Answer:

There are 4 ounces of Fiber X cereal in the mix

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets n be the amount of ounces of Fiber X in the mix. Since there are a total of 12 ounces in the mix, then, on terms of n, there are 12-n ounces of Fiber Max on it.

Since 65% of the mix is Fiber, then there are 12*0.65 = 7.8 ounces of Fiber. We can also obtain this value if we take the proportions of Fiber in each cereal of the mix (in terms of n), so that we can obtain the true value of n

we have

7.8 = n *0.55 + (12-n)*0.7 = 0.55n + 8.4 -0.7 n = 8.4-0.15n

Therefore

0.15 n = 0.6

n = 0.6/0.15 = 4

As a consecuence, there are 4 ouces of Fiber X cereal in the mix.

What is the value of y in the following system y= 3x-5 6x+3y=15
Misha Larkins [42]
X=2. You use substitution to put the y=3x-5 into 6x+3y=15.
So you get 6x+3(3x-5)=15
=6x+9x-15=15
add 15 on both sides to get the x's alone and add the x's together.
6+9=15 -- 15+15=30
15x=30
30/15 =2
x=2

Grandma is trying out a new recipe for raisin bread. Each batch of bread dough makes three loaves, and each loaf contains 15 sli
Tom [10]

Answer:

0.108

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the poisson probability process :

Where :

P(x =x) = (e^-λ * λ^x) ÷ x!

Given that :

Each batch of bread = 3 loaves

Each loaf = 15 slices

Total slice per batch = 15 * 3 = 45 slices

Number of raising added = 100

Average number of raisin per slice, λ = 100/45 = 20/9

Hence,

Probability that a randomly chosen slice has no raising :

P(x = 0) = (e^-λ * λ^x) ÷ x!

P(x = 0) = (e^-(100/45) * (100/45)^0) ÷ 0!

P(x = 0) = (0.1083680 * 1) / 1

P(x = 0) = 0.108

Yuri [45]

Answer:

<u>Part A: Cost for the flooring is $ 4,231.50</u>

<u>Part B: Cost for the flooring is $ 5,531.50</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Let's calculate the area of the living/dining room, this way:

Area = 26 * 25

Area = 650 ft²

Step 2:

Let's calculate the cost of the flooring if Nancy installs it:

Cost = $ 6.51 * Area of the living/dining room

Cost = 6.51 * 650

<u>Cost = $ 4,231.50</u>

Step 3:

Let's calculate the cost of the flooring if the flooring company installs it:

Cost = $ 8.51 * Area of the living/dining room

Cost = 8.51 * 650

<u>Cost = $ 5,531.50</u>

In the problems below, f(x) = log₂x and
kramer

Answer:

(1,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given functions are:

f(x) = log₂x

and

g(x) = log₁₀x

We know that logarithm of 1 is always zero.

This means that irrespective of the base, the y-values of both functions will be equal to 0 at x=1

Therefore the point the graphs of f and g have in common is (1,0)
