If Kaido's age is x, Hiroshi's age is y and Saitama's age is z, then ratio value for their ages is x : y : z.

What is ratio?

Comparing two amounts of the same units and determining the ratio tells us how much of one quantity is in the other. Two categories can be used to categorise ratios. Part to whole ratio is one, and part to part ratio is the other. The part-to-part ratio shows the relationship between two separate entities or groupings.

Let the age of Kaido be represented as x.

Let the age of Hiroshi be represented as y.

Let the age of Saitama be represented as z.

The ratio of Kaido's age to Hiroshi's age can be given as -

Kaido's age : Hiroshi's age

Substituting the values in the expression -

x : y

The ratio of Kaido's age to Saitama's age can be given as -

Kaido's age : Saitama's age

Substituting the values in the expression -

x : z

The ratio of Hiroshi's age to Saitama's age can be given as -

Hiroshi's age : Saitama's age

Substituting the values in the expression -

y : z

The ratio of Kaido's age to Hiroshi's age to Saitama's age can be given as -

Kaido's age : Hiroshi's age : Saitama's age

Substituting the values in the expression -

x : y : z

Therefore, the ratio expression is obtained as x : y : z.

The statement "producing great engineers who benefit science and technology in India is the most important function of IITs" and "IITs are greatly improving the image of India in the West" are both important functions of IITs, and the priority of these functions may depend on individual perspectives and goals.

Some people might argue that producing engineers is more crucial for the development of India's technology and economy, while others might argue that improving the image of India in the West is equally important for increasing its global recognition and competitiveness. Both functions play important roles and it is a matter of perspective which one is considered more important.

Correct Question :

Jai: IITs are producing great engineers, who ultimately end up benefiting science and technology in India, but more important is the fact that they are greatly improving the image of India in the west

The volume of the metal sphere is 4π/3(R^3 - r^3)

The volume of the solid generated is 2π cubic units.

The volume of the ring can be found by subtracting the volumes of two spheres with radii R and r:

V = (4/3) * π * (R^3 - r^3)

So, the volume of the ring is given by:

V = (4/3) * π * (R^3 - r^3) cubic units.

Evaluate

V = 4π/3(R^3 - r^3)

We have the equation to be

y = 1/x

The volume of the solid is given by the definite integral:

V = 2π ∫[a,b] x * y dx

where a and b are the lower and upper limits of the interval over which we are integrating.

In this case, a = 1 and b = 2, so the volume of the solid is given by:

V = 2π ∫[1,2] x * 1/x dx = 2π ∫[1,2] dx = 2π (x)|[1,2] = 2π (2 - 1) = 2π.

So, the volume is to 2π cubic units.

To construct a frequency distribution and frequency histogram of the data using five classes, we first need to determine the range of the data and the class interval.

The range is the difference between the highest and lowest values in the data set, in this case, 98 - 1 = 97.

We can divide the range by the number of classes to determine the class interval. In this case, 97/5 = 19.4.

We will round up to 20 to have easily divisible numbers.

The class intervals with the frequency would be:

1-20: 3

21-40: 2

41-60: 0

61-80: 3

81-100: 2

Next, we need to create a frequency histogram by plotting the class intervals on the x-axis and the frequencies on the y-axis, and then drawing a bar for each class interval representing the frequency.

The histogram will be skewed right. A histogram is skewed right when the tail of the histogram extends farther to the right than the left. In this case, the majority of the data falls in the lower class intervals, but there are a few outliers on the higher end, which extends the histogram to the right.

1. At 4.142s the first shell will hit the first enemy ship.

2. At 3.536s the second shell will hit the second enemy ship.

3. The two shells will be 677.1 meters apart when they hit their respective targets.

To solve this problem, we can use the equations for the horizontal and vertical motion of a projectile.

The horizontal velocity of a projectile can be found using the equation: [tex]v_x = v_0 * cos\theta[/tex] where,

The vertical velocity of a projectile can be found using the equation:

[tex]v_y = v_0 * sin\theta[/tex]

The horizontal displacement of a projectile can be found using the equation:

[tex]x = v_0 * cos\theta * t[/tex]

The vertical displacement of a projectile can be found using the equation:

[tex]y = v_0 * sin\theta * t - (1/2)gt^2[/tex] where,

1. To find the time that the first shell will hit the first enemy ship, we can use the equation for the horizontal displacement:

[tex]t = x / (v_0 * cos\theta)[/tex]

t = 2000m / (800m/s * cos(45))

= 4.142s

2. To find the time that the second shell will hit the second enemy ship, we can use the equation for the horizontal displacement:

[tex]t = x / (v_0 * cos\theta)[/tex]

t = 2000m / (1000m/s * cos(60))

= 3.536s

3. To find the distance between the two shells when they hit their respective targets, we can use the equation for the horizontal displacement:

[tex]x_1 = v_0 * cos\theta * t \\x_2 = v_0 * cos\theta * t[/tex]

x1 = 800m/s * cos(45) * 4.142s

= 2858.9m

x2 = 1000m/s * cos(60) * 3.536s

= 3536m

x2 - x1 = 3536m - 2858.9m

196 millilitres of tomato paste for 16 litres of spaghetti sauce.

=======================================================

Explanation:

We're told that 12 litres of sauce goes with 147 millilitres of paste.

Divide the larger value over the smaller: 147/12 = 12.25 exactly.

Do the same thing to each of the answer choices A through D.

