Cesar is planning a 4-day trip to visit his friend at a college in another state. It will cost him $198 for airfare, $56 for loc

al transportation, and $45 per day for food. He has $189 in savings and can earn $35 for each lawn he mows. How many lawns must he mow to have enough money to pay for the trip?
Please explain the answer. Knowing just the answer doesn't help me learn anything.

I appreciate all help!

Answer:

7 lawns

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us do this. replace l with lawns mowed and replace day with 4 since the trip is a 4-day trip.

What is 198 + 56?

254.

35l + 189 must be equal to or more than 45(4) + 254.

(45 x 4) + 254 = 180 + 254 = 434

434 - 189 = 245

35l = 245

35/35 = 245/35

l = 7

He has to mow 7 lawns.

Answer:

7 lawns

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Airfare = $198
Transportation = $56
Food = $45 per day
Length of trip = 4 days

⇒ Total cost of trip = airfare + transportation + 4 x food

= 198 + 56 + (4 x 45)

= $434

Given:

Savings = $189

⇒ Amount to make from mowing lawns = total cost of trip - savings

= 434 - 189

= $245

Therefore, he needs to make $245 from mowing lawns to have enough money to pay for the trip.

Given:

Amount earned per lawn mowed = $35

⇒ number of lawns = amount needed ÷ amount earned per lawn

= 245 ÷ 35

= 7

So he needs to mow 7 lawns to have enough money to pay for the trip.

A soup can has a diameter of 8 centimeters and a height of 15 centimeters how much soup does the can hold?

Ivan

Answer:

V = 240 pi

Step-by-step explanation:

We want the volume of a cylinder

V = pi r^2 h

We have the diameter and want the radius

r = d/2 = 8/2 = 4

V = pi ( 4)^2 * 15

V = pi * 16* 15

V = 240 pi

Let pi = 3.14

V =753.6 cm^3

Let pi be the pi button

V =753.9822369 cm^3

If nico spends $5.76 on tomatoes,how many pounds did he purchase?

tia_tia [17]

The amount of in pound of tomatoes purchased is $\frac{5.76}{p}$

To obtain the number of pounds of tomatoes purchased :

Let the price per pound of tomato = p

The Number of tomatoes purchased equals :

Total amount spent ÷ price per pound

Therefore, the Number of tomatoes purchased will be :

5.76 ÷ p

The Number of pounds of tomatoes purchased = $\frac{5.76}{p}$

A pen company averages 1.2 defective pens per carton produced (200 pens). The number of defects per carton is Poisson distribute

nlexa [21]

Answer:

a. P(x = 0 | λ = 1.2) = 0.301

b. P(x ≥ 8 | λ = 1.2) = 0.000

c. P(x > 5 | λ = 1.2) = 0.002

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number of defects per carton is Poisson distributed, with parameter 1.2 pens/carton, we can model the probability of k defects as:

$P(k)=\frac{\lambda^{k}e^{-\lambda}}{k!}= \frac{1.2^{k}\cdot e^{-1.2}}{k!}$

a. What is the probability of selecting a carton and finding no defective pens?

This happens for k=0, so the probability is:

$P(0)=\frac{1.2^{0}\cdot e^{-1.2}}{0!}=e^{-1.2}=0.301$

b. What is the probability of finding eight or more defective pens in a carton?

This can be calculated as one minus the probablity of having 7 or less defective pens.

$P(k\geq8)=1-P(k$

$P(0)=1.2^{0} \cdot e^{-1.2}/0!=1*0.3012/1=0.301\\\\P(1)=1.2^{1} \cdot e^{-1.2}/1!=1*0.3012/1=0.361\\\\P(2)=1.2^{2} \cdot e^{-1.2}/2!=1*0.3012/2=0.217\\\\P(3)=1.2^{3} \cdot e^{-1.2}/3!=2*0.3012/6=0.087\\\\P(4)=1.2^{4} \cdot e^{-1.2}/4!=2*0.3012/24=0.026\\\\P(5)=1.2^{5} \cdot e^{-1.2}/5!=2*0.3012/120=0.006\\\\P(6)=1.2^{6} \cdot e^{-1.2}/6!=3*0.3012/720=0.001\\\\P(7)=1.2^{7} \cdot e^{-1.2}/7!=4*0.3012/5040=0\\\\$

$P(k$

c. Suppose a purchaser of these pens will quit buying from the company if a carton contains more than five defective pens. What is the probability that a carton contains more than five defective pens?

We can calculate this as we did the previous question, but for k=5.

$P(k>5)=1-P(k\leq5)=1-\sum_{k=0}^5P(k)\\\\P(k>5)=1-(0.301+0.361+0.217+0.087+0.026+0.006)\\\\P(k>5)=1-0.998=0.002$

A telephone pole has a wire to its top that is anchored to the ground. The distance from the bottom of the pole to the anchor po

Bumek [7]

Answer:

The height of the pole is 105ft,

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us call $h$ the height of the pole, then we know that the distance from the bottom of the pole to the anchor point is 49, or it is $h - 49$ .

The wire length $d$ is 14 ft longer than height $h$ , hence

$d= h+14$ .

Thus we get a right triangle with hypotenuse $d= y+14$ , perpendicular $h$ , and base $h-49$ ; therefore, the Pythagorean theorem gives

$(h-49)^2+h^2 = (h+14)^2$

which upon expanding we get:

$h^2-98h+2401 = h^2+28h+196$

further simplification gives

$h^2-126h+2205=0$ ,

which is a quadratic equation with solutions

$h =21ft\\h = 105ft.$

Since the first solution $h =21ft$ will give the triangle base length of $21ft-49ft = -28ft$ which is negative; therefore, we disregard it and pick the solution $h = 105ft$ .

Hence, the height of the pole is 105ft.
