Answer:14 small boxes and 12 large boxes were shipped.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of small boxes of paper that were shipped.

Let y represent the number of large boxes of paper that were shipped.

A total of 26 boxes of paper were shipped. This means that

x + y = 26

The volume of each small box is 7 cubic feet and the volume of each large box is 13 cubic feet. The total number of boxes shipped have a combined volume of 254 cubic feet. This means that

7x + 13y = 254 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 26 - y into equation 1, it becomes

7(26 - y) + 13y = 254

182 - 7y + 13y = 254

- 7y + 13y = 254 - 182

6y = 72

y = 72/6 = 12

x = 26 - y = 26 - 12

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say S is the number of small boxes and L is the number of large boxes.

S + L = 26

7S + 13L = 254

Solve the system of equations using substitution.

7S + 13(26 − S) = 254

7S + 338 − 13S = 254

84 − 6S = 0

S = 14

L = 26 − S

L = 12

The company shipped 14 small boxes and 12 large boxes.

Which of the following groups has terms that can be used interchangeably with the others?1. Percentage, Probability, and Proport
Dafna1 [17]

Answer: 1) Percentage, Probability, Proportion

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics,

▪Proportion means a fraction of the total.

▪Percentage means a number or a ratio, expressed as a fraction of 100. Here, the total is 100.

▪Probability which may look slightly different from the other two means a number between 0 and 1, showing the exact likelihood of an event happening. Which in context can mean, a number showing a fraction of an event happening out of the whole (0 to 1).

▪Critical value means a point in hypothesis testing on the test distribution that is compared to the test statistic to determine whether to reject the null hypothesis.

In the four definitions, the odd one out is Critical Value.

So the option without critical value in it is option 1) Percentage, Probability, Proportion since we can use the three interchangeable.

Matthew ran 3/8 mile and then walked 7/10 mile. Which pair of fractions can he use to find how far he went in all? (A 15/40 and
Strike441 [17]
Before we could add these numbers, 3/8 and 7/10 need a common denominator. Both 8 and 10 go into 40.

8 goes into 40 five times
3/8= (3*5)/40 = 15/40

10 goes into 40 four times
7/10= (7*4)/40= 28/40

ANSWER: A) 15/40 and 28/40

Hope this helps! :)

300-7[4(3+5)]+3 to the 3rd power
Mila [183]

Answer:

The answer is 103

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

300-7[4(3+5)]+3 to the 3rd power

3 to the 3rd power means 3^3

Therefore,

300-7[4(3+5)]+3^3

First we will solve the round bracket and find the cube

300-7[4(8)]+27

Now we will solve square bracket

300-7[32]+ 27

300-224+27

76+27

103

Thus the answer we get is 103....