Optionally we could represent the results in a table like so

[tex]\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|} \cline{1-4}\text{Choice} & \text{Paste} & \text{Sauce} & \text{Paste/Sauce}\\\cline{1-4}\text{A} & 94 & 8 & 11.75\\\cline{1-4}\text{B} & 108 & 9 & 12\\\cline{1-4}\text{C} & 196 & 16 & 12.25\\\cline{1-4}\text{D} & 169 & 14 & 12.071 \ \text{(approx)}\\\cline{1-4}\end{array}[/tex]

Spreadsheet software is handy if you go this route. You don't have to worry about the units in this case.

Choice C is the only option that yields the ratio 12.25, which means it's the only possible answer.

So, only option C is a counterexample of the conditional statement "If a number is divisible by 4, then it is divisible by 8."

A counterexample of a conditional statement is a specific case or example that contradicts the statement or goes against its logical implications.

In this case, the conditional statement is "If a number is divisible by 4, then it is divisible by 8."

Option C, 36, is a counterexample of this conditional statement.

This is because 36 is divisible by 4 (9 x 4 = 36), but it is not divisible by 8 (36 / 8 = 4.5). This contradicts the statement that if a number is divisible by 4, it must also be divisible by 8.

Option A, 12, is not a counterexample of the conditional statement because 12 is divisible by 4 (12 / 4 = 3) and also divisible by 8 (12 / 8 = 1.5).

Option B, 32, is not a counterexample of the conditional statement because 32 is divisible by 4 (32 / 4 = 8) and also divisible by 8 (32 / 8 = 4).

Option D, 20, is not a counterexample of the conditional statement because 20 is not divisible by 4 (20 / 4 = 5)

d) For the people surveyed, the events of being a person whose response is Sports and being a man are not independent.

e) The probability that at least 4 of the people selected will respond watching TV as their favorite activity is 1 - 0.2097 = 0.7903

a) We need to multiply the proportion frequency of women responding with Sports (0.2) by the relative frequency of women to get the likelihood that the individual chosen will be a woman (0.4).

Thus, we obtain: 0.2 * 0.4 = 0.08 Therefore, the likelihood of this occurring is 0.08.

b) We can add the relative frequency of TV for men (0.3) and the relative frequency of men (0.6) and subtract the overlap (the relative frequency of TV for men and men), which is equal to 0.2 * 0.3 = 0.06 to determine the likelihood that the individual chosen would either respond with TV or be a man.

The probability is therefore 0.3 + 0.6 - 0.06 = 0.84

c) Using the algorithm, we can determine the likelihood that the individual chosen will be a guy and that their response to the question will be "Sports." P(Sports and Man) = 0.2 * 0.6 = 0.12 P(A and B) = P(A and B) / P(B) P(Sports and Man) = P(Sports and Man) / P(Man)

P(Sports|Man) = 0.12/0.6=0.2

d) For the respondents, being a man and having selected "Sports" as a response are not separate events. P(Sports and Man) = 0.12 and P(Sports) * P(Man) = 0.2 * 0.6 = 0.12, which are not equivalent, demonstrate this.

e) Using binomial distribution, the probability that at least 4 of the people selected will respond watching TV as their favorite activity is 1 -

P(X < 4) - P(X = 4)

P(X < 4) = (6 C 0) * (0.32)^4 * (0.68)^2

P(X = 4) = (6 C 4) * (0.32)^4 * (0.68)^2

P(X < 4) + P(X = 4) = 0.2097

The Gompertz model of tumor growth is a mathematical model that describes the growth of a tumor over time. It is characterized by two parameters, the intrinsic growth rate (r) and the carrying capacity (K), and is described by the following differential equation:

dn/dt = rn(1 - n/K).where n is the size of the tumor and t is time.

To classify the fixed points of the Gompertz model of tumor growth using linear stability analysis, we first need to find the fixed points by setting dn/dt = 0 and solving for n. The fixed points are the values of n that make the tumor size constant. In this case, the fixed point is n* = K.

Next, we need to linearize the system around the fixed point by using the Jacobian matrix. The Jacobian matrix for the Gompertz model is:
J = [dr/dn, d(rn(1-n/K))/dn]
[-rn(1-n/K)/K, rn(1-n/K)+(r*n/K^2)]

In the Gompertz model, the fixed point is n* = K, and the eigenvalues are -r and r/K, which are both negative. This means that the fixed point is stable, and the tumor size will converge to the carrying capacity K if perturbed.

The term "operation" in mathematics refers to the process of computing a value utilizing operands and a math operator. For the specified operands or integers, the math operator's symbol has predetermined rules that must be followed. In mathematics, there are five basic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and modular forms.

Given, Mike earns 5.00 per hour overtime is paid at the time and half of his regular rate worked 42 hours last week.

Since it is not mentioned that mike worked overtime or not so we will consider this a normal work hour for a week is 42 hours.

Thus total he earns = 42*5

total he earns = 210$

If he works overtime,

for every hour he worked overtime he would get = 1.5* 5

for every hour he worked overtime he would get = 7.5

Therefore, For the week mike's gross pay is $210.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The investment below is compounded semi-annually, while an investment of the same principal at the same rate compounded annually would have interest compounded once per year.

The formula for compound interest is A = P(1 + r/n)^nt where A is the final amount, P is the principal, r is the annual interest rate, n is the number of times the interest is compounded per year and t is the number of years.

In the case of the semi-annual investment:

A = 9000(1 + 0.04/2)^(2*15) = $21,831.62

In the case of the annual investment:

A = 9000(1 + 0.04)^15 = $21,812.30

As we can see, the semi-annual investment yields a slightly larger return than the annual investment, $19.32 more. Compounding interest more frequently results in a larger return due to the interest earning interest.
