Answer:

520 loaves

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find how many white loaves he baked.

Let's make a proportion.

white loaves/brown loaves= white loaves/brown loaves

He baked 3 white loaves for every 2 brown loaves. He baked x white loaves for 208 brown loaves.

3/2=x/208

Now, we have to solve for x. To do this, we have to get x by itself. x is being divided by 208. To reverse this, multiply both sides by 208

208*3/2=x/208*208

208*3/2=x

312=x

He baked 312 white loaves.

Now, we have to find the total number of loaves he baked.

To do this, add the brown loaves and the white loaves.

brown loaves+white loaves

He baked 208 brown loaves and 312 white loaves

208+312

520

He baked 520 loaves in total

Answer:

4 ± 1/2sqrt(x) = y

This is not a function

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (8-2x)^2

y = (8-2x)^2

To find the inverse function, exchange x and y and then solve for y

x = (8-2y)^2

Take the square root of each side

±sqrt(x) = 8-2y

Subtract 8 from each side

-8±sqrt(x) = 8-8-2y

-8±sqrt(x) = -2y

Divide by -2

-8/-2± 1/2sqrt(x) = -2/-2y

4 ± 1/2sqrt(x) = y

This is not a function

The inner circle circumference is 52 ft. the distance between the inner and the outer circle is 8ft. By how many ft is the outer

rjkz [21]

Answer:

The outer circle is 16 feet larger than the inner circle (68 - 52).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the inner circle circumference is 52 feet, and the distance between the inner and the outer circle is 8 feet, to determine by how many ft is the larger outer circle, the following calculation must be performed:

The radius of a circle is equal to half its diameter. Therefore, the radius of the inner circle is 26 feet. Thus, if the distance between the two circles is 8 feet, the radius of the outer circle is 34 feet (26 + 8). Therefore, the diameter of this circle is 68 feet (34 x 2).

This implies that the outer circle is 16 feet larger than the inner circle (68 - 52).

A sneaker company can make 50 pairs of sneakers for every 6 yards of material. Make a table to show the relation between materia

Law Incorporation [45]

A sneaker company can make 50 pairs of sneakers for every 6 yards of material.

Then in each case you can consider proportion.

1. 50 pairs -- 6 yards,

80 pairs -- x yards.

Mathematically,

$\dfrac{50}{80}=\dfrac{6}{x},\\ \\x=\dfrac{80\cdot 6}{50}=9.6\ yards.$

2. 50 pairs -- 6 yards,

100 pairs -- x yards.

Mathematically,

$\dfrac{50}{100}=\dfrac{6}{x},\\ \\x=\dfrac{100\cdot 6}{50}=12\ yards.$

3. 50 pairs -- 6 yards,

120 pairs -- x yards.

Mathematically,

$\dfrac{50}{120}=\dfrac{6}{x},\\ \\x=\dfrac{120\cdot 6}{50}=14.4\ yards.$

4. 50 pairs -- 6 yards,

140 pairs -- x yards.

Mathematically,

$\dfrac{50}{140}=\dfrac{6}{x},\\ \\x=\dfrac{140\cdot 6}{50}=16.8\ yards.$

Thus, the table is

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Pairs}&\text{Yards}\\50&6\\80&9.6\\100&12\\120&14.4\\140&16.8\end{array}$

The domain of the relation is the set $\{50,80,100,120,140\}$ and the range of the relation is $\{6,9.6,12,14.4,16.8\}.$ See attached diagram for the graph of the relation.
