Alec makes jam to sell at a local farmers' market. To make last week's batch, he used 2 cups of sugar and 18 cups of berries. It was so popular that he made a larger batch this week. To make this week's batch, Alec used 4 cups of sugar and 30 cups of berries, and the jam sold out even faster. Which batch had a greater ratio of sugar to berries?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

This week's batch had the greater ratio of sugar to berries

Step-by-step explanation:

Last week's ratio was 2:18

This week's ratio was 4:30

Now, we can simplify both of these:

Divide last week's by 2:

1:9

Divide this week's by 2:

2:15

1:9 is equivalent to 0.11, and 2:15 is equivalent to 0.13

So, this week's batch had the greater ratio of sugar to berries

Answer 2

The batch with 4 cups of sugar and 30 cups of berries has a greater ratio of sugar to berries and is given by the proportion B = 4/30 = 0.1333

What is Proportion?

The proportion formula is used to depict if two ratios or fractions are equal. The proportion formula can be given as a: b::c : d = a/b = c/d where a and d are the extreme terms and b and c are the mean terms.

The proportional equation is given as y ∝ x

And , y = kx where k is the proportionality constant

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Given data ,

Let the proportion equation be represented as A and B

Now , for the last week's batch

Alec used 2 cups of sugar and 18 cups of berries

So , the ratio of sugar to berries is 2 : 18

The proportion is 2 / 18 = 0.1111

Now , for this week's batch

Alec used 4 cups of sugar and 30 cups of berries

So , the ratio of sugar to berries is 4 : 30

So , the proportion is 4 / 30 = 0.1333

Now , the proportion of 4 : 30 is greater than 2 : 18

Hence , this week's batch had a greater proportion

originally have?

Answers

This question above is incomplete

Complete Question

Jim had 103 red and blue marbles. After giving 2/5 of his blue marbles and 15 of his red marbles to Samantha, Jim had 3/7 as many red marbles as blue marbles. How many blue marbles did he have originally?

Answer:

70 Blue marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let red marbles = R

Blue marbles = B

Step 1

Jim had 103 red and blue marbles.

R + B = 103.......Equation 1

R = 103 - B

Step 2

After giving 2/5 of his blue marbles and 15 of his red marbles to Samantha, Jim had 3/7 as many red marbles as blue marbles

2/5 of B to Samantha

Jim has = B - 2/5B = 3/5B left

He also gave 15 red marbles to Samantha

= R - 15

The ratio of what Jim has left

= Red: Blue

= 3:7

= 3/7

Hence,

R - 15/(3/5)B = 3/7

Cross Multiply

7(R - 15) = 3(3/5B)

7R - 105 = 3(3B/5)

7R - 105 = 9B/5

Cross Multiply

5(7R - 105) = 9B

35R - 525 = 9B............ Equation 2

From Equation 1, we substitute 103 - B for R in Equation 2

35(103 - B) - 525 = 9B

3605 - 35B - 525 = 9B

Collect like terms

3605 - 525 = 9B + 35B

3080 = 44B

B = 3080/44

B = 70

Therefore, Jim originally had 70 Blue marbles.

Althea paid five dollars each for two bracelets and later sold each for $15. She paid eight dollars each for three bracelets and sold each of them for nine dollars. Write an expression that represents the profit Althea made.

Answers

Answer:

2(15 - 5) + 3(9 - 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit for each $5 bracelet: 15 - 5

Profit for 2 $5 bracelets: 2(15 - 5)

Profit for each $8 bracelet: 9 - 8

Profit for 3 $8 bracelets: 3(9 - 8)

Total profit: 2(15 - 5) + 3(9 - 8)

Answer:

2(-5)+3(-8)+2(15)+3(9)=23

Step-by-step explanation:

For this expression, every time she payed for something we will use a negative number, and whenever she sold it we will use a positive number.

Lets start off with what she payed for, she bought two 5 dollar bracelets, and three 8 dollar bracelets.

