Answer: 18 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

Quantity of sparkling water and gape juice are used in proportion in  the recipe.

Let x=  quantity of sparkling water when 9 quarts of grape juice is used.

Then,

\dfrac{x}{9}=\dfrac{1\dfrac12}{\dfrac34}\\\\\Rightarrow\ =\dfrac{x}{9}=\dfrac{\dfrac32}{\dfrac34}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{x}{9}=\dfrac{4}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x= 2\times9\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=18

Hence, 18 quarts of sparkling water is required to mix with 9 quarts of grape juice.

To solve this problem, you'd want to start by finding the mean of the given numbers. To find the mean, add all the numbers together and divide by how many there are.

Next, you'll see that the question says one of the rents changes from $1130 to $930. So find the mean of all the numbers again, except include $930 in your calculation instead of $1130.

I got $990 as the mean for the given numbers, and $970 as the mean after replacing the $1130 with $930. Subtracting the two means gives you $20. So the mean decreased by $20.

Now for the median, all you need to do is find the median of the given numbers and compare them with the median of the new data. Because there are ten terms, you have to add the middle two numbers and divide by two. $990 + $1020 = 2010. 2010÷2 = $1005 as the first median.

The new rent is 930, so you have to reorder the data so it goes from least to greatest again. 745, 915, 925, 930, 965, 990, 1020, 1040, 1050, 1120. After finding the median again you get 977.5. Subtracting the two medians gives you $27.5 as how much the median decreased. Hope this helps!

For the system of equations that follows, use Gaussian elimination to obtain an equivalent system whose coefficient matrix is in
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 0 & 0& 46/41 &180/41\\0 & 1 & 0&1/41 &-5/41\\0&0 & 1 & -8/41& -42/41\end{Vmatrix}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

System of equations given as

x₁ + 3x₂ + x₃ + x₄ = 3;

2x₁ - 2x₂ + x₃ + 2x₄ = 8;

x₁ - 5x₂ + x₄ = 5

Matrix form

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\2 & -2 & 1&2&8\\0&1 & -5 & 1& 5\end{Vmatrix}  \begin{Vmatrix}x_1\\x_2\\x_3\\x_4\end{Vmatrix}

Generally the echelon reduction is mathematically applied as

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\2 & -2 & 1&2&8\\0&1 & -5 & 1& 5\end{Vmatrix}

Add -2 times the 1st row to the 2nd row

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\0 & -8 & -1&0&2\\0&1 & -5 & 1& 5\end{Vmatrix}

Multiply the 2nd row by -1/8  

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\0 & 1 & 1/8&0&-1/4\\0&1 & -5 & 1& 5\end{Vmatrix}

Add -1 times the 2nd row to the 3rd row

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\0 & 1 & 1/8&0&-1/4\\0&0 & -41/8 & 1& 21/4\end{Vmatrix}

Multiply the 3rd row by -8/41

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\0 & 1 & 1/8&0&-1/4\\0&0 & 1 & -8/41& -42/41\end{Vmatrix}

Add -1/8 times the 3rd row to the 2nd row

Add -1 times the 3rd row to the 1st row

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 0&49/41&165/41\\0 & 1 & 0&1/41 &-5/41\\0&0 & 1 & -8/41& -42/41\end{Vmatrix}

Add -3 times the 2nd row to the 1st row

\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 0 & 0& 46/41 &180/41\\0 & 1 & 0&1/41 &-5/41\\0&0 & 1 & -8/41& -42/41\end{Vmatrix}

Find the surface area of a square prism with a side measure of 6.
Vesnalui [34]
The surface area of any solid is the summation of all the areas of its faces. For a square prism, the surface area is therefore calculated through the equation,
                             A = 6e²
where A is area and e is the measure of the side. 

From the given above, it is stated that the edge of the prism measures 6. Substituting this value to the equation above,
                            A = (6)(6²)
                              A = 216
Therefore, the surface area of the given prism is equal to 216 square units.

Solve for x. Your answer must be simplified. -3 &lt; x/-4
Harman [31]

Answer:

x<12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your inequality step-by-step.

−3< x/ −4

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.

−3< −1/ 4 x

Step 2: Flip the equation.

−1/ 4 x>−3

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 4/(-1).

( 4/ −1 )*( −1/ 4 x)>( 4 /−1 )*(−3)

x<12

Answer:

x<12
