Answer:

f(x) = 72 - 12x

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of days of study = 6

Amount of food to use for the 6 days = 72 mm

Given that equal amount of food was used each day, amount used per day = \frac{72}{6} = 12 mm

This would enable us derive a function for the amount of food remaining f(x), which can be expressed as a function of the number of days that have passed, (x).

Thus, we would have:

f(x) = 72 - 12x

Let's check if this equation expresses the relation of the function well.

At the end of day 1, if we used, 12mm, we would have 72 - 12 = 60mm of food remaining.

If we replace x in the equation we derived, we would get the same 60mm as the amount of food remaining.

If you try 2, 3, 4, 5 days, you'd get same thing.

At the end of the study, after the 6th day, the food would remain nothing.

Replace 6 for x in the relation function derived, you'd get a value of 0.

A bag contains n blue and m red marbles. You randomly pick a marble from the bag, write down its color, and then put the marble
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

(mn+n²)/(m+n)

Step-by-step explanation:

probability of blue marble= n/(n+m)

probability of red marble= m/(n+m)

probability that process stops = Probability of both blue + probability of both red=  n/(n+m) × n/(n+m) + m/(n+m)×m/(n+m)

                        = (n²+m²)/(n+m)²

P(1st marbel is blue)= P(blue and red) + P(blue and blue)

                                  = mn/(n+m) + n²/(n+m)

                                   = (mn+n²)/(m+n)

P(1st marble is blue | process stops)= ( (mn+n²)/(m+n)× (n²+m²)/(n+m)²)/ ((n²+m²)/(n+m)²)

= (mn+n²)/(m+n)

There were 99 tulips in the field. Only 3/9 bloomed. How many tulips bloomed? How many did not bloom?
Ratling [72]

Answer: 33 tulips bloomed / 66 tulips did not bloom

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Given:</h2>

Total number of tulips = 99

Total number of tulips bloomed = 3/9 of total

<h2>Solve:</h2>

Step One: Find the number of tulips that bloomed

99 × (3/9) = 99 × (1/3) = 33 tulips

Step Two: Find the number of tulips that did not bloom

99 - 33 = 66 tulips

Hope this helps!! :)

A masonry contractor is preparing an estimate for building a stone wall and gate. He estimates that the job will take a​ 40-hour
kodGreya [7K]

Solution: Estimated time for the work is 40 hour work week.

Estimated payment to 3 laborers working 40 hours at cost $14 per hour is:

3\times 40\times 14= $1680

Estimated payment to 6 masons working 40 hours at cost $24 per hour is:

6\times 40\times 24= $5760

Estimated cost of material = $3143

Contractor wishes to make a profit of $500

Therefore, the mathematical expression that will give the estimated cost of the job is:

Cost = 1680+5760+3143+500

The estimated total cost is:

Cost =$11083
