Fifteen dozen eggs were needed for baking four wedding cakes. The first cake
needed one dozen eggs, and each successive cake needed twice as many eggs as the
previous cake. How many eggs were used to make the fourth cake?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

96 eggs

Step-by-step explanation:

A dozen is equal to 12 eggs, so 15 dozen is equal to 180 eggs

(Because 15*12 = 180)

We already know how many eggs are required for the 1st cake: 12 eggs.

Then it says "each successive cake needs twice as many eggs as the previos cake".

(Successive means the cake directly after the previous cake)

Here's how we find the number of eggs needed for the 2nd cake:

The 1st cake needed 12 eggs, and because the 2nd cake is directly after the 1st cake, we are going to need two times the amount of 12 eggs.

This equation represents the above scenario:

12*2 = 24

So we need 24 eggs for the 2nd cake.

Now we repeat this process for the 3rd cake, finding twice the amount of eggs from the 2nd cake to find the amount of eggs needed for the 3rd cake:

24*2 = 48

And we repeat it once more for the 4th cake, using the eggs from the 3rd cake:

48*2 = 96

So here's the list of how many eggs are required for each of the cakes:

1st cake: 12

2nd cake: 24

3rd cake: 48

4th cake: 96

If you add all the eggs from each of the cakes, you will get 180, which is the number of eggs needed for all four cakes. So our answer is correct.

Hope this helps (●'◡'●)

In the diagram, point D is the center of the medium-sized circle that passes through C and E, and it is also the center of the largest circle that passes through A and G. Each of the diameters of the small circles with centers B and F equals the radius of the medium-sized circle with center D. The shaded area is what fraction of the largest circle?Single choice. ​

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the smaller circles is proportional to the square of the ratio of their diameters. The two smallest circles have diameters equal to 1/4 the diameter of the largest circle. Hence their areas are (1/4)^2 = 1/16 of that of the largest circle.

Similarly, the medium circle has a diameter half that of the largest circle, so its area is (1/2)^2 = 1/4 of the are of the largest circle.

The smaller circles subtract 2×1/16 +1/4 = 3/8 of the area of the largest circle. Then the shading is 1-3/8 = 5/8 of the area of the largest circle.

You have $1000 to invest in two different accounts. To save the money you need for college, you need to average 5.7 percent interest. If the two accounts pay 4 percent and 6 percent interest, how much should you invest in each account?
$550 in 4%, $450 in 6%
$300 in 4%, $700 in 6%
$700 in 4%, $300 in 6%
$150 in 4%, $850 in 6%

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $150 in 4%, $850 in 6%

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction that must earn the highest rate is ...

  (5.7 -4.0)/(6.0 -4.0) = 1.7/2 = 0.85

That is 0.85 × $1000 = $850 must be invested at 6%. Matches the last choice.

_____

If you let x represent the amount that must earn 6%, then the total interest earned must be ...

  x·6% +(1000 -x)·4% = 1000·5.7%

  x(6 -4) = 1000(5.7 -4) . . . . . . multiply by 100, subtract 4·1000

  x = 1000·(5.7 -4)/(6 -4) = 850 . . . . as above

How long will it take her to travel 72 miles? use the unit ratio to solve the following problem.

Answers

Answer:

It will take Noshwa 3 hours and 36 minutes to travel 72 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Noshwa is completing the bike portion of a triathlon, assuming that she travels 40 miles in 2.5 hours, to determine how long will it take her to travel 72 miles, the following calculation must be performed:

40 = 2.5

72 = X

72 x 2.5 / 50 = X

180/50 = X

3.6 = X

1 = 60

0.6 = X

0.6 x 60 = X

36 = X

Therefore, it will take Noshwa 3 hours and 36 minutes to travel 72 miles.

Hannah ran 12 laps for 8 days. How many laps did she run in total if she take a break of 1 complete day and 1 half day.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer would be - 9.75 laps (if runs 12 laps in 8 days) or 78 laps (if 12 laps each day for 8 days)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

a) Laps covered in 8 days = 12

interval = 1 and half day

total laps = ?

Solution:

To know the total laps with intervals we need to calculate the laps run each day :

= 12/8 laps per day

= 3/2 laps per day

Now multiply the daily run with days

= (3/2)*6.5              (due to 8 - 1.5 = 6,5 days)

= 9.75 laps

B) Given:

Laps covered in 8 days = 12*8 =96

interval = 1 and half day

total laps = ?

