Box A contained 40 paperclips. Box B contained 23 paperclips. After Sally took an equal number of paperclips from each box, Box A then contained twice as many paperclips as Box B. How many paperclips did Sally take from each box?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of clips in box A = 40

Number of clips in box B = 23

If Sally took out 6 clips from each box

Remaining clips in box A = 40 - 6 = 34 which is twice of 17

Remaining clips in box B = 23 - 6 = 17

Answer 2

Answer:

Sally took 6 paperclips from each box

Step-by-step explanation:

Paper clips in Box A = 40

Paper clips in Box B  = 23

Let the equal number paperclips removed from each box = x

Number of clips in box A after taking 'x' clips = 40 -x

Number of clips in box B after taking 'x' clips = 23 -x

40 - x = 2*(23 -x)

40 - x = 2*23 - 2*x

40 -x = 46 - 2x  {Add 2x to both sides}

40 - x + 2x = 46          {Combine like terms}

40 + x = 46         {Subtract 40 form both sides }

x = 46 - 40

x = 6

Sally took 6 paperclips from each box

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

These are all Law of Cosine problems. A generic expression for the length of side 'c' opposite angle C, which is defined by sides 'a' and 'b' is ...

  c² = a² +b² -2ab·cos(C)

The square root of this gives the side length:

  c = √(a² +b² -2ab·cos(C))

Rearranging the equation, we can obtain an expression for the angle C.

  C = arccos((a² +b² -c²)/(2ab))

These two formulas are used to solve the offered problems.

__

1) AC = √(13² +14² -2·13·14·cos(109°)) ≈ √483.506

  AC ≈ 22.0

__

2) BC = √(7² +10² -2·7·10·cos(123°)) ≈ √225.249

  BC ≈ 15.0

__

3) ∠B = arccos((24² +28² -14²)/(2·24·28)) = arccos(1164/1344)

  ∠B ≈ 30.0°

__

4) ∠B = arccos((6² +9² -14²)/(2·6·9)) = arccos(-79/108)

  ∠B ≈ 137.0°

Answers

Answer:

71 is 10% of 710

52 is 97% of 5200/97

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s start with 71 is 10% of what number.

basically, what this is saying, is that 71 = 10% times and unknown valu. We can set this as x.

so, 71=0.1x

divide on both sides,

710=x

now the second one.

repeat the same process.

52=0.97x

7.2.8 Scientists at the Hopkins Memorial Forest in western Mas- sachusetts have been collecting meteorological and environmen- tal data in the forest data for more than 100 years. In the past few years, sulfate content in water samples from Birch Brook has averaged 7.48 mg/L with a standard deviation of 1.60 mg/L. a. What is the standard error of the sulfate in a collection of 10 water samples

Answers

Answer:

The standard error of the sulfate in a collection of 10 water samples is of 0.506 mg/L.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard error [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Standard deviation of 1.60 mg/L.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 1.6[/tex]

Collection of 10 samples:

This means that [tex]n = 10, s = \frac{1.6}{\sqrt{10}} = 0.506[/tex]

The standard error of the sulfate in a collection of 10 water samples is of 0.506 mg/L.

Find the p-value for a two-tailed test of hypothesis.

Answers

Answer:

The p-value for a two-tailed test of hypothesis is 0.0164.

Step-by-step explanation:

The test statistic is 2.4. Find the p-value for a two-tailed test of hypothesis.

This means that we look at the z-table, and we have to find:

[tex]P(|Z| > 2.4)[/tex]

Which is the pvalue of Z = -2.4 multiplied by 2, or 2 multiplied by 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z = 2.4.

Looking at the z-table, z = 2.4 has a pvalue of 0.9918

1 - 0.9918 = 0.0082

2*0.0082 = 0.0164

The p-value for a two-tailed test of hypothesis is 0.0164.

7/18-2/9

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7/18-2/9=7/18-4/18=3/18=1/6

Answer:

1/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

7/18−2/9=?

The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.

LCD(7/18, 2/9) = 18

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.

(7/18×11)−(2/9×22)=?

Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes

7/18−4/18=?

The two fractions now have like denominators so you can subtract the numerators.

Then:

7−4/18=3/18

This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 3 and 18 using

GCF(3,18) = 3

3÷3/18÷3=1/6

Therefore:

7/18−2/9=1/6

a. How many selected traveling as their favorite hobby?

Answers

Answer:

180 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Total of people surveyed = 1,000

% of people that selected travelling as their favorite hobby = 18 %

Number of people that selected travelling = % that selected travelling of 1,000

= 18% of 1,000

= 18/100 × 1,000

= 180 people

Therefore, 180 people selected travelling as their favorite hobby.

On a certain hot summer's day, 321 people used the public swimming pool. The daily prices are $1.75 for children and $2.00 for adults. The receipts for admission totaled $634.25. How many children and how many adults swam at the public pool that day?​

Answers

Answer:

31 children and 290 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = number of adults and c = number of children.

a + c = 321

2a + 1.75c = 634.25

Multiply both sides of the the first equation by -2 and add it to the second equation.

         -2a -     2c = -642

(+)       2a + 1.75c = 634.25

--------------------------------------

                 -0.25c = -7.75

Divide both sides by -0.25

c = 31

Use the first equation to find a.

a + c = 321

Substitute 31 for c.

a + 31 = 321

Subtract 31 from both sides.

a = 290

Answer: 31 children and 290 adults

120 children and 388 adults bought tickets for the swimming pool
Explanation:
Create two simultanous equations:
Let c stand for the number of children that bought a ticket, and a stand for the number of adults that bought a ticket, you get your first equation, being
c
+
a
=
508
then, you now create a second equation for the prices of the tickets.
(price of childrens tickets)(number of children that swam)+(price of adults tickets)(number of adults that swam) = total money collected
so:
1.75
c
+
2.25
a
=
1083.00

now we still know, that
a
=
508

c

so we can substitute it into the second formula
1.75
c
+
2.25
(
508

c
)
=
1083

now its just simple algebra
1.75
c
+
1143

2.25
c
=
1083

60
=
0.5
c
so:
c
=
120
now we know, that 120 children went to the swimming pool.
and we still have the formula from before:
a
=
508

c
so
a
=
388
