I don't get this... someone explain this plum thing please...... Before a plum is dried to become a prune, it is 92% water. A pruneis just 20% water. If only water is evaporated in the drying process, how many pounds of prunes can be made with 100 pounds of plums?

Answers

Answer:

21.74 But if it tells you to round I would round to 21 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

its basically just a ratio of 92 to 20

92/20=4.6

92-20=72% the amount that is lost

so given that the plum is 100 lbs we know that 72% is depleted

(72/92 = .78)X100= 78 lbs depleted

Lastly 100-78 =22 for the remaining weight of the prunes.

An airplane flying with the wind can cover a certain distance in 2 hours. The return trip against the wind takes 2.5 hours. Find the average airspeed and wind speed, if the one-way distance is 600 miles.

Answers

Answer:

Wind speed = 30 mph

Plane speed = 270 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Distance = 600 miles

Let speed of airplane = a ; speed of wind = b

Net speed ; with wind = a + b

Net speed against wind = a - b

Time taken with wind = 2 hours

Time taken against wind = 2.5 hours

Recall :

Speed = distance / time ; distance = speed * time

(a + b) * 2 = (a - b) * 2.5

2a + 2b = 600

a + b = 300 - - - (1)

a = 300 - b

2.5a - 2.5b = 600

a - b = 240 - - - (2)

300 - b - b = 240

300 - 2b = 240

-2b = - 60

b = 30

a = 300 - 30

a = 270

Wind speed = 30 mph

Plane speed = 270 mph

In trapiziod ABCD with bases AB and DC , diagonals intersect at point O. Find the length of diagonal BD, if BO=6 cm and A/O=3/1

Answers

Answer:

the length of the diagonal BD is 8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the length of diagonal BD is as follows

Here the trapezoid diagonals divides each other in an equivalent ratio

So, equation would be

AO ÷ OC = OB ÷ OD

Now put there values to the above equation

3 ÷ 1 = 6 ÷ OD

3OD = 6

Now divided it by 3 in both the sides

OD = 2

Now the BD would be

= BO + OD

= 6 +  2

= 8 cm

hence, the length of the diagonal BD is 8 cm

A stone is thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity 20m/s. Find the maximum height it reaches and the time taken by it to reach the height.
(g= 10m/s)

who gives answer with explanation i will make him braillint

Answers

Answer:

The maximum height it reaches is 20 meters

The time taken by it to reach the height is 2 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the height of the stone is h = u t - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] g t², where

t is the time to reach the height hu is the initial velocityg is the acceleration of gravity

∵ A stone is thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 20 m/s

u = 20 m/s

g = 10 m/s²

→ Substitute them in the equation above

∴ h(t) = 20t - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (10) t²

∴ h(t) = 20t - 5t²

→ Arrange the terms of the right side according to the greatest power of t

h(t) = -5t² + 20t

To find the maximum height and the time of it find the vertex of the quadratic function (m, k), where m = [tex]\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex] and k is the value of h at t = m, a is the coefficient of t² and b is the coefficient of t

∵ The coefficient of t² is -5

a = -5

∵ The coefficient of t is 20

b = 20

→ Use them to find h

∵ m = [tex]\frac{-20}{2(-5)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-20}{-10}[/tex] = h

m = 2

→ Substitute it in the equation above to find k

∵ h(m) = k

∵ k = -5(2)² + 20(2)

∴ k = -5(4) + 40

∴ k = -20 + 40

k = 20

∴ The coordinate of the vertex of the function are (2, 20)

→ m represents the time of the maximum height and k represents

  the maximum height

The maximum height it reaches is 20 meters

The time taken by it to reach the height is 2 seconds

a model for the performance of a stock is P= -2.5d^2+50d where d represents the days of trading and P is the price per share. What is the maximum price per share of stock and after how many days of trading did this price occur?

Answers

Answer:

The maximum price per share is $250 and it happens after 10 days of trading.

Step-by-step explanation:

The performance of a stock is modeled by the function:

[tex]P(d)=-2.5d^2+50d[/tex]

Where d is the number of days of trading and P is the price per share.

