Answer:

3 1/5 spoons of chocolate syrup.

Step-by-step explanation:

You should try to convert mixed numbers into improper fractions because they are easier to work with. You can do this by multiplying the whole number by the denominator and then adding the numerator:

2 2/3 = 8/3

2 2/4 = 10/4 = 5/2

Now we need to set up a ratio:

(8/3)/(5/2)

So now we know the existing ratio of syrup over milk, we need to set up the unknown ratio. I'll use x as the variable:

x/3 (I put the gallons of milk on the bottom because in the previous ratio we also put the milk on the bottom. X means that we don't know the number yet.)

Now we set these two ratios equal to each other:

(8/3)/(5/2)=x/3

Then we cross multiply and set up an equation:

3*(8/3)=(5/2)x

Now we just solve:

8=(5/2)x

8*(2/5)=(2/5)*(5/2)x

16/5=x

3 1/5 = x

A set of electric toothbrush prices are normally distributed with a mean of 87 dollars and a standard deviation of
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The proportion of electric toothbrush prices are between 104.60 dollars and 108.20 dollars is 0.0099

Step-by-step explanation:

A set of electric toothbrush prices are normally distributed with a mean of 87 dollars and a standard deviation of  8 dollars.

Mean = \mu = 87

Standard deviation = \sigma = 8

We are supposed to find proportion of electric toothbrush prices are between 104.60 dollars and 108.20 dollars i.e.P(104.60<x<108.20)

Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

At x = 104.60

Z=\frac{104.60-87}{8}

Z= 2.2

At x=108.20

Z=\frac{108.20-87}{8}

Z= 2.65

Refer the z table for p value :

P(x<108.20)-P(x<104.60)=P(Z<2.65)-P(Z<2.2)=0.9960-0.9861=0.0099

Hence The proportion of electric toothbrush prices are between 104.60 dollars and 108.20 dollars is 0.0099

Ivory says that the equation 2x+2=x+1 has no solution because the left-hand side is double the right-hand side. Is Ivory Correct
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

No, Ivory is incorrect. The equation does have a solution, and the solution is x = -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We try to solve the equation first.

2x + 2 = x + 1

We want all variables on the left side and all numbers on the right side.

Subtract x from both sides.

x + 2 = 1

Subtract 2 from both sides.

x = -1

Check: Plug in -1 for x on both sides and see if it makes a true statement.

2x + 2 = x + 1

2(-1) + 2 = -1 + 1

-2 + 2 = 0

0 = 0

0 = 0 is a true statement, so the solution x = -1 is the correct solution.

Answer: Ivory is incorrect. The equation does have a solution, and the solution is x = -1.
