Jane has a pile of 6 books. Together, the books weigh 4 pounds. If the books are
similar in weight, about how much does each book weigh?


Btw the answers not 2 lbs bc 2lb x 6 = 10 lbs and it needs to equal 4 lbs.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] lbs per book

Step-by-step explanation:

     We can divide 4 pounds by the total number of books, 6, to find out how much each book weighs.

     4 lbs / 6 books = [tex]\frac{4/2}{6/2}=\frac{2}{3}[/tex] lbs

Each book weighs [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] lbs

2/3 is equal to about 0.667

Another thing I wanted to note, 2 lbs * 6 = 12 lbs, not 10 lbs.

Answer:

x ≤ 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write inequality

x - 9 ≤ 2(9 - x)

Step 2: Solve for x

Distribute 2: x - 9 ≤ 18 - 2xAdd 2x on both sides: 3x - 9 ≤ 18Add 9 to both sides: 3x ≤ 27Divide both sides by 3: x ≤ 9

Here we see that any solution less than or equal to 9 would work.

Answer:

x ≤ 9

Step-by-step explanation:

x -9 ≤ 2(9 -x)    

x -9 ≤ 18 -2x

+2x         +2x

3x -9 ≤ 18

    +9    +9

3x  ≤ 27

Many utility companies promote energy conservation by offering discount rates to consumers who keep their energy usage below certain established subsidy standards. A recent report notes that 20% of island residents of a country have reduced their electricity usage sufficiently to qualify for discounted rates. If five residential subscribers are randomly selected from a city on this island find the probability of each of the following events.

a. All five qualify for the favorable rate
b. At least four qualify for the favorable rates

Answers

Answer: a. 0.00032    B. 0.00672

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Proportion of  island residents of a country have reduced their electricity usage (p) = 20%= 0.20

Here, residents have two choices either reduced electricity usage or not , hence it follows binomial distribution

Let X be a binomial variable that represents the number of successes .

Binomial distribution formula:

[tex]P(X)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex], n= sample size.

a.

[tex]P(X=5) = ^5C_5(0.20)^5(1-0.20)^{5-5}=(1)(0.20)^5(1)\\\\=0.00032[/tex]

b. [tex]P(X\geq4)=P(4)+P(5)[/tex]

[tex]^5C_4(0.20)^4(1-0.20)^{5-4}+0.00032\\\\=(5)(0.20)^4(0.80)+0.00032\\\\=0.0064+0.00032\\\\=0.00672[/tex]

is 5/10 equivalent to 1/6​

Answers

Answer:

No, its not equivalent

1/2 is equivalent though

Please mark as brainliest

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

[tex]\frac{5}{10}[/tex]

You can prove 5/10 isn't equivalent to 1/6 by simply reducing 5/10.

[tex]\frac{5}{10}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{10}\div5=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2} > \frac{1}{6}[/tex]

5/10 isn't equivalent to 1/6, so your answer is "no."

Answer:

The biggest differentiating factor between a function and NOT a function

is that a function gives only one output for any given input. so no matter how many times you use the same value in the function, you will get the same output

A relation which is not a function will have 2 or more outputs for a single input

So if we have more than 1 similar input values in the table and given them different outputs, the relation will NOT be a function

I will take 2 similar inputs "1" and give them different outputs, the rest of the table can be randomly filled

We are given 2(60⁰) and 5(70⁰)

so,

60⁰+3+70⁰=180⁰

60+70=130

130⁰+3=180⁰

Bring the 130⁰ to the R.H.S

3=180⁰-130⁰
