Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Change 2/5 to a decimal

2/5 = 0.4

Change 1 2/15 of a fluid ounce to a decimal.

1.133333

Set up your proportion.

0.4 / 1.133333 = x / 5               Cross multiply

0.4*5 = 1.133333*x

2 = 1.133333 x                         Divide by 1.1333333

2/1.33333 = x

x = 1.5 ounces.

He needs 1.5 ounces of red to make 5 ounces of purple.

15/4

how many times does 4 go into 15 without going over.....that would be 3 times....so 3 is ur whole number. 3 * 4 = 12......15 - 12 = 3...and 3 is ur numerator....the denominator stays the same

so ur answer is : 3 3/4

What is the number between 3400 and 4400
xxTIMURxx [149]
First find how many numbers are between the two by subtracting
4400 - 3400 = 1000
now to find half way between the two divide 1000 by 2 
1000/2 = 500
so the number between the two is 500 +3400 and 4400-500
which is 3900

At what point on the curve y = 2 + 2ex − 4x is the tangent line parallel to the line 4x − y = 3? (x, y) =
Papessa [141]

Answer:

{ln 4, (2 + 2e^ln 4 − 4 ln 4)} or (1.39, 4.45)

Step-by-step explanation:

From this equation 4x − y = 3

-y = 3 - 4x

then, y = 4x - 3

From line equation y = mx + b

Therefore, the slope is 4

Since the are parallel line, they will have same slope

Finding the derivative of y = 2 + 2e^x − 4x

y = 2 + 2e^x − 4x

y' = 0 + 2e^x - 4

Therefore,

4 = 2e^x - 4

4 = e^x

x = ln 4 = 1.39

To find the y coordinate

y = 2 + 2e^x − 4x

y = 2 + 2e^ln 4 − 4 ln 4

y = 4.45

Hence, they are parallel at point (1.39 and 4.45)

Eric has 5 CDs that he is going to give away. He lets his best friend choose 3 of the 5 CDs. How many different groups of 3 CDs
Snowcat [4.5K]
Given a group of n object. We want to make a selection of k objects out of the n object. This can be done in 

C(n, k) many ways, where C(n, k)= \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!},

where k!=1*2*3*...(k-1)*k


Thus, we can do the selection of 3 cd's out of 5, in C(5,3) many ways, 

where 

C(5, 3)= \frac{5!}{3!2!}= \frac{5*4*3*2*1}{3*2*1*2*1}= \frac{5*4}{2}=10

Answer: 10