2(-5)+3(-8)

Now we will see what she sold. She sold two bracelets for 15 dollars, and then sold three bracelets for 9 dollars.

2(15)+3(9)

Now we combine these to find out her profit.

2(-5)+3(-8)+2(15)+3(9)=23

C) They both have the same y intercept
D) The relationship between y intercepts cannot be determined

Answers

Answer: D) relationship between y intercepts cannot be determined

The graph of f(x) is a vertical line. It is completely parallel to the y axis, so it never crosses the y axis. We need the graph to cross the y axis somewhere in order to form a y intercept. Therefore f(x) does not have a y intercept. So we cannot compare y intercepts if f(x) doesn't have one at all.

Answers

Answer:

B' is (3,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the original B coordinate pair, 6 is the y-coordinate.  When we talk about shifting images or points up or down, we will normally see a change in the y-coordinate.  In this case, the image is being translated 4 units down, so subtract 4 from 6 to get 2 as your y-ccoordinate for B'.  Since no horizontal shift is being made, the x-coordinate from the original B point stays the same and B' becomes (3,2).

Explain how to perform a two-sample z-test for the difference between two population means using independent samples with
σ1 and σ2 known.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  X1` be the mean of the first random sample of size n1 from a normal population with a mean u1 and known standard deviation σ1.Let  X2` be the mean of the second random sample of size n2 from another normal population with a mean u2 and known standard deviation σ2. Then the sampling distribution of the difference X1`-X2` is normally distributed with a mean of u1-u2 and a standard deviation of

[tex]\sqrt{ \frac{ s_1^2}{n_1^2} +\frac{ s_2^2}{n_2}[/tex] .  (here s1=σ1 and s2= σ2)  In other words the variable

Z= (X1`-X2`)- (u1-u2)/[tex]\sqrt{ \frac{ s_1^2}{n_1^2} +\frac{ s_2^2}{n_2}[/tex]   (here s1=σ1 and s2= σ2)

is exactly standard normal no matter how small sample sizes are . Hence it is used as a test statistic for testing hypotheses about the difference between two population means.

The procedure is stated below.

1) Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses.

2) Decide on significance level ∝

3) Use the test statistic Z= (X1`-X2`)- (u1-u2)/[tex]\sqrt{ \frac{ s_1^2}{n_1^2} +\frac{ s_2^2}{n_2}[/tex]   (here s1=σ1 and s2= σ2)

4) Find the rejection region

5)Compute the value of Z from the sample data

6) Rehect H0 if Z falls in the critical region, accept H0 , otherwise.

If the two solids shown have the same height and the same cross-sectional area at every level, then what is the radius of the oblique cylinder?​

Answers

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the two solids have the same height and same cross-sectional area at every level, this means that the radius of the oblique cylinder is the same as the radius of the right cylinder.

Since the radius of the right cylinder is 16/2=8, this means that the radius of the oblique cylinder must also be 8.

Algebraically, the area of the cross-section is given by:

[tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex]

If the areas of them are the same:

Answers

x = ((30 sqrt(1462809) + 36253)^(2/3) - 131)/(60 (30 sqrt(1462809) + 36253)^(1/3)) + 7/60 or x = 7/60 - 1/60 ((-1)/(30 sqrt(1462809) + 36253))^(1/3) (131 (-1)^(1/3) + (30 sqrt(1462809) + 36253)^(2/3)) or x = 1/60 (131 (-1/(36253 + 30 sqrt(1462809)))^(1/3) + (-1)^(2/3) (36253 + 30 sqrt(1462809))^(1/3)) + 7/60

see atachement it's more legible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(20 x^3 - 7 x^2 + 3 x - 7)/(-13 x^2 - 5) = 0

Hint: | Multiply both sides by a polynomial to clear fractions.

Multiply both sides by -13 x^2 - 5:

20 x^3 - 7 x^2 + 3 x - 7 = 0

Hint: | Look for a simple substitution that eliminates the quadratic term of 20 x^3 - 7 x^2 + 3 x - 7.

