Answer:

The quantity is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the solution to the equation.

Let the quantity we are looking for be x;

According to the question;

The quantity plus a quarter of the quantity = 15

x + 1/4(x) = 15

x + x/4 = 15

Multiply through by 4

4x + (x/4)*4 = 15 * 4

4x + x = 60

5x = 60

x = 60/5

x = 12

Two production lines produce the same parts per week of which 100 are defective. Line 2 produces 2,000 parts per week of which 1
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

(a) 0.0833 or 8.33%

(b) 0.40 or 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Parts line one (n1) = 1,000 parts

Defects line one (d1) = 100 parts

Parts line two (n2) = 2,000 parts

Defects line two (d2) = 150 parts

Total number of parts (n) = 3,000 parts

a. Probability of a randomly selected part being defective:

P(d) = \frac{d_1+d_2}{n_1+n_2}=\frac{100+150}{1,000+2,000}\\P(d) =0.0833=8.33\%

The probability is 0.0833 or 8.33%

b. Probability of a part being produced by line one, given that it is defective:

P(1|d)=\frac{P(1\cap d)}{P(1\cap d)+P(2\cap d)}\\P(1|d)=\frac{\frac{100}{3,000} }{\frac{100}{3,000}+\frac{150}{3,000}}\\P(1|d)=0.4 = 40\%

The probability is 0.40 or 40%.

Ashley invests $9,720 in a one-month money market account paying 3.16% simple annual interest and $8,140 in a two-year CD yieldi
tester [92]
For the first investment. A = P(1 + rt); where p = 9,720, r = 0.0316 and t = 1/12
A = 9720(1 + 0.0316/12) = 9720(1.0026) = $9,746

For the second investment,
A = 8140(1 + 0.0323 x 2) = 8140(1.0646) = $8,666

Total amount she had = $9,746 + $8,666 = $18,412

Marco has drawn a line to represent the perpendicular cross-section of the triangular prism. Is he correct? Explain. triangular
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Yes, the line should be perpendicular to one of the rectangular faces

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

A triangular prism lying on a rectangular base and a line drawn along the slant height

A perpendicular bisector should therefore be perpendicular with reference to the base of the triangular prism such that the cross section will be congruent to the triangular faces

Therefore Marco is correct and the correct option is yes, the line should be perpendicular to one of the rectangular faces (the face the prism is lying on).

How can the triangles be proven similar by the SSS similarity theorem? Show that the ratios StartFraction U V Over X Y EndFracti
dangina [55]

Answer:

<u>option 1</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is as shown in the attached figure.

From the figure, we can deduce that:

∠U ≅ ∠X and ∠W ≅ ∠Z  and ∠V ≅ ∠Y

So, ΔUWV similar to ΔXZY

But it is required to know " How can the triangles be proven similar by the SSS similarity theorem? "

So, we need to prove the corresponding angles are proportion

With the help of the previous corresponding angles.

So, we need to show that the ratios \frac{UV}{XY}  \ , \ \frac{WU}{ZX} \  and \ \frac{WV}{ZY} are equivalent.

So, the answer is <u>option 1</u>
