Make a list of complete sentences that describe five applications of the building blocks of geometry in the real world.

A recipe states that 5 servings of peanuts have 1,250calories. How many calories is 2 servings of peanuts? *

MrMuchimi

Answer:

500 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

divide the 1250 calories by the initial five servings and you get 250 then multiply that by the 2 servings they are asking for and you get 500 calories

A piece of paper is to display ~128~ 128 space, 128, space square inches of text. If there are to be one-inch margins on both si

Grace [21]

Answer:

The dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

$Area = 128$

Let the dimension of the paper be x and y;

Such that:

$Length = x$

$Width = y$

So:

$Area = x * y$

Substitute 128 for Area

$128 = x * y$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{128}{y}$

When 1 inch margin is at top and bottom

The length becomes:

$Length = x + 1 + 1$

$Length = x + 2$

When 2 inch margin is at both sides

The width becomes:

$Width = y + 2 + 2$

$Width = y + 4$

The New Area (A) is then calculated as:

$A = (x + 2) * (y + 4)$

Substitute $\frac{128}{y}$ for x

$A = (\frac{128}{y} + 2) * (y + 4)$

Open Brackets

$A = 128 + \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8$

Collect Like Terms

$A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8+128$

$A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 136$

$A= 512y^{-1} + 2y + 136$

To calculate the smallest possible value of y, we have to apply calculus.

Different A with respect to y

$A' = -512y^{-2} + 2$

Set

$A' = 0$

This gives:

$0 = -512y^{-2} + 2$

Collect Like Terms

$512y^{-2} = 2$

Multiply through by $y^2$

$y^2 * 512y^{-2} = 2 * y^2$

$512 = 2y^2$

Divide through by 2

$256=y^2$

Take square roots of both sides

$\sqrt{256=y^2$

$16=y$

$y = 16$

Recall that:

$x = \frac{128}{y}$

$x = \frac{128}{16}$

$x = 8$

Recall that the new dimensions are:

$Length = x + 2$

$Width = y + 4$

So:

$Length = 8 + 2$

$Length = 10$

$Width = 16 + 4$

$Width = 20$

To double-check;

Differentiate A'

$A' = -512y^{-2} + 2$

$A" = -2 * -512y^{-3}$

$A" = 1024y^{-3}$

$A" = \frac{1024}{y^3}$

The above value is:

$A" = \frac{1024}{y^3} > 0$

This means that the calculated values are at minimum.

<em>Hence, the dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches</em>

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

At the 95% confidence level, management should not conclude that the percentage of rework for electrical components is lower than the rate of 12% for non-electrical components, since the upper bound of the confidene interval, which is 0.1339, is higher than 0.12.

Step-by-step explanation:

To reach a conclusion, we have to observe the confidence interval.

Should management conclude that the percentage of rework for electrical components is lower than the rate of 12% for non-electrical components?

Is the upper bound of the confidence interval lower than 12% = 0.12?

If yes, it should conclude that this percentage is lower.

Otherwise, it cannot conclude.

Confidence interval:

0.0758 to 0.1339

0.1339 is higher than 0.12.

So.

At the 95% confidence level, management should not conclude that the percentage of rework for electrical components is lower than the rate of 12% for non-electrical components, since the upper bound of the confidene interval, which is 0.1339, is higher than 0.12.

Last week, Jason ran 26.1 miles. He wants to run further this week. He plans to run 2.4 miles to the park, four times around the

Leona [35]

Question says that "Last week, Jason ran 26.1 miles. He wants to run further this week. He plans to run 2.4 miles to the park, four times around the park, and 2.4 miles back from the park. To represent that inequality, he wrote: 2.4 + 4p + 2.4 ___ 26.1"

We see a blank space before 26.1.

So we need to fill the suitable inequality symbol from <, >, ≤ and ≥.

In given expression "2.4 + 4p + 2.4 ___ 26.1", left side part "2.4 + 4p + 2.4", represents the total length of the path that Jason wants to cover this week.

He has decided to run more than 26.1 miles so that means the sum "2.4 + 4p + 2.4" must be greater than 26.1 miles.

Hence we will use > symbol so that left side becomes greater than the right side part.

So the final answer will be :

2.4 + 4p + 2.4 > 26.1
