The Mean Age Of A Herd Of Cows Is 7.9 Years. A Cow That Is 0.5 Years Old Isadded To The Herd. How Does

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The new mean will be less than 7.9 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is the same thing as the average.  Because 0.5 is less than 7.9, the average will also decrease.

Hope it helps <3

Answer 2

Answer:

Hey there!

The new mean will be less than 7.9 years of age.

The mean is the average, thus if you add something below the average, the entire mean will decrease, and if you add something above the average, then vice versa.

Hope this helps :)

A total of $5900 is invested, part at 11% simple interest and part at 7%. If the total annual return from the two investments is $ 537.00, how much is invested at each rate?


How much was invested at 11% ? $____

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5900 - x

Simple interest = Prt

Simple interest on $x = x * 0.11 * 1 = 0.11x

Simple interest on $ (5900 - x) = (5900 - x) * 0.07 * 1

                                                   = (5900 - x) * 0.07

                                                   = 5900 * 0.07 - x * 0.07

                                                   = 413 - 0.07x

Return from tow investment =  $ 537

0.11x + 413 - 0.07x = 537  

Add the like terms

0.04x + 413 = 537

Subtract 413 for both sides

0.04x = 537 - 413

0.04x = 124

x = 124 /0.04

x = 3100

y = 5900 -  3100 = 2800

x = $ 3100

y = $ 2800

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x - 4

Solve for x in the first equation.

x = 6 + y

Put x as 6 + y in the second equation and solve.

a particular dam contains approximately 1,500,000,000,000 cubic feet of water. for a week long spike flood, water was released at a rate of 25,900 cubic feet per second. how much water was released during the flood?
what percentage of the dam was released during the flood?​

Answers

Answer:

Total released water = 15,664,310,000 cubic feet

Total % of released water = 1.04%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Water capacity = 1,500,000,000,000 cubic feet

Total seconds in a week = 7 × 24 × 60 × 60

Per seconds release amount = 25,900 cubic feet

Computation:

Total released water = 25,900 × 7 × 24 × 60 × 60

Total released water = 15,664,310,000 cubic feet

Total % of released water = 15,664,310,000 cubic feet / 1,500,000,000,000

Total % of released water = 0.0144

Total % of released water = 1.04%

Which ratio can form a proportion with 6/9

12/8

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

6/9 divide top and bottom by 3 to get 2/3

Now reduce each of the fractions to the lowest terms, and look for one that gives 2/3.

12/8 = 3/2  (divide by 4 top and bottom)

8/12 = 2/3  (divide by 4 top and bottom)  This is a solution

10/12 = 5/6 (divide by 2 top and bottom)

8/13 (cannot be reduced)

Therefore the second fraction (8/12) forms a proportion with 6/9.

Answer:

Answers

Answer:

there were 22 folders originally

Michaela originally has 27 folders. Hence option D) is correct.

Michaela has three times  as many folders as Alejandro.
Michaela gives Alejandro 5 folders, but still has 8 more than Alejandro.

What is arithmetic?

In mathematics it deals with numbers of operations according to the statements.

Now, let Alejandro has x folders corresponding Michaela has 3x folders
According to the condition
3x-5 =  x+5+8

2x = 18
x = 9
now
Michaela = 3x

Diego paid $47 for 3 tickets to a concert. Andre paid $141 for 9 tickets to a concert. Did they pay at the same rate?

Answers

Answer:

They did pay at the same rate

Step-by-step explanation:

when dividing 47 by 3 you get 15.666... and when dividing 141 by 9 you also get 15.666... using this you can deduce that it is the same rate.

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios for this:

Diego:

47:3 tickets

Divide both sides by 3 so you get the price of one ticket

15.67: 1 ticket

Andre:

141: 9 tickets

Divide both sides by 9 so you get the price of one ticket

(5.3a−0.8)−(1.6−4.7a)=2a−(a−0.3)

Answers

Answer: a = 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute(-1)

5.3a-0.8-1.6+4.7a=2a-(a-0.3)

Then, distribute(-1)

5.3a-0.8-1.6+4.7a=2a-a+0.3

Then, combine like terms

10a-2.4=a+0.3

Then, add(2.4)

10a=a+2.7

Then, subtract(a)

9a=2.7

Then, divide(9)

a = 0.3

Hope it helps <3

Answer:

a = 0.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

(5.3a−0.8)−(1.6−4.7a)=2a−(a−0.3)

5.3a − 0.8 − 1.6 + 4.7a = 2a − a + 0.3

5.3a + 4.7a - 2a + a =  0.3 + 0.8 + 1.6

a = 0.3.

