Libby donated​ $50 during the first month of the year. If she makes three additional donations of equal amounts during the​ year

, how much will she need to donate each time to be in the Silver​ category?
Mathematics

Answer:

She will donate P-50/3 each time

Step-by-step explanation:

Now assuming total donation needed to be in the silver category Is P

We can assume also the three additional and equal donations be Q

So

Then 50 + 3Q = P

So we still don't know P

We can get Q by saying

3Q= P - 50

Q = (P - 50) /3

The area of the rectangle is 64.8 square centimeters. What is the perimeter of the rectangle? One group of ten tenths and one gr
9966 [12]

Answer:

(a) Perimeter = 32.2\ cm

(b) 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a):

Given

Shape: Rectangle

Area = 64.8

Required

Calculate the perimeter.

Area is calculated as:

Area = L * W

Where

L = Length and W = Width

Substitute 64.8 for Area

64.8 = L * W

Make L the subject:

L = \frac{64.8}{W}

Perimeter is calculated as:

P = 2 * (L + W)

Substitute 64.8/W for L

P = 2 * (\frac{64.8}{W} + W)

P = \frac{129.6}{W} + 2W

To solve further, we take the derivative of P and set it to 0, afterwards.

dP = -\frac{129.6}{W^2} + 2

Set to 0

0 = -\frac{129.6}{W^2} + 2

Collect Like Terms

\frac{129.6}{W^2} = 2

Cross Multiply:

2W^2= 129.6

Divide through by 2

W^2 = 64.8

Take square roots

W = \sqrt{64.8

W = 8.05

Recall that:

L = \frac{64.8}{W}

So:

L= \frac{64.8}{8.05}\\

L= 8.05

The perimeter is:

Perimeter = 2 * (8.05 + 8.05)

Perimeter = 2 * (16.10)

Perimeter = 32.2\ cm

Solving (b):

Given

((1 Group of 10 tenths) and (1 group of 8 tenths))/(6 groups of 3 tenths)

Required

Solve

Tenths = \frac{1}{10}

So, the expression becomes:

((1 Group of 10 * \frac{1}{10}) and (1 group of 8 * \frac{1}{10}))/(6 groups of 3 * \frac{1}{10})

This gives:

((1 Group of \frac{10}{10}) and (1 group of \frac{8}{10}))/(6 groups of \frac{3}{10})

Group means product, so the expression becomes:

\frac{(1 * \frac{10}{10} \ and\ 1 * \frac{8}{10})}{6 * \frac{3}{10}}

And, as used here means addition

\frac{(1 * \frac{10}{10} +  1 * \frac{8}{10})}{6 * \frac{3}{10}}

Simplify:

\frac{(1 * 1 +  1 * 0.80)}{6 *0.30}

\frac{(1 +  0.80)}{1.80}

\frac{1.80}{1.80}

= 1.00

The cost of taking your pet aboard the air flight with you in the continental US varies according to the airlines. The five numb
melisa1 [442]

Answer: The  lowest value: 100 and highest value: - 150 .

If we were to build the box plot for this data, the box would stretch between Q_1= 100 and Q_3= 125.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the box-plot is the graphical way to represent the five -number summary (Minimum value , First quartile (Q_1) , Median , Third Quartile (Q_3)  , Maximum value).

Where , the box streches between the first quartile  (Q_1)  and the third quartile  (Q_3) .

Given : The cost of taking your pet aboard the air flight with you in the continental US varies according to the airlines.

The five number summary for prices based on a sample of major US airlines was:

Min = 60,

Q_1= 100

Median = 110

Q_3= 125

Max = 150

If we were to build the box plot for this data, the box would stretch between Q_1= 100 and Q_3= 125.

Hence, the  lowest value: 100 and highest value: 125 .

A prisoner is trapped in a cell containing three doors. The first door leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after two
Greeley [361]

Answer:

The expected number of days until the prisoner reaches freedom is 2.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Door 1: 0.3 probability of being selected. Leads to his cell after two days' travel.

Door 2: 0.5 probability of being selected. Leads to his cell after four days' travel.

Door 3: 0.2 probability of being selected. Leads to his cell after one day of travel.

What is the expected number of days until the prisoner reaches freedom?

We multiply the probability of each door being used by the time that it leads to the cell. So

E = 0.3*2 + 0.5*4 + 0.2*1 = 2.8

The expected number of days until the prisoner reaches freedom is 2.8.

<span><span> x2-16x+48=0</span> </span>Two solutions were found :<span> x = 12 x = 4</span>

Step by step solution :<span>Step  1  :</span>Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

<span> 1.1 </span>    Factoring <span> x2-16x+48</span> 

The first term is, <span> <span>x2</span> </span> its coefficient is <span> 1 </span>.
The middle term is, <span> -16x </span> its coefficient is <span> -16 </span>.
The last term, "the constant", is <span> +48 </span>

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant <span> <span> 1</span> • 48 = 48</span> 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  48  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is  <span> -16 </span>.

<span><span>     -48   +   -1   =   -49</span><span>     -24   +   -2   =   -26</span><span>     -16   +   -3   =   -19</span><span>     -12   +   -4   =   -16   That's it</span></span>


Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -12  and  -4 
                     <span>x2 - 12x</span> - 4x - 48

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
                    x • (x-12)
              Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
                    4 • (x-12)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
                    (x-4)  •  (x-12)
             Which is the desired factorization

<span>Equation at the end of step  1  :</span> (x - 4) • (x - 12) = 0 <span>Step  2  :</span>Theory - Roots of a product :

<span> 2.1 </span>   A product of several terms equals zero.<span> 

 </span>When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.<span> 

 </span>We shall now solve each term = 0 separately<span> 

 </span>In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product<span> 

 </span>Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

<span> 2.2 </span>     Solve  :    x-4 = 0<span> 

 </span>Add  4  to both sides of the equation :<span> 
 </span>                     x = 4 

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

<span> 2.3 </span>     Solve  :    x-12 = 0<span> 

 </span>Add  12  to both sides of the equation :<span> 
 </span>                     x = 12
