A grocery store bought some mangoes at a rate of 5 for a dollar. They were separated into two stacks, one of which was sold at a rate of 3 for a dollar and the other at a rate of 6 for a dollar. What was the ratio of the number of mangoes in the two stacks if the store broke even after having sold all of its mangoes?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The ratio of the number of mangoes in the $3 stack to those in the $6 stack is 1 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of mangoes bought by the grocery store be n. Also let the number of mango sold for $3 in one stack be x and the number of mango sold for $6 in the second stack be y.

Therefore:

x + y = z                                  (1)

Also, the mangoes was sold at break even price, that is the cost of the mango and the price it was sold for was the same. Therefore:

Cost of buying = Price it was sold for

The cost of the mango = 5z and the price it was sold for = 3x + 6y

3x + 6y = 5z                            (2)

Substituting z = x + y in equation 1

3x + 6y = 5(x + y)

3x + 6y = 5x + 5y

6y - 5y = 5x - 3x

y = 2x

x / y = 1/ 2 = 1 : 2

The ratio of the number of mangoes in the $3 stack to those in the $6 stack is 1 : 2

Total cost to build

Answers

Answer:

$635

Step-by-step explanation:

$5x7 birdhouses=$35want

So, $35+$600=$635 total!

I hope this helps you!

Multiplication is the process of multiplying. The cost of building 7 birdhouses will be $635.

What is multiplication?

Multiplication is the process of multiplying, therefore, adding a number to itself for the number of times stated. For example, 3 × 4 means 3 is added to itself 4 times, and vice versa for the other number.

The cost of the birdhouse is the sum of the fixed cost, which is the setup cost of the business of $600, and the variable cost is the cost that is needed to make a single house, therefore, $5.

Now, the total cost of making n number of houses will be,

Cost of making n house = Fixed cost + variable cost

                                        = $600 + $5(n)

Further, the table can be filled using the above formula by substituting the value of n for the number of houses. Therefore,

Number of bird houses     Total cost to build

       1                                     $600+$5(1) = $605

       2                                    $600+$5(2) = $610

       3                                    $600+$5(3) = $615

       4                                    $600+$5(4) = $620

       5                                    $600+$5(5) = $625

       6                                    $600+$5(6) = $630

       7                                    $600+$5(7) = $635

Hence, the cost of building 7 birdhouses will be $635.

The specifications for the diameter of a molded part are 10 mm ± 0.5 mm. The actual average and standard deviation from 250 parts sampled is 10.1 mm and 0.1 mm, respectively. The process can be characterized as:

Answers

Answer: Capable

Step-by-step explanation: The capability of a process could be exaplained as a measure of the ability of a process to produce part within specified limits by making use of statistical measurement. In determining if a certain process is capable or not, the value of process capability (Cp) is measured, in most cases, a process is deemed capable by having a Cp value of 1.33 or higher.

Cp formula :

(Upper specification limit(USL) - Lower specification limit(LSL) ) / 6* standard deviations

Diameter = 10 mm ± 0.5 mm

Standard deviation = 0.1mm

USL = 10 + 0.5 = 10.5

LSL = 10 - 0.5 =. 9.5

Cp = (10.5 - 9.5) / 6*0.1

Cp = 1/0.6

Cp = 1.6666

Cp = 1.67

Hence, the process is capable

if the first step of the equation -x + 6 = 5 - 3x is "subtract 5" then what should the next step be

Answers

Answer:

The next step is add x to each side

Step-by-step explanation:

-x + 6 = 5 - 3x

Subtract 5 from each side

-x + 6-5 = 5-5 - 3x

-x+1 = -3x

Add x to each side

-x+1 = -3x+x

1 = -2x

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

all you need to do is solve for x right? so in that case when you subtract 5 from both sides you get -x+1=-3x

then you will add x on each side

you should now have 1=-2x

divide each side by -2 and then you will have

90 POINTS! HELP ASAP! Using one of the figures below, explain a strategy for calculating the area of the irregular polygon.

Answers

Answer:

area of polygon = 88 sq. units

Step-by-step explanation:

lets make it simple, short and accurate.

area of polygon = total area - total area of triangles

total area = 11 * 12 = 132

triangle 1 = 1/2 * 5 * 5 = 12.5

triangle 2 = 1/2 * 3 * 6 = 9

triangle 3 = 1/2 * 3 * 8 = 12

triangle 4 = 1/2 * 3 * 7 = 10.5

total area of triangle = 12.5 + 9 + 12 + 10.5 = 44

area of polygon = 132 - 44 = 88 sq. units

Answer:

The area of the irregular polygon:

88 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The irregular polygon is insert in a rectangle

The strategy is:

1 - calculate the rectangle total area

2- calculate the area of each right triangle

3.- substracte the total area of the 4 right triangles from the area of the rectángule

then:

1.-

Ar = 12*11 = 132 units²

Ar = rectangle area

2.-

At₁ = (5*5)/2 = 25/2 = 12.5 units²

At₂ = (6*3)/2 = 18/2 = 9 units²

At₃ = (7*3)/2 = 21/2 = 10.5 units²

At₄ = (8*3)/2 = 24/2 = 12 units²

At total = 12.5 + 9 + 10.5 + 12 = 44 units²

At = right triangle areas

3.-

sin theta upon 1 + cos theta + 1 + cos theta upon sin theta is equals to 2 cosec theta prove ​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll use x  instead of theta.

So we have:

sin x / ( 1 + cos x) + (1 +cos x) / sinx

The LCM is sin x(1 + cos x) so we have

sin^2 x + (1 + cos x)^2 /  sin x(1 + cos x)

= sin^2 x + cos^2x + 2 cos x + 1 /  sin x(1 + cos x)

Now sin^2x + cos^2x = 1 so:

= 2 + 2 cos x /  sin x(1 + cos x)

= 2(1+ cos x) /  sin x(1 + cos x)

The 1 + cos x is common so we have:

2 / sin x

= 2 cosec x.

In exercises 22 24 , describe how the change affects the surface area of the right prism or right cylinder .

Answers

Answer:

  22. The surface area is 1/9 of its original value

  24. The surface area is 120 m^2 less than its original value.

Step-by-step explanation:

22. For similar figures, the surface area is proportional to the square of the linear dimension scale factor. Multiplying all linear dimensions by 1/3 will result in reducing the surface area to (1/3)^2 = 1/9 of its original value.

__

24. As above, the scaled base surface area will be (1/4)^2 = 1/16 of its original value. Since one dimension of the lateral area is multiplied by 4 and the other dimension is multiplied by 1/4, the net effect on that area is multiplication by (1/4)(4) = 1. That is, the lateral area will remain unchanged.

The overall surface area will be reduced by 15/16 of the area of the bases. The area of the bases is (2)(1/2)(8 m)(16 m) = 128 m^2. The changed figure will have a surface area that is 120 m^2 smaller.
