Martin is making a candy that contains 90% milk chocolate and the rest caramels. The candy has 3 pounds of caramels.

Part A: Write an equation using one variable that can be used to find the total number of pounds of milk chocolate and caramels in the candy. Define the variable used in the equation. (5 points)

Part B: How many pounds of milk chocolate are present in the candy? Show your work.​

Answers

Answer 1

Let x be the weight of the candy in pounds, then 0.9x is the weight of the milk chocolate in pounds

The weight of the caramels in the candy is 3 pounds, so

 

An equation that can be used find the total number of pounds of milk chocolate and caramels in the candy is

0.9x + 3 = x ⇒ x = 30

So there are 0.9(30) = 27 pounds of milk chocolate in the candy.

hope this helps

Mean Standard Deviation

City MPG 22.37 4.77

Highway MPG 29.09 5.46


a. The Honda Civic had a rating of 45 highway MPG. What is the probability that your car has a worse highway gas mileage than the Civic?



b. The Lincoln Continental had a rating of 17 city MPG. What percent of cars are likely to have a better city gas mileage than the Continental?

Answers

Answer:

a. 0.0018 = 0.18% probability that your car has a worse highway gas mileage than the Civic

b. 89.06% of cars are likely to have a better city gas mileage than the Continental

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

a. The Honda Civic had a rating of 45 highway MPG. What is the probability that your car has a worse highway gas mileage than the Civic?

For Highway, we have that [tex]\mu = 29.09, \sigma = 5.46[/tex]

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 45. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{45 - 29.09}{5.46}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.91[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.91[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9982

1 - 0.9982 = 0.0018

0.0018 = 0.18% probability that your car has a worse highway gas mileage than the Civic.

b. The Lincoln Continental had a rating of 17 city MPG. What percent of cars are likely to have a better city gas mileage than the Continental?

City means that [tex]\mu = 22.37, \sigma = 4.37[/tex]

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 17. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{17 - 22.37}{4.37}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.23[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.23[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.1094

1 - 0.1094 = 0.8906

0.8906 = 89.06% of cars are likely to have a better city gas mileage than the Continental

well just go throught the factors as far as you can ik from my personal mindset that 14*14= 196 so if i go bk and  calculate 13*13=169 which means its gonna be in between 13 and 14. so to figure this out we have to write it out. so we can try 13.5*13.5=182.25 so we have to go higher  13.89*13.89=192.9321 which means it has to be 13.89 rounded to the nearest hundreth.

The length of a rectangle is 13 centimeters less than four times its width. Its area is 35 square
centimeters. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.
The width is
and the length is

Answers

Answer:

width 5

length 7

Step-by-step explanation:

W * L = 35

L = 4 * W - 13

W * (4W-13) = 35

4 W^2 - 13 W - 35 = 0

delta = 169 + 4*4*35 = 729 = 27^2

W = (13 + 27) / 8 = 5 (its the only solution since 13 - 27 is less than 0 which makes no sense)

L = 4 * 5 - 13 = 7

The length and width of the rectangle are 7 cm and 5 cm respectively.

What is a rectangle?

A rectangle is a closed 2-D shape, having 4 sides, 4 corners, and 4 right angles (90°). The opposite sides of a rectangle are equal and parallel.

Given that, the length of a rectangle is 13 cm less than four times its width. Its area is 35 cm².

We know that, the area of a rectangle = length × width

Let the width of the given rectangle be w,

According to question,

length = 4w - 13

Therefore,

(4w - 13) × w = 35

4w² - 13w = 35

4w² - 13w - 35 = 0

Factorizing, we get,

w = 5 and w = -7/4

Therefore, width = 5

Length = 20 - 13

Length = 7

Hence, the length and width of the rectangle are 7 cm and 5 cm respectively.

at time t, the position of a body moving along the s-axis is s=t^3 - 12t^2 + 36t m. Find the total distance traveled by the body from t=0 to t=3.

Answers

Answer:

27 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The position of a body is given by :

[tex]s=t^3 - 12t^2 + 36t[/tex]

We need to find the total distance traveled by the body from t=0 to t=3.

At t = 0,

[tex]s=0^3 - 12(0)^2 + 36(0)=0\ m[/tex]

At t = 3 s,

[tex]s=(3)^3 - 12(3)^2 + 36(3)\\\\=27\ m[/tex]

So, the total distance from t=0 to t=3 is equal to 27 m.

a. compound interest
b. simple interest
c. interest rate
d. principal

Answers

Answer:

A. Compound Interest

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest is interest paid on both the principal and previously earned interest.

Compound interest earned on both the principal and any previously earned interest. Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

What is the rate of interest?

An interest rate tells you how high the cost of borrowing is, or high the rewards are for saving. So, if you're a borrower, the interest rate is the amount you are charged for borrowing money, shown as a percentage of the total amount of the loan.

Compound interest is the interest on savings calculated on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods.

The formula used to find the compound interest = [tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{100})^{nt}[/tex]

Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

Its says in question 4 tue horizontal translation is A right.?

Answers

Answer:

Here we have:

g(x) = 3*f( 2*x - 2) - 1

We want to know the horizontal translation used here.

We need to discuss two types of transformations here.

horizontal translation.

If we have a function f(x), a horizontal translation of N units is written as:

g(x) = f(x + N)

if N is negative, the translation is to the right.

if N is positive, the translation is to the left.

Horizontal dilation.

For a function f(x) an horizontal dilation of scale factor k is written as:

g(x) = f( x/k)

You can see that in our function we have both of these transformations.

Because we compare the translation with f(x), we assume that the horizontal translation is the first thing we did, then we must have

translation:

g(x) = f(x + N)

and now a horizontal dilation of scale factor k

g(x) = f( (x + N)/k)

Then we must have that the argument of the above function is the same as the argument of the given function.

(x + N)/k = 2*x - 2

then:

k = 1/2

(x + N)/1/2 = 2*x + 2*N = 2*x - 2

2*N = -2

N = -2/2 = -1

This means that we have a translation of 1 unit to the right.
