The entire shipment contains 9 2/7 tons of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Find the total amount of sugar in the entire shipment.

Number of containers in the shipment = 4 1/3 = 13/3

Number of tons of sugar = 2 1/7 = 15/7

⇒ Total amount of sugar = 13/3 × 15/7 = 65/7 = 9 2/7 tons

To find the answer we need multiply the number of containers by number tons of sugar each container has.

(4 1/3 )*(2 1/7).

To calculate , we need to convert mixed numbers into improper fractions.

4 1/3 = (4*3 +1)/3 = 13/3

2 1/7 = (2*7+1)/7 =15/7

(4 1/3 )*(2 1/7) = (13/3) * (15/7) = (13*5)/7 = 65/7 = 9 2/7 (tons)

Answer: 9 2/7 tons.

Hope this helps!

An accelerated life test on a large number of type-D alkaline batteries revealed that the mean life for a particular use before
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

68.2% of the batteries failed between 17.8 and 20.2 hours.

95.44% of the batteries failed between 16.6 and 21.4 hours.

99.97% of the batteries failed between 15.4 and 22.6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 68-95-99.7 states that, for a normally distributed sample:

68.26% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the sample.

95.44% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the sample.

99.97% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the sample.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean of 19 hours, standard deviation of 1.2 hours.

About 68.26% of the batteries failed between what two values?

This is within 1 standard deviation of the mean. So 68.2% of the batteries failed between 17.8 and 20.2 hours.

About 95.44% of the batteries failed between what two values?

This is within 2 standard deviations of the mean. So 95.44% of the batteries failed between 16.6 and 21.4 hours.

About 99.97% of the batteries failed between what two values?

This is within 3 standard deviations of the mean. So 99.97% of the batteries failed between 15.4 and 22.6 hours.

Minny has two coupons, but can use one of them. The first one is for $5 off an item; the second coupon is for 20% off an item. T
joja [24]
Let's first solve for the $5 off coupon,

28 - 5 = 23

The final total is $23.00 with $5 off.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Now for the final price of the 20% off coupon,

20\% = 0.2

0.2 or 0.20 is decimal form of 20%. Easier to multiply than in percent form!

0.2 \times 28 = 5.6

$5.6 or $5.60 is 20% of 28, we're not done yet!

Lastly, subtract 20% off of 28 (5.6) from 28,

28 - 5.6 = 22.4
$22.4 or $22.40 is the final after 20% off!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Q. Which is less after the discounts??

$23.00 or $22.40

A. $22.40 of course which was the 20% off.

Part A : Which coupon should she use ?

Answer : Well, to get a lower price, less to pay, the 20% off coupon is better!

Part B: How much money will she save by using the better coupon?

Answer : $5.6 / $5.60 is the amount she'll save!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I hope that helps you out!!

Determine if f(x, y) = 10 − x^2 − y^2
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x,y)=10-x^2-y^2

To find derivative of z w.r.t. x is treat any other variable as a constant.

dz/dx=0-2x-0

dz/dx=-2x

Evaluating this at (7,-3) gives us dz/dx=-2(7)=-14.

Since this result is negative, it mrans as x increases z decreases.

f(x,y)=10-x^2-y^2

To find derivative of z w.r.t. y is treat any other variable as a constant.

dz/dx=0-0-2y

dz/dx=-2y

Evaluating this at (7,-3) gives us dz/dy=-2(-3)=6.

Since this result is positive it mrans as y increases z decreases.
