An N-scale model railroad caboose is 3 inches long. N scale is 169 feet to 1 foot.


Let c represent the length of a real caboose. Write a proportion, in terms of c, that can be used to solve for the length of a real caboose. (Hint: Compare feet to inches. How many inches are in one foot?)


How long (in feet) is a real caboose?

ft

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

c/3 = 169/1242 1/4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we want to know the actual number of feet, we can write the proportion with that in the numerator.

  [tex]\dfrac{\text{actual feet}}{\text{scale inches}}=\boxed{\dfrac{c}{3}=\dfrac{169}{12}}\\\\c=\dfrac{3\cdot169}{12}=42\frac{1}{4}\qquad\text{multiply by 3}[/tex]

The real caboose is 42 1/4 feet long.

A high school has 28 players on the football team. The summary of the players' weights is given in the box plot. Approximately, what is the percentage of players weighing greater than or equal to 242 pounds?

Answers

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the attached diagram, we can see that the box plot is divided into 3 sections,

Q1 = First Quartile (1/4 the players) = 25%

Q2 = Second Quartile (2/4 = 1/2 of the players) = 50%

Q3 = Third Quartile (3/4 of the players) = 75%

From the attached diagram, the weight of 242 pounds is on the Third Quartile, this means , 75% of the players weigh 242 pounds and below

The percentage of players weighing greater than or equal to 242 pounds is calculated as: 100 - 75%

= 25%

The percentage of players weighing greater than or equal to 242 pounds is 25 %.

Quartile of Data ;From the attached diagram, we can see that the box plot is divided into 3 sections.[tex]Q_{1}[/tex] = First Quartile , which represent [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] part of the player. That is 25%[tex]Q_{2} =[/tex] Second Quartile ,which represent 1/2 of the players= 50%[tex]Q_{3}=[/tex]Third Quartile , which represent 3/4 of the players = 75%

From the attached diagram, the weight of 242 pounds is comes on the Third Quartile.

It means that 75% of the players weigh 242 pounds and below

Hence, The percentage of players weighing greater than or equal to 242 pounds is,

Find the solution of the system of equations.
-8x + 7y = -2
- 8x + 8y = 8

Answers

-56x + 49y= -14

- 56x + 56y=64

105y=50

y=0.48

-8x+7(0.48)=-2

-8x+3.36=-2

-8x=-5.36

x=0.67

Answer:

(x, y) = (9, 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

-8x + 7y = -2...... (1)

- 8x + 8y = 8......(2)

Multiplying on both sides of the equations (1) & (2) by 8 and 7 respectively, we find:

-64x + 56y = - 16...(3)

-56x + 56y = 56.....(4)

Subtracting equation (4) from equation (3), we find:

-64x + 56y = - 16

-56x + 56y = 56

+ - -

_____________

- 8x = - 72

x = - 72/-8

x = 9

Substituting x = 9 in equation (1), we find:

-8(9) +7y = - 2

-72 +7y = - 2

7y = 72 - 2

7y = 70

y = 70/7

y = 10

(x, y) = (9, 10)

Write the slope-intercept from of the equation of the line described. Through (-2, -1) perpendicular to y = 1/4x

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope Intercept Form is "y = mx + b"

What it means?

"m" - slope

"b" - y intercept (0,b)

So, we are given the slope, but not the y intercept..

For now, lets fill in the slope.

y = 1/4x +  b

We are given a coordinate pair (-2,-1)

Fill it into the equation and solve for b.

-1 = 0.25(-2) + b

-1 = -0.50 + b

- 0.50 = b

We now have the value of "B"

Fill in the rest of the equation:

y = 1/4x + -.50

Austin would like to bake 20 more identical cupcakes to ice each cupcake in the likeness of a playing-card. Does he have enough left to create 20 additional cupcakes? Explain.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  no

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a proportion to find how much mix is required to make 52 cupcakes.

  quarts/cupcakes = 3.5/32 = x/52

Multiplying by 52, we find ...

  x = 52(3.5/32) = 5.6875 . . . quarts needed for 52 cupcakes

This is more mix than Austin made. He does not have enough left for 20 more cupcakes.

The communative property states that the order in addition and multiplication dosen't matter.

In politics, marketing, etc. we often want to estimate a percentage or proportion p. One calculation in statistical polling is the margin of error - the largest (reasonble) error that the poll could have. For example, a poll result of 72% with a margin of error of 4% indicates that p is most likely to be between 68% and 76% (72% minus 4% to 72% plus 4%).



In a (made-up) poll, the proportion of people who like dark chocolate more than milk chocolate was 27% with a margin of error of 1.9%. Describe the conclusion about p using an absolute value inequality.



The answer field below uses the symbolic entry option in Mobius. That lets you type in a vertical bar | to represent absolute values. Also, when you type in and then =, the symbolic entry option will automatically convert that to ≥.



Be sure to use decimal numbers in your answer (such as using 0.40 for 40%).

Answers

Answer:

|0.251 < p < 0.289|

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The proportion of people who like dark chocolate than milk chocolate in a made up poll is 27%

Margin of Error = 1.9%

The conclusion about the proportion p using absolute value inequality ;

Interval :

P ± margin of error

27% ± 1.9%

(27 - 1.9)% ; (27 + 1.9)%

25.1% ; 28.9%

0.251 ; 0.289

Hence,

|0.251 < p < 0.289|

Element X decays radioactively with a half life of 9 minutes. If there are 610grams of
Element X, how long, to the nearest tenth of a minute, would it take the element to
decay to 124 grams?
y = a(.5) t/h

Answers

A half-life of 9 minutes corresponds to a decay factor k such that

[tex]\dfrac12=e^{9k}\implies k=-\dfrac19\ln\left(\dfrac12\right)[/tex]

Then the time it takes for the substance to decay from 610 g to 124 g is time t such that

[tex]124\,\mathrm g=(610\,\mathrm g)e^{kt}[/tex]

Solve for t :

[tex]\dfrac{62}{305}=e^{kt}[/tex]

[tex]\ln\left(\dfrac{62}{305}\right)=kt[/tex]

[tex]t=\dfrac1k\ln\left(\dfrac{62}{305}\right)\approx20.686[/tex]

so it takes about 20.7 min for the 610 g sample to decay down to 124 g.

Every cookie is sold at $0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for complete question

Required

Determine the unit rate

To solve this, we simply take any corresponding values of Cost of cookies and number of cookies

When

Cost = $2

Number = 4

[tex]Rate = Cost/Number[/tex]

[tex]Rate = \$2/4[/tex]

[tex]Rate = \$0.5[/tex] per cookie

Pick another corresponding values

When

Cost = $6

Number = 12

[tex]Rate = Cost/Number[/tex]

[tex]Rate = \$6/12[/tex]

[tex]Rate = \$0.5[/tex] per cookie

Hence, the unit rate is $0.5 per cookie

What it represents is that: Every cookie is sold at $0.5
