A framing company is putting out a new product this summer. The width of the frame will be uniform all the way around. The desig

ned frame will be cut out of a piece of steel, and to keep the weight down, the final area of the frame alone should be 100 cm2. The inside of the frame has to be 10 cm by 8 cm. What should the width x of the metal be?
11.2 cm

7.4 cm

3.4 cm

2.2 cm

Answer:

Correct option: Fourth one -> 2.2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The inside of the frame is 10 cm by 8 cm. To find the whole frame, we need to add two times the width of the metal to each dimension, so the final dimension is 10+2x cm by 8+2x cm.

The area of the frame itself is the area with the bigger dimensions (10+2x and 8+2x) minus the inside area (80 cm2)

If the final area is 100 cm2, we have that:

Area = (10+2x) * (8+2x) - 80

100 = 80 + 36x + 4x2 - 80

4x2 + 36x -100 = 0

x2 + 9x - 25 = 0

Using Bhaskara's formula to solve the quadratic function, we have:

Delta = 81 + 4*25 = 181

sqrt(Delta) = 13.45

x1 = (-9 + 13.45)/2 = 2.225 cm

x2 = (-9 - 13.45)/2 = -11.225 cm (not a valid measurement)

So the width x of the metal is 2.2 cm

Correct option: Fourth one

Answer:

Plot the points in black and connect them.

Plot the point in blue and count up 3 and to the right 1. Plot and connect the points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using your cursor/mouse, you will first choose the color black. Then you will plot the points given to you (2,2) and (5,8) by first finding the x-coordinate of (x,y). Start at 2 on the x-axis. Follow the grid line up two units so you will also be at the 2 on the y-axis. Plot or draw a dot/circle on this grid line. Go back to the x-axis and start again at 5 on the x-axis. Follow the grid line up eight units so you will also be at the 8 on the y-axis. Plot or draw a dot/circle on this grid line. Connect the dots for your line.

Using your cursor/mouse, you will choose the color blue. Then you will plot the point given to you (10,5) by first finding the x-coordinate of (x,y). Start at 10 on the x-axis. Follow the grid line up five units so you will also be at the 5 on the y-axis. Plot or draw a dot/circle on this grid line. Instead of plotting another point. This time you will count from the blue point up three units and over to the right one. Mark this grid line as a point. Now connect them.

James surveyed people at school and asked whether they bring their lunch to school or buy their lunch at school more often. The
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The correct option is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Bring lunch : 46 males, 254 females

Buy lunch   : 176 males, 264 females

Total number of peoples is

46+254+176+264=740

Total number of males is

46+176=222

The probability of male is

P(Male)=\frac{Males}{Total}=\frac{222}{740} =0.3

Since probability of males is 0.3, therefore options A and C are incorrect.

Total number of persons who buys lunch is

176+264=440

The probability of persons who buys lunch is

P(\text{Buys lunch})=\frac{\text{Buys lunch}}{Total}=\frac{440}{740} =\frac{22}{37}

We need to find the probability of P(male | buys lunch).

According to the conditional probability, we get

P(\frac{A}{B})=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}

P(male | buys lunch)=\frac{P(\text{male }\cap \text{ buys lunch})}{P(\text{buys lunch})}

P(male | buys lunch)=\frac{\frac{176}{740}}{\frac{22}{37}}

P(male | buys lunch)=\frac{2}{5}=0.4

Therefore the correct option is 4.

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

9.6

Step-by-step explanation:

When we are adding decimals we try 2 add them like normal integers, but in the end we add the decimal in the same place as it was in the beginning

so 62+34=96 and there's a decimal in the tenths place so its 9.6
