The weight of each fountain pen manufactured in a factory must be 10g with a tolerance of 2g. Pens that are not within the toler

ated weight must be thrown away. Write an inequality that can be used to assess which pens are tolerable (w is the weight of the pen)?

According to the information given, the absolute value inequality that can be used to assess which pens are tolerable is:

|w - 10| \leq 2

The <em>absolute value</em> function measures the <u>distance of a point to the origin</u>, and is defined by:

  • |x| = x, x \geq 0
  • |x| = -x, x < 0

The weight must be of 10g, with a tolerance of 2g, which means that the <u>absolute value of the difference between the weight w and 10g must be of at most 2g</u>, hence the inequality is:

|w - 10| \leq 2

two dice are rolled, given that the total showing on the two dice is 7, find the probability that one of the dice shows the numb
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

For each of the possible outcomes add the numbers on the two dice and count how many times this sum is 7. If you do so you will find that the sum is 7 for 6 of the possible outcomes. Thus the sum is a 7 in 6 of the 36 outcomes and hence the probability of rolling a 7 is 6/36 = 1/6.

A man walking on a railroad bridge is 2/5 of the way along the bridge when he notices a train at a distance approaching at the c
makkiz [27]

Answer:

The Man needs to run at 9 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let M stand for the man's speed in mph.  When the man  

runs toward point A, the relative speed of the train with respect  

to the man is the train's speed plus the man's speed (45 + M).  

When he runs toward point B, the relative speed of the train is the  

train's speed minus the man's speed (45 - M).

When he runs toward the train the distance he covers is 2 units.  

When he runs in the direction of the train the distance he covers  

is 3 units. We can now write that the ratio of the relative speed  

of the train when he is running toward point A to the relative speed  

of the train when he is running toward point B, is equal to the  

inverse ratio of the two distance units or

              (45 + M)          3

              -----------  =      ---

              (45 - M)          2

          90+2 M=135-3 M

⇒5 M = 45

⇒ M = 9 mph

The Man needs to run at 9 mph

aksik [14]

Answer:

8 + y = 3y

8 = 3y - y

8 = 2y

8/2 = y
