Answer:

$\frac{3}{20}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction of the total that is for corn (TC - Total corn):

$TC=\frac{1}{4}$

fraction of the corn section that is for white corn (WC - white corn in the corn seccion):

$WC=\frac{3}{5}$

we need to find the fraction of the whole field that is for the white corn.

For this we need to find how much is $\frac{3}{5}$ out of the $\frac{1}{4}$ destinated to corn, and this will be the fraction of the total that is for white corn. We find this fraction by multiplying the fraction of corn ( $\frac{1}{4}$ ) by the fraction of white corn in the corn section ( $\frac{3}{5}$ ).

I will call the total fraction of white corn TWC, thus:

$TWC=WC*TC=\\=\frac{3}{5} *\frac{1}{4} \\\\=\frac{3*1}{5*4} \\\\=\frac{3}{20}$

the answer is: $\frac{3}{20}$ of the whole field is planted with white corn

Melissa's boyfriend gave her a 2-pound heart-shaped box of chocolates. The box had 68 pieces of chocolate. What was the average

Kobotan [32]

The average weight in ounce for each piece of chocolate is 0.03.

Step-by-step explanation:

The heart-shaped box containing the chocolates has the weight of 2 pounds

The box contains 68 pieces of chocolates.To find the weight of each piece of chocolate, you divide the weight of the box with the number of chocolate pieces in the box.

This will be 2/68 = 0.0294117647

To the nearest hundredth you check the thousandths value and round off

In this case; 0.0294117647 = 0.03 pounds

A police helicopter is flying at 150 mph at a constant altitude of 0.5 mile above a straight road. The pilot uses radar to deter

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

a) (see attached picture)

b) d, h, velocity of helicopter, dd/dt

in the direction oposite to the movement of the helicopter.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must start by drawing a diagram that will represent the situation (see attached picture). As you may see, there is a right triangle being formed by the helicopter, the car and the graound. We can use this to build the equation we are going to use to model the problem.

$d^{2}=h^{2}+x^{2}$

we can use this equation to find the value of x at that very time, so we can do that by solving the equation for x, so we get:

$x=\sqrt{d^{2}-h^{2}}$

and substitute the given values:

$x=\sqrt{(1)^{2}-(0.5)^{2}}$

which yields:

x=0.866mi

we know that the height of the helicopter is going to be constant, so we rewrite the equation as:

$d^{2}=(0.5)^{2}+x^{2}$

$d^{2}=0.25+x^{2}$

Next, we can go ahead and differentiate the equation so we get:

$2d\frac{dd}{dt}=2x\frac{dx}{dt}$

which can be simplified to:

$d\frac{dd}{dt}=x\frac{dx}{dt}$

we can next solve the equation for dx/dt so we get:

$\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{d}{x}*\frac{dd}{dt}$

so we can now substitue te provided values so we get:

$\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{1}{0.866}*-190$

so we get:

$\frac{dx}{dt}=-219.40mph$

the negative sign means that the x-value is decreasing.

now, this problem deals with relative velocities, so we get that:

Velocity of car about the helicopter = Velocity of the car - Velocity of the helicopter. Or:

$V_{ch}=V_{c}-V_{h}$

so we can solve this for the actual velocity of the car, so we get:

$V_{c}=V_{ch}+V_{h}$

so we get:

$V_{c}=-219.40mph+150mph$

which yields:

$V_{c}=-69.4mph$

So it has a velocity of 69.4mph in a direction oposite to the helicopter's movement.

Write two numbers that when rounded to the greatest place value have an estimated sum of 11,000 and an estimated difference of 3

lianna [129]

Answer:

x + y = 10,999.5 (rounded up to 11000)

x - y = 3,000.3 (this would be rounded down to 3000)

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume;

Two numbers are x, y

So,

x + y = 11,000 .......eq1

x - y = 3,000 .........eq2

eq1 + eq2

So,

2x =14,000

x = 7,000

So y = 4,000

For rounding number

x = 6,999.9 (rounded up to 7,000)

y = 3,999.6 (rounded up to 4,000)

Sum;

x + y = 10999.5 (rounded up to 11000)

x - y = 3000.3 (this would be rounded down to 3000)

You buy a pair of jeans at a department store. Jeans 39.99 Discount -10.00 Subtotal 29.99 Sales tax 1.95 Total 31.94 a. What is

Mariana [72]

A)

if 39.99 is the 100%, what is 10 in percentage? well

$\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
39.99&100\\
10&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{39.99}{10}=\cfrac{100}{x}$

solve for "x".

b)

now, with the discount, the amount is 29.99, thus if 29.99 is the 100%, what is 1.95 from it in percentage?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
29.99&100\\
1.95&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{29.99}{1.95}=\cfrac{100}{x}$

solve for "x".

c)

the original price is 39.99, the markup on that is 60%, how much is that?
well

$\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
39.99&100\\
x&60
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{39.99}{x}=\cfrac{100}{60}\implies 39.99\cdot 60=100x
\\\\\\
\cfrac{39.99\cdot 60}{100}=x\implies 23.994=x$

now, after the discount, the price is 29.99, how much is 23.994 in percentage of 29.99?

well $\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
29.99&100\\
23.994&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{29.99}{23.994}=\cfrac{100}{x}$

solve for "x".
