Carmine mixes 2.8 pounds of cashews with almonds to make a trail mix. He divides the trail mix into 5 equal portions. Each porti

on weighs 1.5 pounds. Which equation and solution shows the total amount of almonds he used in the mixture? One-fifth (2.8 + a) = 1.5 (5); a = 34.7 pounds of almonds One-fifth (2.8 + a) = 1.5; a = 4.7 pounds of almonds One-fifth (2.8 + a) = 1.5 (5); a = 4.7 pounds of almonds One-fifth (2.8 + a) = 1.5; a = 34.7 pounds of almonds

Answer:

I think its choice C

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it makes more sense to me

5 * 1.5 to get 7.5, which is total pounds

7.5 - 2.8 to get how many almonds

= 4.7

Choice C makes the most sense to get that answer

i'm only in 5th grade so tell me if i'm wrong ill be ok with that

What are the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) = 2x2 + 8x – 3?
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

  x=-2-\sqrt{\dfrac{11}{2}}\ \text{and}\ x=-2+\sqrt{\dfrac{11}{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

My favorite way to go at this is to look at a graph. It shows the vertex at (-2, -11). Since the leading coefficient is 2, this means the roots are ...

  -2\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{11}{2}}

where the 2 in the denominator of the radical is the leading coefficient.

__

You can also use other clues:

  • the axis of symmetry is -b/(2a) = -8/(2(2)) = -2, so answer choices C and D don't work
  • the single change in sign in the coefficients (+ + -) tells you there is one positive real root, so answer choice B doesn't work.

The first answer choice is the only one with values symmetrical about -2 and one of them positive.

__

You may be expected to use the quadratic formula:

  x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^-4ac}}{2a}=\dfrac{-8\pm\sqrt{8^2-4(2)(-3)}}{2(2)}\\\\=\dfrac{-8}{4}\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{88}}{4}=-2\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{11}{2}}

There are three choices of jellybeans - grape ,cherry and orange. if the probability of getting a grape is 3/10 and the probabil
muminat

When looking at probabilities, two ideas are always true.

1) Any probability is more than 0.

2) The sum of all the probabilites is 1.

Idea #2 works here. (For example, think of how a die has six things and the probability of each is 1/6. So 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 1.) Let G = the probability of grape, C = probability of cherry and O = the probability of orange. From Idea #2, G + C + O = 1. Since we know G and C, then

3/10 + 1/5 + O = 1.

3/10 + 2/10 + O = 1

5/10 + O = 1

O = 5/10

Thus, the probability of an orange jelly bean is 5/10 = 1/2.

In a sale, normal prices are reduced by 13%. The sale price of a DVD recorder is £108.75 Calculate the normal price of the DVD r
kifflom [539]

Answer:

$122.89

Step-by-step explanation:

The two number you have in this equation are 108.75 and 13% (or .13)

first you want to multiply 108.75 to .13

108.75 * .13 = 14.1375

Now, you add 14.1375 to 180.75 and round to the nearest hundredth

180.75+ 14.1375=122.8875

$122.89
