Answer:

<h3>              0.125 galon of 35% acid solution</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5 gallon of a 10% acid solution

10%•0.5 = 0.05 gallon of acid in that solution

x gallon of 35% acid solution

35%•x = 0.35x  gallons of acid in that solution

0.05 + 0.35x  total of gallons of acid in both solutions

(0.5+x) gallons of 15% acid solution

15%(0.5+x) = 0.15(0.5+x)  gallons of acid in that solution

the amount of gallons of acid didn't change after mixing, so:

0.05 + 0.35x = 0.15(0.5 + x)

0.05 + 0.35x = 0.075 + 0.15x

0.35x - 0.15x = 0.075  - 0.05

0.2x = 0.025

 ×5         ×5  

x = 0.125

Answer:

a = 9.6 b = 11.2

Step-by-step explanation:

10 percent of 8 is .8

8 + (8 x .1) = 8.8

8.8 + .8 = 9.6

She will be paid 9.6 dollars after 1 full year of working, because working for one year is 12 months, and thats 10 percent of 8 twice. You can also put that as 20 percent of 8, aka 1.6

When you do 8+1.6 it equals 9.6

For the second part, that is 24 months, so 10 percent of 8 4 times. .8+.8+.8+.8 = 3.2

8+3.2 = 11.2

She will be paid 11.2 dollars after 2 full years of working.

Your answer isnt wrong, I dont know why your teacher is saying it is.

5k-2(3k + 4) = 5x + 4<br> help?
vazorg [7]
Use distributive property
5k - 6k -8 = 5x + 4
Combine like terms
-k - 8 = 5x + 4
add 8 to both sides
-k = 5x + 12
k = -5x- 12

A teacher was interested in knowing the amount of physical activity that his students were engaged in daily. He randomly sampled
klasskru [66]

Answer:

The standard error of the mean is 4.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we don't know the standard deviation of the population, we can estimate the standard error of the mean from the standard deviation of the sample as:

\sigma_{\bar{x}}\approx\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

The sample is [30mins, 40 mins, 60 mins, 80 mins, 20 mins, 85 mins]. The size of the sample is n=6.

The mean of the sample is:

\bar{x}=\frac{1}n} \sum x_i =\frac{30+40+60+80+20+85}{6}=52.5

The standard deviation of the sample is calculated as:

s=\sqrt{\frac{1}{n-1}\sum (x_i-\bar x)^2} \\\\ s=\sqrt{\frac{1}{5}\cdot ((30-52.5)^2+(40-52.5)^2+(60-52.5)^2+(80-52.5)^2+(20-52.5)^2+(85-52.5)^2}\\\\s=\sqrt{\frac{1}{5} *3587.5}=\sqrt{717.5}=26.8

Then, we can calculate the standard error of the mean as:

\sigma_{\bar{x}}\approx\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{26.8}{6}= 4.5

Let's draw the diagonals of the square. The square is being divided by 4 right triangles. & these right triangles are also isosceles (the diagonals of a square intercepts each other in the middle).
The area of each right triangle = (6 x 6) / 2 = 18 yard² & the 4 right triangles => 4x 18 = 72 yd²
