a nursery sells kentucky bluegrass seed for $5.75 per pound and tall fescue seed for $4.50 per pound. the nursery sells a mixture of the two kinds of seed for $5.25 per pound. let k represent the amount of kentucky blue grass seed the nusery uses in in 5 pounds of the mixture

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]k=3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Per pound cost of kentucky bluegrass seed = $5.75

Per pound cost of tall fescue seed = $4.50

Per pound cost of mixture of seeds = $5.25

[tex]k[/tex] is the amount of kentucky blue grass.

Total amount of the mixture = 5 pounds

Therefore, amount of tall fescue seed = (5 - [tex]k[/tex]) pounds

To find:

The value of [tex]k[/tex].

Cost of [tex]k[/tex] pounds of kentucky bluegrass seed = [tex]\$5.75k[/tex]

Cost of (5 - [tex]k[/tex]) pounds of tall fescue seed = [tex]\$(5-k)4.50[/tex]

As per question statement:

[tex]5.75k+(5-k)4.50=5.25\times 5\\\Rightarrow 575k+5\times 450 -450k=525\times5\\\Rightarrow 125k=75\times5\\\Rightarrow k =3\ pounds[/tex]

Amount of kentucky blue grass seed used = 3 pounds

Amount of tall fescue seed used = 5-3 = 2 pounds

Which expressions correctly show "the sum of the product of 3 and 8 and the product of 12 and 2"? Select two that are correct. *

3 + 8 + 12 + 2
(12 × 2) + (3 × 8)
3 × 8 × 12 × 2
(3 + 8) × (12 + 2)
(3 × 8) + (12 × 2)

Answers

Answer:

The two correct expressions are:

(12 × 2) + (3 × 8)(3 × 8) + (12 × 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'a' and 'b' be the two numbers.

When we say the product of 'a' and 'b', it

algebraically means: a × b

Let 'c' and 'd' be the two numbers.

When we say the product of 'c' and 'd', it

algebraically means: c × d

And when we say the sum of the product of 'a' and 'b' and the product of 'c' and 'd', it algebraically means:

(a × b) + (c × d)

or

(c × d) + (a × b)

as

(a × b) + (c × d) = (c × d) + (a × b)

So when we say "the sum of the product of 3 and 8 and the product of 12 and 2".

It algebraically means:

(12 × 2) + (3 × 8)

or

(3 × 8) + (12 × 2)

as

(12 × 2) + (3 × 8) = 24 + 24      ∵ 12 × 2 = 24, 3 × 8 = 24

                           = 48

(3 × 8) + (12 × 2) = 24 + 24      ∵  3 × 8 = 24, 12 × 2 = 24,

                          = 48

Therefore, the two correct expressions are:

(12 × 2) + (3 × 8)(3 × 8) + (12 × 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:2,969

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 11% of children in the United States lived with at least one grandparent in 2009 (USA TODAY, June 30, 2011). Suppose that in a recent sample of 1640 children, 225 were found to be living with at least one grandparent. At a 2% significance level, can you conclude that the proportion of all children in the United States who currently live with at least one grandparent is higher than 11%? Use both the p-value and the critical-value approaches.

Round your answers for the observed value of z and the critival value of z to two decimal places, and the p-value to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is  

There is no sufficient evidence to show that  the proportion of all children in the United States who currently live with at least one grandparent is higher than 11%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The population proportion is [tex]p = 0.11[/tex]

   The sample size is  n =  1640

   The number found to be living with at least one grandparent is [tex]k = 225[/tex]

   The level of significance is  [tex]\alpha = 0.02[/tex]

   The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : p = 0.11[/tex]

   The alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a : p > 0.11[/tex]

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as

     [tex]\^ p = \frac{ k }{n}[/tex]

=>  [tex]\^ p = \frac{ 225 }{1640 }[/tex]

=>  [tex]\^ p = 0.1372[/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

     [tex]z= \frac{\^ p - p }{ \sqrt{\frac{p(1- p)}{n} } }[/tex]

=>[tex]z = \frac{ 0.1372 - 0.11 }{ \sqrt{\frac{0.11(1- 0.11)}{1640} } }[/tex]

=>[tex]z = 0.0077[/tex]

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to  0.0077  is  

    [tex]p-value = P(Z > 0.0077) = 0.4969[/tex]

From the value obtained we see that [tex]p-value > \alpha[/tex] hence

The decision rule is  

Reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is  

 There is no sufficient evidence to show that  the proportion of all children in the United States who currently live with at least one grandparent is higher than 11%

Which fraction is equivalent to 2/3 explain

Answers

Answer:

4/6, 8/12, 20/30

Step-by-step explanation:

They are equivalent to 2/3, because they can all be simplified to 2/3.

For example, 2 x 2 = 4 and 2 x 3 = 6; this gives me 4/6. I multiplied 2/3 by 2/2.

SO it can also be 2/3 = 4/6= 6/9 = 8/12 = 10/15 = 12/15 = 15/18 = 18/21 = 21/24 etc.

~hope it's right

Q2

104159/33000

Step-by-step explanation:

Q1

If a<b then a-b will always be negative.  To get the absolute value, we can take -(a-b) = -a+b = b-a.

Q2

Let x = 3.12789789789...

We isolate the repeating decimal to start after the decimal, so we multiply by 100.

100x = 312.789789789...

We want to multiply by 10 for each digit that repeats (in this case 3), to get the repeating part to the left of the decimal.

100000x = 312789.789789

Subtracting the two...

x(100000-100) = 312789.789789 - 312.789789

99900x = 312477

x = 312477/99000 = 104159/33000

-3x+2y=9
First you have to find the slope which you would do by labeling your coordinates So -5 is X1 and 3 is X2 and -3 is Y1 and -3 and Y2 is -6. This will help with finding the slope of you equation. So the set up would be Y2-Y1/X2-X1 so the equation would be -6- -3/ 3-5 which would give you 3/2. Then you take one of the coordinate points and your slope in a slope intecpet equation. So -3=3/2(-5)+b then solve. Which would be 9/2 then put you slope and b into a slope intercept equation so y= 3/2x+9/2 then to get it into Standard form you need to move your ex to the other side of the equation so -3/2x+y=9/2 in this equation can be simplified by multiplying two to each side so (2)3/2x+y=9/2(2) which would equal to 3x+2y=9

The sum of digits in a two-digit number is 14. If you double the reversed number and add the result to the original number, the sum would be 222. Find the original number

Answers

Answer:

Original number is 86

Step-by-step explanation:

              Original:   10x + y

Double reversed:   2(10y + x)

Constraints:

  x + y = 14                                     ===>            x = 14 - y

  2(10y + x) + 10x + y = 222          ===>           21y + 12x = 222

Substitution to find y:

  21y + 12x = 222

  21y + 12(14 - y) = 222

  21y + 168 - 12y = 222

            9y + 168 = 222

                      9y = 54

                        y = 6

Substitution to find x:

  x = 14 - y

  x = 14 - 6

  x = 8

Original:   10x + y

                 10(8) + (6)

                 80 + 6

                 86

x = Tens place
y = Ones place
x+y=14
y=14-x
2(10y+x)+(10x+y)=222
20y+2x+10x+y=222
21y+12x=222
21(14-x)+12x=222
294-21x+12x=222
-9x = -72
x = 8
y = 14-8 =6
