<h3>Answer: 15 hours (choice D)</h3>

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

Work Shown:

(6 hours)/(8 trees) = (x hours)/(20 trees)

6/8 = x/20

6*20 = 8*x ... cross multiply

120 = 8x

8x = 120

x = 120/8

x = 15

It takes him 15 hours to plant 20 trees.

Solve the following pairs of simultaneous equations.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer and step-by-step explanation:

a) -4x + 5y = -9 (2)

2x + 3y = 21

Multiply the second equation by 2, you will get:

4x + 6y = 42 (1)

Use (1) plus with (2), you will get:

4x + (-4x) + 6y + 5y = -9 + 42

11y = 33

y = 33/11

y = 3

4x + 18 = 42

4x = 24

x = 6

b) 2x + 5y = -6

3x + 2y = 2

Multiply first equation by 3, you will get:

6x + 15y = -18 (1)

Multiply the second equation by 2 and you will get:

6x + 4y = 4 (2)

Subtract (1) by (2), we got:

6x -6x + 15y - 4y = -18 - 4

11y = -22

y = -22/11

y = -2

6x + 4y = 4

6x -8 = 4

6x = 12

x = 2

c) 2x - 2y = -4

5x + 4y = 17 (2)

Multiply the first euation by 2, we got:

4x - 4y = -4 (3)

Use (3) minus for (2), we get:

4x - 5x -4y + 4y = -4 - 17

-x = -21

x = 21

4x - 4y = -4

84 - 4y = -4

-4y = -4 + 84

-4y = 80

y = 80 / -4

y = -20

d) 2x - 3y = 6

4x - 5y = 9 (1)

Multiply the first equation by 2, we got:

4x - 6y = 12 (2)

Use (1) minus for (2), we got:

4x -4x - 5y - 6y = 9 -12

-11y = -3

y = -3/-11

y = 3/11

2x - 3y = 6

2x - 9/11 = 6

2x = 66/11 + 9/ 11

2x = 75/11

x = 75/11 * 1/2

x = 75 / 22

e) x/2 + y/3 = 2

x/4 + y/3 = 4

Use the first equation subtract the second equation, we got:

x/2 - x/4 + y/3 - y/3 = 2 - 4

2x/4 -x/4 = -2

x/ 4 = -2

x = -2 * 4

x = -8

x/2 + y/3 = 2

-8 / 2 + y/3 = 2

y / 3 = 2 + 4

y/3 = 6

y = 6*3

y = 18

f) x/3 + y/2 = 3/2 (1)

x/2 + y/5 = -1/2 (2)

Use technology and the given confidence level and sample data to find the confidence interval for the population mean mu . assum
attashe74 [19]

To solve for the confidence interval for the population mean mu, we can use the formula:

Confidence interval = x ± z * s / sqrt (n)

where x is the sample mean, s is the standard deviation, and n is the sample size

 

At 95% confidence level, the value of z is equivalent to:

z = 1.96

 

Therefore substituting the given values into the equation:

Confidence interval = 3 ± 1.96 * 5.8 / sqrt (51)

Confidence interval = 3 ± 1.59

Confidence interval = 1.41, 4.59

 

Therefore the population mean mu has an approximate range or confidence interval from 1.41 kg to 4.59 kg.

In an ore, 9.8% of its total weight is metal. How many pounds of metal are in 1,950 lb of ore?
Fudgin [204]

Answer

Find out the  how many pounds of metal are in 1,950 lb of ore .

To proof

let us assume that the pounds of metal are in 1,950 lb of ore be x .

As given

In an ore, 9.8% of its total weight is metal.

ore weight = 1,950 lb

9.8% is written in the decimal form

= \frac{9.8}{100}

= 0.098

Than the equation becomes

x = 0.098 × 1950

x = 191.1 pounds

Therefore the 191.1 pounds of metal are in 1,950 lb of ore .

Hence proved
