Answers

Answer 1

Using proportions, the cost of the 17-ounce sundae is of $5.95.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

Considering the 12-ounce sundae bought for $4.2, the cost per ounce is given by the following proportion:

$4.2/12 = $0.35.

Hence the cost of a 17-ounce sundae is:

$0.35 x 17 = $5.95.

The family needs yards of fencing for their pool.

Answers

The total amount of fencing they need = 38x + 10.

Perimeter for the rectangular fencing of the home = 160 yards

Perimeter for the square fencing of the pool = 40 yards

What is the Perimeter of a Rectangle and a Square?

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)

Perimeter of a square = 4(side length).

Perimeter for the rectangular fencing of the home = 2(3 + 10x + 2 + 5x) = 2(15x + 5) = 30x + 10

Perimeter for the square fencing of the pool = 4(2x) = 8x

The total amount of fencing they need = 30x + 10 + 8x = 38x + 10.

If x = 5, then:

Perimeter for the rectangular fencing of the home = 30x + 10 = 30(5) + 10 = 160 yards

1b. the circumfrence of a circle is C (Circumfrence)=[tex]2\pi r[/tex] so replace radius for 12 and then do 3.14(pi) x 2 which will get you 6.28 times 6.28 by 12 and you will get 75.36.

N a carton of a dozen eggs of which four are cracked, how many ways could you select 3 cracked and 2 good if you randomly select 5 eggs

Answers

The number of ways we can select 3 cracked and 2 good is 1200 ways.

Given there are 5 eggs in which 3 eggs are cracked and 2 eggs which are good.

We have to find the number of ways we can select 3 cracked and 2 good eggs from 5 eggs.

Number of ways can be found through permutations.

The factorial of n  equals the product of n with the smaller factorial..

Permutations is the technique of calculating  various ways in which objects from a set may be selected, generally without replacement, to form subsets.

n[tex]P_{r}[/tex]=n!/(n-r)!

So the number of ways will be 5[tex]P_{3}[/tex]*5[tex]P_{2}[/tex]

([tex]5P_{3}[/tex] for cracked eggs and [tex]5C_{2}[/tex] for good eggs)

=5!/(5-3)!*51/(5-2)!

=5*4*3*2!/2!*5*4*3!/3!

=5*4*3*5*4

=1200

Hence there are 1200 ways through which 3 cracked and 2 good eggs can be selected from 5 eggs.

A simple main effect analysis looks at the mean difference at each level of the independent variable.

Given With a simple main effect, the analysis examines.

Simple effects are also called the main effects of design of experiments. The main effect can be defined as the effect of the explanatory variables measured on a particular criterion or response variable of the study. It's easy to say that what happens within the level of the explanatory variables is the difference. In a factorial experiment, the simple main effect is that one independent variable is at a specified level of another. The main effect of one independent variable is averaged across the levels of the other independent variable. For a simple main effect, the results are analyzed as if a separate experiment was performed at each level of the other independent variables.

Therefore, a simple main effect analysis looks at the mean difference at each level of the independent variable.

The median value of x is 2.

According to the statement

we have given the values of x at some points then

and we have to find the median for the x.

We know that the median formula is {(n + 1) ÷ 2}th, where “n” is the number of items in the set and “th” just means the (n)th number.

and after put the values in this formula we get our median value for x.

So,

we have given that the f(x) is 0.2 when x is from -1 to 0

and f(x) is 0.2 +1.2x when x is grater than 0 but less than 1

and f(x) is 0 when x is less than -1 or grater than 1

From these statements it is clear that the the f(x) is only exist when the x lies in between from the -1 to 1.

So, the total value of x becomes is -1,0,1

Then according to the median formula

median = (n + 1) ÷ 2

median = (3+1) / 2

median = 2.

So, The median value of x is 2.

Answer: x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines are parallel, which you can tell by the two arrows. 4x-8 is a corresponding angle to 3x+3, meaning they are congruent.

4x-8 = 3x+3

x=11

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

these angles are corresponding angles so they are equal to each other.

4x - 8 = 3x + 3 Subtract 2x from both sides

x - 8 = 3   Add 8 to both sides

x = 11

Plug 11 back into the equations find the angle measurements

4(11) -8 = 36 degrees

3(11) + 3 =  36degrees

STORIES OF USEFUL INVENTIONS, excerptBy S. E. Forman1911THE MATCH(There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.)Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by natureby a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.

Even as he touched it, the general sensed his danger and leaped back with the agility of an ape. But he was not quite quick enough; the dead tree, delicately adjusted to rest on the cut living one, crashed down and struck the general a glancing blow on the shoulder as it fell; but for his alertness, he must have been smashed beneath it. He staggered, but he did not fall; nor did he drop his revolver. He stood there, rubbing his injured shoulder, and Rainsford, with fear again gripping his heart, heard the general's mocking laugh ring through the jungle.Compare the film adaptation of the scene to the text.Which analysis best explains the effect of adding the female character to the scene in the film adaptation?She advances the plot.
