Can someone please explain step by step on how I subtract fractions like for an a example!
7/8 - 3/8 ?

Answers

Answer 1

Keep the denominators the same and subtract the numerators. So for example in your example:

7/8 - 3/8

Leave the 8 alone. Subtract 3 from 7.

7 - 3 = 4

So answer is:

4/8

Sometimes they may have to simplify the answer, and in this case, 4/8 could be simplified to 1/2

Answer 2
When subtracting fractions with the same denominator (in this case 8) you only have to worry about the numerator (7&3)

ANSWER - 7/8-3/8= 4/8

Now since you can simplify 4/8 you would divide both by 4 and your simplified answer is 1/2.

A random sample of 25 boxes of cereal have a mean of 372.5grams and a standard deviation of 15 grams. Does an average box of cereal contain more than 368 grams of cereal? Test hypothesis at the 5% significance level, outline all steps involved. (9mks)​

Answers

Using the t-distribution, it is found that since the test statistic is less than the critical value for the right-tailed test, there is not enough evidence to conclude that an average box of cereal contain more than 368 grams of cereal.

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if the average box of cereal does not contain more than 368 grams, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu \leq 368[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if it contains, that is:

[tex]H_1: \mu > 368[/tex]

We have the standard deviation for the sample, hence, the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The test statistic is given by:

[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

The parameters are:

[tex]\overline{x}[/tex] is the sample mean. [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis. s is the standard deviation of the sample. n is the sample size.

In this problem, the values of the parameters are: [tex]\overline{x} = 372.5, \mu = 368, s = 15, n = 25[/tex].

Hence, the value of the test statistic is:

[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{372.5 - 368}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{25}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = 1.5[/tex]

The critical value for a right-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is greater than a value, with a significance level of 0.05, with 25 -1 = 24 df, is of [tex]t^{\ast} = 1.71[/tex].

Since the test statistic is less than the critical value for the right-tailed test, there is not enough evidence to conclude that an average box of cereal contain more than 368 grams of cereal.

Birdseed costs ​$0.57 a pound and sunflower seeds cost ​$0.87 a pound. Angela​ Leinenbachs' pet store wishes to make a 30 pound mixture of birdseed and sunflower seeds that sells for ​$0.81 per pound. How many pounds of each type of seed should she​ use?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

x = pounds birdseed

y = pounds sunflower seeds

x + y = 30

0.57x + 0.87y = 30×0.81

with this last trick (to calculate the full cost of the whole 30 pounds based on the targeted individual price per pound) we bring both constraints into the play.

from the first equation we get

x = 30 - y

and we use that in the second equation :

0.57×(30-y) + 0.87y = 30×0.81 = $24.30

17.1 - 0.57y + 0.87y = 24.3

0.3y = 7.2

y = 24

x = 30 - y = 30 - 24 = 6

she uses 6 pounds of birdseed and 24 pounds of sunflower seeds.

Here, 75% of the initial price X, is the sale price of jeans during the season which is $60.

75/100 × X = $60

75X/100 =$60

Triangle in space with vertices P= (1, 0, 0), Q = (0,1,0), R=(0, 0, 2), find angle at P P=​

Answers

Answer:

  71.6°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle can be found from the dot product of PQ and PR.

  PQ·PR = |PQ|×|PR|×cos(α)

where α is the angle between the two segments.

  cos(α) = (Q -P)·(R -P)/(|Q -P|×|R -P|)

  = ((0, 1, 0) -(1, 0, 0))·((0, 0, 2) -(1, 0, 0))/(|Q -P|×|R -P|)

  = (-1, 1, 0)·(-1, 0, 2)/(√(((-1)² +1²)((-1²) +2²)) = (1+0+0)/√10

  α = arccos(1/√10) ≈ 71.6°

The angle at P is about 71.6°.

_____

Additional comment

The side lengths of the triangle are √2, √5, √5. As we have seen, the angle at P is bounded by the sides of length √2 and √5. The law of cosines can also be used to arrive at the angle between these sides.

Please help me find the height of 302 after some seconds?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the initial velocity of the object is 170 ft/s, the expression for h is given by

[tex]h = -16t^2 + 170t[/tex]

In order to find the time it takes for the object to reach the height of 302 ft, we to rewrite the equation above as

[tex]302 = -16t^2 +170t \Rightarrow 16t^2 - 170t + 302 = 0[/tex]

This is a quadratic equation whose roots are

[tex]t = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

where a = 16, b = -170 and c = 302. Using these values, we get

[tex]t = \dfrac{170 \pm \sqrt{(-170)^2 - 4(16)(302)}}{2(16)}[/tex]

[tex]\;\;\;=\dfrac{170 \pm \sqrt{28900 - 19328}}{32}[/tex]

[tex]\;\;\;= \dfrac{170 \pm 97.8}{32}[/tex]

[tex]\;\;\;= 2.3\:\text{s},\;\;8.4\:\text{s},[/tex]

This means the object will reach the height of 302 ft 2.3 seconds after launch and then at 8.4 seconds after launch (on its way down).
