Answer:

9 cans of tomato soup

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that only cans of tomato soup and cans of chicken soup are put on the shelf.

Now, we are told that the ratio of the number of cans of chicken noodle soup to the total number of cans on the shelf was 8 to 17.

In fraction, this is 8/17

Now, this implies that there are 8 cans of chicken noodle soup while there are a total of 17 cans on the shelf.

Thus,

Since only cans of chicken noodles and cans of tomato soup are on the shelf, it means;

Cans of tomato soup = 17 - 8 = 9

bezimeni [28]
Jar 1 : 16 red, 4 blue....total = 20
P(blue) = 4/20 reduces to 1/5

jar 2 : 75 white,25 blue...total = 100
P(blue) = 25/100 reduces to 1/4

P(blue,blue) = 1/5 * 1/4 = 1/20 or 0.05 or 5%

What is the domain of the function y= square root x?
Goryan [66]

The domain of a function is the set of values of the independent variable for which the function is defined. The square root function is defined for all non-negative real numbers. So, ...

The domain of

 y = √x

is all real numbers greater than or equal to zero. (x ≥ 0)

_____

In some cases, there may be other limits on the domain of a function. A function may be defined for all values of mass, for example, but is of no practical use for values of mass greater than the mass of the known universe (or planet Earth, perhaps).
