Pete read 2/5 of his book on the first day and 1/4 of his book on the second day. What fraction of the book Pete has left to read after two days of reading

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:   7/20

=========================================================

Work Shown:

2/5 = 8/20 .... multiply top and bottom by 4

1/4 = 5/20 ..... multiply top and bottom by 5

The fractions 2/5 and 1/4 are equivalent to 8/20 and 5/20 in that order.

These new equivalent fractions add to 8/20+5/20 = (8+5)/20 = 13/20

After two days, Pete has read 13/20 of the book.

This leaves 1 - (13/20) = 20/20 - 13/20 = (20-13)/20 = 7/20 of the book left to be read.

Note how 13/20 + 7/20 = (13+7)/20 = 20/20 = 1

Question 5 options:

1)

No solution

2)

One solution

3)

Two solutions

4)

Infinite solutions

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

No solution. Lines M and P have the same slope but different y-intercepts., so they are parallel lines.

Parallel lines don’t intersect each other, so there is no solution.

The answer is option 1)No solution

both equations have same slope and different y intercepts so they are parallel, parallels always have no solution

(10-3)x(3-2^5) Use pemdas.

Answers

Answer:

-203

Step-by-step explanation:

(10−3)×(3−2^5 )

Subtract 3 from 10 to get 7.

7(3−2^5 )

Calculate 2 to the power of 5 and get 32.

7(3−32)

Subtract 32 from 3 to get −29.

7(−29)

Multiply 7 and −29 to get −203.

−203

Pemdas (parenthesis, exponents, multiply, divide, add and subtract)
So first we start with the parenthesis
(10-3) which is 7 and
(3-2^5) since exponents is next it would be (3-32) which is -29
So now we have 7 x -29 which is -203

BCD is a straight line.
ABC is a triangle.
Show that triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle.
Give a reason for each stage of your working.

Answers

It’s an isosceles triangle because angle A is equal to angle C (63deg). This is calculated by 180 - 117 = 63 degrees.
Using the exterior angle is equal to the interior angles property, angle A is equal to 117 - 54 (which is 63).
Because these two angles are equal to eachother, the triangle is isosceles.
Hope this helps and please mark me brainliest

Yes, Triangle ΔABC is an isosceles triangle.

What are the properties of Triangle?

The properties of the triangle are:

The sum of all the angles of a triangle (of all types) is equal to 180°. The sum of the length of the two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. In the same way, the difference between the two sides of a triangle is less than the length of the third side.

We can prove that triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle using the fact that BCD is a straight line, and the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

First, we note that the angles of triangle ABC add up to 180 degrees:

∠ABC + ∠ACB + ∠BAC = 180 degrees

Since ∠ACD and ∠ACB are adjacent angles, we know that:

∠ACD + ∠ACB = 180 degrees

Substituting the value of ∠ACD (117 degrees) into this equation gives:

117 degrees + ∠ACB = 180 degrees

Simplifying, we get:

∠ACB = 63 degrees

Now we can rewrite the equation for the sum of the angles of triangle ABC as:

∠ABC + 63 degrees + ∠BAC = 180 degrees

Substituting the value of ∠ABC (54 degrees) and simplifying, we get:

∠BAC = 63 degrees

Since ∠ABC = ∠BAC, we have shown that triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle.

Reasoning:

The angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.Adjacent angles on a straight line add up to 180 degrees.Substituting the value of ∠ACD into the equation for adjacent angles on a straight line gives ∠ACB = 63 degrees.Substituting the value of ∠ABC and simplifying the equation for the sum of the angles of triangle ABC gives ∠BAC = 63 degrees.Since ∠ABC = ∠BAC, triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle.

2x^2 - 6x + 7x - 21

reduce

2x^2 + x - 21

if this is equal to 0 then:

How that was done:

Divide the (2x^2) into (2x) and (x).

