Answer:

a) 18 button a buttons are required to fill the bag.

b) 12 button b buttons are required to fill the bag.

c) There are 11 buttons of each type in the box containing 220 g of buttons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question

Two button types, button a weighing 8 grams and button b weighing 12 grams. The buttons are sold in bags. Each bag contains 144 grams of buttons.

a) How many of button a are needed to fill one bag?

b) How many of button b are needed to fill one bag?

c) A box of buttons contains the same number of each type of button it contains 220g of buttons. How many of each type of button are in the box.

Solution

a) A bag contains 144 grams of buttons.

Button a weighs 8 grams per button.

Total number of button a buttons required to fill up the bag = (144/8) = 18 button a buttons.

b) A bag contains 144 grams of buttons.

Button b weighs 12 grams per button.

Total number of button b buttons required to fill up the bag = (144/12) = 12 button a buttons.

c) A box of buttons weighing 220 g contains the same number of each type of button.

Let this number be n.

This means the Total weight of button a buttons in this box = 8n

total weight of button b buttons in this box = 12n

Sum total of the weight of the buttons = 8n + 12n = 20n

20n = 220

n = (220/20) = 11.

This means there are 11 buttons of each type in the box containing 220 g of buttons.

Hope this Helps!!!

pochemuha

Answer:

No these these result do not differ at 95% confidence level

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first concentrations is $c _1= 30.0 \ g/m^3$

The second concentrations is $c _2 = 52.9 \ g/m^3$

The first sample size is $n_1 = 32$

The second sample size is $n_2 = 32$

The first standard deviation is $\sigma_1 = 30.0$

The first standard deviation is $\sigma_1 = 29.0$

The mean for Turnpike is $\= x _1 = \frac{c_1}{n} = \frac{31.4}{32} = 0.98125$

The mean for Tunnel is $\= x _2 = \frac{c_2}{n} = \frac{52.9}{32} = 1.6531$

The null hypothesis is $H_o : \mu _1 - \mu_2 = 0$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : \mu _1 - \mu_2 \ne 0$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{\= x_1 - \= x_2}{ \sqrt{\frac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1} +\frac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2} }}$

$t = \frac{0.98125 - 1.6531}{ \sqrt{\frac{30^2}{32} +\frac{29^2}{32} }}$

$t = - 0.0899$

Generally the degree of freedom is mathematically represented as

$df = 32+ 32 - 2$

$df = 62$

The significance $\alpha$ is evaluated as

$\alpha = (C - 100 )\%$

=> $\alpha = (95 - 100 )\%$

=> $\alpha =0.05$

The critical value is evaluated as

$t_c = 2 * t_{0.05 , 62}$

From the student t- distribution table

$t_{0.05, 62} = 1.67$

$t_c = 2 * 1.67$

=> $t_c = 3.34$

given that

$t_c > t$ we fail to reject the null hypothesis so this mean that the result do not differ

A conical pile of road salt has a diameter of 112 feet and a slant height of 65 feet. After a storm, the linear dimensions of th

QveST [7]

we know that

the volume of a cone is equal to

$V= \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h$

in this problem

the radius is equal to

$r= \frac{112}{2}= 56ft$

1) Find the height of the cone before the storm

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem find the height

$h^{2} = l^{2}-r^{2}$

$l=65 ft$

$h^{2} = 65^{2}-56^{2}$

$h^{2} = 1,089$

$h=33 ft$

2) Find the volume before the storm

$V= \frac{1}{3}*\pi* 56^{2}*33$

$V=34,496\pi\ ft^{3}$

3) Find the volume after the storm

After a storm, the linear dimensions of the pile are 1/3 of the original dimensions

r=(56/3) ft

h=(33/3)=11 ft

$V= \frac{1}{3}*\pi* (56/3)^{2}*11$

$V= 1,277.63\pi\ ft^{3}$

4) Find how this change affect the volume of the pile

Divide the volume after the storm by the volume before the storm

$\frac{1,277.63 \pi }{34,496 \pi } = \frac{1}{27}$

therefore

the answer part a) is

The volume of the pile after the storm is $\frac{1}{27}$ times the original volume

Part b) Estimate the number of lane miles that were covered with salt

5) Find the amount of salt that was used during the storm

$=34,496 \pi - 1,277.63 \pi \\= 33.218.37 \pi \\= 104,358.59\ ft^{3}$

6) Find the pounds of road salt used

$104,358.59*80=8,348,687.2\ pounds$

7) Find the number of lane miles that were covered with salt

$8,348,687.2/350=23,853.39 \ lane\ miles$

therefore

the answer part b) is

the number of lane miles that were covered with salt is $23,853.39 \ lane\ miles$

Part c) How many lane miles can be covered with the remaining salt? Round your answer to the nearest lane mile

the remaining salt is equal to $1,277.63\pi\ ft^{3}$

$1,277.63\pi\ ft^{3}=4,013.79\ ft^{3}$

8) Find the pounds of road salt

$4,013.79*80=321,103.20\ pounds$

9) Find the number of lane miles

$321,103.20/350=917.44 \ lane\ miles$

therefore

the answer part c) is

the number of lane miles is $917 \ lane\ miles$

morpeh [17]

Answer:

9.75ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

Dimension of the cylinder

Diameter= 6.5 ft

Height= 12.5 ft

You measure the level of milk to be 2.75 ft from the brim

Required

The dept of the milk in the cylinder

Step two:

to get the depth, we need to subtract the measured level from the brim from the height of the cylinder

= 12.5-2.75

=9.75 ft

Hence the Depth of the milk is 9.75ft

Answer:

The statement provided is True.

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function representing growth is given as follows:

$y=y_{0}\cdot e^{kt}$

Here,

y = final value

y₀ = initial value

k = growth rate

t = time passed

As the function $e^{x}$ is increasing, then the exponential function representing growth is also increasing.

Thus, the statement provided is True.
