Suppose you work for a large coffee distributor that has a secret coffee blend it sells to local stores. You
mix the Tanzanian blend with the Queen City blend, but always in the same proportion. Yesterday, you
mixed 40 pounds of the Tanzanian blend with 8 pounds of the Queen City blend. Today, there is 20 pounds
of the Tanzanian coffee left in stock. How many pounds of the Queen City coffee should you mix with it to
get your secret blend?

Answers

Answer 1

Quantity of Tanzanian blend used in my secret coffee blend = 40 pounds

Quantity of Queen city blend used in my secret coffee blend = 8 pounds

The ratio of Tanzanian blend to Queen city blend in my coffee blend = 40 : 8

Quantity of Tanzanian blend with me = 20 pounds

Quantity of Queen city bend needed to make my secret coffee blend =

Let the quantity of Queen city blend I will need be x .

[tex] \frac{40}{8} = \frac{20}{x} [/tex]

[tex]8 \times 20 = 40 \times x[/tex]

[tex]160 = 40x[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{160}{40} [/tex]

[tex]x = 4[/tex]

Therefore , I need to mix 4 pounds of queen city blend with my 20 pounds of Tanzanian blend to get my secret coffee blend .

Answer 2

4 pounds of  the Queen City coffee should you mix with it to get your secret blend.

What is Ratio?

A ratio is an ordered pair of numbers a and b, written a / b where b does not equal 0.

Given that,

Yesterday If we mixed 40 pounds of the Tanzanian blend with 8 pounds of the Queen City blend.

In the same proportion, today there is 20 pounds of the Tanzanian coffee left in stock.

We need to calculate how many pounds of the Queen City coffee should you mix with it to get your secret blend.

Let x be the pounds of the Queen City coffee should you mix with it

Let us form a equation

40/8=20/x

Apply cross multiplication

40x=160

Divide both sides by 40

x=4

Hence 4 pounds of  the Queen City coffee should you mix with it to

get your secret blend.

Write an equation for the line that passes through (2,5) and (6,7)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x+4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope of the line first using the slope formula:

[tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Substitute the two given points into this formula.

[tex]\frac{7-5}{6-2} =\frac{2}{4} =\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Now that you have a slope and a point that the line passes through, you can use the point-slope formula to find the equation of the line.

Point-slope formula:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

Substitute m = 1/2 for the slope and one of the points; I'm going to use (2, 5).

[tex]y-(5)=\frac{1}{2} (x-(2))[/tex]

Simplify the equation so it's easier to read.

[tex]y-5=\frac{1}{2} (x-2)[/tex]

Distribute 1/2 inside the parentheses.

[tex]y-5=\frac{1}{2}x-1[/tex]

Add 5 both sides of the equation.

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x+4[/tex]

Answer:

The slope is the change in y over the change in x.

(7-5) / (6-2) = 2 / 4 = 1 / 2

In y = mx + b, we know y, m, and x. Now solve for b:

Let's use the point (2, 5).

5 = (1/2)(2) + b

5= 1 + b

b = 4

Now put it together:

y = (1/2)x + 4

Una caja contiene 448 mascarillas, las cuales se deben acomodar en 3 cajas más pequeñas. En la primera se deben poner ; 1/8, del total, en la segunda 3/8 y en la tercera 4/8 ¿Cuántas mascarillas van en cada caja y cuántas quedan en la caja original?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Si una caja contiene 448 cajas y debe acomodarse en tres cajas más pequeñas, si la primera contiene 1/8 del total, entonces el número de cajas en la primera será:

[tex]= \frac{1}{8}\times 448\\ = \frac{448}{8}\\ = \frac{8\times56}{8}\\ = 56[/tex]

Por lo tanto, la primera caja contiene 56 cajas más pequeñas.

Si el segundo contiene 3/8 del total, entonces el número de casillas en el segundo será:

[tex]= \frac{3}{8}\times 448\\ = \frac{3\times448}{8}\\ = \frac{8\times 3 \times 56}{8}\\ = 3 \times56\\= 168[/tex]

Por lo tanto, la segunda caja contiene 168 cajas más pequeñas.

Si el tercero contiene 4/8 del total, entonces el número de casillas en el tercero será:

[tex]= \frac{4}{8}\times 448\\ = \frac{1}{2} \times 448\\ = 224[/tex]

Por lo tanto, la tercera caja contiene 224 cajas más pequeñas.

La cantidad que quede en la casilla original se expresará como

= 448- (56 + 168 + 224)

= 448-448

= 0

Por lo tanto, no quedó ninguno en la caja original.

Hay dos números naturales consecutivos y la suma del cuadrado de esos números es 221¿cuáles serán esos números?

Answers

Let x and x+1 be the consecutive integers.

The sum of squares is:

Expand second term:
x² + x² + 2x + 1 = 221

2x² + 2x + 1 = 221
Subtract 221 from both sides to make quadratic form:
2x² + 2x - 220 = 0

Answer:

2, 3 and 4 represent the graph in the pic

Step-by-step explanation:

When you look at the graph, you can immediately tell the gradient and the y-intercept. The gradient is 1/2 and the y-intercept is -1

Hence the graph in the picture follows the formula: y = 1/2x - 1

When you expand/rearrange the options (1-5) into the slope form you would be able to see which of these options matches with the formula of the line.

