Mr. Fishman used to work in a warehouse in New York. He would fill up pallets of product to be shipped to retail stores around the country. He would then drive the forklift to place the heavy pallets on the industrial scale to determine the weight for the bill of lading and then he would load the pallets onto the shipping trucks. One shipment had a full pallet (10 cartons per level and 8 levels high) mixed with two different products that had the exact same size shipping carton. The different packages were clearly marked, but once they were loaded on the pallet it was almost impossible to distinguish between them. While the cartons were the same size, each carton of Product X weighed 3 pounds while each carton of Product Y weighed 5 pounds.

Required:
How many cartons of each product were on the pallet?

Answers

Answer 1

Complete question:

When the pallet was placed on the scale, the reading came back as 325 total pounds. Note that this was including the pallet itself, which weighed 35 pounds.

How many cartons of each product were on the pallet? Create two equations to represent the situation and then solve the system. Show all work. Express your final answer using a complete sentence and appropriate units

Answer:

we have 25 and 55 cartons of each product

Step-by-step explanation:

we have number of carton = 10 x 8 = 80

each level has 10, and leves are 8 high

two types of product packages,

we call them w and x

w + x = 80 ------ equation 1

w has 3 pounds weight

x has 5 pounds weight

3*w +5*x

3w + 5x

total weight = 325

we subtract weight of pallet 35

= 325 - 35 = 290

3w + 5x = 290-------- equation 2

we have two equations

w + x = 80------(1)

3w + 5x = 290-------(2)

from equation 1,

w = 80 - x

put this value above in equation 2

3(80-x) + 5x = 290

240-3x+5x = 290

240+2x = 290

2x = 290-240

2x = 50

divide through by 2

x = 25

put value of x in equation 1

w + 25 = 80

w = 80-25

w = 55

so we have 55 cartons of w and 25 cartons of product x

3/4 divided by 1/4 help can you teach me how to do it to

Answers

Answer:

3/4 divided by 1/4 = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

When we divide two fractions, such as 3/4 ÷ 1/4, we flip the second fraction and then we simply multiply the numerators with each other and the denominator with each other.

We also simplify the answers to fraction problems whenever possible.

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

=(3/4)(4/1)

kcf (keep, change, flip)

so we're keeping 3/4 the same then we're changing it from division to multiplication and fliping 1/4 to 4/1 (as shown above)

3*4=12 and 4*1=4

so our new fraction is 12/4

12/4 is an improper fraction and 12 divided by 4 is 3

good luck :)

Find the equation of the straight line passing through the point (-4,5) and perpendicular to the line y=2x+7.Suppose the equation is y=cx+d.Find c,d.

Answers

Answer:

The equation of the line is:

[tex]y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line:

The equation of a line has the following format:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

In which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Perpendicular lines:

If two lines are perpendicular, this means that the multiplication of their slopes is -1.

Perpendicular to y=2x+7

This means that:

[tex]2m = -1[/tex]

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

So

[tex]y = -\frac{1}{2}x + b[/tex]

Passing through the point (-4,5)

This means that when [tex]x = -4, y = 5[/tex]. We use this to find b.

[tex]y = -\frac{1}{2}x + b[/tex]

[tex]5 = -\frac{1}{2}(-4) + b[/tex]

[tex]2 + b = 5[/tex]

[tex]b = 3[/tex]

The equation of the line is:

Find the solution(s) to the system of equations below:
3x - 5y = 3 and y = 3x2 - 4x + 1

Answers

Answer:

The solutions I found to this system of equations are (1, 0) and (⁸/₁₅, -7).  

I keep second guessing and recalculating the second point there, so I'd suggest double-checking it by going through the work yourself.  The first one checks out though.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve this by substitution, where one equation is solved for one variable and substituted in to the other.  As the latter equation is already solved for y, we can simply substitute it into the other:

given:

   y = 3x² - 4x + 1

   3x - 5y = 3

then:

  3x - 5(3x² - 4x + 1) = 3

Which we can then simplify and solve:

3x - 15x² + 20x - 5 = 3

-3x + 15x² - 20x + 5 = -3

15x² - 23x = -8

Now we can find find the solution by completing the square:

15(15x² - 23x) = 15(-8)

225x² - 345x = -120

225x² - 345x  + (23/2)² = -120 + (23/2)²

225x² - 345x  + 529/4 = -120 + 529/4

(15x - 11.5)² = -120 + 132.25

(15x - 11.5)² = 12.25

15x - 11.5 = ± √12.25

15x - 11.5 = ± 3.5

15x = 11.5 ± 3.5

x = (11.5 ± 3.5) / 15

x = 15 / 15, and 8 / 15

x = 1, and 0.5333...

Now that we have x, we can solve for y.

given: 3x - 5y = 3

for x = 1:

3 - 5y = 3

y = 0

for x = ⁸/₁₅:

3(⁸/₁₅) - 5y = 3

5y = 3(⁸/₁₅) - 3

5y = ²⁴/₁₅ - ⁴⁵/₁₅

5y = -²¹/₁₅

y = -²¹/₃

y = -7

So the solutions to this system of equations are (1, 0) and (⁸/₁₅, -7).

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability for the given case is ⁰C₈(0.8)⁸(0.3)². The correct option is (c).

How to find probability using binomial distribution?

The binomial distribution is based on the binomial theorem which can be written as (a + b)ⁿ = ⁿC₀aⁿb⁰ + ⁿC₁aⁿ⁻¹b¹ + ⁿC₂aⁿ⁻²b²+ ....+ ⁿCₙa₀bⁿ.

In order to use in the probability, there should be events independent of each other and the sum of there probabilities is 1.

Given that,

The probability of making free-throw is 70% = 70/100 = 0.7

Then, the probability of not making free-throw is 1 - 0.7 = 0.3.

The exact 8 free-throws out of 10 implies that there will be 2 throws that are not free.

So, this case belongs to the binomial distribution which can be written as,

ⁿCₓpˣqⁿ⁻ˣ, where p is the probability of success and q is the probability of failure, n is the total number of trials and x is the number of favorable trials.

Now, in order to find the probability of exact 8 free-throws out of 10 can be found using binomial distribution as follows,

P (exact 8 throws) = ¹⁰C₈(0.8)⁸(0.3)²

Hence, the probability of getting exact 8 free-throws out of 10 is  ¹⁰C₈(0.8)⁸(0.3)².
