the sum of two numbers is 31. 2/3 of one of the numbers added is equal to 5/8 of the other.find the two numbers

1 answer:

6 0

One number is 15 and the other is 16. You get this answer by first finding a factor of 3(15) that when it's subtracted from 31 gives you a factor of 8(16). Then you divide in this case 15 by 3 and get 5 and 16 by 8 and get 2. The reason you divided the numbers is because now you have 5 which is 1/3 of 15 and 2 which is 1/8 of 16. Now that you have your numbers that equal your fractions multiply 5 which is your 1/3 by the 2 from your 2/3 to get 10 which is 2/3 of 15 and 2 which is 1/8 by the 5 from you 5/8 to get 10 which is 5/8 of 16

Mike is 5 years old and Randy is 8 years old. Select all proportional relationships that have the same ratio to that of Mike and

Yanka [14]

Answer:

The ratio is multiplying 1.6 so just pick all the proportional relationships where you have to multiply by 1.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportional relationships man you have to multiply, but since I didn't know what you multiplied 5 to get to 8 I divided.

8÷5=1.6

And if you want to check your answer then multiply.

5×1.6=8

If triangle LMN has an obtuse angle at vertex M, which statements could be true? Check all that apply.

nirvana33 [79]

Answer: Triangle LMN is an obtuse triangle.

The angle at vertex L is acute.

The angle at vertex N is acute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, triangle LMN has an obtuse angle at vertex M,

Thus, by the definition of obtuse angle triangle LMN is an obtuse triangle,

Now, Angle M is obtuse,

⇒ 90° < m∠ M < 180°

Since, by the property of a triangle,

m∠ L + m∠ M + m∠ N = 180°

⇒ m∠ M = 180° - ( m∠ L+ m∠ N )

⇒ 90° < 180° - ( m∠ L+ m∠ N ) < 180°

⇒ 90° - 180° < - ( m∠ L+ m∠ N ) < 0

⇒ -90° < - ( m∠ L+ m∠ N ) < 0

⇒ 90° > ( m∠ L+ m∠ N ) > 0 ( Since, a - b)

⇒ 90° > m∠ L and 90° > m∠ N

⇒ Both angle L and angle N are acute.

A newly drilled water well produces 50,000 quarts of water per week. With no new water feeding the well, the production drops by

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Total amount of water = 5,200,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

water produced = 50,000 quarts of water per week

Production drop = 5% = 0.05 per year

Number of week in year = 52 week

Find:

Total amount of water

Computation:

Sum = a / r

a = 50,000 x 52

a = 2,600,000

Sum = a / [1-r]

Sum = 2,600,000 / 5%

Sum = 2,600,000 / 0.05

Total amount of water = 5,200,000

The manufacturer of hardness testing equipment uses steel-ball indenters to penetrate metal that is being tested, however, the m

masha68 [24]

Answer:

$1.667-2.31\frac{1.803}{\sqrt{9}}=0.2789$

$1.667+2.31\frac{1.803}{\sqrt{9}}=3.055$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (0.2789;3.055)

The 95% confidence interval to judge whether the two indeners result in different measurements is?

Yes the confidence interval not contains the value 0 so we can conclude that the values for Diamond are significantly higher than the values for Steel Ball at 5% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following dataset:

specimen 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Steel Ball 51 57 61 70 68 54 65 51 53

Diamond 53 55 63 74 69 56 68 51 56

If we calculate the differences diamond-steel ball we have this datase:

d: 2, -2, 2, 4, 1, 2, 3, 0, 3

The second step is calculate the mean difference

$\bar d= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n d_i}{n}=1.667$

The third step would be calculate the standard deviation for the differences, and we got:

$s_d =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (d_i -\bar d)^2}{n-1} =1.803$

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=9-1=8$

Since the confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,9)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.31$ .

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$1.667-2.31\frac{1.803}{\sqrt{9}}=0.2789$

$1.667+2.31\frac{1.803}{\sqrt{9}}=3.055$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (0.2789;3.055)

The 95% confidence interval to judge whether the two indeners result in different measurements is?

Yes the confidence interval not contains the value 0 so we can conclude that the values for Diamond are significantly higher than the values for Steel Ball at 5% of significance.