Eliminate the quadratic term by substituting y = x - 7/60:

-7 + 3 (y + 7/60) - 7 (y + 7/60)^2 + 20 (y + 7/60)^3 = 0

Hint: | Write the cubic polynomial on the left hand side in standard form.

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

20 y^3 + (131 y)/60 - 36253/5400 = 0

Hint: | Write the cubic equation in standard form.

Divide both sides by 20:

y^3 + (131 y)/1200 - 36253/108000 = 0

Hint: | Perform the substitution y = z + λ/z.

Change coordinates by substituting y = z + λ/z, where λ is a constant value that will be determined later:

-36253/108000 + (131 (z + λ/z))/1200 + (z + λ/z)^3 = 0

Hint: | Transform the rational equation into a polynomial equation.

Multiply both sides by z^3 and collect in terms of z:

z^6 + z^4 (3 λ + 131/1200) - (36253 z^3)/108000 + z^2 (3 λ^2 + (131 λ)/1200) + λ^3 = 0

Hint: | Find an appropriate value for λ in order to make the coefficients of z^2 and z^4 both zero.

Substitute λ = -131/3600 and then u = z^3, yielding a quadratic equation in the variable u:

u^2 - (36253 u)/108000 - 2248091/46656000000 = 0

Hint: | Solve for u.

Find the positive solution to the quadratic equation:

u = (36253 + 30 sqrt(1462809))/216000

Hint: | Perform back substitution on u = (36253 + 30 sqrt(1462809))/216000.

Substitute back for u = z^3:

z^3 = (36253 + 30 sqrt(1462809))/216000

Hint: | Take the cube root of both sides.

Taking cube roots gives 1/60 (36253 + 30 sqrt(1462809))^(1/3) times the third roots of unity:

z = 1/60 (36253 + 30 sqrt(1462809))^(1/3) or z = -1/60 (-36253 - 30 sqrt(1462809))^(1/3) or z = 1/60 (-1)^(2/3) (36253 + 30 sqrt(1462809))^(1/3)

Hint: | Perform back substitution with y = z - 131/(3600 z).

Substitute each value of z into y = z - 131/(3600 z):

y = 1/60 (30 sqrt(1462809) + 36253)^(1/3) - 131/(60 (30 sqrt(1462809) + 36253)^(1/3)) or y = -1/60 (-30 sqrt(1462809) - 36253)^(1/3) - (131 (-1)^(2/3))/(60 (30 sqrt(1462809) + 36253)^(1/3)) or y = 131/60 ((-1)/(30 sqrt(1462809) + 36253))^(1/3) + 1/60 (-1)^(2/3) (30 sqrt(1462809) + 36253)^(1/3)

Hint: | Simplify each solution.

Bring each solution to a common denominator and simplify:

y = ((30 sqrt(1462809) + 36253)^(2/3) - 131)/(60 (36253 + 30 sqrt(1462809))^(1/3)) or y = -1/60 (-1/(36253 + 30 sqrt(1462809)))^(1/3) ((30 sqrt(1462809) + 36253)^(2/3) + 131 (-1)^(1/3)) or y = 1/60 (131 ((-1)/(30 sqrt(1462809) + 36253))^(1/3) + (-1)^(2/3) (30 sqrt(1462809) + 36253)^(1/3))

Hint: | Perform back substitution on the three roots.

Substitute back for x = y + 7/60:

Answer: x = ((30 sqrt(1462809) + 36253)^(2/3) - 131)/(60 (30 sqrt(1462809) + 36253)^(1/3)) + 7/60 or x = 7/60 - 1/60 ((-1)/(30 sqrt(1462809) + 36253))^(1/3) (131 (-1)^(1/3) + (30 sqrt(1462809) + 36253)^(2/3)) or x = 1/60 (131 (-1/(36253 + 30 sqrt(1462809)))^(1/3) + (-1)^(2/3) (36253 + 30 sqrt(1462809))^(1/3)) + 7/60
