Apples lose 85% of their weight while drying. How many pounds of fresh apples do you need to get 10.5 lb of dried apples ?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

12.35 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

10.5/0.85=~12.35

12.3529411765

Answer 2

Answer:

70 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the original amount by 0.15, since it is a percent decrease you will divide by 1 - 0.85, which is 0.15

10.5 / 0.15 = 70

The factors of [tex]x^{3}-y^{3}[/tex] are [tex][(x-y)(x^{2}+xy+y^{2})][/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

[tex]x^{3}+y^{3}=(x+y)(x^{2}-xy+y^{2})[/tex]

Compute the factors of [tex]x^{3}-y^{3}[/tex] as follows:

[tex]x^{3}+(-y)^{3}=(x+(-y))(x^{2}-x(-y)+(-y)^{2})[/tex]

     [tex]x^{3}-y^{3}=(x-y)(x^{2}+xy+y^{2})[/tex]

Thus, the factors of [tex]x^{3}-y^{3}[/tex] are [tex][(x-y)(x^{2}+xy+y^{2})][/tex].

Which graph represents the equation below

Answers

Answer:

c.

Step-by-step explanation:

c is the correct answer 1,4

Answer:

graph C

Step-by-step explanation:

so the equation given is [tex]f(x)=-(x+1)(x-3)[/tex]

the negative in front of the (x+1)(x-3) indicates that the parabola will reflect over the x-axis and will open downward.  This eliminates graphs A and B

the (x+1)(x-3) part tells you the zeros of thr function(x-intercepts)

All you have to do is set (x+1) equal to zero and (x-3) equal to zero as shown:

x+1=0 -- subtract 1 from both sides to get -- x=-1

x-3=0 -- add 3 to both sides to get -- x=3

Therefore, -1 and 3 are your zeros or x-intercepts for the function.  

Now, look at graphs C and D to see which of the two graphs passes through (-1,0) and (3,0), of course at the x-axis

The only graph that works is graph C so graph C is your answer

Dan is 8 years older than Fiona. Gavyn is 9 years younger than Fiona. If the total of their ages is 56, how old is the eldest of them?

Answers

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

If Fiona's age is x, Dan and Gavyn's ages respectively are x + 8 and x - 9. We can write:

x + x + 8 + x - 9 = 56

3x - 1 = 56

3x = 57

x = 19

The eldest is Dan (because x + 8 > x and x + 8 > x - 9). His age is x + 8 = 19 + 8 = 27.

Amy must form a three-letter arrangement using only letters from the word dice. She cannot use a letter more than once in the arrangement. (Her arrangement doesn't need to be a valid word.) The probability that Amy forms an arrangement that begins and ends with vowels is _____. The probability that Amy forms an arrangement whose letters are in alphabetical order (ascending or descending) is ______.

Answers

Answer #1: [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Answer #2: [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

__ __ __

There are 4 × 3 × 2 possibilities. For the first question, "The probability that Amy forms an arrangement that begins and ends with vowels is _____." To have a her word end in a vowel, then her word will have to end in either 'e', or 'i'. For this to be possible there are two possibilities for the last letter. Then the middle letter will have three possibilities because one letter will have been used for the last one. Finally, there will be two more possibilities for the letter at the end. That's 2 × 3 × 2 possibilities.

To get a word whose arrangement is in alphabetical order either backwards or forwards I just listed possibilities:

The minimum weekly commission earned to be a STAR sales person is $9000. If Sandra receives a 12% commission on the sale of all cars, write and solve an inequality to represent the minimum number of cars she must sell in order to be a sales person

Answers

Answer:

[tex]numbers\ of\ cars \geq \frac{75000}{price\ of\ the\ car}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I can help you with this

Step 1

define

The minimum weekly commission earned to be a STAR sales person is $9000, let's name this value as M

if Sandra receives a 12% commisions of the sale of all cars, then that 12% must be equal or higher than 9000 in order to become a STAR sales person

Step 2

using a rule of three find the 100%

if

12% ⇔ $9000

then

100% ⇔x

the ratio is

[tex]\frac{12}{9000}=\frac{100}{x}\\[/tex]

Now, solve for x

[tex]\frac{12}{9000}=\frac{100}{x}\\\\\frac{12*x}{9000}=\frac{100}\\\\{12x}=9000*100\\\\12x=900000\\x=\frac{900000}{12}\\ x=75000\\[/tex]

so, Sandra must sell a minimun of $75000

Now, to give a response, we need to asume a only price for every car(p).

