Answer:

20 batches

Step-by-step explanation:

Cups of sugar in a bag = 15

Cups of sugar per batch of cookie = 3/4 cup

Cups of sugar per batch of cookie : batch of cookies = 3/4 : 1

what's the greatest number of batches of cookies that can be made with the bag of sugar

Let

x = batches of cookies made with a bag of sugar

Cups of sugar per batch of cookie : batch of cookies = 15 : x

Equate the ratios

3/4 : 1 = 15 : x

3/4 ÷ 1 = 15/x

3/4 × 1/1 = 15/x

3/4 = 15/x

Cross product

3 * x = 4 * 15

3x = 60

x = 60/3

x = 20

x = batches of cookies made with a bag of sugar = 20 batches

dem82 [27]

Answer:

(x-8)(x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

factors of 16:

1 x 16

2 x 8

4 x 4

i'll select 2 and 8 as values because they can add up to 10

(x-8)(x-2)

i made them both negative so the middle term would be -10 but, when multiplied, would equal positive 16

Great Escape bought a vintage bicycle for $3,000. They marked it up
slega [8]

Answer:

Solution,

CP of a bicycle=$3000

Marked up=40%

Now,  

→40% of $3000

→40/100x$3000

→$1200

→$3000+$1200=$4200

Again,

Discount(d)=30%

→30%of $4200

→30/100x$4200

→$1260

Hence, the discount price of the bicycle is $1260

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line with equation 12x+3y=9?
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The slope would be 1/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perpendicular slope first you have to set this equation to y

to do this you use the subtraction prop of equality and you will get 12x-9= -3y

then you divide by -3 on both sides to get y by itself

you will get -4x+3=y

now that you know the slope is -4, you must find the negative reciprocal slope of this which means you have to flip the numerator and denominator and make the sign its opposite.

The perpendicular slope would then be 1/4.

Answer:

1. The minimum head breadth that will fit the clientele is of 4.41-in.

2. The maximum head breadth that will fit the clientele is of 7.19-in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Normally distributed with a mean of 5.8-in and a standard deviation of 0.8-in.

This means that \mu = 5.8, \sigma = 0.8

1. What is the minimum head breadth that will fit the clientele?

The 4.1st percentile, that is, X when Z has a pvalue of 0.041, so X when Z = -1.74.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-1.74 = \frac{X - 5.8}{0.8}

X - 5.8 = -1.74*0.8

X = 4.41

The minimum head breadth that will fit the clientele is of 4.41-in.

2. What is the maximum head breadth that will fit the clientele?

100 - 4.1 = 95.9th percentile, that is, X when Z has a pvalue of 0.959, so X when Z = 1.74.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.74 = \frac{X - 5.8}{0.8}

X - 5.8 = 1.74*0.8

X = 7.19

The maximum head breadth that will fit the clientele is of 7.19-in.
