Answer:

(a) 5:13

(b) 5:8

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 13 books in all.

8 books are new.

13 - 8 = 5 books are used.

Ratio of used books to all books: 5 used books : 13 books in total.

Ratio of used books to new books: 5 used books : 8 new books.

Answer

A=  \frac{5}{13}  Or 5:13

B= \frac{5}{8} or 5:8

Step-by-step explanation:

the question asked for you to show the ratio for the number of used books compared to the total number on the shelf. Since it tells us that 8 of the 13 books are new that would mean that the other 5 books that are on the shelf with the 8 new ones would be used. Then you just put it in a ratio, which if im remembering correctly from when i learned this it just looks like a fraction basically. Same goes for the second question except you are just putting the number of used books to the number of new books in ratio form. Hope this helps and also if you  need help learning ratios i gotchu covered :)

if P(x)=1+6x-5x^2 represents the profit in selling x thousand Boombotix speakers, how many speakers should be sold to maximize p
Rashid [163]

Answer:

600

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) = 1 + 6x - 5x^2

x max = -b/2a

a = -5

b = 6

-6/2(-5) = 6/10 = 3/5 = .6

.6 thousand = 600

600 speakers should be sold.

Alternatively, you can check the vertex of the parabola formed.

The bottom and top of a box are rectangles twice as long as they are wide. Find the volume of the box if it is four feet high an
Sav [38]

Let x = the width

then

2x = the length

:

The box dimensions: 2x by x by 4

Given the surface area:

2(2x*x) + 2(2x*4) + 2(x*4) = 220

:

4x^2 + 16x + 8x = 220


A quadratic equation:

4x^2 + 24x - 220 = 0

simplify, divide by 4

x^2 + 6x - 55 = 0

Factor

(x+11)(x-5) = 0

The positive solution is what we want here:

x = 5 ft is the width

then

2(5) = 10 ft is the length

:

Find the volume

10 * 5 * 4 = 200 cu/ft is the volume
