Answer:

kiwis = $1.5

mangoes = $2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Two equations can be derived from the question

2m + 3k = 9 equation 1

5m + 2k = 14.25 equation 2

m = mangoes

k = kiwis

multiply equation 1 by 5 and 2 by 2

10m + 15k = 45 equation 3

10m +4k = 28.5 equation 4

Subtract equation 4 from 3

11k = 16.5

k = 1.5

Substitute for k in equation 1

2m + 3(1.5) = 9

2m + 4.5 = 9

2m = 4.5

m = 2.25

Given:
3 teaspoons of salt for every 5 cups of flour.

How much salt is needed for 15 cups of flour?

This is a proportion problem:
a/b = c/d where ad = bc

3/5 = x/15
3*15 = 5x
45 = 5x
45/5 = x
9 = x

C. 9 teaspoons of salt is needed for 15 cups of flour.

3/5 = 9/15
3*15 = 5*9
45 = 45

Answer: 0.4667

Step-by-step explanation:

According to 68–95–99.7 rule , About  99.7% of all data values lies with in 3 standard deviations from population mean (\mu).

Here , margin of error = 3s , where s is standard deviation.

As per given , we have want our sample mean \overline{x} to estimate μ μ with an error of no more than 1.4 point in either direction.

If 99.7% of all samples give an \overline{x} within 1.4 , it means that

3s=1.4

Divide boths ides by 3 , we get

s=0.466666666667\approx0.4667

Hence, So \overline{x} must have 0.4667 as standard deviation so that 99.7 % 99.7% of all samples give an \overline{x} within 1.4 point of μ .
