Answer:

0.25q

Step-by-step explanation:

A cash register is a machine used in small business that sums, display and records the total amount made by each sale. A cash register also has a drawer which is used to store money.

A quarter is a coin in the United States which is 25 cents.

Converting 25 cents to dollars:

100 cents = $1

25 cents = 25 cents × $1 / 100 cent = $0.25

The total amount of money registered = number of quarters × $0.25

The total amount of money registered = q × $0.25 = 0.25q

A company produces metal slabs for industrial use. the slabs come in 3 thicknesses: 5in, 10in, and 15in. the weights of each thi

Len [333]

Given slabs thicknesses 5in, 10in, and 15in.

Therefore,<u> </u><u>ratio of thicknesses in simplest form would be 1:2:3.</u>

Metal 1 thicknesses = 150lbs, 300lbs, 600lbs

Dividing by 150, we get ratio of Metal 1 thicknesses = 1:2:4.

Metal 2 thicknesses = 130lbs, 260lbs, 390lbs.

Dividing by 130, we get ratio of Metal 2 thicknesses = 1:2:3.

Metal 3 thicknesses = 310lbs, 620lbs, 930lbs.

Dividing by 310, we get ratio of Metal 3 thicknesses = 1:2:3.

Metal 4 thicknesses = 140lbs, 280lbs, 420lbs.

Dividing by 140, we get ratio of Metal 4 thicknesses = 1:2:3.

<u>We can see the ratios of thicknesses of Metal 1 are 1:2:4 but it should be 1:2:3.</u>

Therefore, Metal 1 weight is not proportional to thickness.

What is the volume of the composite figure?

m_a_m_a [10]

We are asked to solve for the volume of the composite figures and the answer is the summation of the two volumes such as the volume of a triangular prism and volume of a rectangular prism. In order to solve this, we need to recall the following formulas:
the volume of triangular prism = 1/2* b*h*l and solving the volume, we have it:
the volume of triangular prism = 1/2 * 15* 16*20 = 3600 units³
the volume of rectangular prism = l*w*h and solving the volume, we have it:
the volume of rectangular prism = 20*15*12 = 2400 units³

The total volume of the composite figure is the summation of the two volumes such as:
total volume = 3600 + 2400
total volume = 6000 units²

The answer is 6,000 units².

earnstyle [38]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The correct option is </u><u>The letter on the front will be N. The letter on the back will be L. </u>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

When we fold the given net, we will get Q,P,M and N on sides. Side M will come to the top, side Q on the right side, side P on the left and side O on the bottom. The side which comes to the front will be N of the observer and similarly the side L will come to the back of the rectangular prism.

Tanya [424]

Cherry sales as a % of total sales = (0.5 x 1.2)/(0.5 x 1.2 + 0.2 x 1.4 + 0.3 x 1.6) = 0.6 / (0.6 + 0.28 + 0.48) = 0.6 / 1.36 = 0.4412 = 44.12%

Therefore, 44.12% of the total sales will be cherry.
