Macario is making 12 pounds of nut mixture with macadamia nuts and almonds. Macadamia nuts cost $9 per pound, and
almonds cost $5.25 per pound. How many pounds of macadamia nuts and how many pounds of almonds should Macario
use for the mixture to cost $6.50 per pound to make?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Marcario should use  4 pounds of macadamia nuts and 8 pounds of almonds.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Marcario should use  4 pounds of macadamia nuts and 8 pounds of almonds. Explanation given cost of macadamia nuts per pound=$9

cost of almond nuts per pound=$5.25

cost of the mixture per pound=$6.5

total pounds of the mixture to be made=12

let the pounds of macadamia nuts=x

pounds of almond nuts=y

total pounds of nuts=x+y= 12

x + y = 12(1)

9x +5,25y = 6.5(x+y)

9x+5.25y=6.5*12

9x+5.25y=78(2)

solving (1) and (2)

x=4 y=8

Meg plotted the graph below to show the relationship between the temperature of her city and the number of people at a swimming pool:

Main title on the graph is Swimming Pool Population. Graph shows 0 to 30 on x axis at increments of 5 and 0 to 12 on y axis at increments of 1. The label on the x axis is Temperature in degree C, and the label on the y axis is Number of People at the Pool. Dots are made at the ordered pairs 2.5, 1 and 5, 2 and 7.5, 2 and 7.5, 3 and 7.5, 4 and 10, 5 and 10, 6 and 12.5, 6 and 15, 7 and 15, 8 and 17.5, 5 and 17.5, 7 and 20, 9 and 22.5, 7 and 22.5, 9 and 25, 11 and 27.5, 12.

Part A: In your own words, describe the relationship between the temperature of the city and the number of people at the swimming pool. (5 points)

Part B: Describe how you can make the line of best fit. Write the approximate slope and y-intercept of the line of best fit. Show your work, including the points that you use to calculate slope and y-intercept. (5 points)

Answers

Answer:

As the temperature increases, the number of people at the pool increases.

Part B: I think the line best fit can be one that starts at (0,0), and goes up until (28,12). The approximate slope would be 0.42, and the y-intercept is 0.

SLOPE:

(28,12)

y / x = m

12 / 28 = 0.42

Y-INTERCEPT:

​(0,0)

= 0

Find the 12th term of the geometric sequence 2, 10, 50, ...

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometric sequence is multiplying by 5

2, 10, 50,

2 times 5 is 10 (First)

10 times 5 is 50 (Second)

50 times 5 is 250 (Third)

250 times 5 is 1250 (Fourth)

1250 times 5 is 6250 (Fifth)

6250 times 5 is 31250 (Sixth)

31250 times 5 is 156250 (Seventh)

156250 times 5 is 781250 (Eighth)

781250 times 5 is 3906250 (Ninth)

3906250 times 5 is 19531250 (Tenth)

The equation of the line for the given data set of scatter plots will be y =- x. Since their Mean(M) is equal.

What is the Linear equation?

A linear equation is an algebraic equation of the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, and only a constant and a first-order (linear) term are included. Sometimes, the aforementioned is referred to as a "linear equation of two variables," with y and x serving as the variables.

Given a data set of the number of text messages sent (x) and text messages received (y) by 10 students in a half hour.

so

x     y

0    2

5    1

6    4

8    12

11    11

12    13

15    11

17    20

21    22

24    23

Where M of x = 11.9

also the M of y = 11.9

Sum of X = 119

Sum of Y = 119

Mean X = 11.9

Mean Y = 11.9

The sum of squares (SSX) = 504.9

The sum of products (SP) = 504.9

Regression Equation = ŷ = bX + a

b = SP/SSX = 504.9/504.9 = 1

a = MY - bMX = 11.9 - (1*11.9) = 0

ŷ = 1X - 0

Thus the equation of line best fit will be y = x.

My math students challenged me, their math teacher, to play a dice game with them. They will give me 10 cents for each odd sum I roll with two dice, but I have to give them 10 cents for each even sum they roll with the two dice. I do not think this game is fair. I think I am going to get cheated! I noticed that I cannot roll one of my odd numbers: 1!

Should I play this game with the students? Use your mathematical thinking to convince me whether or not this is a fair game.

Answers

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

You can if you want, but there is a total of 6 on the dice. And there are 3 odds. Each odd you role you gain 10 cents, but each time a student roles a even they also get 10 cents. So you will get paid and in a game of chance and gambling. You won't gain anything if ALL of the students are together and going against you. Its like 1 vs 25 and you would have to pay a lot of students at one time to play this game. So logically no, because you won't gain money. But also you could if you always get odds, but again. That's a 3/6 or 1/2 each time you role to get a odd number.

Carmen's father is 28 years older than her and 3 years ago he was 5 times her age. What are their ages?

28-3=25

so 25/5=5

she is 5 year old

Let the age of father and daughter be x and y.
By the question,
x = y+28 equation i
Three years ago;
x-3 = 5 ( y- 3 ) equation ii
y + 28 - 3 = 5y - 15 ( substitute x in eq’n 2 )
y + 25 = 5y - 15
40 = 4y
y= 10
Thus daughter is 10 years old.

Three friends all have ages that are consecutive integers. The sum of their
ages is 57. What is the age of the oldest friend?

Answers

Answer:

Friend C would be 20 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive integers are integers that follow each other

In this case, we have three friends (let's call them A, B, and C) who's total age sum is 57:

A + B + C = 57

If Friend B is one year older than Friend A and Friend C is two years older than Friend A (or one year older than Friend B), then we write and solve for Friend A:

A + (A + 1) + (A + 2) = 57

3A + 3 = 57

3A = 54

A = 18

So if Friend A is 18 years old, then Friend B is 19 years old, and Friend C is 20 years old, making Friend C the oldest.

Answer:

20 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 3 = 57

3x = 54

x = 18

X + 2 = 18 + 2

Answer = 20 years old
