Answer: $\dfrac{7}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : When a coin is tossed twice , the total outcomes will become

HHH , HHT , HTH , THH , TTH , THT , HTT ,TTT

Total outcomes = 8

Favorable outcomes to obtain 1 and 3 inclusive = HHT , HTH , THH , TTH , THT , HTT ,TTT

Number of favorable outcomes = 7

Probability that the number of tails obtained will be between 1 and 3 inclusive = $\dfrac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}$

$=\dfrac{7}{8}$

Hence, the probability that the number of tails obtained will be between 1 and 3 inclusive $=\dfrac{7}{8}$

Jackson bought 555 ounces of raisins for \$4$4dollar sign, 4.

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Part a) The raisins cost $0.8 per ounce

Part b) 1.25 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>

Jackson bought 5 ounces of raisins for $4 dollars.

a) How much do raisins cost per ounce?

b) How many ounces of raisins can be bought for $1?

Part a) How much do raisins cost per ounce?

we know that

To find out the unit rate divide the total cost by the total weight

$\frac{4}{5} =\$0.8\ per\ ounce$

therefore

The raisins cost $0.8 per ounce

Part b) How many ounces of raisins can be bought for $1?

we know that

The raisins cost $0.8 per ounce

using proportion

Find out how many ounces of raisins can be bought for $1

Let

x -----> the ounces of raisins

$\frac{1}{0.8}=\frac{x}{1}\\\\x= 1.25\ ounces$

A photo that measure 5 inches in length by 7 inches in width is enlarged to 7.5 inches in length. What is the width?

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use ratios to solve this problem.

The original dimensions of the photo is

5 in. by 7 in.

This can be written as:

5:7

And the next is 7.5:?

Then you can use ratios to solve this.

5:7=

7.5:?

5*1.5=7.5 so you can multiply the other side by the same thing. 7*1.5=10.5

The width is 10.5 inches.

The cost and revenue functions for producing and selling x units of a product are given. Cost and revenue are expressed in dolla

Flauer [41]

Answer:

(A) the number of units produced and sold at break-even point is the value of X and that is 1.126 units.

(B) the dollar amount coming in and going out at this point/level is the price of X and that is 0.37 dollars

where pie (the symbol "π") represents PROFIT.

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) C(x) = 75x + 84 ...(equation 1)

660R(x) = 245x

R(x) = 245x ÷ 660 = 0.3712x

So R(x) = 0.3712x ...(equation 2)

To find X, equate the cost function to the revenue function

75x + 84 = 0.3712x

X = -1.126units

Since quantity cannot be negative in real life situation, we use the modulus of X in place of the above value.

|X| = 1.126 hence X = 1.126 now

Since we equated cost to revenue in order to get this quantity X, X is the quantity produced and sold at break even point.

Break-even point is the point where cost = revenue

This is also the point where profit is zero because profit = revenue - cost

(B) Revenue = Price × Quantity

R = P×Q

Our revenue here is 0.3712x

Which is equal to 0.418 dollars

So P = R÷Q

Price = 0.418÷1.126 = 0.37 dollars
