Answer: (a) The ratio of spirit to varnish is 1 : 3

(b) You will need 80 ml of mineral spirits

(c) Ratio = 3 : 2

Step-by-step explanation: (a) If you have to mix 25% mineral spirit to the varnish as required in the question, then the whole solution would effectively contain 25 percent spirit and 75 percent varnish, giving you a hundred percent solution. To express both quantities in ratio can be done as follows;

Ratio = Spirit : Varnish

Ratio = 25 : 75

Ratio = 1 : 3

(b) Next, if you use 240 ml of varnish, this quantity would constitute 75 percent or ratio 3 out of 4 of your total solution. Therefore 240 ml of varnish can be expressed as follows;

240 : x = 3 : 4

Where x is the total solution and the right hand side (3 : 4) expresses the ratio of varnish in relation to the total solution. Hence,

240/x = 3/4

By cross multiplication you now have,

3x = 240 * 4

x = 960/3

x = 320

If x is the total solution which is 320 ml, and varnish constitutes 240 ml, then spirit equals,

Spirit = Total solution - varnish

Spirit = 320 - 240

Spirit = 80.

Therefore, you would need 80 ml of mineral spirits.

(c) Robson's tapestries all measure 1.5 m by 1 m. This can be expressed in whole numbers by first eliminating the decimal. Multiplying both dimensions by 10 results in,

1.5 (10) x 1 (10)

15 x 10

If both measurements can also be expressed as 15 m by 10 m, then reducing to the least terms would result in 3 by 2. That is,

15/5 by 10/5

3 by 2

Expressed as a ratio, this now becomes

Ratio = 3 : 2

horsena [70]

Answer:  Expected value of the daily cost of operating the machine is 235.264.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

E[x]= 0.96 repairs per day

And Var[x] = 0.96 repairs per day.

C=160+40x^2

E[c]=160+40E[x^2]\\\\E[c]=160+40(Var[x]+(E[x])^2)\\\\E[c]=160+40(0.96+0.96^2)\\\\E[c]=235.264

Hence, Expected value of the daily cost of operating the machine is 235.264.

Enter the values for the highlighted variables that show how to subtract the rational expressions correctly
Lina20 [59]
A = 6
x^2 + 6x is equal to x(x+6)
b=2
Denominator and numerator of the first term are multiplied by x. 
c=6
Second term is multiplied by (x-6)/(x-6)
d=2
Now that they have the same denominator, the two terms are combined. 2 is the coefficient of the first term
e=6
In the same way as d is carried over from b, e is carried over from c. 
f = 6
2x - x + 6 = x + 6
g = 1 
We factor out the (x+6) from the numerator and denominator

the smith family is shopping for a new car and they are basing their decision on color and style Explain how many color choices
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Sample response: The Smith family has 2 choices to make, color

and style. By the fundamental counting principle, the product of the

number of choices of color and style must equal 8. So, there could be 1

color and 8 style choices, 2 colors and 4 styles, 4 colors and 2 styles,

or 8 colors and 1 style.

The highest recorded temperature during the month of July for a given year in Death Valley, California has an approximately norm
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

P(X

And we can find this probability using excel or the normal standard tabe and we got:

P(z

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the temperatures of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(123.8,3.1)  

Where \mu=123.8 and \sigma=3.1

We are interested on this probability

P(X

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X

And we can find this probability using excel or the normal standard tabe and we got:

P(z

Which statements are true about the reflectional symmetry of a regular heptagon? Check all that apply. It has only 1 line of ref
Sav [38]

The answer is:

1- A line of symmetry will connect a vertex and a midpoint of an opposite side.

2- It has 7-fold symmetry.

The explanation for this answer is shown below:

1- By definition, a line of symmetry is an imaginary line that divides a figure into two equal images or equal halves. If you connect a vertex and a midpoint of an opposite side of an heptagon by drawing a line, you will obtain two equal halves.

2- An heptagon has seven vertices, therefore, based on the information mentioned above, it has 7-fold symmetry.
