Answer:

We have 40% antifreeze and 70% antifreeze and we need to make 240 liters of 64% antifreeze.

We set up 2 equations where "f" is the 40 % and "s" is the 70%

A) f + s = 240

B) .40f + .70s = (.64 * 240) (or 153.6)

To solve both equations we multiply A) by -.40

A) -.40 f  - .40 s = -96.00   then we add this to B)

B) .40f + .70s = 153.60

.30s = 57.6

s = 192

f = 48

48 liters of 40% = 19.20 liters of antifreeze

192 liters of  70% = 134.40 liters of antifreeze

That equals 153.60 liters of antifreeze in a TOTAL liquid amount of 240 liters.

Double Check

153.60 / 240 = 64% antifreeze.

Eli wanted to order candy online. Company A is offering 2 1/2 pounds of chocolate for $32.00. How much is Company A charging per
Komok [63]

Answer:

Therefore, Company B is offering the lowest price/lb at $12.73/lb.

So, Company A's price / lb = ($32.50/2.5lbs) = $13.00/lb

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine price per lb, divide dollar amount by lbs.

- Company A sells 2 1/2lbs (2.5lbs) for $32.50

- Company B sells 2 3/4lbs (2.75lbs) for $35.00

And, Company B's price / lb = ($35.00/2.75lbs) = $12.73/lb

Heights of men have a bell-shaped distribution, with a mean of 176 cm and a standard deviation of 7 cm. Using the Empirical Rule
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

a) 68% of the men fall between 169 cm and 183 cm of height.

b) 95% of the men will fall between 162 cm and 190 cm.

c) It is unusual for a man to be more than 197 cm tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 68-95-99.5 empirical rule can be used to solve this problem.

This values correspond to the percentage of data that falls within in a band around the mean with two, four and six standard deviations of width.

<em>a) What is the approximate percentage of men between 169 and 183 cm? </em>

To calculate this in an empirical way, we compare the values of this interval with the mean and the standard deviation and can be seen that this interval is one-standard deviation around the mean:

\mu-\sigma=176-7=169\\\mu+\sigma=176+7=183

Empirically, for bell-shaped distributions and approximately normal, it can be said that 68% of the men fall between 169 cm and 183 cm of height.

<em>b) Between which 2 heights would 95% of men fall?</em>

This corresponds to ±2 standard deviations off the mean.

\mu-2\sigma=176-2*7=162\\\\\mu+2\sigma=176+2*7=190

95% of the men will fall between 162 cm and 190 cm.

<em>c) Is it unusual for a man to be more than 197 cm tall?</em>

The number of standard deviations of distance from the mean is

n=(197-176)/7=3

The percentage that lies outside 3 sigmas is 0.5%, so only 0.25% is expected to be 197 cm.

It can be said that is unusual for a man to be more than 197 cm tall.

PLEASE CAN SOMEONE ANSWER THIS, THANKS
Sloan [31]

Answer:

$83 million

Step-by-step explanation:

29% of the charity's donated funds.

$24.1 million = donation

Let x = the total amount of donated funds

29/100 • x = 24.1

x = 24.1 • 100/29

x = 83.10

=83

Hope this helps :)
