question A Sailor is making a ship in a bottle. The last thing he needs to do is seal the bottle with a cork stopper. He tries a 3/4 inch cork stopper, but it is too small. Should he try a 1/2 cork stopper or a 4/5 inch cork stopper next? Explain

Answers

Answer 1

Proportionately, since a 3/4 inch cork stopper is too small for sealing the bottle, the Sailor should next try a 4/5 inch cork stopper, and not a 1/2 inch cork stopper.

What is the proportion?

Proportion refers to the ratio or relative value between two values.

Proportions are fractional values.

And like ratios, proportions can be expressed as fractions, decimals, or percentages.

What are the relative sizes of these cork stoppers?

To determine the relative sizes of these cork stoppers, we can express them in percentages or decimals and other fractions.

3/4 equals 75%, 7.5/10, 75/100, or 0.75.

1/2 equals 50%, 5/10, 50/100, or 0.50.

4/5 equals 80%, 8/10, or 80/100, or 0.80

Thus, with the proportionate sizes of these cork stoppers, the Sailor should try using the biggest plug, which ultimately has size 4/5.

Factory XYZ has already produced 280 units today. The factory produces 92 units per hour. Today's goal is to produce at least
1,108 units. If x represents the number of production hours, which of the following inequalities symbolizes this situation?

Answers

The inequlity according to the given statement will be equal to 280 + 92(x) ≥ 1,108.

What is inequality?

Inequalities are mathematical expressions where neither side is equal. In inequality, as opposed to equations, we compare the two values. Less than (or less than and equal to), larger than (or greater or equal to), or not similar to signs are used in place of the equal sign in between.

As per the given information in the question,

Rate of production per hour by the factory = 92 per hour

The factory has to produce at least 1,108 units.

Number of units produced today = 280

Assume x is the number of production hours,

Then, the equation will be,

280 + 92(x) ≥ 1,108 units.

What is parallel lines?

Parallel lines are coplanar, straight lines in geometry that don't cross at any point. When two planes in the same three-dimensional space are parallel, they never cross. Curves that maintain a set minimum distance from one another and do not touch or intersect are said to be parallel curves.

(8) Given: m || n

We have to find the value of x that makes m || n.

The lines m and n are divides by the line l of angle 90 degree.

⇒ 16x - 6 = 90

Add 6 on both sides,

16x - 6 = 90 + 6

16x = 96

Divide both sides by 16

16x/16 = 96/16

Is the system of equations consistent and independent, consistent and dependent, or inconsistent?

y=−3x+12y=−6x+2

Select the correct answer from the drop-down menu.


consistent and independent

Answers

The system of equation is consistent and independent because it has one unique solution.

How to solve system of equation?

If a system has at least one solution, it is said to be consistent . If a consistent system has exactly one solution, it is independent.

Therefore, let's solve the equation,

y = -3x + 12

y = -6x + 2

Using substitution,

-6x + 2 = -3x + 12

-6x + 3x  = 12 - 2

-3x = 10

x = - 10 / 3

y = -6(-10 / 3) + 2

y = 60 / 3 + 2

y = 20 + 2

y = 2

Therefore, the system of equation is consistent and independent.

Function f is an exponential function
By what factor does the output value increase as each input value increases by 1?

Answers

Answer:

  4

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given a table of function values in which x increases by 2, and you want to know the factor by which f(x) increases when x increases by 1.

Factor

Let k represent the factor by which f(x) increases when x increases by 1. This means ...

  f(2) = k·f(1)

  f(3) = k·f(2) = k·(k·f(1)) = k²·f(1)

  64 = k²·4

  k² = 64/4 = 16

  k = √16 = 4

The output value increases by a factor of 4 as the input value increases by 1.

__

Additional comment

The table values would also be obtained if the factor of increase were -4. That is, f(x) = -(-4)^x would give the same table. In that case, f(x) would not be a continuous function.

{P1, P3, P4} (weight: 31)                   {P1, P3} (weight: 30)    

What is the distribution?

The mathematical expression known as a distribution function expresses the likelihood that a system would adopt a certain value or range of values. The traditional examples include games of chance.

The voting system tells us that the quota is 30, that Player 1 has 17 votes (or equivalently, has a weight of 17), Player 2 has 15 votes, Player 3 has 13 votes, and Player 4 has 1 votes.

