 8 cm. Which formula can you use to find P?
charle [14.2K]
Answer:
8² = 4² + 5² - 2(4)(5) cos(P)
which is the third option

Explanation:
The general rule of cosine is:
a² = b² + c² - 2bc*cos(A)

In our triangle:
a is substituted by p = 8 cm
b is substituted by n = 4 cm
c is substituted by m = 5 cm
A is substituted by P which we want to find

Replace the variables in the general equation with the givens as follows:
p² = n² + m² - 2mn*cos(P)
8² = 4² + 5² - 2(4)(5) cos(P)

Hope this helps :)

The distribution of heights for adult men in a certain population is approximately normal with mean 70 inches and standard devia
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The interval (meassured in Inches) that represent the middle 80% of the heights is [64.88, 75.12]

Step-by-step explanation:

I beleive those options corresponds to another question, i will ignore them. We want to know an interval in which the probability that a height falls there is 0.8.

In such interval, the probability that a value is higher than the right end of the interval is (1-0.8)/2 = 0.1

If X is the distribuition of heights, then we want z such that P(X > z) = 0.1. We will take W, the standarization of X, wth distribution N(0,1)

W = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} = \frac{X-70}{4}

The values of the cumulative distribution function of W, denoted by \phi , can be found in the attached file. Lets call y = \frac{z-70}{4} . We have

0.1 = P(X > z) = P(\frac{X-70}{4} > \frac{z-70}{4}) = P(W > y) = 1-\phi(y)

Thus

\phi(y) = 1-0.1 = 0.9

by looking at the table, we find that y = 1.28, therefore

\frac{z-70}{4} = 1.28\\z = 1.28*4+70 = 75.12

The other end of the interval is the symmetrical of 75.12 respect to 70, hence it is 70- (75.12-70) = 64.88.

The interval (meassured in Inches) that represent the middle 80% of the heights is [64.88, 75.12] .

A man has two more nickels than dimes. He has $1.15 in all. How many coins of each kind does he have?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Man has 9 Nickels and 7 dimes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Number of dimes be x

and Number of Nickels be y

As Per given data he has two more nickels than dimes.

y= 2+x\\

As we know that

1\$ = 100 cent

1 nickel is worth = 5 cents = \frac{5}{100}= 0.05\$

1 dime is worth = 10 cents = \frac{10}{100} 0 .1\ $

According to given data he has \$\ 1.15 total nickel and dimes

So the equation becomes,

0.05y+0.1x=1.15

but y= 2+x

0.05(2+x)+0.1x=1.15\\0.1+0.05x+0.1x=1.15\\0.1+0.15x= 1.15\\0.15x= 1.15-0.1\\0.15x=1.05\\x=\frac{1.05}{0.15}= 7

Substituting value of x in equation y = 2+x we get

y= 2+7 =9

Man has 9 Nickels and 7 dimes.

Find the surface area of a cylinder that has a raius of 13.5 cm., and a height of 90 cm. Show all work without using a calculato
professor190 [17]

\bf \textit{surface area of a cylinder}\\\\ SA=2\pi r(h+r)~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ h=height\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=13.5\\ h=90 \end{cases}\implies SA=2\pi (13.5)(90+13.5) \\\\\\ SA=27\pi (103.5)\implies SA=2794.5\pi \implies SA\approx 8779.18

well, the last part will be with a calculator, but you can simply use the area in π terms.
