Sean bought 3/7 of a pound of cherries and then he ate 1/4 of a pound of them. When he got home, he saw that he still had 2/3 of a pound of cherries in his cupboard. How many total pounds of cherries does he have? Give your answer as an exact simplified improper fraction, not as a mixed number. Do not include units.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

71 /84

answer is not in imporper fraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

fractions need to be changed or converted to equivalent fractions inorder to solve them.

1.Total amount of cherries he bought and he already had in cupboard= 3/7 + 2/3

convert them to equivalent fractions inorder to add them by using LCM of the denominators.Which in this case is 21 (LCM of 7 and 3 is 21)

2. Now the common denominator is 21

change 3/7 to a fraction with 21 as denominator by multiplying the numerator to 3 and denominator also by 3 which will give you 3×3=9/ 7×3=21 or 9/21

note: you have to multiply both numerator and denominator by the same number which is used to convert the denominator to the number given by LCM.

3)Now change the second fractions denominator to 21 by multiplying the denominator 3 by 7 and numerator 2 to 7 :

2×7/3×7 = 14/21

4) Now the fractions have same denominator which means they can be added or subtracted.

5) Total amount of cherries he had= 9/21+14/21 = 23/21

6) The amount of cherries he ate = 1/4

7) Amount of cherries he has now with him after he ate 1/4 from 23/21 = 23/21 - 1/4

8) Again the fractions need to be changed to equivalent fractions inorder to subtract them.So,Take the LCM of the denominators (LCM 21 and 4 is 84).Now change the denominator of each fraction to 84.

9) 23/21 becomes 23× 4/21×4 = 92/84

1/4 becomes 1×21/4×21 = 21/84

now subtract them

92/84 - 21/84 = 71/84

71/84 cannot be properly divided so, 71/84 is the answer.

He has 71/84 pounds of cherries with him.

Niki Brought a patio set on sale for $480 the original price was $850 what was the rate of discount

Answers

If Niki Brought a patio set on sale for $480 the original price was $850, then the rate of discount is 43.52%

Given,

The original price = $850

The selling price = $480

We know discount amount is the difference between the original price and selling price

Discount amount = Original price -  Selling price

Substitute the values in the equation

Discount amount =850-480

= $370

Then the discount percentage = (Discount amount ÷Original price )×100

Substitute the values in the equation

Discount percentage= [tex](\frac{370}{850})100[/tex]

=43.52%

Hence, if Niki Brought a patio set on sale for $480 the original price was $850, then the rate of discount is 43.52%

A manufacturer of fuses claims that with 20% overload, the fuses will blow
in less than 10 minutes on the average. To test this claim, a random sample of 20 of
these fuses was subjected to a 20% overload, and the times it took them to blow had
the mean of 10.4 minutes and a sample standard deviation of 1.6 minutes. It can be
assumed that the data constitute a random sample from a normal population. Do they
tend to support or refute the manufacturer’s claim?

Answers

Using the t-distribution, it is found that since the p-value of the test is greater than the standard significance level of 0.05, the data refutes the manufacturer's claim.

What are the hypothesis tested?

At the null hypothesis, we test if there is not enough evidence that the mean is less than 10 minutes, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu \geq 10[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test is there is enough evidence that the mean is less than 10 minutes, that is:

[tex]H_1: \mu > 10[/tex]

What is the test statistic?

The test statistic is given by:

[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

The parameters are:

[tex]\overline{x}[/tex] is the sample mean.[tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis.s is the standard deviation of the sample.n is the sample size.

The values of the parameters are given as follows:

[tex]\overline{x} = 10.4, \mu = 10, s = 1.6, n = 20[/tex]

Hence the test statistic is:

[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{10.4 - 10}{\frac{1.6}{\sqrt{20}}}[/tex]

t = 1.12.

What is the p-value?

Using a t-distribution calculator, considering a left-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is less than a value, with t = 1.12 and 20 - 1 = 19 df, the p-value is of 0.8617.