A coalition is any group of one or more players. What we're looking for is winning coalitions - coalitions whose combined votes (weights) add to up to the quota or more. So the coalition  {P3, P4}  is not a winning coalition because the combined weight is  13 + 1 = 14, which is below the quota.

So we look at each possible combination of players and identify the winning ones:

{P1, P2}( weight :32)                       {P1, P2, P4} (weight: 31)

{P1, P2, P3} (weight: 45)                 {P1, P2, P3, P4} (weight: 46)

{P1, P3, P4} (weight: 31)                   {P1, P3} (weight: 30)

Stanley runs, swims, and bikes every day. During these workouts, he runs at 9 mph, bikes at 16 mph, and swims at 2.5 mph. Yesterday, he ran for half an hour longer than he swam, and his biking time was twice his running time. How long did Stanley run, swim, and bike yesterday if the total distance he covered was 64 miles?
what distance did stanley swim run and bike
PLEASE HELP

Answers

The time  did Stanley run, swim, and bike yesterday if the total distance he covered was 64 miles is 1.5 hrs, 1 hrs, 3 hrs. The distance is 13.5 miles, 2.5 miles , 48 miles.

How to find the distance and time?

Let t represent the  time he ran

Let t -.5 represent  time he swam

Let 2t represent the  biking time

Hence,

9t + 2.5(t-.5) + 16(2t) = 64

9t + 2.5t - 1.25 + 32t = 64

Collect like terms

43.5t = 64 + 1.25

Divide both side by 43.5t

t = 65.25/43.5

t = 1.5 hrs (Time he ran)

So,

Time he swam

t -.5 where t is 1.5 hrs

1.5-.5 = 1 hr (Time he swam)

Biking time

2t where t is 1.5 hrs

2(1.5) = 3 hrs (biking time)

Distance of each

1.5(9) = 13.5 miles  (running)

1(2.5) = 2.5 miles   (swimming)

3(16) = 48 miles  (biking)

Total distance = 13.5 miles + 2.5 miles + 48 miles

Total distance = 64 miles

Therefore the time  is 1.5 hrs, 1 hrs, 3 hrs and the distance is 13.5 miles, 2.5 miles , 48 miles.

How deep is the water in the pool where a guest lands in the water 36 inches from the wall?
A. Y=74.4 in
B. Y=38.4 in
C. Y=45.6 in
D. Y=60 in

Answers

Answer:

C. y = 45.6 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

[tex]y=\dfrac{2}{5}x-60[/tex]

where:

y is the depth of the water (in inches).x is the distance a guest lands away from the far wall (in inches).

If a guest lands 36 inches from the wall, then x = 36.

Substitute x = 36 into the equation:

[tex]\implies y=\dfrac{2}{5}(36)-60[/tex]

[tex]\implies y=\dfrac{2 \cdot 36}{5}-60[/tex]

[tex]\implies y=\dfrac{72}{5}-60[/tex]

[tex]\implies y=14.4-60[/tex]

[tex]\implies y=-45.6[/tex]

Therefore, the depth of the water is 45.6 inches (since -45.6 inches means it is that distance below the surface).

Jack bought a tree to plant in his front yard. The tree grows at an approximate rate of 9 inches per year. After 4 years, the tree is 5 feet tall. Write an equation in slope-intercept form to find the height (in feet) of the tree, y, after x years. Then, find the number of years it will take the tree to reach 20 feet

Answers

The equation in slope-intercept form to find the height is y = 0.75x + 5 and the number of years it will take the tree to reach 20 feet is 24

The linear equation to find the height (in feet) of the tree

The given parameters in the question are

Growth = 9 inches per year

Length of the tree after 4 years = 5 feet

Convert inches to feet

So, we have

Growth = 0.75 feet per year

A linear equation of this scenario is represented as

Length = Growth * Number of years + Initial length

So, we have

y = Growth * x + Initial length

This gives

5 = 0.75 * 4 + Initial length

Evaluate

Initial length = 2

So, the equation is

y = 0.75x + 2

The number of years it will take the tree to reach 20 feet

This means that

y = 20

Recall that

y = 0.75x + 2

So, we have

0.75x + 2 = 20

Evaluate

0.75x = 18

Divide by 0.75

x = 24

Hence, the number of years is 24
