Answer:

$150$ potatoes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the assistant can peel $18$ potatoes in $6$ minutes, we know that he can peel $\frac{18}{6}=3$ potatoes in $1$ minute. Therefore, he will be able to peel $3*50=150$ potatoes in $50$ minutes. Hope this helps!

snog used unitary method to find the answer.

ALITER:-

Given,

Potatoes peeled in 6 minutes = 18

Let, potatoes cooked in 50 minutes = k

Here, more the time passes, the more the assistant peels potatoes.

∴ It is a case of direct variation,

where,

x/y = k (constant)

So, 18/6 = k/50 (potatoes peeled/time)

⇒ k = 3 × 50 = 150 (answer).

Suppose a normal distribution has a mean of 62 and a standard deviation of4. What is the probability that a data value is betwee

saw5 [17]

SOLUTION

From the given data the mean is 62 and standard deviation is 4

It is required to find the probability that a data value is between 57 and 62

That is:

$P(57\lt x\lt65)$

The z scores is calculated using:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

Using the x values it follows:

$z=\frac{57-62}{4}=-1.25$

Also,

$z=\frac{65-62}{4}=0.75$

Thus the required probability is:

$P(-1.25The proability is:[tex]P(-1.25This can be expressed as percentage as:[tex]P(-1.25\lt z\lt0.75)=66.8\%$

Therefore the correct option is C

The number of kilograms of water in a human body varies directly as the mass of the body. An 87-kg person contains 58 kg of wat

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

50 kg water.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the number of kilograms of water in a human body varies directly as the mass of the body.

We know that two directly proportional quantities are in form $y=kx$ , where y varies directly with x and k is constant of variation.

We are told that an 87-kg person contains 58 kg of water. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$58=k\cdot 87$

Let us find the constant of variation as:

$\frac{58}{87}=\frac{k\cdot 87}{87}$

$\frac{29*2}{29*3}=k$

$\frac{2}{3}=k$

The equation $y=\frac{2}{3}x$ represents the relation between water (y) in a human body with respect to mass of the body (x).

To find the amount of water in a 75-kg person, we will substitute $x=75$ in our given equation and solve for y.

$y=\frac{2}{3}(75)$

$y=2(25)$

$y=50$

Therefore, there are 50 kg of water in a 75-kg person.

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation? y=8x+3y=8x+3

Mrac [35]

Multiply the first equation by 4 (so that both equations will have 8x terms) and then subtract:

8x-20y = -24

8x +3y = 68

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

0 -23y = -92

Now divide both sides by -23:

y = 4

Find x by plugging y=4 into either equation:

8x +3(4) = 68

8x = 68 - 12

8x = 56

x = 7

So the answer is ordered pair is (7,4)

If a = − 65 and b = 8, the product of a x b models which rule for multiplying integers? What is the product?

DedPeter [7]

Given, a = -65 and b = 8.

We have to find multiplication of them.

a is negative and b is positive. When we multiply them, we know that the multiplication of positive and negative is negative. That means $(+)(-) = -$ .

So $(a)(b) = (-65)(8)$

= $(-)(+)(65)(8)$ = $- (65)(8)$ = $-520$

So we have got the required product.

Multiplication of a and b = -520.

The correct option is option C.
