Answer:  The baker needs to pour off 10 liters of the solution and replace it with 10 liters of distilled water.

.6(40) = 24.  .45(40) = 18  24-18 = 6   6 = .6(10)  10 liters must be substituted.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original 60% solution contains 24 L syrup and 16 L water.

A 45% solution must contain 18 L syrup and 22 L water.

The difference in syrup is 6 L.  10 L of the 60% solution contains 6 L syrup.

After pouring off  10 L, the remaining  30 L will contain 18 L syrup and 12 L water.  

By adding 10 L water, the resulting solution is 18 L syrup and 22 L water.

18/40 = .45 which is the desired 45% syrup.

Answer:

10 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

let sugar in  x liters of 60 % sugar syrup be equivalent to sugar in 40 liters of 45 % sugar syrup.

x×60 %=40×45%

60x=40×45=1800

x=1800/60=30

40-30=10

so 10 liters of 60 % sugar syrup be replaced with 10 liters of distilled water to make 40 liters of 45 % sugar syrup.

Rachel measured the lengths of a random sample of 100 screws. The mean length was 2.9 inches, and the population standard deviat
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

z = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the z-statistic is given by:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

In which:

X is the measured value.

\mu is the expected value.

s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} is the standard deviation of the sample. \sigma is the standard deviation of the population.

In this question:

The mean length was 2.9 inches, and the population standard deviation is 0.1 inch.

This means that \mu = 2.9, \sigma = 0.1

Random sample of 100 screws.

This means that n = 100.

To see if the batch of screws has a significantly different mean length from 3 inches, what would the value of the z-test statistic be?

3 inches, so X = 3

s = \frac{0.1}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.01

z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

z = \frac{3 - 2.9}{0.01}

z = 10

Which is an x-intercept of the continuous function in the table?
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

B. (3, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept is the point where the graph of the function meets the x-axis.

At x-intercept, y=0 or f(x)=0

So look through the table and find where f(x)=0.

From the table, f(x)=0 at x=3.

We write this as an ordered pair.

Therefore the x-intercept is (3,0)

The correct choice is B.

Evaluate 10m +\dfrac {n^2}410m+ 4 n 2 ​ 10, m, plus, start fraction, n, squared, divided by, 4, end fraction when m=5m=5m, equal
Readme [11.4K]

Answer: 54

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following expresion provided in the exercise:

10m+\frac{n^2}{4}

You can follow these steps in order to evaluate it when m=5 and n=4:

1. You need to substitute m=5 and n=4 into the given expression:

10(5)+\frac{(4)^2}{4}

2. Now you can solve the mutiplication:

=50+\frac{(4)^2}{4}

3. Since 4^2=4*4, you get:

=50+\frac{16}{4}

4. You must solve the division. Divide the numerator 16 by the denominator 4. Then:

=50+4

5. And finally, you must solve the addition. So, you get this result:

=54

Lian invested an amount of money at an interest rate of 5.2% per year.
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

$6500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of money invested by Lian be $x

Interest rate = 5.2% per year

interest earned in first year will be  5.2% of  amount of money invested by Lian .

(note: since in first year there will be no interest accrued on interest so interest for first year is simple interest )

interest earned in one year if money invested by Lian is $x

= 5.2% of $x  (1)

But , it is given in one year  she received interest of 338 dollars

so, 338 dollars must be equal to 5.2% of $x

equating $338 with  5.2% of $x  , we have

5.2% of x  = 338

=> (5.2/100) * x = 338

=>5.2 x = 338*100

=> x = 33800/5.2 = 6500.

Thus,  amount of money Lian invested is $6500.

Compare the process of solving |x – 1| + 1 < 15 to that of solving |x – 1| + 1 > 15.
kicyunya [14]
In the first case we'd subtract 1 from both sides, obtaining |x-1|<14.

In the second case we'd also subtract 1 from both sides, and would obtain
 |x-1|>14.

What would the graphs look like?

In the first case, the graph would be on the x-axis with "center" at x=1.  From this center count 14 units to the right, and then place a circle around that location (which would be at x=15).  Next, count 14 units to the left of this center, and place a circle around that location (which would be -13).  Draw a line segment connecting the two circles.  Notice that all of the solutions are between -13 and +15, not including these endpoints.

In the second case, x has to be greater than 15 or less than -13.  Draw an arrow from x=1 to the left, and then draw a separate arrow from 15 to the right.  None of the values in between are solutions.
