A charter school did a local beach cleanup. They collected a total of 55 pounds of plastic bottles and aluminum cans. The California refund value for plastic is $1.60 per pound and $1.28 per pound for aluminum. The school recycled a total of $77.60 worth of plastic and aluminum. How many pounds of each, plastic and aluminum, did the class collect?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Plastic is 22.5 pounds and aluminum is 32.5 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

total junk = 55 pounds

Value of plastic = $ 1.60 per pound

Value of aluminum = $ 1.28 per pound

Total value= $ 77.60

Let the plastic is p and the aluminum is 55 - p.

Total cost

77.60 = 1.6 p + (55 - p) x 1.28

77.60 =  1.6 p + 70.4 - 1.28 p

7.2 = 0.32 p

p = 22.5 pounds

So, plastic is 22.5 pounds and aluminum is 32.5 pounds.

For which equation is (4, 3) a solution?
y=x+3
y=3 x-4
y= 2 x-5
y= 2 x-1
please say how you got your answer

Answers

Answer:

y = 2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use trial and error to solve this.

4 = x and 3 = y

y = x + 3: 4 + 3 = 7 ≠ 3 (not what we want)

y = 3x + 4: (3 x 4) - 4 = 8 ≠ 3 (not what we want)

y = 2x - 5: (2 x 4) - 5 = 3 (what we want)

y = 2x - 1: (2 x 4) - 1 = 7 ≠ 3 (not what we want)

The answer is y = 2x - 5

A spinner is divided into eight equal sections numbered 1-8. find the probability of not spinning a 5. write your answer as a fraction, percent and decimal.

Answers

Answer:

7/8, 87.5%, 0.875

Step-by-step explanation:

There is only 1 5 on the spinner. And there are 8 equal sections.

The probability of spinning a 5 is 1/8.

So, the probability of not spinning a 5 is 7/8

To find the Percent and Decimal form, divide 7 by 8.

You get 0.875-the decimal form

Move the decimal point 2 places to the right:

87.5

a mean equal to 5 cm. A simple random sample of wrist breadths of 40 women has a mean of 5.07
cm. The population standard deviation is 0.33 cm. Find the value of the test statistic?

Answers

Answer:

The value of the test statistic is [tex]z = 1.34[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

Test if the mean is equal to 5:

This means that the null hypothesis is [tex]\mu = 5[/tex]

A simple random sample of wrist breadths of 40 women has a mean of 5.07 cm. The population standard deviation is 0.33 cm.

This means that [tex]n = 40, X = 5.07, \sigma = 0.33[/tex]

Find the value of the test statistic?

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{5.07 - 5}{\frac{0.33}{\sqrt{40}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = 1.34[/tex]

The value of the test statistic is [tex]z = 1.34[/tex]

Determine, without​ graphing, whether the given quadratic function has a maximum value or a minimum value and then find the value.
f(x)=6x^2+12x

Answers

Answer:

(-1, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

This a term in this function is not negative, which would make it be flipped over the x-axis. Therefore this function takes the typical parabola shape, and it will have a minimum point.

To find the x-value of the minimum use the formula -b / 2a.

-12 / 2(6) = -1

Then plug in the x-value and find the y-value for this function

f(-1) = 6(-1)^2 + 12(-1) = -6

The radius of a sphere is increasing at a rate of 2 mm/s. How fast is the volume increasing (in mm3/s) when the diameter is 100 mm

Answers

Answer:

The radius is increasing at a rate of 62832 cubic millimeters per second when the diameter is of 100 mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a sphere:

The volume of a sphere of radius r is given by:

[tex]V = \frac{4\pi r^3}{3}[/tex]

How fast is the volume increasing:

To find this, we have to differentiate the variables of the problem, which are V and r, implicitly in function of time. So

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = 4\pi r^2\frac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

The radius of a sphere is increasing at a rate of 2 mm/s.

This means that [tex]\frac{dr}{dt} = 2[/tex]

How fast is the volume increasing (in mm3/s) when the diameter is 100 mm?

Radius is half the diameter, so [tex]r = \frac{100}{2} = 50[/tex]

Then

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = 4\pi r^2\frac{dr}{dt} = 4\pi (50)^2(2) = 62832[/tex]

The radius is increasing at a rate of 62832 cubic millimeters per second when the diameter is of 100 mm.

Answer:

A solution = solute + solvent

A 2 Litre solution = (2 * 1000) = 2000 mg

Having, 400 mg of solute ;

400 mg = (0.001 * 400) = 0.4 ml

The strength of the solution :

Amount of solute / Amount of solution

0.4 / 2000

As a ratio :

0.4 / 2000 = (0.4 * 10) / (2000*10) = 4 / 20000 = 1 / 5000 = 1 : 5000 (as a ratio)

A small college has 1200 students and 80 professors. The college is planning to increase enrollment to 1450 students next year. How many new professors should be hired to keep the ratio of students to professors the same

Answers

The number of new professors needed to hire to keep the ratio of students and professors the same is 16.66  professors.

Given,

A small college has 1200 students and 80 professors.

The college is planning to increase enrollment to 1450 students next year.

We need to find how many new professors should be hired to keep the

ratio of students to professors the same.

What is meant by proportion?

If the two ratios are the same then we called it that they are in proportion.

Example:

4/6 = 10/15

2/3 = 2/3

Find the ratio between the students and professors before the increase in enrollment.

= Number of students / Number of professors

= 1200 / 80

Dividing by 8

= 150 / 10

= 15 / 1

This means one professor for 15 students.

Find the number of students after the increase in enrollment.

= 1450

Find the number of new students enrolled.

= 1450 - 1200

= 250

Since the ratio between the students and professor is 15 students for one professor.

For 250 new students, the number of new professors we need is:

= 250 ÷ 15

= 16.66

This means we need around 16.66 new professors.

Thus the number of new professors needed to hire to keep the ratio of students and professors the same is 16.66 professors.

(c) A hole is to be designed so that 2% of the ball bearings will fit through it. The bearings that fit through the hole will be melted down and remade. What should the diameter of the hole be

Answers

Answer:

a) The 60th percentile of the diameters is of 25.0177 millimeters.

b) The 67th percentile of the diameters is of 25.0308 millimeters.

c) The diameter of the hole should be of 24.8562 millimeters.

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.

Normally distributed with mean 25.0 millimeters and standard deviation 0.07 millimeter.

This means that [tex]\mu = 25, \sigma = 0.07[/tex]

(a) Find the 60th percentile of the diameters.

This is X when Z has a p-value of 0.6, so X when Z = 0.253.

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

[tex]0.253 = \frac{X - 25}{0.07}[/tex]

[tex]X - 25 = 0.253*0.07[/tex]

[tex]X = 25.0177[/tex]

The 60th percentile of the diameters is of 25.0177 millimeters.

(b) Find the 67th percentile of the diameters.

This is X when Z has a p-value of 0.67, so X when Z = 0.44.

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

[tex]0.44 = \frac{X - 25}{0.07}[/tex]

[tex]X - 25 = 0.44*0.07[/tex]

[tex]X = 25.0308[/tex]

The 67th percentile of the diameters is of 25.0308 millimeters.

(c) A hole is to be designed so that 2% of the ball bearings will fit through it. The bearings that fit through the hole will be melted down and remade. What should the diameter of the hole be.

This is the 2nd percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.08, so X when Z = -2.054.

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

[tex]-2.054 = \frac{X - 25}{0.07}[/tex]

[tex]X - 25 = -2.054*0.07[/tex]

[tex]X = 24.8562[/tex]

The diameter of the hole should be of 24.8562 millimeters.
