elmo makes n sandwiches for a fundraiser. for each sandwich he uses b globs of peanut butter at 4 cents per glob and j blobs of

jam at 5 cents per blob. the cost of the peanut butter and jam to make all the sandwiches is $2.53. assume that b, j, and n are positive integers with n>1. what is the cost, in dollars, of the jam elmo uses to make the sandwiches?

The cost in dollar that Elmo used to make one sandwich is $0.23, while he spent $2.53 on all the sandwiches.

Given that:

  • He used b globs at 4 cent per glob for the peanut butter
  • He used j blobs at 4 cent per blob for the jam
  • And he made a total of n sandwiches

The equation of the n sandwiches made is represented as:

n \times (4b + 5j)=\$2.53

Express $2.53 as cents

n \times (4b + 5j)=253

The factors of 253 are 1, 11, 23, 253.

Given that n > 1, then the value of n can either be 11 or 23

Assume n = 11, then the equation becomes

11 \times (4b + 5j)=253

Divide both sides by 11

4b + 5j=23

The possible values of b and j that make the above equation to be true are:

b =2 and j = 3

This is proved as follows:

4 \times 2 + 5 \times 3=23

8 +15=23

23 = 23

Hence, the cost in dollar that Elmo used to make one sandwich is $0.23, while he spent $2.53 on all the sandwiches.

If SAT scores are normally distributed with a mean of 1518 and a standard deviation of 325, find the probability that a randomly
aliya0001 [1]
Mean, x_bar = 1518
Standard deviation, sigma = 325
Range required: 1550 ≤ X ≤ 1575

Z = (X - x_bar)/sigma

Z1 = (1550-1518)/325 ≈ 0.1
Z2 = (1575-1518)/325 ≈ 0.18

From Z tables,
P(Z1) = 0.5398
P(Z2) = 0.5714

P(1550≤X≤1575) = P(Z2) - P(Z1) = 0.5714 - 0.5398 = 0.0316

The correct answer is C.

In Exercise, find the derivative of the function. <br> y = 32e0.23t
TEA [102]

Answer:

y'=7.36e^{0.23t}

Step-by-step explanation:

y=32e^{0.23t}

take derivative with respect to t

\frac{dy}{dt} =32\frac{d(e^{0.23t})}{dt}

derivative of e^t is e^t

derivative of 0.23t is 0.23

\frac{dy}{dt} =32 \frac{d(e^{0.23t})}{dt}

Apply chain rule

\frac{dy}{dt} =32(e^{0.23t})(0.23)

y'=7.36e^{0.23t}

Between which two consecutive integers does 53 lie?
oksian1 [2.3K]

52 and 54. Integers are whole numbers meaning 1..4..7..17...25 and so on. Consecutive meaning one right after the other. So 52 and 54 are the answer.
