Answer:

the large box weight is 6.50 kg and the small box weight is 13.75 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of each type of box weight is as follows:

Let us assume the large box be x

And, the small box be y

So,

2x + 3y = 47.......(i)

6x + 5y = 115........(ii)

Multiply by 3 in equation 1

6x + 9y = 141

6x + 5y = 115

Now subtract the last equation from the above one

4y = 26

y = 6.50

For x, it would be

2x+ 3(6.50) = 47

2x + 19.5 = 47

2x = 47 - 19.50

2x = 27.50

x = 13.75

Hence, the large box weight is 6.50 kg and the small box weight is 13.75 kg

There are 160 people in a grade. The ratio of boys to girls is 3 to 5. Which proportion can you use to find the number x of boys
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

60 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

boys : girls = 3 : 5

Total number of people = 160

Let y = common factor:

Therefore, 3y + 5y = 160

⇒ 8y = 160

⇒ y = 160 ÷ 8 = 20

Boys = 3y = 3 x 20 = 60

Girls = 5y = 5 x 20 = 100

So there are 60 boys and 100 girls

Given two vectors a⃗ = 4.60 i^+ 7.20 j^ and b⃗ = 5.10 i^− 2.70 j^ , find the scalar product of the two vectors a⃗ and b⃗ .
grin007 [14]
A=<4.60,7.20>
b=<5.10,2.70>
The scalar product, or the inner product, or the dot-product, is by summing the products of the respective directions, 
a.b=4.6*5.1+7.2*2.7
=23.46+19.44
=42.9

In a class of 29 students, 19 are female and 14 have an A in the class. There are 8students who are male and do not have an A in
masya89 [10]

SOLUTION

The total number of females =

19

if 14 have an A in the class, the number of students without A is:

29-14=15

8 male students do not have an A, therefore the number of female students without an A is:

15-8=7

The probability that a student does not have an A given that the student is female can be calculated thus:

\frac{\text{Total number of female students without an A}}{Total\text{ number of female students in the class}}\frac{7}{19}
