Noelle has containers that each hold one gallon of liquid. She used these containers to dispose of waste from the chemistry labo

ratory. She collected 3 quarts 1 pint of liquid from the first table, 4 quarts from the second table, 2 quarts from the third table , and 3 quarts 1 pint from the fourth table. What is the least number of containers Alyssa needed to collect the waste ? ( 4 quarts = 1 gallon , 2 pints = 1 quart )

Answer:

4 containers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Noelle collected 3 quarts 1 pint of liquid from the first table, the amount of liquid collected in quarts is 3 quarts + 1 pint = 3 quarts + 1 pint × 1 quarts/2 pints = 3 quarts + 0.5 quarts = 3.5 quarts.

She also collected 4 quarts from the second table, 2 quarts from the third table.

Finally, she collected collected 3 quarts 1 pint of liquid from the fourth table, the amount of liquid collected in quarts is 3 quarts + 1 pint = 3 quarts + 1 pint × 1 quarts/2 pints = 3 quarts + 0.5 quarts = 3.5 quarts.

So, the total amount of liquid she collected in quarts is V = 3.5 quarts + 4 quarts + 2 quarts + 3.5 quarts = 7.5 quarts + 5.5 quarts = 13 quarts

We now convert this value to gallons to know the amount of containers Noelle needs since she has one gallon containers.

13 quarts = 13 × 1 quarts = 13 quarts × 1 gallon/4 quarts = 13/4 gallons = 3.25 gallons

Since the total amount of liquid is 3.25 gallons = 3 gallons + 0.25 gallons, Noelle would need 4 containers since 3 containers would contain the first 3 gallons and the fourth container would contain the remaining 0.25 gallons.

So, Alyssa would need 4 containers.

How do I rewrite a quadratic into graphing form
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form of a quadratic is f(x) = ax² + bx + c.

To convert to vertex form, the simplest method is to find the x-coordinate of the vertex using h = -b/(2a).

Then, plug back into the equation to find the y-coordinate of the vertex.  k = f(h).

Finally, the leading coefficient is the same as the standard form, a.

f(x) = a(x − h)² + k

Another method is to complete the square.

What is the equivalent expression for 2x + 8y​
klio [65]

If this helps you consider making it brainliest as it helps me out.

2(x+4y) is the equivalent expression.

Let’s say x = 1 and y = 2

Then 2x + 8y would be 18

Same thing for 2(x+4y)

Hope this helps!

Vail Resorts pays part-time seasonal employees at ski resorts on an hourly basis. At a certain mountain, the hourly rates have a
notsponge [240]

Answer:

z=0.842

And if we solve for a we got

\mu=13.16 +0.842*3=15.69

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the hourly rates of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(\mu,3)  

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>13.16)=0.20   (a)

P(X   (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.80 of the area on the left and 0.20 of the area on the right it's z=0.842. On this case P(Z<0.842)=0.8 and P(z>0.842)=0.20

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=0.842

And if we solve for a we got

\mu=13.16 +0.842*3=15.69
