Answer:

  A) 12 pieces

  B) the meaning of the quotient is that Tara got 12 pieces of length 2/5 ft from her 4 4/5 ft rope

Step-by-step explanation:

A) (4 4/5)/(2/5) = (24/5)/(2/5) = 24/2 = 12

  Tara can cut 12 pieces from the rope.

__

B) The quotient is the answer to the question. The meaning of it is that Tara can get 12 pieces from the rope, in answer to the question, "how many pieces can Tara cut?"

It doesn't matter whether the numbers are whole numbers, decimals, fractions, or even irrational numbers. The whole is the sum of the parts, so the number of parts is equal to the size of the whole divided by the size of a part.

Comment on the question

This sort of question seems to appear a lot in modern "common core" math materials. They tell you "x means <such and such>", and then they ask you, "What is the meaning of x?" It seems to be a reading comprehension exercise. Of course, the meaning of x is <such and such>, just as the problem statement tells you.

lim
x → ∞

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to \infty}\frac{3x^2+4.5}{x^2-1.5}=3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to evaluate the limit:

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to \infty}\frac{3x^2+4.5}{x^2-1.5}[/tex]

To do so, we can divide everything by x². So:

[tex]=\displaystyle \lim_{x\to \infty}\frac{3+4.5/x^2}{1-1.5/x^2}[/tex]

Now, we can apply direct substitution:

[tex]\Rightarrow \displaystyle \frac{3+4.5/(\infty)^2}{1-1.5/(\infty)^2}[/tex]

Any constant value over infinity tends towards 0. Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle =\frac{3+0}{1+0}=\frac{3}{1}=3[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to \infty}\frac{3x^2+4.5}{x^2-1.5}=3[/tex]

Alternatively, we can simply consider the biggest term of the numerator and the denominator. The term with the strongest influence in the numerator is 3x², and in the denominator it is x². So:

[tex]\displaystyle \Rightarrow \lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{3x^2}{x^2}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle =\lim_{x\to\infty}3=3[/tex]

The limit of a constant is simply the constant.

Carla knows that, in order to use adjectives and adverbs more effectively, she needs to understand comparison. Which concepts below can help Carla expand her knowledge?

Each degree of comparison has its own suffix
The positive degree of comparison simply modifies the word and has no suffix
The comparative degree compares two things and uses the suffix –est
The superlative degree compares three things and uses the suffix -est

Answers

Answer:

Each degree of comparison has its own suffix..

Both the adjectives and adverbs are used to make comparisons. The comparatives and superlatives are also used in writing to hedge or to boost the language. Each degree of comparison has its own suffix. The correct option is A.

What is comparative degrees?

The comparative form is used to compare two people, ideas or things. The superlative form with the word 'the' is used to compare three or more. The comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between the two objects they modify (larger, smaller, faster, higher).

The comparative form is used in the sentence where two nouns are compared. The comparative adjectives compare one person or the thing with another and enable us to say whether a person or thing has more or less of a particular quality.

One example of comparative adjective is that Josh is taller than his sister.

Thus the correct option is A.

The average weekly salary of two employees is $5250. One makes $500 more than the other. Find their salaries.

Answers

Answer: thier salaries are $5000 and $5500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the average weekly salary of one employee be =x

And that of the other employee be = x+500

Such that if thier average of their salaries= $5250

So, their total salary=  $5250 x 2=10,500

The  equation  to solve each employee salary becomes

x+x+500=10,500

2x+500=10,500

2x=10,500-500

2x=10,000

x=10,000 /2

x= first employee salary =$5000

second employee =   x+500 =$5500

Parallel to y = 2x – 5
going through (-6, 1)?

Answers

Answer:

y=2x+13

Step-by-step explanation:

Gradient of parallel lines are equal and in the equation,y=2x-5, 2 represents the gradient.

Therefore the gradient of the other line will also be 2.

Introduce another point (x,y) and then equate using the gradient as follows:

y-1/x--6=2

y-1/x+6=2

Cross multiplication;

(y-1)=2(x+6)

y-1=2x+12

y=2x+12+1

y=2x+13

A rectangle is 4 times as long as it is wide. If the area is 64 square feet, find its perimeter

Answers

Answer:

40 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

long sides are 16

short sides are 4

Perimeter is l + l + w + w

so 16 + 16 + 4 + 4

= 40

The perimeter of the given rectangle is 40 feet.

