Gail bought 5 pounds of oranges and 2 pounds of bananas for $14. Her husband later bought 3 pounds of oranges and 6 pounds of bananas for $18. What was the cost per pound of the oranges and the bananas?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1 pound of Oranges = $2

1 pound of Bananas = $2

Step-by-step explanation:

O = Oranges

B = Bananas

=> 5o + 2b = 14

=> 2b = 14 - 5o

=> b = 14/2 - 5/2o

=> b = 7 - 2.5o

3o + 6b = 18

=> 3o + 6( 7 - 2.5o ) = 18

=> 3o + 42 - 15o = 18

=> -12o + 42 = 18

=> -12o = -24

=> -o = -2

=> o = 2

One pound of oranges costs $2.

So,

5 (2) + 2b = 14

=> 10 + 2b = 14

=> 2b =4

=> b = 2

One pound of bananas also costs $2.

Answer 2
Answer: cost of orange per pound = 2$
Cost of banana per pound = 2$

A car enters a turnpike 22 miles north of a town. The car teavels north at an average speed of 64 miles per hour. How far is the car from the town after 4 hours? Explain how you can use linear function to solve this problem. Then, solve the problem.​

Answers

Answer:

distance traveled can be modeled by a linear functionthe car is 260 miles north of town

Step-by-step explanation:

a) When the speed is constant, the distance traveled is proportional to the travel time, a linear relationship. The distance traveled can be added to the initial distance to obtain the total distance (from town). This relation is a linear function. It can be modeled by the equation ...

  d(t) = 4 + 64t . . . where t is travel time in hours, d(t) is the distance in miles

b) After 4 hours, the distance north of town is ...

  d(4) = 4 +64(4) = 260

The car is 260 miles from the town after 4 hours.

Answer: Distance is a function of time. The constant rate of change is 64. Write the equation y = 64x + 22. Substitute 4 in for x to get 278 miles.

   Y = 2.843+ 0.037 X

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the straight line to be fitted to the data , be Y = a+b X where a and b are to be evaluated. The normal equations fro determining a and b are

∑Y = na +b ∑X

∑XY = a∑X + b∑X²

We now calculate ∑X, ∑Y , ∑X², and ∑XY

X                Y                XY              X²

21                 15                 64           115  

Thus the normal equation becomes

                                                 5a + 21b =15

                                                21a +115b = 64

Solving these two equations simultaneously we get

                                                105 a + 441b = 315

                                                105a + 575b = 320

                                                            134b= 5

b= 0.037 , a= 2.843

Hence the equation for the required straight line is

From her purchased bags, Rory counted 110 red candies out of 550 total candies. Using a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion, what are the lower and upper limit of the interval? Answer choices are rounded to the thousandths place.

Answers

Answer:

The Confidence Interval = (0.172, 0.228)

Where:

The lower limit = 0.172

The upper limit = 0.228

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to be applied or used to solve this question is :

Confidence Interval formula for proportion.

The formula is given as :

p ± z × √[p(1 - p)/n]

n = Total number of red candies = 550 red candles

p = proportion = Number of red candies counted/ Total number of red candies

= 110/550 = 1/5 = 0.2

z = z score for the given confidence interval.

We are given a confidence interval of 90%. Therefore, the z score = 1.6449

Confidence Interval = p ± z × √[p(1 - p)/n]

Confidence Interval = 0.2 ± 1.6449 × √[0.2(1 - 0.2)/550]

= 0.2 ± 1.6449 √0.2 × 0.8/550

= 0.2 ± 1.6449 × 0.0170560573

= 0.2 ± 0.0280555087

Hence, the Confidence Interval = 0.2 ± 0.0280555087

0.2 - 0.0280555087 = 0.1719444913

Approximately = 0.172

0.2 + 0.0280555087 = 0.2280555087

Approximately = 0.228

Therefore, the Confidence Interval = (0.172, 0.228)

Where:

The lower limit = 0.172

The upper limit = 0.228

Answer:

Lower Limit: 0.172

Upper Limit: 0.228

A passenger train traveled 180 miles in the same amount of time it took a freight train to travel 120 miles. The rate of the freight train was 15 miles per hour slower than the rate of the passenger train. Find the rate of the passenger train.

