A florist gathered data about the weekly number of flower deliveries he made to homes and to businesses for several weeks. He us

ed a graphing tool to organize the data in a scatter plot, with x representing the number of home deliveries and y representing the number of deliveries to businesses. Then he used the graphing tool to find the equation of the line of best fit: y = 0.555x + 1.629. Based on the line of best fit, approximately how many deliveries are predicted to be made to homes during a week with 50 deliveries to businesses?

Answer:

The number of deliveries that are predicted to be made to homes during a week with 50 deliveries to business is 87 deliveries

Step-by-step explanation:

The data categorization are;

The number of home deliveries = x

The number of delivery to businesses = y

The line of best fit is y = 0.555·x + 1.629

The number of deliveries that would be made to homes when 50 deliveries are made to businesses is found as follows;

We substitute y = 50 in the line of best fit to get;

50 = 0.555·x + 1.629 =

50 - 1.629 = 0.555·x

0.555·x = 48.371

x = 48.371/0.555= 87.155

Therefore, since we are dealing with deliveries, we approximate to the nearest whole number delivery which is 87 deliveries.

Patrick went cycling one weekend.
Margarita [4]
For this question, it would be most effective to use an algebraic expression to more easily show what the question is asking. If we use the variable "k" to show the distance in km that he cycled on Sunday, we know that the amount he cycled on Saturday equals k + 12, and the amount that he cycled on the weekend should be the amount of Saturday plus the amount of Sunday. If we write this as an equation we say:
k + k + 12 = 38
=> 2k + 12 = 38
Now we can just rearrange and solve for k:
=> 2k = 26
=> k = 26/2 = 13
Therefore Patrick cycled 13km on Sunday
To solve the answer, we just add 12km to the value for Sunday like so:
12 + 13 = the amount he cycled on Sunday
Hope this helped, remember to please try and understand the maths as well as the answer :))

Each day her goal is to make 4 more baskets than she made thr day before. If she makes 10 baskets the first day and meets her go
irina [24]

Answer:

Janelle will make <u>62 baskets</u> on 14th day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of goals on 1st day = 10

We need to find the number of goals on 14th day.

Solution,

Since Janelle made 10 goals on 1st day and want to make 4 more basket from the day before.

So we can say that;

a_1=10   and    d=4

And also n=14

here a_1 = first term

d = common difference

n = number of terms

Now we apply the formula of A.P.

T_n=a_1+(n-1)d

now substituting the given values, we get;

T_{14}=10+(14-1)4\\\\T_{14}=10+13\times 4\\\\T_{14}=10+52 =62

Hence Janelle will make <u>62 basket</u> on 14th day.

Polly buys 14 cupcakes for a party. The bakery puts them into boxes that hold 4 cupcakes each.
Temka [501]

Answer:

Part a) The number of boxes needed will be 4

part b) The fraction of the box that is empty is \frac{1}{2}

Part c) Are needed 2 cupcakes to fill the last box

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) How many boxes will be needed for Polly to bring all the cupcakes to the party?

To find out the number of boxes needed, divide the total number of cupcakes by 4 (maximum number of cupcakes that fit in each box).

so

\frac{14}{4}=3.5\ box

Round up

The number of boxes needed will be 4

Part b) If the bakery completely fills as many boxes as possible, what fraction of the last box is empty?

we know that

The maximum number of cupcakes per box is 4

The first three boxes have 4 cupcakes

The last box has

14-3(4)=2\ cupcakes

The fraction of the box that is empty is equal to the number of cupcakes missing to fill the box divided by the cupcake capacity of the box

\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}

Part c) How many more cupcakes are needed to fill this box

Subtract the number of cupcakes in the box from the cupcake capacity of the box

The last box has 2 cupcakes

The cupcake capacity of the box is 4

so

4-2=2\ cupcakes

therefore

Are needed 2 cupcakes to fill the last box
