You have a giant bag of M&Ms and are wondering how many there are. You notice that there don’t seem to be nearly as many

Answer:

800 M &Ms

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can operate on the estimate that the proportion of M&Ms of the sample is equal to the proportion of M&Ms in the giant bag.

Therefore,

number of orange M&Ms in sample / sample size = number of orange M&Ms in bag / bag size

3/50 = 48 / bag size

multiply both sides by 50 to remove a denominator

3  = 48 * 50 / bag size

multiply both sides by bag size to remove the other denominator

3 * bag size = 48 * 50

divide both sides by 3 to isolate bag size

bag size = 48 * 50 / 3

bag size  = 800 M &Ms

It takes 6 hours to drive 342 mi. He will drive for 8 hours tomorrow. if he drives at the same rate, how far will Aron drive in
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

456 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions to solve

342 miles        x miles

------------   = --------------

6 hours           8 hours

Using cross products

342 * 8 = 6x

2736 = 6x

Divide by 6

2736/6 = x

456 miles

Solve (D*D + 4)y = x + cos²x​
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

(D^2 + 9)y = cos 2x….(1). The corresponding homogeneous equation is (D^2 +9)y= 0,…(2), whose auxiliary equation is m^2 + 9 = 0, which has (+/-)3i as roots. The general solution of (2) is y = A.cos(3x) + B.sin(3x). Now to get a general solution of (1) we have just to add to the above, a particular solution of (1). One such solution is [cos(2x)]/[-2^2 +9] = (1/5).cos 2x. Hence a general solution of the given equation is given by y = A.cos(3x) + B.sin(3x) + (1/5)cos(2x), where A and B are arbitrary constants. The above solution incorporates all the solutions of the given equation.

Julia bought the same number iphones for 3 coupons each and bought the same number Android phones for 4 coupons each. She got 20 coupons too. Please find quantity of iphones they will get and quantity of Android phones sold by Jim and got by Julia

{7x-4y=20
+
{3x+4y=20

10x=40
x=4
28-4y=20
4y=8
y=2

Answer
x=4; y=2

Jim and Julia bought 8 iphones and Jim sold 2 Android phones. Julia bought 2 Android phones.
