of the fruits at a warehouse were apples and the remaining fruits were oranges. There were 291 more red apples than green apples and there were 3455 oranges in the warehouse. How many red apples were there?

Answers

Answer:

491 red apples

Step-by-step explanation:

1/6 are apples

then 5/6 are oranges

red apples = green apples + 291

there are 3455 oranges

total amount of fruits is :

3455 / (5/6) = (3455 x 6)/5 = 4146

4146 - 3455 = 691 apples ( total )

so red + green = 691

and red - green = 291

add the two equations

red + red + green - green = 691 + 291

2red = 982

red = 982 / 2 = 491 red apples

green = 691 - 491 = 200 green apples

so red is 291 more than green

then red = 491

The length of a rectangle is 3 inches more than it’s width.If the perimeter is 42 inches,find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer: Length = 9 in

Width = 12 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Length L = 3 + W

Perimeter P = 42 in

Perimeter = 2L + 2W

plugin values:

42 = 2(3 + W) + 2W

42 = 6 + 2W + 2W

42-6 = 4W

W = 36 / 4

W = 9  

solve L by substituting the value of W=9 into the equation:

L = 3 + W

L = 3 + 9

L = 12

therefore, the dimensions of the rectangle:

               Length = 9 in

               Width = 12 in

You need to buy insulation to cover the inside of a shipping container. The container is a rectangular prism that is 15 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 7 feet high. How much insulation do you need to buy if you want to insulate all the inside surfaces of the shipping container except the floor?

Answers

Answer:

  442 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of insulation needed is the amount that covers the area of the side walls and the ceiling. The area of the side walls is the product of the perimeter and height. The area of the ceiling is the product of length and width.

__

Lateral area = Ph = 2(L+W)h = 2(15 ft +8 ft)(7 ft) = 322 ft²

Ceiling area = LW = (15 ft)(8 ft) = 120 ft²

__

Insulation needed = lateral area + ceiling area = 322 ft² +120 ft²

Insulation needed = 442 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us call x the smallest integer. Because the next two numbers are consecutive even integers, we can call represent them as x + 2 and x + 4. We are told the sum of x, x+2, and x+4 is equal to 72.

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 72

3x + 6 = 72

3x = 66

x = 22.

This means that the integers are 22, 24, and 26. The question asks us for the product of these numbers, which is 22(24)(26) = 13728.

The following refers to a purchase of a machine by a company on January 1, 2021:

Salvage Value: $7,500

Life: 6 years

Desired Rate of Return 4%

Interest Compounded: semi-annually

Maximum amount the company can pay $32,348



What is the semi-annual net cash flow the company must achieve in order for the purchase to be made?

Answers

The semi-annual net cash flow that the company must achieve in order for the purchase to be made is $5041.

How to calculate the cash flow?

Maximum amount that can be invested = $32348.

Less: Present value of salvage value = $5927

Present value of cash inflow = $32348 - $5927 = $26421.

Net cash flow will be:

= $26421 / PV factor

= $26421/5.242

= $5041

The area enclosed by the graphs of y = 1/x, y = 1, and x = 3 is rotated about the line y = -1. Find the volume and show steps.

Answers

Answer:

9.852

Step-by-step explanation:

First, Graph all three functions and find where they intersect and the shape that they make through their intersection. Note that since the shape does not touch the y= -1 line, we will use the "washer" method (where the volume equals  [tex]\pi\int\limits^a_b {R(x)\x^{2} - r(x)^{2} } \, dx[/tex].

The next step is to find a and b. Since the function that the area is going to be rotated about is a " y =" equations, the boundaries will be the x coordinates where the three functions intersect, b=1 for (1,1) and a=3 for (3,1).

Next we have to find R(x) and r(x). In this case, R(x) is the difference between the function furthest away from the axis of rotation and the function of the axis of rotation (or visa versa depending on which is on top), and r(x) is the difference between the function closest to the axis of rotation and the function of the axis of rotation (or visa versa depending on which is on top.

For this problem R(x) = 1 - (-1) and r(x) = 1/x - (-1) since when you look at the graph, Y = 1  is further from y = -1 than y = 1/x is, and both functions are on top of y = -1.

Finally plug in R(x) and r(x) and solve either using a calculator or through integration. If you solve through integration you should get [tex]\pi (-2ln(3) + \frac{16}{3} )[/tex].

The height of the right circular cylinder with volume of 500π cubic centimetre and radius of 5 centimetre is 20 cm.

Volume of a cylinder

volume = πr²h

where

r = radiush = height

Therefore,

volume = 500π cm³

r = 5 cm

Therefore,

volume of the cylinder = πr²h

500π = 5²πh

500π = 25πh

divide both sides by 25π

500π / 25π = 25πh / 25π

You are mixing two kinds of candy to make 10 pounds of a mixture worth $5.50 per pound. One kind is $6 per pound and the other is $4 per pound. How many pounds of each should you use? Show all your work.​

Answers

Answer:

5.60 pounds each

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the dry mixture problem.

Let x = the number of pounds of the first type of candy

Therefore, number of pounds of second type of candy = 10-x

Value of first candy + value of second candy = value of mixture

Value of any candy = cost per pound of candy * weight of candy

Thus:

4x + 6(10 - x) = 5.60(10)

4x + 60 - 6x = 56

-2x + 60 = 56

-2x = -4

x = -4/-2

x = 2

Therefore, the number of pounds of first type of candy = 2 pounds

The number of pounds of second type of candy = 10 - 2 = 8 pounds

Check

$4(2) + $6(8) =

           8 + 48 = $5.60(10)

Equation of a circle:   [tex]\sf (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2[/tex]

(where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius)

Substituting found center (-2, 2) into the equation of a circle:

[tex]\sf \implies (x-(-2))^2+(y-2)^2=r^2[/tex]

[tex]\sf \implies (x+2)^2+(y-2)^2=r^2[/tex]

To find [tex]\sf r^2[/tex], simply substitute one of the points into the equation and solve:

ln (V/V0) = - k t

If 15 percent of cars are blue and an observer's observation is 80 percent accurate, what is the probability that a car is, in fact, blue when the witness reports it as blue

Answers

The probability that a car is blue is the likelihood of the car being blue

The probability that a car is, in fact, blue when the witness reports it as blue is 12%

How to determine the probability?

The given parameters are:

P(Blue) = 15%

P(Accurate) = 80%

The probability that a car is blue, and the observation is accurate is calculated as:

P(Blue and Accurate) = P(Blue) * P(Accurate)

This gives

P(Blue and Accurate) = 15% * 80%

Evaluate the product

P(Blue and Accurate) = 12%

Hence, the probability that a car is, in fact, blue when the witness reports it as blue is 12%