Solution:

To know the total laps with intervals we need to calculate the laps run each day :

= 96/8 laps per day

= 12laps per day

Now multiply the daily run with days

= 12*6.5              (due to 8 - 1.5 = 6,5 days)

= 78 laps

25 boxes could be stacked safely on the pallet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many boxes could you stack safely on a pallet if the pallet is 5 feet deep, five feet across, every box is 1 x 1 and the maximum safe stacking height is 5 boxes, the following calculation should be performed:

Pallet = 5 x 5 = 25 square feet

Box = 1 x 1 = 1 square foot

25/1 = 25

Therefore, 25 boxes could be stacked safely on the pallet.

I believe the answer is 7% but it says round to the nearest tenth of a percent so I am not sure if it is a decimal answer or not. Can someone help me out please?

Answers

Answer:   6.1% decrease

Note: It appears that your teacher doesn't want you to type in the percent sign, as that's already covered for you.

=========================================================

Explanation:

The salary decreased by 51500-48355 = 3145

Divide this over the initial salary to get 3145/51500 = 0.0611 which is approximate.

This converts to the percentage 6.11% and that rounds to 6.1%

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

As an alternative, you can use the formula method below

A = old value = 51500

B = new value = 48355

C = percent change when going from A to B

C = [ (B-A)/A ] * 100%

C = [ (48355-51500)/51500 ] * 100%

C = (-3145/51500)*100%

C = -0.0611*100%

C = -6.11%

C = -6.1%

The negative C value indicates a percent decrease.

The sum of -4 and the difference of 3 and 1

Answers

Answer: -2


Step 1: Write an equation

Before we are able to solve, we need to write an equation. We can do this by breaking down the equation. We are told to find the sum of -4 and the difference of another two numbers. Sum means addition, so we will add -4 to the difference of 3 and 1. Because we are adding to the difference, we will put 3 and 1 inside of parentheses, and find the difference before we add. Knowing this, we can write the equation. Let’s do this now.

-4+(3-1)

Step 2: Solve

Now that we have the equation we can solve for the answer. Let’s start by finding the difference, as indicated by the parentheses. After that, we can find the sum of that number and -4 by adding them together. We can do this now.

-4+(3-1)
-4+2
-2

This is your answer! The sum of -4 and the difference of 3 and 1 is -2. Hope this helps! Comment below for more questions.

5. In 2015, Texas led the nation in the percentage of people who lacked health insurance (21.6% of the population). It is known that, nationally, 5% of patients account for 50% of the costs of healthcare. These are the “high cost” patients Assume* that: Being a high cost patient and being uninsured are independent characteristics Insured and uninsured people become “patients” at the same rate The uninsured and high cost patients in Texas are evenly distributed across the state, and that high cost patients are evenly distributed across insured and uninsured patient populations a. What is the probability that a patient in a Texas healthcare facility will be a high cost patient who is uninsured?

Answers

Answer: 0.108

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the probability of the uninsured is 21.6% of the population, then the probability of insured will be:

= 1 - 21.6%

= 78.4%

The probability of high cost patients is 5%. Therefore, the probability that a patient in a Texas healthcare facility will be a high cost patient who is uninsured will be:

= 5% × 21.6%

= 0.05 × 0.216

= 0.108

suppose △abc≅△xyz. what is the corresponding congruent part for each segment or angle?​

Answers

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We're given that ΔABC≅ΔXYZ

When two triangles are congruent, their corresponding parts are congruent

Because of that, it means vertex A in ΔABC is congruent to vertex X in ΔXYZ, vertex B is congruent to vertex Y, and vertex C is congruent to vertex Z

Since we don't have a picture of the triangles given, we can use the names of the triangles to find the corresponding parts

so, to find the corresponding congruent angle to <BCA:

B is the first letter in the angle, and the corresponding letter in ΔXYZ is Y.

C is the second letter in the angle, and the corresponding letter is Z.

A is the last letter in the angle, and the corresponding letter is X

so that means <YZX is congruent to <BCA

now let's do the same for <ZYX

Z is the first letter in the angle, and the corresponding letter that's in the same place in ΔABC is C

Y is the second letter in the angle, and the corresponding letter is B

X is the last letter in the angle, and the corresponding letter is A

So that means <CBA is congruent to <ZYX

Now to find corresponding sides:

We can still use the names of the triangles, ΔABC and ΔXYZ

so to find the corresponding side to AB,

in ΔABC, AB makes up the first and second letter of the name of the triangle

The corresponding side must also make up the first and second letter of the name of the triangle

in ΔXYZ, the letters X and Y make up the first and second letter

so that means XY must be corresponding to AB

finally,

we need to find the segment congruent to YZ

in ΔXYZ, YZ makes up the second and third letter of the name of the triangle

the corresponding side must also make up the second and third letter of the name of the triangle

in ΔABC,  the letters B and C make up the second and third letter in the triangle

