Answer:

450 portugals

Step-by-step explanation:

in this question, we are tasked with calculating the number of portugals which are picked by the farmer

Firstly, let the number of portugals picked be p and the number of oranges picked be r.

Thus;

p + r = 600 ••••••••••(i)

Secondly there are 3 times as many oranges as there are portugals;

That would be;

3 * r = p

3r = p. •••••••••(ii)

substitute ii into i

3r + r = 600

4r = 600

r = 600/4

r = 150

P = 3r

p = 3 * 150 = 450

Geometry Homework: Find m<Q
White raven [17]
Answer: angle Q = 75 degrees

--------------------------------------------

The tickmarks on segments PR and PQ indicate they are congruent, ie PR = PQ. Because of this, the base angles R and Q (opposite the segments mentioned) are congruent

Angle R = Angle Q
Since angle R is (2x+15) degrees, so is angle Q

Now use the idea that adding three angles of a triangle leads to 180 degrees
P+Q+R = 180
x+(2x+15)+(2x+15) = 180
5x+30 = 180
5x = 180-30
5x = 150
x = 150/5
x = 30

If x = 30, then angle Q is 
angle Q = (2x+15) degrees
angle Q = (2*x+15) degrees
angle Q = (2*30+15) degrees
angle Q = (60+15) degrees
angle Q = 75 degrees

The mean time between failures (MTBF) is a common metric used to measure the performance of manufacturing systems. MTBF is the e
xeze [42]

Answer:

0.2287

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability that the automated manufacturing system runs for more than 18 hours without a failure is shown below:

P(X > 17) = 1 - P(X < 17)

= 1 - [1 - e^-18 ÷ 12.2]]

= 1 - [1 -0.228684984 ]

= 0.2287