To find the maximum price, we use the first derivative:

[tex]P'(d)=-5d+50[/tex]

Equating to zero:

-5d+50=0

Solving for d:

-5d = -50

d = -50/(-5) = 10

d = 10

The price for d=10 is:

[tex]P(10)=-2.5*10^2+50*10[/tex]

[tex]P(10)=-2.5*100+500= 250[/tex]

The maximum price per share is $250 and it happens after 10 days of trading.

Tony wants to make a dog bed for his dog. He has a Golden Retriever and wants to make sure the bed is big enough so his dog can stretch out. He buys 8 yards of fabric for the bed. The fabric he chooses costs $6.99 per yard. He also needs to buy a filling for the bed. He buys 3 bags of polyester filling, which are $7.99 a bag. How much will Tony pay for the materials for the dog bed?

A. $23.97
B. $55.92
C.$38.87
D.$79.89

Answers

Answer:

D.$79.89

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one yard of fabric = $6.99

Length of fabric bought = 8 yards

Cost of one bag of polyester filling = $7.99

Number of bags of polyester filling bought = 3

Total cost of fabric = [tex]6.99\times 8=\$55.92[/tex]

Total cost of polyester filling = [tex]7.99\times 3=\$23.97[/tex]

Total cost of materials bought = Total cost of fabric + Total cost of polyester filling

[tex]=55.92+23.97=\$79.89[/tex]

Total cost of materials bought is [tex]\$79.89[/tex].

3.2 geometry worksheet

Answers

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

5. 21x + 4 = 22x - 2 (corresponding angles)

Collect like terms

21x - 22x = -4 - 2

-x = -6

divide both sides by -1

x = 6

6. (x + 72) + (x + 132) = 180 (linear pair)

x + 72 + x + 132 = 180

Add like terms

2x + 204 = 180

2x = 180 - 204

2x = -24

x = -12

7. 90 = 22x + 2 (vertical angles)

90 - 2 = 22x

88 = 22x

Divide both sides by 22

4 = x

x = 4

8. 12x + 10 = 13x + 3 (vertical angles)

Collect like terms

12x - 13x = -10 + 3

-x = -7

Divide both sides by -1

x = 7

9. 17x = 16x + 5 (alternate exterior angles)

17x - 16x = 5

x = 5

✔️17x

Plug in the value of x

17(5) = 85°

10. 21x - 6 = 20x (corresponding angles)

Add like terms

21x - 20x = 6

x = 6

✔️20x

Answers

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let PS = x and RP = x-5

Using Pythagorean theorem on the two smaller rt triangles formed,

6^2 + x^2 = (ST)^2

6^2 + (x-5)^2 = (RT)^2

Now use Pythag on big triangle and sub in above values:

(2x-5)^2 = 6^2 + x^2 + 6^2 + (x-5)^2

Multiply out and simplify to

x^2 - 5x -36 = 0

Factor the quadratic: ((x-9)(x+4)=0  Therefore x=9 or x=-4.  We may disregard the negative answer so x = 9.  So PS is 9 and RP is 4.

Therefore entire hypotenuse is 4 + 9 or 13.

You randomly sample 8 graduate students from an NYU event. 5 of the 8 exhibit higher IQ’s than the median of the general population. The probability of obtaining this result by chance (if those graduate students do not differ in IQ from the general population) is

Answers

Answer:

The probability that five of the eight students exhibit an higher IQ than the median of the general population is 0.21875

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of students in the sample, n = 8

The number of the students, x, that exhibit higher IQ's than the median = 5

The probability of obtaining the given result by chance is given as follows;

P(x) = n!/((n - x)!x!) × pˣ × qⁿ⁻ˣ

The probability that a student exhibit higher IQ's than the median = 0.5 = p

Similarly, we have, the probability that a student exhibit lower IQ's than the median = 0.5 = q

Substituting the known values, gives;

P(5) = (8!/((8 - 5)!×5!)) × 0.5^(5) × 0.5^(8 - 5) = 0.21875

Therefor, the probability that 5 of the 8 students exhibit an higher IQ than the median of the general population, P(5) = 0.21875.

3 feet = 36 inches

2 feet = 24 inches
