A tiling company completes two jobs. The first job has $1200 in labor expenses for 40 hours worked, while the second job has $15

60 in labor expenses for 52 hours worked. The relationship between the labor expenses and the hours worked is linear. Which equation can be used to calculate the y-intercept of the linear equation? 1200 = 40 (40) + b 1560 = 30 (40) + b 1560 = 30 (52) + b 1200 = 52 (30) + b

Answer:

The correct option is;

1560 = 30(52) + b

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the first job = $1,200 in labor and expenses

The number of hours worked in the first job = 40

The second job costs $1,560 in labor and expenses

The number of hours worked in the second job = 52

If the cost of labor per hour = L and the expenses = b, we have;

$1,200 = 40×L + b......................(1)

$1,560 = 52×L + b.......................(2)

Subtracting equation (1) from (2), we have;

52×L + b - (40×L + b) = 52×L - 40×L + b - b = $1,560 - $1,200 = $360

12×L = $360

L = $360/12 = $30/hour

From equation (1), we have;

$1,200 = 40×L + X = 40×$30 + b

Therefore, the equation that can be used to calculate the y-intercept of the linear equation is either;

1200 = 40(30) + X or 1560 = 32(52) + b, which gives the correct option as 1560 = 32(52) + b

You mix soda water, fruit punch concentrate, and ginger ale in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 5 to make fruit punch. How many pints of eac

EastWind [94]

So the ratio is 1 to 2 to 5
so basically 1 unit of soda water to 2 units of fruit punch to 5 units of ginger ale

total is 1+2+5=8 units

so 4 gallons=8 units
divide by 8
1/2 gallon=1 unit

soda water=1 unit=1/2 gallon
fruit punch=2 unit=1/2 times 2=1 gallon
ginger ale=5 unit=5 times 1/2=5/2=2 and 1/2 gallon

soda water=1/2 gallon
fruit punch concentrate=1 gallon
ginger ale=5/2 gallon or 2 and 1/2 gallon

A prescription calls for the following: Sodium citrate 5 g Tartar Emetic 0.015 g Cherry syrup ad 120 mL Using a balance with a s

ella [17]

Answer:

measure the volume of cherry syrup solution with Tartar Emetic = 22.5 mL

Hence, the correct quantity of tartar emetic to fill the prescription will be obtained

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mass of Sodium citrate = 5 g

Mass of Tartar Emetic = 0.015 g = 15 mg

Volume of Cherry syrup ad 120 mL = 120 mL

sensitivity = 4 mg

Error = 5%

Now,

The smallest weight that can be measured = $\frac{\textup{Sensitivity}}{\textup{Error}}\times100$

or

The smallest weight that can be measured = $\frac{\textup{4}}{\textup{5}}\times100$ = 80 mg

Now,

80 mg is dissolved in 120 mL of Cherry syrup according to prescription

( Thus,

1 mg is dissolved in $\frac{120}{80}\ mL$ of Cherry syrup according to prescription )

so to measure 15 mg of Tartar Emetic, measure the volume of cherry syrup

= $15\times\frac{120}{80}\ mL$

= 22.5 mL

Hence, the correct quantity of tartar emetic to fill the prescription will be obtained

The 3rd degree Taylor polynomial for cos(x) centered at a = π 2 is given by, cos(x) = − (x − π/2) + 1/6 (x − π/2)3 + R3(x). Usin

Otrada [13]

Answer:

The cosine of 86º is approximately 0.06976.

Step-by-step explanation:

The third degree Taylor polynomial for the cosine function centered at $a = \frac{\pi}{2}$ is:

$\cos x \approx -\left(x-\frac{\pi}{2} \right)+\frac{1}{6}\cdot \left(x-\frac{\pi}{2} \right)^{3}$

The value of 86º in radians is:

$86^{\circ} = \frac{86^{\circ}}{180^{\circ}}\times \pi$

$86^{\circ} = \frac{43}{90}\pi\,rad$

Then, the cosine of 86º is:

$\cos 86^{\circ} \approx -\left(\frac{43}{90}\pi-\frac{\pi}{2}\right)+\frac{1}{6}\cdot \left(\frac{43}{90}\pi-\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^{3}$

$\cos 86^{\circ} \approx 0.06976$

The cosine of 86º is approximately 0.06976.

Ampicillin 250 mg IM every 12 hours is ordered. After reconstitution, there's 125 mg/mL. How many mL would you give?

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Correct choice is C. 2 mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Ampicillin 250 mg IM every 12 hours is ordered. After reconstitution, there's 125 mg/mL. Now we need to find about how many mL would you give.

Let number of ml needed = x.

Since ratio of mg per mL will be fixed so we get equation:

$\frac{mL}{mg}=\frac{x}{250}=\frac{1}{125}$

$\frac{x}{250}=\frac{1}{125}$

$x=\frac{1}{125} \times 250$

$x=\frac{250}{125}$

$x=2$

Hence correct choice is C. 2 mL.