Answers

Answer:

The passenger train is moving at 45 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of time it took the two trains to travel the distance = t.

Since the two trains traveled the distance at the same time,

Rate of the passenger train =[tex]\frac{180}{t}[/tex]

Rate of the freight train = [tex]\frac{120}{t}[/tex]

Where t is in hours.

From the problem, we can see that the rate of the freight train was 15 miles per hour slower than the rate of the passenger train. Mathematically, we can represent this as

[tex]\frac{120}{t}= \frac{180}{t}-15[/tex]

from the above equation, we can now get our value for t  as

[tex]\frac{120-180}{t}=-15\\\frac{-60}{t}=-15\\t=4 hours[/tex]

We have our time of travel for the two trains as 4 hours.

The rate of the passenger train can now be calculated by 180/4 = 45 miles per hour

• If c < 0 then shift down by c units

Given

Heidi bought a machine that throws tennis balls for her dog to fetch. The height of each ball thrown by the machine, in feet, is modeled by the function f(x) = –x2 + x + 2, where x represents time in seconds. How many seconds after the machine throws the ball does it hit the ground?

Answers

Answer:

2 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

[tex]f(x) = -x^2 + x + 2[/tex]

Where f(x) represents the height of each ball thrown by machine.

and x represents the time in seconds.

To find:

The number of seconds after which the machine throws the balls hits the ground = ?

Solution:

In other words, we have to find the value of [tex]x[/tex] after which the [tex]f(x) = 0[/tex]

(Because when the ball hits the ground, the height becomes 0).

Let us put [tex]f(x) = 0[/tex] and solve for [tex]x[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = -x^2 + x + 2 =0\\\Rightarrow -x^2 + x + 2 =0\\\Rightarrow x^2 - x - 2 =0\\\Rightarrow x^2 - 2x+x - 2 =0\\\Rightarrow x(x - 2)+1(x - 2) =0\\\Rightarrow (x+1)(x - 2) =0\\\Rightarrow x =-1, 2[/tex]

[tex]x=-1[/tex] sec is not a valid answer because time can not be negative.

So, the answer is after 2 seconds, the ball hits the ground.

Coefficient of Variation (CV) = (Standard Deviation / Mean) * 100%

Calculate Mean for Security Service Company data:

Mean =  (Σ x₁) / n₁

         = (1.5 + 1.7 + 1.6 + 1.4 + 1.7 + 1.5 + 1.8 + 1.4 + 1.4 + 1.5) / 10

         = 15.5 / 10

Mean = 1.55

Calculate Standard Deviation for Security Service Company data:

Standard Deviation = √∑(x₁ - Mean)²/n₁-1

                                = √∑(1.5-1.55)² + (1.7-1.55)² + (1.6-1.55)² + (1.4-1.55)² + (1.7-1.55)² + (1.5-1.55)² + (1.8-1.55)² + (1.4-1.55)² + (1.4-1.55)² + (1.5-1.55)² / 10-1

= 0.14337208778404

= 0.143374

Standard Deviation = 0.143374

Coefficient of Variation for Security Service Company:

CV = (Standard Deviation / Mean) * 100%

     = (0.143374 /  1.55) * 100

     = 0.09249935 * 100

     = 9.249935

CV  = 9.2

CV  = 9.2%

Calculate Mean for Other Companies data:

Mean =  (Σ x₂) / n₂

Standard Deviation = 0.13375

Coefficient of Variation for Other Companies:

CV = (Standard Deviation / Mean) * 100%

Answer:

A. The stepwise selection procedure uses Adjusted R-square as the "best" model criterion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stepwise regression is a model which uses variables in step by step manner. The procedure involves removal or inclusion of independent variables one by one. It adds the most significant independent variable and removes the less significant independent variable. Usually stepwise selection uses R-square or Mallows Cp for picking the best fit.

If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is equal to -8 , which statement describes the roots?

