Answer:

To Decrease an amount in a given Ratio, we need to multiply by a fraction that is less than one. For example, in scaling down a recipe for four people into a recipe for 3 people, we would use the ratio of 3 : 4 which means we would multiply all our recipe amounts.

consider a polynomial f(x)=ax^3 + bx^2 + x + 2/3.if x + 3 is a factor of f(x) and f(x) is divided by x + 2, then we get remainde
Elanso [62]

Answer:

a = 2/27

b = 13/27

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial is presented as follows;

f(x) = a·x³ + b·x² + x + 2/3

Given that x + 3 is a factor, we have;

f(-3) = 0 = a·(-3)³ + b·(-3)² - 3 +2/3 = 0

-27·a + 9·b - 3 + 2/3 = 0

-27·a + 9·b = 7/3........(1)

Also we have

(a·x³ + b·x² + x + 2/3) ÷ (x + 2) the remainder = 5

Therefore;

a·(-2)³ + b·(-2)² + (-2) + 2/3 = 5

-8·a + 4·b - 2 + 2/3 = 5

-8·a + 4·b = 2 - 2/3 = 4/3........(2)

Multiplying equation (1) by 4/9 and subtracting it from equation (2), we have;

-8·a + 4·b - 4/9×(-27·a + 9·b) = 4/3 - 4/9 × 7/3

-8·a + 12·a = 8/27

4·a = 8/27

a = 2/27 ≈ 0.0741

imputing the a value in equation (1) gives;

-27×2/27 + 9·b = 7/3

-2 + 9·b = 7/3

9·b = 7/3 + 2 = 13/3

b = 13/27 ≈ 0.481.

For 2 sweaters for that price what percent discount is that?
Harrizon [31]

Answer: 75% off


Step-by-step explanation:

Your first sweater is the full 100% of the cost. The second it only 50 percent. If you add these to find out how many percent you will pay which is 150 for both. If you were to divide by 2 you get 75 percent off each sweater. The first sweater is $48 the second you multiply by .5 (as its 50 percent off ) and the cost is $24 dollars. 48 plus 24 is 72 then that divided by 2 is 36. Now 36$ is the price per sweater.  36/48 or  3/4 (which is 75%)

Milton makes trail mix for his hiking group he makes a 1 and 1/4 pound of peanuts 14 oz of raisins 12 oz of walnuts in 10 oz of
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Each hiker receives 7 ounces of trail mix

Step-by-step explanation:

Trail mix=quantity of peanuts+quantity of raisins+quantity of walnuts+quantity of chocolate chips

where;

Quantity of peanuts=1.25 pounds

Quantity of raisins=14 oz, since 1 pound=16 oz.

Quantity of raisins=(14/16)=0.875 pounds

Quantity of walnuts=12 oz=(12/16)=0.75 pounds

Quantity of chocolate chips=10 oz=(10/16)=0.625 pounds

Replacing;

Trail mix=(1.25+0.875+0.75+0.625)=3.5 pounds

Trail mix=Quantity per hiker×Number of hikers

where;

Trail mix=3.5 pounds

Quantity per hiker=q

Number of hikers=8

Replacing;

3.5=q×8

q=3.5/8=0.4375 pounds

I pound=16 ounces

q=0.4375×16=7 ounces

Each hiker receives 7 ounces of trail mix