A restaurant serves hot chocolate that has a mean temperature of 175 degrees with a standard deviation of 8.1 degrees. Find the probability that a randomly selected cup of hot chocolate would have a temperature of less than 161 degrees. Would this outcome warrant a replacement cup (meaning that it would be unusual)

Answers

Answer: The probability that a randomly selected cup of hot chocolate would have a temperature of less than 161 degrees =0.042

This outcome would warrant a replacement cup.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a random variable that represents the temperature of hot chocolates.

GIven: Mean temperature = 175 degrees

standard deviation = 8.1 degrees

The probability that a randomly selected cup of hot chocolate would have a temperature of less than 161 degrees =[tex]P(x<161)[/tex]

[tex]=P(\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}<\dfrac{161-175}{8.1})\\\\=P(Z<-1.7284) [Z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}]\\\\=1-P(Z<1.7284)\\\\=1-0.9580\\\\=0.042[/tex]

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected cup of hot chocolate would have a temperature of less than 161 degrees =0.042 < 0.5 (unusual)

i.e. this outcome would warrant a replacement cup.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = \frac{|x|}{x}[/tex]

Step 2: Graph/Evaluate

Graph the function so we can evaluate the given limits. See attachment.

We see from the function that when we approach 0 from the left, we will get a -1.

∴ [tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x) = -1[/tex]

We see from the function that when we approach 0 from the right, we will get a 1.

∴ [tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x) = 1[/tex]

Since the limit from the left does not equal the limit from the right, the limit as x approaches 0 of f(x) does not exist (DNE).

The sum of two numbers is 55. The large number is 13 more than the smaller number. What are the numbers?

Answers

Answer:

x = 34

y = 21

thus the two numbers are 34 and 21...

The smaller number is 21, and the larger number is 34 when the sum of two numbers is 55. The large number is 13 more than the smaller number.

Let's assume the smaller number is represented by x.

According to the given information, the larger number is 13 more than the smaller number. So, the larger number can be represented as (x + 13).

The sum of the two numbers is 55. We can set up the equation:

x + (x + 13) = 55

Simplifying the equation:

2x + 13 = 55

Subtracting 13 from both sides:

2x = 42

Dividing both sides by 2:

x = 21

Now that we have found the value of x (the smaller number), we can find the larger number by substituting it back into the expression (x + 13):

Larger number = x + 13 = 21 + 13 = 34

Therefore, the smaller number is 21, and the larger number is 34.

She wants the first prize to be nice enough to attract people to the game. The game's manufacturer has supplied her with the probabilities of winning first, second, and third prizes. Tickets cost $3 each, and she wants the school to profit an average of $1 per ticket. How much should she spend on each first prize

Answers

Answer:

$9.19

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Cost of each ticket=$3

Average profit per ticket=$1

Expect gain for ticket purchaser must be -$1

Let x be the cost of first prize

Probability of first prize=0.15

Probability of second prize=0.30

Probability of third prize=0.45

Cost of second prize=$1.15

Cost of third prize=$0.74

Total probability=0.15+0.30+0.45=0.9

Probability of winning =0.9

Probability of losing=1-0.9=0.1

According to question

[tex]x(0.15)+0.30(1.15)+0.74(0.45)-3(0.1)=-1[/tex]

[tex]0.15x+0.378=-1[/tex]

[tex]0.15x=-1-0.378[/tex]

[tex]0.15x=-1.378[/tex]

[tex]x=-\frac{1.378}{0.15}=-9.19[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

15.87, 16.02, 15.78, 15.83, 15.69, 15.81, 16.04, 15.81, 15.92, 16.10

Null hypothesis ; H0: μ ≥ 16

Alternative hypothesis ; H1: < 16

Sample size, n = 10

From the data:

Using calculator,

Sample mean, m = 15.887

Standard deviation, s = 0.13

The test statistic, T

(m - μ) / s/sqrt(n)

(15.887 - 16) / (0.13/sqrt(10))

= −2.748749

Using the p value from test statistic calculator :

Degree of freedom (df) = 10 - 1 = 9 at 0.05 significance level is 0.011275

Since the p value is < 0.05

0.011 < 0.05

We reject the Null and conclude that the mean fill weight is less than 16 oz
