Aria and her children went into a bakery and will buy donuts and brownies. She must buy at least 6 donuts and brownies altogetherWrite an inequality that would represent the possible values for the number of donuts purchased, d, and the number of brownies purchased, b.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Inequality for donuts and brownies is;

d ≥ 1 ≤ b

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that aria will buy donuts and brownies.

We are also told that, number of donuts is d while number of brownies is b.

We are also told that she must by at least a total of 6 donuts and brownies together. Which means that the sum of d and b must not be 6 or greater than 6.

So the inequality will be;

d + b ≥ 6

Thus, for the donut and brownies, inequality would be; d ≥ 1 ≤ b

Answer 2

Answer: d+b≥6 is the correct answer trust me

A student walk 60m on a bearing of 028 degree and then 180m due east. How is she from her starting point, correct to the nearest whole number?

Answers

Answer: she is 215m from her starting point

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram representing the situation is shown in the attached photo. Triangle ABC is formed with AC representing her distance from her starting point.

Angle B = 28 + 90 = 118°

To determine AC, we would apply the law of Cosines which is expressed as

a² = b² + c² - 2abCosA

Where a,b and c are the length of each side of the triangle and B is the angle corresponding to b(AC). Likening the expression to the given triangle, it becomes

AC² = AB² + BC² - 2(AB × BC)CosAC

AC² = 60² + 180² - 2(60 × 180)Cos118

AC² = 3600 + 32400 - 21600Cos118

AC² = 36000 - 21600(-0.46947156)

AC² = 36000 + 10140.59

AC² = 46140.59

AC = √46140.59

AC = 215 m

Answer: y = 1/2x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

#4 We are going to use slope intercept form, (y = mx+b)

1. The line crossing the y-intercept at (0,-6)

2. The slope is 1/2 (increasing by 1 then over 2 --> RISE OVER RUN)

3. Make the equation: y= 1/2x - 6

Answer: 3 . y = -1/3 + 4/3   4. y= 1/2x -6

Step-by-step explanation:

3.   In the first graph  they have the coordinates,  (-2,2)  and (4,0). We have to solve for the slope and the y-intercept in other to write and equation.

To find the slope we have to find the change in the y values  and divide it by the difference in the x values.

2-0 = 2

-2 -4 = -6

2/-6 =  -1/3  Now we know that the slope is -1/3  so we need to  find the y-intercept.

2= -1/3(-2) +b   where be is the y intercept.

2= 2/3 + b

-2/3  -2/3

b= 4/3  

Now we could write the equation as  y= -1/3 + 4/3  

4. The same with number 4.  

We will find the slope and the y intercept by using some points on the number line.

(0,-6)  This already have the y-intercept graphed so we will need to just find the slope.

(0,-6)

(4,-4)  

-6 - (-4) = -2

0 - 4 =  -4

-2/-4 = 1/2

Equation: y = 1/2x  -6

(a)See below

(b)I) 0.125  (ii)0.828125   (iii)0.234375   (iv) 0.625   (v)0.65625

Step-by-step explanation:

When an  8-sided die is rolled twice, the sample space is the set of all possible pairs (a,b) where a is the 1st outcome and b is the 2nd outcome.

The sample space is:

[tex][(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6),(1, 7),(1, 8)\\(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6),(2, 7),(2, 8)\\(3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6),(3, 7),(3, 8)\\(4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6),(4, 7),(4, 8)\\(5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5),(5, 6),(5, 7),(5, 8)\\(6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4)(6, 5),(6, 6),(6, 7),(6, 8)\\(7, 1), (7, 2), (7, 3), (7, 4)(7, 5),(7, 6),(7, 7),(7, 8)\\(8, 1), (8, 2), (8, 3), (8, 4)(8, 5),(8, 6),(8, 7),(8, 8)][/tex]

PART A

The sample space of the product a*b of each pair forms the required possibility diagram.

