Haleigh decides that instead of throwing away old candles, she can use the last bit of wax combined together to make new candles. Each candle has 10% of it's original wax left. How many 5 ounce candles can she make if she has five 20 oz candles, 5 five ounce candles, and twenty-five one-ounce candles?

Answers

Answer 1

We cannot have a fractional number of candles, Haleigh can make a maximum of 2 five-ounce candles using the available wax from the 20-ounce and 1-ounce candles.

To determine the number of 5-ounce candles Haleigh can make using the remaining wax from her existing candles, we need to calculate the total amount of wax available and divide it by the amount of wax needed for each 5-ounce candle.

Let's calculate the total amount of wax available:

The five 20-ounce candles have 10% of their original wax remaining, so each candle has 2 ounces of wax left.

Therefore, the total wax from the five 20-ounce candles is 5 candles [tex]\times[/tex] 2 ounces = 10 ounces.

The five 5-ounce candles already have wax, so we don't need to consider them.

The twenty-five 1-ounce candles have 10% of their original wax remaining, so each candle has 0.1 ounces of wax left.

Therefore, the total wax from the twenty-five 1-ounce candles is 25 candles * 0.1 ounces = 2.5 ounces.

Adding up the wax from the 20-ounce and 1-ounce candles, we have a total of 10 ounces + 2.5 ounces = 12.5 ounces of wax available.

To determine how many 5-ounce candles can be made, we divide the total available wax by the amount of wax needed for each 5-ounce candle:

Number of 5-ounce candles = Total available wax / Wax needed per 5-ounce candle

Number of 5-ounce candles = 12.5 ounces / 5 ounces

Number of 5-ounce candles ≈ 2.5 candles.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1/7 divided by -2 2/3

= 1/7 divided by -8/3 (changed the mixed number to an improper fraction!)

= 1/7 MULTIPLIED by -3/8 (when you divide a fraction, you must switch the sign opposite to what you are doing, in this case dividing, so the opposite of that is multiplying. You also flip the fraction that you are dividing by so -8/3 becomes -3/8)

= -3/56 (a positive times a negative number will result in a negative number!)

Solve for y.

25 = y2

y =
or

Answers

Answer:

y=5 or y=−5 it does not matter either one

Step-by-step explanation:

25=y2

Step 1: Subtract y^2 from both sides.

25−y2=y2−y2

−y2+25=0

Step 2: Subtract 25 from both sides.

−y2+25−25=0−25

−y2=−25

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

−y2

−1

=

−25

−1

y2=25

Step 4: Take square root.

y=±√25

y=5 or y=−5

Answer:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

25 =  [tex]y^{2}[/tex]

Step 1: Subtract y^2 from both sides.

25 − [tex]y^{2}[/tex] = [tex]y^{2}[/tex] − [tex]y^{2}[/tex]

−[tex]y^{2}[/tex]+ 25 = 0

Step 2: Subtract 25 from both sides.

−[tex]y^{2}[/tex]+ 25 − 25 = 0 − 25

−[tex]y^{2}[/tex] = − 25

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

[tex]y^{2}[/tex]  / −1  =  −25  / −1

[tex]y^{2}[/tex] =25

Step 4: Take square root.

y = ± √25

y = 5 or y = −5

Answer:

y = 5 or y = −5

Andrea Drew the Number line below. She said that 9/8 and 1 equal. Explain Error

Answers

Answer:

Her error was that 1 and 9/8 are not equal. 9/8 is 1/8 larger than 1 is, and therefore can not be equivalent to 1.

On the number line 9/8 and 1 are not equal, since 9/8 =1.125 which is greater than 1.

What is number line?

A number line is a visual representation of numbers on a straight line. This line is used to compare numbers that are placed at equal intervals on an infinite line that extends on both sides, horizontally or vertically.

Given that, on the number line Andrea Drew marked 9/8 and 1 and she said  that they are equal.

Here, 9/8 =1.125

1.125>1

Therefore, on the number line 9/8 and 1 are not equal, since 9/8 =1.125 which is greater than 1.

Sinxy = x² + 2xy​

Answers

Answer:

    [tex]\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2x +2 y- ycosxy}{x(cosxy-2)}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given

        sin xy = x² + 2xy ...(i)

Apply

       [tex]\frac{d}{dx} UV = U^{l} V + U V^{l}[/tex]

     [tex]\frac{d}{dx} x^{n} = nx^{n-1}[/tex]

Differentiating equation (i) with respective to 'x', we get

      [tex]cosxy \frac{d}{dx} (xy) = 2x + 2( x\frac{dy}{dx} + y(1))[/tex]

      [tex]cosxy (x\frac{dy}{dx} +y(1)) = 2x + 2( x\frac{dy}{dx} + y(1))[/tex]

     [tex]cosxy (x\frac{dy}{dx}) + ycosxy = 2x + 2( x\frac{dy}{dx}) +2 y)[/tex]

   [tex]cosxy (x\frac{dy}{dx}) - 2( x\frac{dy}{dx}) = 2x +2 y- ycosxy[/tex]

   [tex](cosxy-2) (x\frac{dy}{dx}) = 2x +2 y- ycosxy[/tex]
