A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficiency of 40 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of

15 miles per gallon of gas. During
one particular week, the two cars went a combined total of 1625 miles, for a total gas consumption of 50 gallons. How many gallons were consumed by each of
the two cars that week?

Answer:

first car = 35, second car= 15

Step-by-step explanation:

40x+15y=1625

x+y=50

multiplying the 2nd by -15 and add the 2 equations, we get x= 35 and by substituting on second equation we get y= 15

we'd do the same as before on this one as well.

if we take 27.99 to be the 100%, what is 12 off of it in percentage?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 27.99&100\\ 12&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{27.99}{12}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 27.99x=1200 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{1200}{27.99}\implies x\approx 42.87

A company that produces fine crystal knows from experience that 13% of its goblets have cosmetic flaws and must be classified as
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

(a) The probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.3888.

(b) The probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.1776.

(c) The probability that at most five must be selected to find four that are not seconds is 0.9453.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of seconds in the batch.

The probability of the random variable <em>X</em> is, <em>p</em> = 0.31.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> and <em>p</em>.

The probability mass function of <em>X</em> is:

P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...

(a)

Compute the probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets as follows:

P(X=1)={6\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{6-1}\\=6\times 0.13\times 0.4984\\=0.3888

Thus, the probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.3888.

(b)

Compute the probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets as follows:

P (X ≥ 2) = 1 - P (X < 2)

              =1-{6\choose 0}0.13^{0}(1-0.13)^{6-0}-{6\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{6-1}\\=1-0.4336+0.3888\\=0.1776

Thus, the probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.1776.

(c)

If goblets are examined one by one then to find four that are not seconds we need to select either 4 goblets that are not seconds or 5 goblets including only 1 second.

P (4 not seconds) = P (X = 0; n = 4) + P (X = 1; n = 5)

                            ={4\choose 0}0.13^{0}(1-0.13)^{4-0}+{5\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{5-1}\\=0.5729+0.3724\\=0.9453

Thus, the probability that at most five must be selected to find four that are not seconds is 0.9453.

It says write the following using am or pm
777dan777 [17]
The answer would be am because it says 1/4 to midday and midday is 12 and 12 is when pm starts so it would be am. 

Hope this helps! :)

Plant A: A graph has time (weeks) on the x-axis, and height (inches) on the y-axis. A line goes through points (0, 3), (1, 4.8),
butalik [34]

Answer:

The correct option is;

No, The greater rate of change of Plant A will result in it being 0.9 inches taller in 6 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

Plant A:

Weeks,    Height

0,               3

1,                4.8

2,               6.6

3,               8.4

The rate of change of height, H per week, t,\left (\dfrac{dH}{dt} \right )  for plant A per week is therefore;

\dfrac{dH}{dt} =  \dfrac{H_n - H_{(n-1)} }{t_n - t_{(n-1)}} = \dfrac{8.4 - 3 }{3 - 0} = \dfrac{5.4}{3} = 1.8 \ inches/week

Therefore we have;

H = 1.8 × t + 3

At week 6,

H = 3 + 6×1.8 = 13.8 inches

Plant B

Weeks,    Height

2,               7.3

3,               8.7

4,               10.1

The rate of change of height, H per week, t,\left (\dfrac{dH}{dt} \right )  for plant B per week is given as follows;

\dfrac{dH}{dt} =  \dfrac{H_n - H_{(n-1)} }{t_n - t_{(n-1)}} = \dfrac{10.1 - 7.3 }{4 - 2} = \dfrac{2.8}{2} = 1.4 \ inches/week

Therefore we have;

When t = 2, H = 7.3 hence, 7.3 = 2 × 1.4 + H₀

Where:

H₀ = H at t = 0

H₀ = 7.3 - 2 × 1.4 = 4.5

At week 6 we have;

H = 4.5 + 6×1.4 = 12.9 inches

Which indicates that Plant A will be 0.9 inches taller than Plant B at week 6.

The correct option is therefore;

No, The greater rate of change of Plant A will result in it being 0.9 inches taller in 6 weeks.

I need help please ​
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

L = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the Length x and width x - 15 since the width is 15 less than length

Eric needs 70 of fencing in total, the perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding all sides

x + x + (x - 15) + (x - 15) = 70 add like terms

4x - 30 = 70 add 30 to both sides

4x = 100 divide both sides by 4

x = 25
