Answer:

The factory made 3 batches of granola bars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

1/6 barrel of raisins is used in each batch of granola bars.

1/6 barrel = 1 batch

1/2 barrel = x batches

As the relationship is proportional,

1/6 : 1 :: 1/2 : x

Product of mean = Product of extreme

\frac{1}{6}x=\frac{1}{2}

Multiplying both sides by 6

6*\frac{1}{6}x=\frac{1}{2}*6\\x=3

Hence,

The factory made 3 batches of granola bars.

A soccer team won only 10 of their first 30 games. How many of their remaining 20 games will they have to win to have a .500 rec
jeka94

Answer: 5 games

Step-by-step explanation: A .500 record means that the soccer team won half of their games ( that's how I interpret it). Since they are going to play 30 games, they need to win half of 30 or 15 games to have that record. 15-10 = 5. So, they need to win 5 more games to have a .500 record.

A jar contains 2 orange, 4 green, 2 white and 2 black balls. What is the probability of drawing an orange ball without putting i
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

2/45

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that:

A jar contains 2 orange, 4 green, 2 white and 2 black balls.

The total number of balls in the jar is calculated as:

2 orange balls + 4 green balls + 2 white balls + 2 black balls = 10 balls

The probability of drawing an orange ball = P(Orange) = 2/10

The probability of drawing a black ball = P(Black) = 2/10

Therefore, the probability of drawing an orange ball without putting it back, then drawing a black ball is calculated as:

2/10 × 2/9 = 4/90

= 2/45

What are the zeros of the polynomial function f(x) = x3 - 2x2 - 24x? (1 point)
vodka [1.7K]

f(x) = x³ - 2x² - 24x

x³ - 2x² - 24x = 0

x(x² - 2x - 24) = 0

x = 0

x² - 2x - 24 = 0

a = 1, b = -2, c = -24

Delta = (-2)² - 4 * 1 * (-24) = 4 + 96 = 100

x = (-(-2) - 10)/(2 * 1) = -8/2 = -4

x = (-(-2) + 10)/(2 * 1) = 12/2 = 6

Answer: 2)