now, in matemathical terms.

the minimun number of cars she must to sell is

minum number of cars sandra has to sell to become a STAR sales person

is [tex]\frac{75000}{price\ of\ the\ car} \\[/tex]

[tex]\frac{75000}{price\ of\ the\ car} \\[/tex]

now, price of the car* number of the car = 75000

where

[tex]numbers\ of\ cars \geq \frac{75000}{price\ of\ the\ car}[/tex]

t = 2 s

v = 9375m/s

a = v-u/t

3.75 = 9375 - u / 2

3.75 × 2 = 9375 - u

Alice and Bob each have a certain amount of money. If Alice receives $n$ dollars from Bob, then she will have $4$ times as much money as Bob. If, on the other hand, she gives $n$ dollars to Bob, then she will have $3$ times as much money as Bob. If neither gives the other any money, what is the ratio of the amount of money Alice has to the amount Bob has?

Answers

Answer: 31 : 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the following:

Alice's amount = P

Bob's amount = Q

Amount received = n

If Alice receives $n$ dollars from Bob ;then she will have $4$ times as much money as Bob.

P + n = 4(Q - n)

P + n = 4Q - 4n

P = 4Q - 4n - n

P = 4Q - 5n - - - - (1)

If, on the other hand, she gives $n$ dollars to Bob, then she will have $3$ times as much money as Bob

P - n = 3(Q + n)

P - n = 3Q + 3n

P = 3Q + 3n + n

P = 3Q + 4n - - - - - - (2)

Equating both equations - (1) and (2)

4Q - 5n = 3Q + 4n

4Q - 3Q = 4n + 5n

Q = 9n

Express P in terms of n, use either equation (1) or (2)

From equation 2:

P = 3Q + 4n

Substituting Q = 9n

P = 3(9n) + 4n

P = 27n + 4n

P = 31n

Alice's amount = P, Bob's = Q

Ratio = P:Q

31 : 9

Answer:

31:9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $A$ and $B$ be the amount of money Alice and Bob have, respectively, at the beginning. We know that

\begin{align*}

A + n &= 4(B - n),\\

A - n &= 3(B + n).

\end{align*}

Simplifying, we have

\begin{align*}

A + 5n &= 4B, \\

A &= 3B + 4n.

\end{align*}Subtracting the first equation from the second gives $5n = B - 4n$, so $B = 9n$. Substituting this into the first equation gives $A + n = 4(9n - n)$, from which we get $A = 31n$.

Therefore, the desired ratio is $\frac{A}{B} = \frac{31n}{9n} = \boxed{\dfrac{31}{9}}$.

In a study of pain relievers , 100 people were given product A , and all but 33 experienced relief . In the same study , 50 people were given product B , and all but 12 experienced relief

Answers

Answer:

Here we want to find the relative frequencies for both products.

for product A we have a sample of 100 people (our 100%) and all but 33 of them experienced relief.

Then, we can find the relative frequency as:

Pa = (33/100)*100% = 33%

this means that product A is not efficient in 33% of the cases.

For product B, the sample is 50 people (our 100%) and all but 12 of them experienced relief, then the relative frequency is:

Pb = (12/50)*100% = 24%.

This means that product B is not efficient in 24% of the cases.

We can see that, in percentage, the product B seems to be more efficient.

Find the area of the triangle.

Answers

Answer:

17.7 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use trig to find the height of the triangle. Then the area is bh/2.

Extend side BC to the right until it is vertically below point A. Draw a segment from point A vertically down until it intersects the extension of side BC. Call the point of intersection D. <D is a right angle.

Use triangle ABD to find the height, AD, of triangle ABC.

For <B of 37 deg, AD is the opposite leg. AB is the hypotenuse. The trig ratio that relates the opposite lefg to the hypotenuse is the sine.

sin B = opp/hyp

sin 37 deg = AD/13.1

AD = 13.1 * sin 37 deg

AD = 7.9

AD is the height of triangle ABC. BC is the base. We can find the area of triangle ABC.

area = bh/2

area = (4.5 cm)(7.9 cm)/2

area = 17.7 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = (x + 1)(x + 4)(x - 7)

To find the x- intercepts let f(x) = 0, that is

(x + 1)(x + 4)(x - 7) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

x- intercepts are (- 1, 0 ), (- 4, 0 ), (7, 0 )
