Answer:

6.25 cups of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make a proportion expression:

2.5/48 = x/120

Let x be the amount of sugar needed to make 120 sugar cookies.

Cross multiply:

120*2.5=48x

48x=300

x=6.25

So, you would need 6 1/4 cups or 6.25 cups of sugar to make 120 sugar cookies.

Ten members of the academic team went to a local restaurant after their contest. Each meal combo that came with soda cost $6.75,

Aneli [31]

Answer:

7 ordered with Soda;

3 ordered with water

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$m \to$ With water

$n \to$ With Soda

So:

$m + n =10$ --- total

$5m + 6.75n = 62.25$ -- cost

Required

Find m and n

$m + n =10$

Make m the subject

$m = 10 - n$

Substitute $m = 10 - n$ in $5m + 6.75n = 62.25$

$5(10-n) +6.75n = 62.25$

$50-5n +6.75n = 62.25$

Collect like terms

$-5n +6.75n = 62.25 - 50$

$-5n +6.75n = 12.25$

$1.75n = 12.25$

Solve for n

$n = 12.25/1.75$

$n = 7$

$m = 10 - n$

$m = 10 - 7$

$m =3$

A travel website sells tickets to a city for two airlines. Among those buying tickets, 20% fly airline A, and 80% fly airline B.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The expected revenue of an airline ticket sold by this travel website is $408

Step-by-step explanation:

For the revenues per ticket we have;

airline A; 600

airline B; 360

For the probability of choosing the airlines we have;

airline A; 20% = 0.2

airline B; 80% = 0.8

Therefore, the expected revenue of an airline ticket sold by this travel website is;

600(0.2) + 360(0.8) = 408

Therefore, the expected revenue of an airline ticket sold by this travel website is $408

<h3>Answer: Choice A</h3>

$x^2\left(\sqrt[4]{x^2}\right)$

=====================================================

Explanation:

The fourth root of x is the same as x^(1/4)

I.e,

$\sqrt[4]{x} = x^{1/4}$

The same applies to x^10 as well

$\sqrt[4]{x^{10}} = \left(x^{10}\right)^{1/4}$

Multiply the exponents 10 and 1/4 to get 10/4

$\sqrt[4]{x^{10}} = \left(x^{10}\right)^{1/4} = x^{10*1/4} = x^{10/4}$

$\sqrt[4]{x^{10}} = x^{10/4}$

-----------------------

If we have an expression in the form x^(m/n), with m > n, then we can simplify it into an equivalent form as shown below

$x^{m/n} = x^a\sqrt[n]{x^b}$

The 'a' and 'b' are found through dividing m/n

m/n = a remainder b

'a' is the quotient, b is the remainder

-----------------------

The general formula can easily be confusing, so let's replace m and n with the proper numbers. In this case, m = 10 and n = 4

m/n = 10/4 = 2 remainder 2

We have a = 2 and b = 2

$x^{m/n} = x^a\sqrt[n]{x^b}$

turns into

$x^{10/4} = x^2\sqrt[4]{x^2}$

which means

$\sqrt[4]{x^{10}} = {x^2} \sqrt[4]{x^2}$
