Answer: 480 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = the number of days required to finish the job.

let y = number of acres that had to be cleaned.

without the new machine, the formula would be:

80x = y

that means cleaning 80 acres per day * x days will equal y acres that are cleaned.

with the new machine, the formula would be:

90(x-1) + 30 = y

that means cleaning 90 acres per day for one less day and then cleaning 30 acres on the last day will equal y acres that are cleaned.

so you have 2 equations.

80x = y

90(x-1) + 30 = y

replace y in the second equation with the value of y from the first equation gets you:

90(x-1) + 30 = 80x

solve for x to get:

x = 6

what this means is:

80 acres a day for 6 days will equal 480 acres that are cleaned.

90 acres a day for 5 days and then 30 acres on the last day will equal 480 acres that are cleaned.

with the old machine we are looking at:

80 + 80 + 80 + 80 + 80 + 80 = 480.

with the new machine we are looking at:

90 + 90 + 90 + 90 + 90 + 30 = 480.

looks like they had to clean 480 acres.

A new washing machine used 3 2/4 gallons of water per full load to clean cloths. If John washed 2 2/3 loads of clothes, how many

kumpel [21]

We know that
3 2/4 -------------> is (3*4+2)/4--------> 14/4-------> 7/2
2 2/3 --------------> is (2*3+2)/3--------> 8/3

if a new washing machine used 7/2 gallons of water ------------> one full load <span>cloths
</span> X gallons of water------------------------------------------------------> 8/3 of load cloths<span>
X=(8/3)*(7/2)---------> X=56/6------->28/3 gallons of water
28/3--------> 9 1/3 gallons of water

the answer is
</span>9 1/3 gallons of water

6. A sporting goods store receives an order of 100 baseball caps, of which 22 are green. If 1 of

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

$\text{A. }39/50$

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a randomly selected cap will not be green is equal to the number of non-green caps divided by the total number of caps.

Since there are 100 caps total and 22 are green, there must be $100-22=78$ non-green caps.

Divide this by the total number of caps (100) to get the probability that a randomly selected cap will not be green:

$\frac{78}{100}$

Simplify by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2:

$\frac{78}{100}=\boxed{39/50}$

The professor of a business statistics class wanted to find out the average amount of time per week her students spent studying

zhenek [66]

Answer:

Cluster sample

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an example of a cluster sample. In a cluster sample, the examiner divides the population into groups (each one of these groups is called a cluster) and once the examiner has these clusters, takes one of them and recollects the data from ALL the members of that cluster. In this case, the teacher divided the class in 3 different groups and then selects one of these groups and asks the average amount of time per week he/she spent studying.

Find the distance between the two points. Round your solution to 2 decimal points.

VashaNatasha [74]

Notice the grid, the points are (-5, -2) and (4, -1), thus

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&&(~{{ 4}} &,&{{ -1}}~) 
% (c,d)
&&(~{{ -5}} &,&{{ -2}}~)
\end{array}~~
% distance value
d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{[-5-4]^2+[-2-(-1)]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-5-4)^2+(-2+1)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{(-9)^2+(-1)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{81+1}\implies d=\sqrt{82}$