What is the perimeter of a rectangle?

The perimeter of a rectangle is defined as the sum of all the four sides of the rectangle.

The perimeter of a rectangle = 2( l + b)

It is given that rectangle is 4 times as long as it is wide. If the area is 64 square feet,

The area is 64 square feet = l x w

So,

The long sides are 16

The short sides are 4

Perimeter = 2 (l + w)

Perimeter = 2( 16  + 4)

Perimeter = 40

The box fill weight of Frosted Flakes breakfast cereal follows a normal distribution with a mean of 9.75 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.27 ounces. A sample of 25 boxes filled this morning showed a mean of 9.85 ounces. At the 0.05 significance level, can we conclude that the mean weight is more than 9.75 ounces per box

Answers

Answer:

Since the calculated value of z= 0.0185 does not lie in the critical region we conclude that  the mean weight is less and equal  to 9.75 ounces per box and accept the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the null and alternate hypothesis be

H0:  u ≤ 9.75   against the claim Ha: u > 9.75

Here

Population mean= u= 9.75

Standard deviation= 0.27 ounces

Sample mean= x`= 9.85

Significance level [tex]\alpha[/tex]= 0.05

Using z- test

z= x`-u/s/√n

z= 9.85-9.75/0.27/√25

z= 0.1/5.4

z= 0.0185

The critical region for 1 tailed test at 0.05= z > ±1.645

Since the calculated value of z= 0.0185 does not lie in the critical region we conclude that  the mean weight is less and equal  to 9.75 ounces per box and accept the null hypothesis.

Write an equation in slope and intercept form of the line (0,4) and (2,0)

Answers

Answer:

y = -2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the line between the two points. Use the slope formula [tex]m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] and substitute the x and y values of (0,4) and (2,0) into it. Then, solve:

[tex]m = \frac{(0)-(4)}{(2)-(0)} \\m =\frac{0-4}{2-0} \\m = \frac{-4}{2} \\m = -2[/tex]

So, the slope is -2.

2) Now, identify the y-intercept of the line, or the point at which the line intersects the y-axis. All points on the y-axis have an x-value of 0. We're told that the line intersects (0,4), and that point has an x-value of 0. Thus, it must be the y-intercept.  

3) With the found information, write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form, represented by the equation [tex]y = mx + b[/tex]. The [tex]m[/tex] , or the coefficient of the x-term, represents the slope. So, substitute -2 in its place. The [tex]b[/tex] represents the y-intercept of the line, so substitute 4 in its place. This gives the following answer:

[tex]y = -2x + 4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

a (Northbound train) = 33km

b (Eastbound train) = ?

c (Distance between them) = 65km

According to the Pythagorean theorem,

a² + b² = c²

33² + b² = 65²

1089 + b² = 4225

b² = 4225 - 1089

b² = 3136

b = 56km

Explain what median is and how to solve for it

Answers

The median is the middle value in the list of numbers. to find the median list your numbers from smallest to largest and find the middle!

Answer: See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Median is the value that separates the higher data and lower data. In simple terms, it is the "middle" value of the whole set of data. There are two different ways to solve for the median.

1. If the data set has an odd number of values, line the values up in increasing order. Then the value or number that lies in the middle will be the median.

For example, if we are given a data set {1, 3, 4, 2, 5}. First, we line them up by increasing order, which becomes {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}. Since it is an odd number set, we can directly get the median which is 3.

2. If the data set has an even number of values, line the values up in increasing order. Then there will be two number that lies in the "middle" together. We add them up and divide them by 2. The average of the two numbers will be the median of the set.

For example, if we are given a data set {2, 6, 4, 10, 8, 12}. First, we line them up by increasing order, which becomes {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12}. Since it is an even number set, we get our median from the two numbers in the middle, which are {6, 8}. We add them together to get 14 and then divide by 2 which is 7. So the median will be 7.

Hope this helps!! :)

Find the equation of the line which passes through (0, 7) at a gradient of 3.

Answers

Answer:

y = 3x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, line is passing through the point (0, 7). It's x-coordinate is 0 and y-coordinate is 7

So, y-intercept (b) = 7

Gradient (or slope m) = 3

Equation of line in slope intercept form is given as:

y = mx + b

Plugging m = 3 and b = 7 in the above equation, we find:

y = 3x + 7

This is the required equation of line.
