Answer:

103

Step-by-step explanation:

For 1200 eggs, the caterer needs ...

(1200 eggs)/(12 eggs/carton) = 100 cartons

of unbroken eggs.

The rate of broken eggs is 1 in 3×12 = 1 in 36, so the caterer must buy 36 eggs for each 35 unbroken eggs delivered.

Then the number of cartons that must be purchased is ...

(100 cartons)(36/35) = 102 6/7 cartons

The caterer should buy 103 cartons of eggs.

Suppose two rectangles have the same area. Must they have the same length and width? Explain.

Monica [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Two rectangles having the same area do not need to have the same length and width. The length and width of the rectangle are just factor pairs of the number that is the area. For example, if the area was 12, the side lengths would be 1 and 12, 2 and 6, or 3 and 4. As you can see, those aren't the same lengths and widths. A rectangle may be 1x12 and another may be 3x4, but they have the same area.

The distribution of the number of graduate students over the past 13 years in the math department was: 1 69 2 445 3 347 4 0269 5

Sergio [31]

Answer:

largest number os students = 73

smallest number of students is 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribution of student over the period of 13 year is given in the following table

first column represent the stem which are on tens digit while column 2 represent the leaf which are on one digit.

1 6 9

2 4 4 9

3 3 4 7

4 0 2 6 9

7 3

hence the graduate student number is calculated as

16, 19, 24,24,29, 33, 34,37,40,42,46,49,73.

hence from the obtained data largest and smallest number of students over a period of 13 year can be calculate

largest number os students = 73

smallest number of students is 16

HELP URGENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

The equation has an Inifinite amount of solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

2 ( 3g + 2 ) = 1/2 ( 12g + 8 )

First use the distributive property of multiplication -

6g + 4 = 6g + 4

6g cancels out from both sides of the equation -

4 = 4

When both sides of an equation are the same there is an infinite amount of solutions.

Hope this helped! :)