Answers

Answer: There are no real number roots (the two roots are complex or imaginary)

The discriminant D = b^2 - 4ac tells us the nature of the roots for any quadratic in the form ax^2+bx+c = 0

There are three cases

If D < 0, then there are no real number roots and the roots are complex numbers.If D = 0, then we have one real number root. The root is repeated twice so it's considered a double root. This root is rational if a,b,c are rational.If D > 0, then we get two different real number roots. Each root is rational if D is a perfect square and a,b,c are rational.

A 160-lb man carries a 5-lb can of paint up a helical staircase that encircles a silo with radius 20 ft. If the silo is 90 ft high and the man makes exactly three complete revolutions, how much work is done by the man against gravity in climbing to the top

Answers

Weight of man and paint = 160 + 5 = 165 total pounds.

Gravitational force is independent of the path taken so we can ignore the radius of the silo.

Work done = total weight x height

The problem says he climbs to the top so overall height is 90 feet

Work = 165 lbs x 90 ft = 14,850 ft-lbs

Answer:

66 2/3 %

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the students not in the 8th grade

24 - 8 = 16

16 students are not in the 8th grade

Take the fraction of the students not in the 8th grade over the total

16/24 = 2/3

Change to a decimal

.66666666666

Multiply by 100 to change to a percent

66.666666%

66 2/3 %

Answer:

66.67% of students are not in eighth grade

Step-by-step explanation:

8/24=1/3

1/3=0.33333333333

1-0.33333333333=0.66666666667

0.66666666667=66.67%

The perimeter of a rectangle is 80 inches, if the width is 18 inches what is the area of the rectangle? A.22 sq.in B.324 sq.in C.396 sq.in D.6,400 sq.in

Answers

Answer:

396 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a triangle is given by the formula:

● P = 2w+2L

L is the length and w is the width

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

The width hereis 18 inches and the perimeter is 80 inches.

Replace w by 18 and P by 80 to find L.

● P= 2L+2w

● 80 = 2L + 2×18

● 80 = 2L + 36

Substrat 36 from both sides

● 80-36 = 2L+36-36

●44 = 2L

Divide both sides by 2

● 44/2 = 2L/2

● 22 = L

So the length is 22 inches

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula:

● A= L×w

● A = 22×18

● A = 396 in^2

A group of fitness club members lose a combined total of 28 kilograms in 1 week. There are approximately 2.2 pounds in 1 kilogram. Assuming the weight loss happened at a constant rate, about how many pounds did the group lose each day?

Answers

Answer:

8.8 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Combined weight loss which occurred within a week = 28 kg

Number of days in a week = 7 days

1 kilogram (kg) = 2.2 pounds

Combined weight loss in pounds that occurs within a week:

Weight loss in kg × 2.2

28kg * 2.2 = 61.6 pounds

Assume weight loss occurred at a constant rate :

Weight lost by the group per day :

(Total weight loss / number of days in a week)

(61.6 pounds / 7)

= 8.8 pounds daily

Answer:

88

Bushs speech to the troops on the USS Abraham Lincoln Our mission continues. Al-Qaida is wounded, not destroyed. The scattered cells of the terrorist network still operate in many nations, and we know from daily intelligence that they continue to plot against free people. The proliferation of deadly weapons remains a serious danger. The enemies of freedom are not idle, and neither are we. Our government has taken unprecedented measures to defend the homeland and we will continue to hunt down the enemy before he can strike. The war on terror is not over, yet it is not endless. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide. No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate. Their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory. Other nations in history have fought in foreign lands and remained to occupy and exploit. Americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home. And that is your direction tonight. After service in the Afghan and Iraqi theaters of war after 100,000 miles, on the longest carrier deployment in recent history you are homeward bound. Some of you will see new family members for the first time 150 babies were born while their fathers were on the Lincoln. Your families are proud of you, and your nation will welcome you. How does the sentence "Free nations will press on to victory" relate to the central idea of the speech? It furthers the idea that service people returning home will be called back out quite soon. It supports the main point that this is an ongoing fight that America will not abandon. It challenges the notion that Afghan people need an American presence to ensure their safety. It adds to the idea that it is essential to remove any American military presence beyond in other lands.