Since the p-value of the test is greater than the standard significance level of 0.05, the data refutes the manufacturer's claim.

How to select the compound inequality for the area written in terms of x?

The given parameters are

Dimensions = 4x and 5

Area: 100 ≤ A ≤ 1,000

The area is calculated as

A = Product of dimensions

So, we have

A = 4x * 5

Evaluate

A =20x

Substitute A =20x in 100 ≤ A ≤ 1,000

100 ≤ 20x ≤ 1,000

So, the compound inequality for the area written in terms of x is 100 ≤ 20x ≤ 1,000

Divide through 100 ≤ 20x ≤ 1,000 by 20

5 ≤ x ≤ 50

Hence, the solution is 5 ≤ x ≤ 50 and all the solutions are viable

find the perimeter of J(-4,2), K(1,2), L(2,-2) and M(-3,-2)

Answers

Answer:

Perimeter = 31.12

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the shape JKLM will be expressed as;

Perimeter = JK + JL + JM + KL + KM + LM

Using the formula for calculating the distance between two points;

D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

For JK where  J(-4,2) and K(1,2)

JK = √(1+4)²+(2-2)²

JK = √5²

JK =√25

JK = 5

For JK where  J(-4,2) and L(2,-2)

JL = √(2+4)²+(-2-2)²

JL = √6²+(-4)²

JL =√36+16

JL = √52

For JM where  J(-4,2) and M(-3,-2)

JM = √(-3+4)²+(-2-2)²

JM = √1²+(-4)²

JM =√1+16

JM = √17

For KL where  K(1,2), L(2,-2)

KL = √(2-1)²+(-2-2)²

KL = √1²+(-4)²

KL =√1+16

KL = √17

For KL where  K(1,2), M(-3,-2)

KM = √(-3-1)²+(-2-2)²

KM = √4²+(-4)²

KM = √16+16

KM = √32

KM = 4√2

For KL where  L(2,-2) and M(-3,-2)

LM = √(-3-2)²+(-2+2)²

LM = √(-5)²+(0)²

LM = √25

LM = 5

Perimeter = 5 + 4√2 + √17  + √17 + 5 + √52

Perimeter = 10 + 4√2 + 2√17 + √52

Perimeter = 10+5.66+8.25+7.21

Perimeter = 31.12

Answers

The length of the Akashi bridge is 13000 feet.

What is a fraction?

A fraction is a part of a whole.

It is expressed as a quotient, in which the numerator is divided by the denominator.

Example:

1/2, 4/5.

We have,

Golden Gate Bridge = 9000 feet

Akashi bridge = 1 and 4/9 times as long as Golden Gate Bridge

Here,

1 and 4/9 times can also be written as:

1 4/9 = 13/9 x 9000  

or

1 x 9000 + 4/9 x 9000

The length of the Akashi bridge:

= 1 x 9000 + 4/9 x 9000

= 9000 + 4 x 1000

= 9000 + 4000

= 13000 feet

Thus the length of the Akashi bridge is 13000 feet.

Answers

The end behavior of the graph is  since the first end drops and the second rises in this case.

The degree and leading coefficient of a particular polynomial's graph will be used to analyze its final behavior.

The right answer is C: "[tex]2x^{7}[/tex] is the leading phrase. As an is positive and n is odd, the final behavior is down and up."

The general principle to remember is:

The polynomial's two arms move in the same direction if the degree is even, and both ends move upward if the leading coefficient is positive.

Both ends fall if the leading coefficient is negative.

Each end points in a separate directions if the degree is odd.

The first end (the one with the negative values) goes down and the other end goes up if the leading coefficient is positive.

The opposite occurs when the leading coefficient is negative.

This is the polynomial:

p(x)= [tex]2x^{7} -8x^{6} -3x^{5} -3[/tex]

The degree is 7, therefore it is odd, and the leading coefficient is positive, as can be seen (is equal to 2).

The correct response is C since the first end drops and the second rises in this case.
