Answer: 14


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The total balance in the account = $200

Also the business assistant must leave more than $50 in the supply account.

Therefore, the maximum amount he can use to order boxes= \$200-\$50=\$150..(1)

Since the assistant needs to order x boxes of pens.

Cost of each box = $10.50

Therefore, cost of x boxes=10.50 x

From (1), we have the inequality

10.50x\leq150\\\\\Rightarrow\ x\leq\frac{150}{10.50}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x\leq14.285\\\Rightarrow\ x=14....\text{[since 14 is the maximum whole number less than 14.285]}

Hence, the business assistant can buy maximum 14 boxes of pens.

Hey, there, Brooklyn! For the first problem, set up a proportion. Think of the line that separates the numerator and denominator is the word 'per'. If it's 0.75 yd per costume, then your fraction is \frac{0.75(yards)}{1(costume)}. If she buys 6 yards, simply multiply 6 * 0.75, which is 4.5. However, making 4.5 costumes doesn't sound too possible, does it? It's better to just say she can make 4 costumes.

Now let's look at the second problem. If just one side has a length of (4x - 2y), then that means there must be another side with the same length, as it is a rectangle we're talking about here. That means we should multiply the known length by two and subtract it from the perimeter like this:

12x + 8y - 2(4x - 2y)

Remember the PEMDAS method. Distribute the 2;

12x + 8y - 8x + 4y

Now combine like terms: 12x - 8x + 8y + 4y

--> 6x + 12y

Now we have an answer, but it's not the right one. You see, this is the length of both of the unknown lengths. To get the right answer, divide this by 2. The other side is 3x + 6y units long. Hope this helped.

Explain how to solve the problem below. In your response, you must analyze the given information, discuss a strategy or plan to
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

6.1

please give me brainliest!!

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine right triangle with first leg to be the Chad length and second leg to be the Chad's shadow. Second leg has length 14.3 ft and since the straight-line distance from the top of Chad’s head to the end of the shadow creates a 23° angle with the ground, you could consider the trigonmetric function

tan23 = chad's length/chads shadow length

tan23 = chad's length/14.3

chad's length = 14.3 * tan23 = 6.1

Jason has 75 feet of wallpaper border. He wants to put up a wallpaper border around his rectangular bedroom that measures 12 fee
Liula [17]
<span>Let's summarize the facts:

the tape is 75 feet long

the bedroom is 12 feet by 14 feet. 

1. Tell how you can critique Jason’s reasoning.

If you want to Critique Jason's reasoning, you could a) ask yourself the same questions that Jason did and see if you would come with the same answers and used the same analysis or b) analyse Jason's answer to see if he did a mistake or missed an important detail and made a thought mistake


2. Critique Jason’s reasoning

 I will use the option b from above:  
? 
</span><span>Jason first multiplied 12 x 14 = 168. This multiplication is correct, but what did he get? He needed to get the perimeter of the bedroom  because it was only the wallpaper border, not the wallpaper itself - so getting the perimeter was needed, but this we get by the formula ( 2* *(length+width), not length* width - as Jason did.
So Jason made a mistake here! his actual answer should be 2*(12+14)=2*26=52, so the tape of 75 feet would have been enough!</span><span>

3. Jason uses an overestimate to decide how many rolls of wallpaper he needs for another’s room. Explain why his reasoning to use an overestimate does or does not make sense

Using an overestimate is often a good idea- in case some of the tape gets damaged, he will have some left. However, since his calculations are wrong by a lot (he multiplies rather than adds and multiplies by 2), his overestimate will be a lot higher than would be practical - he would be left with a lot of leftovers and spend too much money. So his reasoning does not make sense</span>

You are the coach of a basketball team that is currently looking for new players. One of the criteria for selection as a player
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

C = 75 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Assume that the height of all people follows a normal distribution with a mean of 69 in and a standard deviation of 2.9 in.

This means that \mu = 69, \sigma = 2.9

Calculate the cut-off height (C) that ensures only people within the top 2.5% height bracket are allowed into the team.

This is the 100 - 2.5 = 97.5th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.975, so X when Z = 1.96.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.96 = \frac{X - 69}{2.9}

X - 69 = 1.96*2.9

X = 74.7

Rounded to the nearest inch,

C = 75 in
