Answer:

250

Step-by-step explanation:

Pretty much every time it asks for the abasloute value it just asks how much to get the zero on the number line. It will ALWAYS be positive. For example -5 will be 5 to get to zero on the numberline. Same thing with a positive 5.

Milk and cream are mixed together for a recipe. The total volume of the mixture is 1 cup. If the milk contains 2% fat, the cream

inessss [21]

Answer: 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the volume of mixture (6%fat) in cup is 100cc

x cc be the volume of cream (18% fat) in the mixture.

∴

(100−x) cc be the volume of milk (2% fat) in the mixture.

x * 0.18+(100−x) * 0.02=100

⋅0.06 or 0.18x − 0.02x = 6−2 or 0.16x

= 4 or x=25 cc = 25%

The prices of three t-shirts styles are $24, $30 and $36. the probability of choosing a $24 t-shirt is 1/6. the probability of c

Slav-nsk [51]

$\text{Answer} : \text{The expected value of a t-shirt is \$31.}$

Explanation:

Since we have given that

The prices of three t-shirts styles i.e $24, $30, $36 with their probability is given by

$\frac{1}{6}, \frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{3}$

As we know that,

$E(X)= \sum_{1}^{3}x_iP(x_i)$

$\text{where} x_i \text{ is the prices of t- shirts styles}$

Now,

$x_1= \$24 , x_2=\$30 , x_3=$36$

and

$P(x_1)=\frac{1}{6},P(x_2)=\frac{1}{2}, P(x_3)=\frac{1}{3}$

So,

$E(X)= 24\times \frac{1}{6}+30\times\frac{1}{2}+36\times \frac{1}{3}\\=4+15+12\\=31$

So, the expected value of a t-shirt = $31.

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, what is the positive solution to the quadratic equation 0=2x2+3x-8?

Basile [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is

2x^2+3x-8 = 0

To find the roots of the equation. We will apply the general formula for quadratic equations

x = -b ± √b^2 - 4ac]/2a

from the equation,

a = 2

b = 3

c = -8

It becomes

x = [- 3 ± √3^2 - 4(2 × -8)]/2×2

x = - 3 ± √9 - 4(- 16)]/2×2

x = [- 3 ± √9 + 64]/2×2

x = [- 3 ± √73]/4

x = [- 3 ± 8.544]/4

x = (-3 + 8.544) /4 or x = (-3 - 8.544) / 4

x = 5.544/4 or - 11.544/4

x = 1.386 or x = - 2.886

The positive solution is 1.39 rounded up to the nearest hundredth

Abbey wants to use her savings of $1,325 to learn yoga. The total charges to learn yoga include a fixed registration fee of $35

Brums [2.3K]

So for this, this can be written into the equation $y=50x+35$ (x = number of months, y = total cost).

To solve this problem, we need to plug in 1325 into the y-variable and solve from there.

$1325=50x+35$

Subtract 35 on each side to get $1290=50x$

Then just divide by 50 on each side, and your answer should be $25.8=x$

And because we cannot go past budget, we will have to round down to 25. In context, the maximum amount of months Abbey can do is 25 months.
