Nine.
48 divided by 6 is 8, which means that each bead weighs 8 grams.
72 divided by 8 is nine.

Hey there!

To solve for the amount of beads that weigh 72 grams, you can set up this proportion where x represents the number of beads weighing 72 grams:
$\frac{6}{48}$ = $\frac{x}{72}$

Now, cross multiply and simplify:
6*72=48*x
432=48x

Finally, solve for x:
432=48x
x=9

Therefore, 9 beads will weigh 72 grams.

Hope this helps and I hope you have a marvelous day! :)

Which statement is true about f(x)-2/3lx+4l-6?

slamgirl [31]

1) Taking in account that the function is f(x)= -(2/3) |x+4|-6, I enclose a file with the graph.

That helps you to conclude:

a) The graph of f(x) has a vertex on (-4, -6)

b) When you multiply a function times 2/3 it is vertically compressed which is equivalent to horizontally streched.

c) The graph of f(x) opens downward

d) The domain of f(x) is all the real values (the absolute function accepts any value of x either positive or negative)

Answer: the graph of f(x) is horizontally stretched.

Which of the following is an infinite series?

Brut [27]

<h3>Answer: Choice C) 2 - 6 + 18 - 54 + ...</h3>

Explanation:

The three dots or ellipses indicate the pattern goes on forever to infinity. So the answer is between choices A and C based on this alone. Choice A is a sequence while choice C is a series. A sequence is simply a list of values often in some kind of mathematical pattern. A series is where you add values from a sequence together. This distinction rules out choice A and makes choice C the answer.

Note: choice C is a geometric series with first term 2 and common ratio -3. The infinite series diverges because r = -3 is outside the range -1 < r < 1.

A student scored 66 points on his Psychology 101 midterm. If the average of his midterm and final must be between 78 and 90 incl

masha68 [24]

Answer:

range of scores on final exam student get B is 90 to 100

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

Psychology 101 score = 66

average of his midterm = between 78 and 90

maximum = 100 points

to find out

range of scores on final exam student get B

solution

we consider here lowest marks need in final = x

so average at two marks should be

equation is

average marks = 0.5 × ( mid term marks + final marks ) .................1

put here value

78 = 0.5 × ( 66 + x )

x = 90

and

90 = 0.5 × ( 66 + x )

x = 114

so range 90 to 114

but maximum marks is 100 so

range of scores on final exam student get B is 90 to 100

A scientist mixes water (containing no salt) with a solution that contains 35% salt. She wants to obtain 245 ounces of a mixture

sesenic [268]

Answer:

140 ounces of water and 105 ounces of 35% salt solution.

Explanation:

Let $x$ be the ounces of water that need to be added and $y$ be the ounces of 35% solution that need to to be added.

We know that the total of ounces of water and of 35% solution must be 245 ounces:

$x+y=245$

35% of $x$ is the salt, and since no salt is added with addition of $y$ liters of water, this must be equal to the amount of salt in the final 15% solution:

$0.35x=0.15*245$

we solve for $x$ and get:

$x=105$

We put this value into $x+y=245$ and solve for $y$ to get:

$y=140$

Thus we have 140 ounces of water and 105 ounces of 35% solution.
