In a bag there are blue sweets, red sweets and yellow sweets. The number of blue sweets is four times the number of yellow sweets. The number of red sweets is half the number of yellow sweets. Find the percentage of sweets in the bag that are yellow.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

18.18%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of sweets in the bag that are yellow is as follows:

Let us assume the number of yellow sweets be x

So for number of blue sweets be 4x

And, the number of red sweets be 0.5x

So it could be written as

Blue Red Yellow

4        0.5    1

8        1        2

So for yellow, the percentage is

= 2 ÷ (8 + 1 + 2)

= 2 ÷ 11

= 18.18%

Answer:

x = - 8/23

y = 40/23

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x- y = 0

and

-8x+3y = 8

The first step to solve this would be to get what one of the two variables equal. The easiest in this case is y from the first equation.

-5x-y = 0

-y = 5x

y = - 5x

Now you can take this y value and plug it into the section equation.

-8x + 3(-5x) = 8

-8x - 15x = 8

-23x = 8

x = - (8/23)

Once you get the x value you can plug it back into equation one to get y's value

-5*-(8/23)  - y = 0

40/23 - y = 0

y = 40/23

Answers

Answer:

theta = 22.6 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the value of theta

To do this , we use the appropriate trigonometric identity

Let us identify the given sides of the triangle

we have the hypotenuse, which is the longest side of the triangle, given as 13 and the third side called the adjacent, given as 12

The trigonometric identity that relates the hypotenuse to the adjacent is the cosine

Mathematically;

cosine of an angle is the ratio of the adjacent to the hypotenuse

Thus, we have it that;

cos theta = 12/13

theta = arc(cos) 12/13

theta= 22.6

Carter is going to invest $210 and leave it in an account for 5 years. Assuming the interest is compounded annually, what interest rate, to the nearest tenth of a percent, would be required in order for Carter to end up with $250?

What is compound interest?

Compound interest is the interest calculated on the principal and the interest accumulated over the previous period.

Compound interest formula

[tex]CI = P(1+\frac{r}{n}) ^{nt} -P[/tex]

and, the Amount is given by

[tex]A = P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}[/tex]

Where,

A is amount

P is principal

r is rate of interest

n is number of times interest is compounded per year

t is time

According to the given question

Principal, P = $210

Amount, A = $250

Time, t = 5 years

n = 1

Therefore, the interest rate is given by

Amount = [tex]P(1+\frac{r}{n}) ^{nt}[/tex]

⇒[tex]250 = 210(1+\frac{r}{1}) ^{5}[/tex]

⇒[tex]\frac{250}{210} =(1+r)^{5}[/tex]

⇒[tex]1.19 = (1+r)^{5}[/tex]

⇒[tex]\sqrt[5]{1.19} = 1+r\\[/tex]

⇒ 1.035 = 1 + r

⇒ r = 1.035 - 1

⇒ r = 0.35

Hence, the interest rate is o.35.

A boxer punches a sheet of paper in midair and brings it from rest up to a speed of 20m/s in 0.044 S

Answers

Complete Question:

A boxer punches a sheet of paper in midair and brings it from rest up to a speed of 20m/s in 0.044 Seconds.

a. what acceleration is imparted to the paper?

b. if the mass of the paper is 0.003 kg, what force does the boxer exert on it?

c. how much force does the paper exert on the boxer?

Answer:

a. Acceleration = 454.55m/s².

b. Force = 1.36N

c. Force = -1.36N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Final velocity = 20m/s

Time = 0.044 seconds.

Since the paper is at rest, we know that it's initial velocity is equal to 0m/s.

a. To find acceleration;

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

[tex]Acceleration (a) = \frac{final \; velocity - initial \; velocity}{time}[/tex]

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex]a = \frac{20 - 0}{0.044}[/tex]

[tex]a = \frac{20}{0.044}[/tex]

Acceleration = 454.55m/s²

b. To find the force exerted by the boxer;

Mass = 0.003kg

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 0.003 * 454.55

Force = 1.36N

c. To find the force exerted by the paper;

According to Newton's third law of motion which states that, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Therefore, the paper exerts an equal but opposite force on the boxer.

Force = -1.36N
