How many ounces of a 28% alcohol solution and a 40% alcohol solution must be combined to obtain 51 ounces of a 32% solution?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of ounces of 28% alcohol = x = 34 ounces

Number of ounces of 40% alcohol = y = 17 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent the

Number of ounces of 28% alcohol = x

Number of ounces of 40% alcohol = y

Our system of equations =

x + y = 51 ..... Equation 1

x = 51 - y

28% × x + 40% × y = 32% × 51

0.28x + 0.4y = 16.32......Equation 2

We substitute 51 - y for x

0.28(51 - y) + 0.4y = 16.32

14.28 - 0.28y + 0.4y = 16.32

- 0.28y + 0.4y = 16.32 - 14.28

0.12y = 2.04

y = 2.04/0.12

y = 17

Solving for x

x = 51 - y

x = 51 - 17

x = 34

Therefore,

Number of ounces of 28% alcohol = x = 34 ounces

Number of ounces of 40% alcohol = y = 17 ounces

What is the slope of the line?

Answers

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

slope, m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

plug in the values, and we get m = (3 - (-1))/((3 - 2) = 4

As x increases by 1, y increases by 4.

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line characterizes the direction of a line. To find the slope, you divide the difference of the y-coordinates of 2 points on a line by the difference of the x-coordinates of those same 2 points.

???????????????????????????

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 1, 8) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table

m = [tex]\frac{8-6}{-1-1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{-2}[/tex] = - 1 , then

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute any ordered pair from the table into the partial equation

Using (1, 6 ) , then

6 = - 1 + c ⇒ c = 6 + 1 = 7

y = - x + 7 → B

A circle with radius 12 cm has a segment with a central angle of 60. What is the area of the segment?​

Answers

Answer:

Exact Area = 24pi square cm

Approximate Area = 75.36 square cm  (when using pi = 3.14)

Note: "square cm" can be abbreviated to "cm^2" without quotes.

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

Explanation:

Let's find the area of the full circle with radius r = 12

A = pi*r^2

A = pi*12^2

A = 144pi  

This is the exact area of the full circle in terms of pi. To get the approximate area, you would replace pi with something like 3.14 (though you could use more decimal digits in pi to get a more accurate area).

We found the area of the full circle, but we only want a pie slice of it. Each slice is 60 degrees, out of 360 total. So that means we want 60/360 = 1/6 of the full area.

In other words, there are 6 slices because 360/60 = 6, which means we'll divide the area we got by 6

(144pi)/6 = (144/6)pi = 24pi

The exact area of the pie slice is 24pi square cm

If you used the approximation pi = 3.14, then that leads to an approximate answer of 24*pi = 24*3.14 = 75.36 square cm

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Add each sample separately

A.17   B. 47   C. 39 D. 52 E. 45

Then you add them all together which totals 200 sick days

We know that they surveyed 5 schools and 10 students at random from each one. So we want to know the mean of sick days the students took not the schools in all.

So we divide 200/50

And get a mean of 4.

So each student took an average of 4 sick days each in the country.

Answer:

  WV = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The hash marks indicate the corresponding lines are the same length. That is, W is the midpoint of YZ, because YW ≅ WZ. Similarly, V is the midpoint of XY, because XV ≅ VY.

Using this information, it can be shown that ∆YWV ~ ∆YZX. This means corresponding sides have the same ratio.

Because YW is half of YZ, WV is half of ZX.

  YW/YZ = 1/2 = WV/ZX = WV/12

Multiplying by 12 gives the value of WV:

  WV = 12(1/2)

  WV = 6

n = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of linear equations has no solution when the lines are parallel. It means the lines have same slope but different y-intercepts.

the graph of h(x)=-x^2+4x+4​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the coefficients of this quadratic are -1, 4 and 4, and so the discriminant b^2 - 4ac works out to 16 - 4(-1)(4), or 0.  Thus this graph has two real, equal roots which are the same point on the graph, the vertex, the maximum of the function.

Letting x = 0, we find that y is 4.  Thus, the y-intercept is (0, 4).  Plot this.

Using the formula x = -b / [2a], we find the axis of symmetry:

   x = -4 / [2*(-1)] = -4 / [-2] = +2

The axis of symmetry is the vertical line x = 2.  

At x = 2, y = -(2)^2 + 4(2) + 4, OR -4 + 8 + 4, or 0.

The vertex and maximum value are (2, 0).  The graph touches the x-axis in only one place.

Draw the axis of symmetry x = 2.  Plot the vertex (2, 0) and the y-intercept.  Reflect the y-intercept about the axis of symmetry to obtain a second point on the graph at the same y-value as (0, 4).

0*.5+2*.2+4*.15+6*.1+10*.05= 2.1

The expected value of the winnings from a game is 2.1.

What is expected value?

Expected value is used when we want to calculate the mean of a probability distribution. The weighted average of possible values of a random variable, with weights given by their respective theoretical probabilities, is known as the expected value.

For the given situation,

Payouts, x = 0, 2, 4, 6, 10

Probabilities, P(x) = 0.5, 0.2, 0.15, 0.1, 0.05

The formula of expected value is [tex]E ( X ) = \mu = \sum [xP( x )][/tex]

⇒ [tex]E(X)=(0)(0.5)+(2)(0.2)+(4)(0.15)+(6)(0.1)+(10)(0.05)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]E(X)=0+0.4+0.6+0.6+0.5[/tex]

⇒ [tex]E(X)=2.1[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the expected value of the winnings from a game is 2.1.

Find the exact value of sin 0 if cos 0=-2/3 and 90º < 0 < 180°

Answers

Answer:

sin (theta) = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{5} }{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

cos = adjacent side/hypotenuse

Then, in a right triangle the adjacent = 2 and the hypotenuse = 3

By the Pythagorean theorem, 3^2 = 2^2 + opposite side^2

9 - 4 = 5

opposite side = [tex]\sqrt{5}\\[/tex]

sin (theta) = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{5} }{3}[/tex]

An easier way is to find sin(arccos (-2/3) = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{5} }{3}[/tex]

Note:  Remember that the sin is positive in the 2nd quadrant.