This is given as:  

[tex]1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7,8\\2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12,14,16\\3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24\\4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32\\5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40\\6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48\\7,14,21,28,35,42,49,56\\8,16,24,32,40,48,56,64[/tex]

PART B

I) A prime number

The number of products that gives prime numbers = 8  

The probability that the product is a prime number

[tex]=\dfrac{8}{64}= \dfrac{1}{8}\\=0.125[/tex]

ii) Not a perfect square  

Number of products that results in perfect squares =11

The probability that the product is not a perfect square

[tex]=\dfrac{64-11}{64}= \dfrac{53}{64}\\=0.828125[/tex]

iii) A multiple of 5  

Number of products that are multiples of 5=15

 The probability that the product is a multiple of 5

[tex]=\dfrac{15}{64}\\=0.234375[/tex]

iv) Less than or equal to 21

Number of products which are less than or equal to 21=40

 The probability that the product less than or equal to 21

[tex]=\dfrac{40}{64}=\dfrac{5}{8}\\=0.625[/tex]

v) Divisible by 4 or 6

Number of products divisible by 4 or 6= 42

 The probability that the product is divisible by 4 or 6

select a brand with the least expensive corn per ounce

A) ounces price
18 1.50
36 3.00
54 4.50
B) .75 for 15 oz
C) Maia buys an 11 ounce can of brand c corn for 2.20​

Answers

Answer: Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The price per ounce can be calculated as the amount of you paid divided the number of ounces that you get.

A) we have a table:

ounces          price

18                     $1.5

36                    $3.00

54                    $4.5

We can see that here we have a linear relationship. for example, the price for 18 ounces is $1.5

Then the price per ounce is:

p = $1.5/18 = $0.083

B) here we know that 15 oz cost $0.75, the price per ounce is:

p = $0.75/15 = $0.05

C) here we have 11 ounces, and the price is $2.20

then we have:

p = $2.2/11 = $0.2

Then we can conclude that the least expensive is option B.

Find the volume of this square
based pyramid.
10 in
12 in
[ ? ]

Answers

Answer:

480 in.^3

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of pyramid = (1/3) * (area of base) * height

Since this pyramid has a square for the base, the area of the base is

A = s^2, where s = length of the side of the square

volume = (1/3) * s^2 * h

volume = (1/3)(12 in.)^2 * (10 in.)

volume = (1/3)(144)(10) in.^3

volume = 480 in.^3

The volume of the square-based pyramid is 480 cubic inches as per the concept of the pyramid.

To find the volume of a square-based pyramid, we can use the formula:

Volume = (1/3) x base area x height.

In this case, the base of the pyramid is a square with a side length of 12 inches, and the height of the pyramid is 10 inches.

First, we calculate the base area of the pyramid, which is the area of the square base:

Base area = side length x side length

                = 12 in x 12 in

                = 144 square inches.

Now, we can substitute the values into the volume formula:

[tex]Volume = \frac{1}{3} \times 144 \times 10[/tex].

Multiplying these values, we get:

[tex]Volume = \frac{1}{3} \times1440 {in}^3[/tex]

Simplifying the expression, we have:

[tex]Volume = 480\ in^3[/tex].

Set up the problem, but use a calculator to find the number of outcomes for the permutation. Eight horses run a race. In how many ways can the first three finishers turn out?

Answers

Answer:  336

Explanation:

Label the slots A,B,C for first through third place.

There are 8 choices for slot A, 7 for slot B, and 6 for slot C. We start with 8 and count our way down until we get to the final slot. Then we multiply out those values

8*7*6 = 336

There are 336 ways to select three people from a pool of eight overall.

-----------------

If you want to use the permutation formula, then your steps might look like this

[tex]_n P _r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}\\\\_8 P _3 = \frac{8!}{(8-3)!}\\\\_8 P _3 = \frac{8!}{5!}\\\\_8 P _3 = \frac{8*7*6*5!}{5!}\\\\_8 P _3 = 8*7*6\\\\_8 P _3 = 336\\\\[/tex]

Note how the 5! terms cancel out on the second to last step, leaving behind the expression 8*7*6 which was found earlier.

The allocation of weights to the important variables that produce the calculation's optimum is referred to as a direct consequence.

The sum of x and y is 7. The value of y is three more than the value of x. Then the equation is given as,

x + y = 7                ...1

y = x + 3               ...2

The symbol "<" means less than.

Comparing 4.589 with 4.958, 4.958 is greater than 4.589 by 0.369 (4.958 - 4.589).

So therefore, if we are to write 1 statement for both, we would say "4.589 is less than 4.958".

This can be written by using just symbols without words, thus, we have:

4.589 < 4.958.