1. y= 2x-1: Isn't the same as the equation of the line in the pic

2. Rearrange:

-2y = -x + 2        (divide both sides by 2)

y = x/2 - 1          (x/2 = 1/2x, its the same thing)

3. y= 1/2x - 1       (this is the formula of the line)

4. Expand right-hand-side:

y + 3 = 1/2x + 2    (rearrange)

y = 1/2x - 1            (this is the formula of the line)

5. Expand right-hand-side

y - 2 = 1/2x - 1      (rearrange)

y = 1/2x + 1          (is not the formula of the equation)

So it’s 12x+7

Answer:

12x +7

Step-by-step explanation:

First determine what numbers are coefficients. Because 3 and 4 don't have a variable in them, we know they are coefficients. You can then add them together to get 7. After that, we see that 5x and 7x both share the variable x. Because they share the same variable you can add them together to get 12x. Because 12x and 7 don't have the same variable you cannot add them together. This means that 12x + 7 is your final answer.

If you want a return of 17 percent, how much will you pay for the stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.G., 32.16.) b. If you want a return of 10 percent, how much will you pay for the stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.G., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a. If you want a return of 17 percent, how much will you pay for the stock?

The price of the stock can be calculated as:

= dividend next year/(required return - growth rate)

= 4.4/(17% - 5%)

= 4.4/12%

= 4.4/0.12

= 36.67

b. If you want a return of 10 percent, how much will you pay for the stock?

At 10%

= 4.4/(10% - 5%)

= 4.4/5%

= 4.4/0.05

= 88

Answers

Given:

Two dice are rolled together.

Total number of possible outcomes.

To find:

The list of total possible outcomes.

The probability of getting a sum of 11 in these outcomes.

The probability of getting a sum less than or equal to 4.

The probability of getting a sum of 13 or more.

Solution:

If two dice are rolled together, then the total number of possible outcomes is 36 and list of total possible outcomes is

S = {(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)}

Sum of 11 in these outcomes = {(5,6),(6,5),(6,6)} = 3

The probability of getting a sum of 11 in these outcomes is

[tex]P(\text{sum=11})=\dfrac{3}{36}[/tex]

[tex]P(\text{sum=11})=\dfrac{1}{12}[/tex]

Therefore, the probability of getting a sum of 11 in these outcomes is [tex]\dfrac{1}{12}[/tex].

Sum less than or equal to 4 = {(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(2,1),(2,2),(3,1)} = 6

The probability of getting a sum less than or equal to 4 is

[tex]P({sum\leq 4})=\dfrac{6}{36}[/tex]

[tex]P({sum\leq 4})=\dfrac{1}{6}[/tex]

Therefore, the probability of getting a sum less than or equal to 4 is [tex]\dfrac{1}{6}[/tex].

Sum of 13 or more = empty set because maximum sum is 12.

The probability of getting a sum of 13 or more is

[tex]P(sum\geq 13)=\dfrac{0}{36}[/tex]

[tex]P({sum\geq 13})=0[/tex]

Therefore, the probability of getting a sum of 13 or more is 0.

Cindy deposited $350 into a savings account. As long as the account balance remains at or above $200, she does not have to pay a service fee for the account. For how long can she withdraw $30 a month without having to pay service fees? A) 5 months B) 6 months C) 7 months D) 8 months E) 9 months

Answers

Answer:

5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Cindy deposited $350 into a savings account

The acct balance remains above $200

We are required to find the number of months that it will take to $30 a month

Let y represent the number of months

y × 30 < 350-200

30y < 150

Divide both sides by the coefficient of y which is 30

30y/30 < 150/30

y < 5

Hence the number of months required is 5 months

If Courtney paid a total of $27.93 to download songs, which includes $2.06 for tax, how many songs did she download at a cost of $1.99 per song?

Answers

Answer:

13 songs.

Step-by-step explanation:

$27.93 - $2.06 = $25.87 in order to get the price of the songs before the tax.

Since each song cost $1.99, $25.87 divided by $1.99 is equal to 13

Answer:

13 songs

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost of the songs is $27.93, including the tax. The tax cost should be removed from the total cost to find how many songs Courtney downloaded because she didn't pay $2.06 for the songs.

[tex]27.93 - 2.06 = 25.87[/tex]

The cost of all the songs is $25.87. Each one costs $1.99 so, to find how many songs she bought, the cost of each song should be divided from the total cost.

[tex]25.87 \div 1.99 = 13[/tex]

A. 40

B. 72

C. 80

D. 100

E. 120

Let

x = the intended distance

y = length of the pool

She covers one fifth of her intended distance

Distance covered = 1/5 of x

= x/5

After swimming six more lengths of the pool she had covered one quarter of her intended distance

x/5 + 6y = 1/4 of x

x/5 + 6y = x/4

Collect like terms

6y = x/4 - x/5

6y = 5x - 4x/20

6y = x/20

x = 20 * 6y

= 120y

x = 120y

The intended distance Rebecca wants to cover = 120
