A survey found that 6 out of 8 students own a pet. If there are 320 students in a school, what is a reasonable prediction for the number of students who own a pet?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: 240 students

Explanation:

320 ÷ 8 = 40 (40 groups of 8)

40 x 6 = 240
Answer 2

Answer:

Reasonable prediction = 240 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

6 out of every 8 students own a pet.

Ratio = 6 : 8

Number of students surveyed = 320

Predicted number of students who own pets = x

Ratio = x : 320

As the relationship is proportional;

6 : 8 :: x : 320

Product of mean = Product of extreme

8x = 320 * 6

8x = 1920

Dividing both sides by 8

[tex]\frac{8x}{8}=\frac{1920}{8}\\x=240[/tex]

Hence,

Reasonable prediction = 240 students

The aquarium has a scale model of a great white shark for sale in their gift shop. If the scale of the model is 2 in. : 7 ft, what is the actual length of the shark if the shark is 4in?

Answers

Answer:

14ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the scale is 2in : 7ft, so you would do 7x2 which gets you to 14.

(You would do 7x2 because 4 in/2 in = 2in, that's where the 2 comes from, and 7 because 7ft is part of the scale.)

Hope this helps :D

Simplify-2(4x-6)+3(8x+2)

Answers

Answer:

-8x +12 + 24x +6 = 0

16x + 18 =0

16x = -18

x = - 18/16 = - 1.125

-8x+12 + 24x+6
Which then simplifies to:

Daniel's age is 15% of
Sarah's. Luke's age is 75% of
Sarah's and 300% of Daniel's.
When they added their ages,
the total was 141. How old is
Rachel?

Answers

Answer:

27 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Full question isDaniel's age is 15% of Sara's. Luke's age is 75% of Sara's and Rachel's is 300% of Daniel's. When they added their ages, the total was 141. How old is Rachel? Solution

Daniel = d, Sara = s, Luke = l, Rachel = r

We get below relations:

d = 0.15sl = 0.75sr = 3d ⇒ r = 3*0.15s  ⇒ r = 0.45s

Sum of ages:

d + s + l + r = 141

Substitute and solve for s:

0.15s + s + 0.75s + 0.45s = 1412.35s = 141s = 141/2.35s = 60

Rachel's age is:

r = 0.45*60 = 27

-3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Flip the equation so it's 0 - 3.5 which would give you -3.5

Answer:

- 3 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Any number combined with it's opposite will make zero. The opposite of a number is the same number with it's sign flipped. For example, the opposite of 5 is -5, and the opposite of -3 is 3. If I combine any number, for example 10, with it's opposite, in this case -10, it will make zero. (10 - 10 = 0.) Hope this helps!

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (7,-8) and (2, -8).
Put your answer in fully reduced point-slope form, unless it is a vertical or horizontal
line.

Answers

Answer:

The equation of the line that passes through the points (7,-8) and (2, -8) is [tex]\mathbf{y=-8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write the equation of the line that passes through the points (7,-8) and (2, -8).

We need to write answer in fully reduced point-slope form, unless it is a vertical or horizontal  line.

The general equation of point-slope form is: [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

where m is slope of the line.

To find the slope, we can use formula: [tex]Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

We have [tex]x_1=7,y_1=-8,x_2=2, y_2=-8[/tex]

Putting values and finding slope:

[tex]Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\Slope=\frac{-8-(-8)}{2-7}\\Slope=\frac{-8+8}{-5}\\Slope=\frac{0}{-5}\\Slope=0[/tex]

So, we find the slope : m = 0

Now, using the point (7,-8) and slope m =0, the required equation is:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\y-(-8)=0(x-7)\\y+8=0\\y=-8[/tex]

So, the equation of the line that passes through the points (7,-8) and (2, -8) is [tex]\mathbf{y=-8}[/tex]

Dilation does not change angles or directions. Every image point X' lies on the line containing the center of dilation and the pre-image point X. If the scale factor is other than 1, no image segment will be congruent to its pre-image segment. So, the following are true:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A pizza shop sells three sizes of pizza, and they track how often each size gets ordered along with how much they profit from each size. Let X represent the shop's profit on a randomly selected pizza. Here's the probability distribution of XXX along with summary statistics:

Small Medium Large
X= Profit($) 4 8 12
P(X) 0.18 0.50 0.32
Mean μx= $8.56
Standard Deviation σx ≈ 2.77

The company is going to run a promotion where customers get $2 off any size pizza. Assume that the promotion will not change the probability that corresponds to each size. Let Y represent their profit on a randomly selected pizza with this promotion. What are the mean and standard deviation of Y?

Answers

Answer:

μy = $6.56 ; σy = 2.77

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

Mean μx= $8.56

Standard Deviation σx ≈ 2.77

Profit, Y on pizza with current promo :

Price off on pizza = $2

Y = x - 2

μx = E(x) = $8.56

μy = μ(x - 2)

μy = μx - $2

μy = $8.56 - $2

μy = $6.56

For the standard deviation of y

σx ≈ 2.77

σy = σ(x - 2)

σy = σx - 2

Constants are treated as 0 for standard deviation

σy = 2.77

A rectangle has a length that is three times the width . The perimeter of the rectangle is 40 feet.what is the area of the rectangle

Answers

Answer:

The area is 15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

So you are going to need two different equations-

l = w(3)

2l + 2w = 40

Insert the first equation into the second-

2(3w) + 2w = 40

Simplify this equation-

6w + 2w = 40

8w = 40

Divide both sides by 5

w = 5

Solve first equation

l = 5(3)

l = 15

Then find the area-

5 x 15 = 75

Jane drove 693 miles in 11 hours.
At the same rate, how long would it take her to drive 411 miles?

Answers

Answer:

approx. 6.523809523809524 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first find how long it takes Jane to drive 1 mile.

11/693 = approx. 0.015873015873016 hours to drive one mile.

She drives 411 miles, so we can multiply that by 411:

0.015873015873016 * 411 = approx. 6.523809523809524 hours

I hope this helps! :)

Answer:

6.52 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

693 miles divided by 11 hours = 63 miles per hour.

411 miles divided by 63 miles = 6.52380952 miles

Round to 2 decimal places: 6.52 hours

Suppose that a chemist is mixing two acid​ solutions, one of 15​% concentration and the other of 25​% concentration. Which of the following concentrations could not be​ obtained?

Choose the correct answer below.

Answers

Answer: d. 29%

Step-by-step explanation:

The mixture of the two concentrations should equal a concentration that is between the concentration percentages of the two solutions.

This is because the lower concentration percentage will pull the higher one down while the higher concentration will pull the lower one up. It will not be possible to get a mixture concentration that is lower than the lower concentrated acid or higher than the higher concentration acid.

Mixture concentration must be between 15% and 25%.

Option D at 29% is therefore not possible.
