All sacks of sugar have the same weight. All sacks of flour also have the same weight, but not necessarily the same as the weigh

t of the sacks of sugar. Suppose that two sacks of sugar together with three sacks of flour weigh no more than $40$ pounds, and that the weight of a sack of flour is no more than $5$ pounds more than the weight of two sacks of sugar. What is the largest possible weight (in pounds) of a sack of flour?

Sugar: x pounds
flour: 2x + 5 pounds
2x + 3(2x + 5) = 40
2x + 6x + 15 = 40
8x = 25
x = 3.125
-> a sack of flour is 3.125 + 5 = 8.125 pounds
I hope it‘s coorect

Find the point, M, that divides segment AB into a ratio of 3.1 if A is at (-4,-2) and B is at (4. -10).
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The coordinates of M are (2,-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the point that divides the line segment joining

A(x_1,y_1) to B(x_2,y_2) in the ratio m:n is given by:

(\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n})

If A is at (-4,-2) and B is at (4. -10) and the ratio is 3:1.

Then

(\frac{3(4)+1(-4)}{3+1},\frac{3(-10)+1(-2)}{3+1})

(\frac{8}{4},\frac{-32}{4})

The coordinates of M are (2,-8)

Paul's Pizzeria sells 45 cheese pizzas and 20 pepperoni pizzas each week. What is the ratio of cheese pizzas to pepperoni pizzas
Papessa [141]
Ratio of cheese to pepperoni...
45 cheese....20 pepperoni.....45/20 reduces to 9/4 or 9:4

little tip ** be careful of the wording of problems such as these.....because if it asked for the ratio of pepperoni to cheese, it would have been 4:9

A recent survey of 128 high school students indicated the following information about release times from school. -35 percent wan
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The interval is for those that want to get out earlier is between 43 student to 47 students

The interval is for those that want to get out later is between 48 student to 50 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

sample size n=128

Probability of those  that want to get out earlier = 0.35.

The mean  =  n × probability = 0.35 × 128 = 44.8 ≈ 45

Margin of error = 4% = 0.04 × 44.8 = 1.79 ≈ 2

Therefore the interval = mean ± Margin of error = 45 ± 2 = (43, 47)

The interval is for those that want to get out earlier is between 43 student to 47 students

Probability of those  that want to get out later = 0.39.

The mean  =  n × probability = 0.39 × 128 = 49.92 ≈ 50

Margin of error = 4% = 0.04 × 50 =  2

Therefore the interval = mean ± Margin of error = 50 ± 2 = (48, 52)

The interval is for those that want to get out later is between 48 student to 50 students

the group that wants to get out of school earlier to win after all the votes are counted if those that have no opinion decide that they want to go earlier