Ama's age is two thirds that of her elder sister. Four years ago ama's age was half the sister's. How old is the sister?

Answers

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Ama's sister is 12 now and Ama is 8. 8/12 simplified is 2/3.

Four years ago Ama's would have been 4 and her sister would have been 8. 4/8 simplified is 1/2.

The equations:

(Ama is a)

(Ama's sister is s)

a = (2/3)s

a - 4 = (1/2)(s - 4)

Step one:

You would substitute the first equation into the second equation to get

(2/3)s - 4 = (1/2)(s - 4)

Step two:

Multiply by 6 to get rid of the fractions to get

4s - 24 = 3(s - 4)

Step three:

Simplify to get

4s - 24 = 3s - 12

Step four:

Subtract 3s and add 24 to get

s = 12

Step five:

Input the s value into the first equation to get

a = (2/3)(12) = 8

The face of the triangular concrete panel shown has an area of 22 square meters, and its base is 3 meters longer than twice its height. Find the length of the base.

Answers

Answer:

The length of the base is 11 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the triangle is not shown; However, the given details are enough to solve this question.

Given

Shape: Triangle

Represent the height with h and the base with b

[tex]b = 3 + 2h[/tex]

[tex]Area = 22[/tex]

Required

Find the length of the base

The area of a triangle is calculated as thus;

[tex]Area = \frac{1}{2} * b * h[/tex]

Substitute 22 for Area and 3 + 2h for b

The formula becomes

[tex]22 = \frac{1}{2} * (3 + 2h) * h[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 2

[tex]2 * 22 = 2 * \frac{1}{2} * (3 + 2h) * h[/tex]

[tex]44 = (3 + 2h) * h[/tex]

Open the bracket

[tex]44 = 3 * h + 2h * h[/tex]

[tex]44 = 3h + 2h^2[/tex]

Subtract 44 from both sides

[tex]44 - 44 = 3h + 2h^2 - 44[/tex]

[tex]0 = 3h + 2h^2 - 44[/tex]

Rearrange

[tex]0 = 2h^2 +3h - 44[/tex]

[tex]2h^2 +3h - 44 = 0[/tex]

At this point, we have a quadratic equation; which is solved as follows:

[tex]2h^2 +3h - 44 = 0[/tex]

[tex]2h^2 + 11h - 8h - 44 = 0[/tex]

[tex]h(2h + 11) - 4(2h + 11) = 0[/tex]

[tex](h - 4)(2h + 11) = 0[/tex]

Split the above

[tex](h - 4) = 0\ or\ (2h + 11) = 0[/tex]

[tex]h - 4 = 0\ or\ 2h + 11 = 0[/tex]

Solve the above linear equations separately

[tex]h - 4 = 0[/tex]

Add 4 to both sides

[tex]h - 4 + 4 = 0 + 4[/tex]

[tex]h = 0 + 4[/tex]

[tex]h = 4[/tex] ---- First value of h

[tex]2h + 11 = 0[/tex]

Subtract 11 from both sides

[tex]2h + 11 - 11 = 0 - 11[/tex]

[tex]2h = 0 - 11[/tex]

[tex]2h = -11[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]\frac{2h}{2} = -\frac{11}{2}[/tex]

[tex]h = -\frac{11}{2}[/tex] ------ Second value of h

Since height can be negative, we'll discard [tex]h = -\frac{11}{2}[/tex]

Hence, the usable value of height is [tex]h = 4[/tex]

Recall that [tex]b = 3 + 2h[/tex]

Substitute 4 for h

[tex]b = 3 + 2(4)[/tex]

[tex]b = 3 + 8[/tex]

[tex]b = 11[/tex]

Hence, the length of the base is 11 meters

Which function has the following characteristics? A vertical asymptote at x=-4 A horizontal asymptote at y=0 A removable discontinuity at x=1

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{2x - 2}{x^2+3x-4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached, the question is shown. The function:

[tex]\frac{2x - 2}{x^2+3x-4}[/tex]

has a horizontal asymptote at y = 0 because the degree of the nominator polynomial is less than the degree of the denominator polynomial.

The roots of x² + 3x - 4 are -4 and 1

(-4)² + 3(-4) - 4 = 01² + 3(1) - 4 = 0

Then, x² + 3x - 4 = (x + 4)(x - 1)

The function has a vertical asymptote at x = -4 because it is a root of the denominator polynomial.

The function can be simplified as follows:

[tex]\frac{2(x - 1)}{(x+4)(x-1)}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{x+4}[/tex]

Then, it has a removable discontinuity at x = 1
