Mr Lee has a family of 6 people and Mrs Scarlett has a family of 4. They were given 15 kg of chocolate
when they visited a chocolate factory for work. If they decide to share it so that each family
member gets an equal amount, determine the required ratio and hence calculate how much
chocolate Mr Lee and Mrs Scarlett will each take home to their families.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Mr Lee gets 9kg

Mrs Scarlett gets 6kg

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have 15kg of chocolate and a total of 6 + 4 = 10 people.

We want to divide the 15kg of chocolate evenly between these 10 people, then we just need to do the quotient

15kg/10 = 1.5kg

This means that each person gets 1.5 kg of chocolate.

Now, Mr. Lee has a family of 6 people, and each one of these 6 people got 1.5 kg of chocolate, then the total amount of chocolate that Mr. Lee will bring home is 6 times 1.5kg:

6*1.5kg = 9kg

And Mrs Scarlett will get the remaining, that is:

15kg - 9kg = 6kg

Mrs Scarlett will get 6kg of chocolate.

PLSSS HELP!! I'LL GIVE BRAINLIEST IF RIGHT Which is the equation of a parabola with a directrix at y = 2 and a focus at (5, 0). A) y = one fourth(x − 5)2 + 1 B) y = one fourth(x + 1)2 − 5 C) y = −one fourth(x + 1)2 − 5 d) y = −one fourth(x − 5)2 + 1

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola is the locus of a point such that its distance from a given line (directrix) and a fixed point (focus) is always the same.

The equation of a parabola with a horizontal line as directrix is given by:

(x - h)² = 4p(y - k)

where y = k - p is the directrix and the focus = (h, k + p)

Given that parabola has a directrix at y = 2 and a focus at (5, 0)

Therefore:

y = k - p

k - p = 2          (1)

focus = (h, k + p) = (5, 0)

h = 5, k + p = 0

k + p = 0         (2)

Solve equation 1 and 2 simultaneously by adding both equations together:

2k = 2

k = 1

Substitute k = 1 in k + p = 0 to find p:

1 + p = 0

p = -1

Therefore h = 5, p = -1 and k = 1

Substitute the values of h, k and p into the equation of a parabola:

(x - h)² = 4p(y - k)

(x - 5)² = 4(-1)(y - 1)

(x - 5)² = -4(y - 1)

x² - 10x + 25 = -4y + 4

-4y = x² - 10x + 21

4y = 10x - x² - 21

? = 109 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

45 + 75 + _ = 180  ( look for vertical angles)

45 + 75 + 60 = 180

60 +79 + _ = 180 (look for a straight line that forms 180 degrees)

60 + 79 + 41 = 180

68 + 41 + _ = 180 (look for a triangle that adds up to 180)

68 + 41 + 71 =180

180 - 71 = 109 (look for a linear pair)

Answer: Lower-right corner  [tex]3^7 \times \frac{1}{3^4}[/tex]

Explanation:

We use the rule that

[tex]a^{-b} = \frac{1}{a^b}[/tex]

The negative exponent tells us to apply the reciprocal if we want the exponent to be positive.

In this case, a = 3 and b = 4

So,

[tex]a^{-b} = \frac{1}{a^b}\\\\3^{-4} = \frac{1}{3^4}[/tex]

which is why overall,

[tex]3^7\times 3^{-4} = 3^7 \times \frac{1}{3^4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In a coordinate plane, there are two axes

1) x-axis which is the horizontal axis.

2) y-axis which is the vertical axis.

The intersection of both the axes is known as the origin whose coordiantes are (0,0), i.e. at this point value of x =0 and value of y =0.

Part A: The ordered pair that represents the intersection of the x-axis and y-axis is called the origin.

The increased value is

[tex]\text{New value}=\text{Initial value + Increasing rate }\times \text{Initial value}[/tex]

[tex]\text{New value}=386.3+\dfrac{4}{100}\times 386.3[/tex]

A regular polygon has 12 sides find the size of each of its interior angles​

Answers

Answer:

150°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is

sum = 180° ( n - 2) ← n is the number of sides

Here n = 12, then

sum = 180° × 10 = 1800°

Since there are 12 interior angles, then

size of each interior angle = 1800° ÷ 12 = 150°

Suppose an object is launched from ground level directly upward at 57.4 f/s Write a function to represent the object’s height over time.

Answers

Answer: p(t) = (-16 ft/s^2)*t^2 + (57.4 ft/s)*t

Step-by-step explanation:

We can suppose that the only force acting on the object is the gravitational force, then the acceleration of the object will be equal to the gravitational acceleration.

Then we can write:

a(t) = -32 ft/s^2

Where the negative sign is because this acceleration is downwards.

Now, to get the vertical velocity of the object, we need to integrate over time to get:

v(t) = (-32 ft/s^2)*t + v0

where t represents time in seconds and v0 is the constant of integration, and in this case, is the initial vertical velocity.

In this case, the initial velocity is 57.4 ft/s upwards, then the velocity equation is:

v(t) = (-32 ft/s^2)*t + 57.4 ft/s

To get the position equation we need to integrate over time again, to get:

p(t) = (1/2)*(-32 ft/s^2)*t^2 + (57.4 ft/s)*t + p0

Where p0 is the initial height of the object, as it was launched from the ground, then the initial position is p0 = 0ft.

then the position equation (that is the function that represents the height of the object as a function over time) is:

p(t) = (1/2)*(-32 ft/s^2)*t^2 + (57.4 ft/s)*t

p(t) = (-16 ft/s^2)*t^2 + (57.4 ft/s)*t