So that means BC must be congruent to YZ

A projectile is fired from ground level with an initial velocity of 35 m/s at an angle of 35° with the horizontal. How long
will it take for the projectile to reach the ground?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will work in the y-dimension only here. What we need to remember is that acceleration in this dimension is -9.8 m/s/s and that when the projectile reaches its max height, it is here that the final velocity = 0. Another thing we have to remember is that an object reaches its max height exactly halfway through its travels. Putting all of that together, we will solve for t using the following equation.

[tex]v=v_0+at[/tex]

BUT we do not have the upwards velocity of the projectile, we only have the "blanket" velocity. Initial velocity is different in both the x and y dimension. We have formulas to find the initial velocity having been given the "blanket" (or generic) velocity and the angle of inclination. Since we are only working in the y dimension, the formula is

[tex]v_{0y}=V_0sin\theta[/tex] so solving for this initial velocity specific to the y dimension:

[tex]v_{0y}=35sin(35)[/tex] so

[tex]v_{0y}=[/tex] 2.0 × 10¹ m/s

NOW we can fill in our equation from above:

0 = 2.0 × 10¹ + (-9.8)t and

-2.0 × 10¹ = -9.8t so

t = 2.0 seconds

This is how long it takes for the projectile to reach its max height. It will then fall back down to the ground for a total time of 4.0 seconds.

A raffle has a grand prize of a European cruise valued at $10000 with a second prize of a Rocky Point vacation valued at $700. If each ticket costs $4 and 11000 tickets are sold, what are the expected winnings for a ticket buyer?

Answers

Answer:

- 3.027

Step-by-step explanation:

First price = 10000 ; second price = 700

Number of tickets sold = 11000

Ticket cost = $4

Probability that a ticket wins grand price = 1 / 11000

Probability that a ticket wins second price = 1 / 11000

X ____ 10000 _____ 700

P(x) ___ 1 / 11000 ___ 1/11000

Expected winning for a ticket buyer :

E(X) = Σx*p(x)

E(X) = (1/11000 * 10000) + (1/11000 * 700) - ticket cost

E(X) = 0.9090909 + 0.0636363 - 4

E(X) = - 3.0272728

E(X) = - 3.027

A small college has 1200 students and 80 professors. The college is planning to increase enrollment to 1450 students next year. How many new professors should be hired to keep the ratio of students to professors the same

Answers

The number of new professors needed to hire to keep the ratio of students and professors the same is 16.66  professors.

Given,

A small college has 1200 students and 80 professors.

The college is planning to increase enrollment to 1450 students next year.

We need to find how many new professors should be hired to keep the

ratio of students to professors the same.

What is meant by proportion?

If the two ratios are the same then we called it that they are in proportion.

Example:

4/6 = 10/15

2/3 = 2/3

Find the ratio between the students and professors before the increase in enrollment.

= Number of students / Number of professors

= 1200 / 80

Dividing by 8

= 150 / 10

= 15 / 1

This means one professor for 15 students.

Find the number of students after the increase in enrollment.

= 1450

Find the number of new students enrolled.

= 1450 - 1200

= 250

Since the ratio between the students and professor is 15 students for one professor.

For 250 new students, the number of new professors we need is:

= 250 ÷ 15

= 16.66

This means we need around 16.66 new professors.

Thus the number of new professors needed to hire to keep the ratio of students and professors the same is 16.66 professors.

If sin ∅ = -sqrt{3} OVER 2 and π < ∅ < 3π OVER 2, what are the values of cos ∅ and tan ∅? What is ∅ in degrees and radians? Be sure to show and explain all work.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

sin ∅ = -(√3)/2

Note that

cos²∅ + sin²∅ = 1

cos²∅ = 1 - sin²∅

= 1 - (-√3 / 2)²

= 1 - (-√3)²/ 2²

= 1 - 3/4

= 1/4

cos²∅ = 1/4

Taking square root of both sides

cos∅ = 1/2

Note that tan∅ = sin∅/cos∅

therefore, tan∅ = -(√3)/2 ÷ 1/2

= -(√3)/2 × 2/1

= -√3

tan∅ = -√3

Since sin∅ = -√3 /2

Then ∅ = -60⁰

The value of ∅ for the given range (third quadrant) is 240⁰.

NB: sin∅ = sin(180-∅)
