Answer:

Part A

x + y ≤ 460

2.5·x + 1.25·y ≥ 600

Part B

192 bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The selling price of a can of lemonade = $2.50

The selling price for each bottle of water = $1.25

The amount the club needs to raise to cover the cost of renting costumes, A = $600

The maximum acceptable cans and bottles = 460

Part A

Let 'x', represent the number of cans of lemonade accepted by the students, and let 'y' represent the number of bottles of water accepted, we have;

The situation can be represented by the following system of inequalities

x + y ≤ 460

2.5·x + 1.25·y ≥ 600

Part B

The number of cans of lemonade sold, x = 144

Therefore, we have;

2.5 × 144 + 1.25·y ≥ 600

1.25·y ≥ 600 - 2.5 × 144 = 240

1.25·y ≥ 240

y ≥ 240/1.25 = 192

y ≥ 192

The least number of bottles of water that must be sold to cover the cost of renting costumes, y = 192 bottles

Andrea recorded the points she scored in her last eight basketball games. What is the mean absolute deviation of the scores

grandymaker [24]

The mean absolute deviation is a measure of variability in statistics. This number tells us how close the rest of the numbers are to the mean. The closer they are to the mean, the more reliable the data is.

The attached work shows how to find the MAD (mean absolute deviation).

Here are the steps:
1. Find the mean of the data. 2. Find the difference between the mean and the data values. 3. Find the average of these differences.

If you have ever swum in a pool and your eyes began to sting and turn red, you are aware of the effects on an incorrect pH level

RSB [31]

1. Create a graph of the pH function. Locate on your graph where the pH value is 0 and where it is 1. You may need to zoom in on your graph.
The pH value is 1 at the orange dot, and is 1 at the red dot. 
The transformation p(t+1) results in a y-intercept. 

In this graph, the blue line is the original and first parent function p(t) = –log10 t. The pink line represent p(t) + 1, the transformation shifts up the y-axis by 1, but the p(t) + 1 transformation does not result in a y-intercept like the ones prior. The gold line represents p(t +1), which shifts horizontally by 1 to the left. This does result in a y-intercept, because the graph doesn't completely flip over the line to the other side, and the green line represents -1*p(t), which causes the graph to flip upside down, and doesn't end up as a y- intercept.

Steve made 9 3/6 cups of pancake batter on a weekend camping trip. He used 3 4/6 cios of batter for breakfast on Saturday. Write

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

9 3/6 ⇒ 19/2

3 4/6 ⇒ 11/3

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction greater than one is an improper fraction.

$9\frac{3}{6}$ when converted into an improper fraction is

$9\frac{3}{6} =9+\frac{3}{6} \\\\=\frac{9*6}{6}+ \frac{3}{6}\\\\ =\frac{54}{6}+ \frac{3}{6}=\frac{57}{6}\\\\ =\boxed{\frac{19}{2}. }$

$3\frac{4}{6}$ when converted to a fraction is

$3\frac{4}{6}=3+\frac{4}{6}\\\\=\frac{3*6}{6}+ \frac{4}{\\\\6}\\\\=\frac{18}{6}+\frac{4}{6}=\frac{22}{6}\\\\=\boxed{\frac{11}{3}. }$

Thus fractions $9\frac{3}{6}$ and $3\frac{4}{6}$ when converted to fractions greater than one are $\frac{19}{2}$ and $\frac{11}{3}$ respectively.

Seema deposited $800 in a saving account earning 2.88% compounded annually. To the nearest cent, how much will she have in 16 ye

ehidna [41]

Answer:

1260.04

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for compound interest is:

A = P(1+ $\frac{r}{n}$ $)^{nt}$ where A is the final amount, P is the initial principal balance, r is the interest rate, n is the number of times interest applied per time period and t is the number of time periods elapsed. Since the deposit was compounded annually, just like the interest, we can omit the n in the equation.

Applying the formula to question:

800(1+ $\frac{2.88}{100}$ $)^{16}$ = 1260.04 (rounded off to nearest cent since it's money)
