Answer:

peanut butter cookies:8

sugar cookies:2

chocolate chip cookies:5

ratio: 4:1:2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

x=peanut butter cookies

y=sugar cookies

a=chocolate chip cookies

40=2x+3y+3.6a

15=x+y+a

x=a+3

15=(a+3)+y+a

y=12-2a

40=2(a+3)+3(12-2a)+3.6a

a=5

x=8

y=2

Annie walks 15 feet away from her house and places a mirror on the ground. She backs 4 feet away from the mirror so that she can
artcher [175]

Answer:

The house is 18.75 feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar by the AA postulate.  

We are given the length of the bottom sides of the triangles, 4 and 15 respectively.  

Thus, the ratio is 4:15

We are also given the height of Annie's eyes, which is 5 feet. The height of the side that corresponds to the house is 5, so we can set up a proportion.

\frac{4}{15}  = \frac{5}{x} \\4x = (5*15) = 75\\x = \frac{74}{4} \\x = 18.75

Thus, the house is 18.75 feet tall.

A survey is made to determine the number of households having electric appliances in a certain city. It is found that 75% have r
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The probability that a household has at least one of these appliances is 0.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of households having radios P(R) = 75% = 0.75

Percentage of households having electric irons P(I) = 65% = 0.65

Percentage of households having electric toasters P(T) = 55% = 0.55

Percentage of household having iron and radio P(I∩R) = 50% = 0.5

Percentage of household having radios and toasters P(R∩T) = 40% = 0.40

Percentage of household having iron and toasters P(I∩T) = 30% = 0.30

Percentage of household having all three P(I∩R∩T) = 20% = 0.20

Probability of households having at least one of the appliance can be calculated using the rule:

P(at least one of the three) = P(R) +P(I) + P(T) - P(I∩R) - P(R∩T) - P(I∩T) + P(I∩R∩T)

P(at least one of the three)=0.75 + 0.65 + 0.55 - 0.50 - 0.40 - 0.30 + 0.20  P(at least one of the three) = 0.95

The probability that a household has at least one of these appliances is 0.95

Answer:

9) 844cm^2 10) 15,000in^3 11) 240cm^3 12) 480in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

9) A= 200 A=160 A=192 A=192 A=100

200+160= 360+192= 552+192= 744+100=844cm^2

for #9 i divided the figure into 5 parts and got the area of each one and added all of the totally areas to get the final answer

10) A= 20*30= 600*25= 15,000in^3

11) A= 2*5= 10*4= 40cm^2 (cheese) A= 40*6= 240cm^3

12) 12*10= 120*4= 480in^3
