Given:

Free ice cream maker to anyone who spends at least $100 on buckets of ice cream and frozen yogurt.

Each bucket of ice cream costs $7.28

Each bucket of frozen yogurt costs $8.21.

To find:

The inequality represents number of ice cream and frozen yogurt that she may buy in addition to get a free ice cream maker.

Solution:

Let i be the number of buckets of ice cream and y be the number of buckets of frozen yogurt.

According to the question, total amount spend on both must be greater than or equal to $100 to get a free ice cream maker.

$7.28i+8.21y\geq 100$

$8.21y\geq 100-7.28i$

Divide both sides by 8.21.

$y\geq \dfrac{100-7.28i}{8.21}$

Therefore, the required inequality is $y\geq \dfrac{100-7.28i}{8.21}$ .

An aquarium is expanding its touch tank exhibit and is going to double the dimensions of the original tank.

If you double the dimensions of the tank, you also double the volume of the tank.
Therefore, volume of the new touch tank = 2000 x 2 = 4000 ft^3

A manager receives 8 applications for a specific position. She wants to narrow it down to 5. In how many ways can she rank 5 app

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

56 number of ways

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is a combination question since it involves selection.

Generally, if r objects are to be selected from n pool of objects, this can be done in nCr number of ways.

nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!

If a manager receives 8 applications for a specific position and wants to narrow it down to 5, the number of ways he can do this is 8C5

8C5 = 8!/(8-5)!5!

= 8!/3!5!

= 8*7*6*5!/3*2*5!

= 8*7*6/3*2

= 8*7

= 56 number of ways.

This means that the manager can rank 5 applications in 56 number of ways

Rectangular arrays whose dimensions are whole numbers can be used to illustrate the factors of a number. What can be said about

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) For a prime numbers we have array with 2 rectangulars R1: a=1 and b=prime number; R2: a=prime number and b=1. Both has the same are, that prime number.

b) For a composite number which are not square number we have rectanular array with even numbers of ractangulars. For example, number 6.

R1: a=1,b=6; R2: a=2,b=3; R3: a=3, b=2; R4: a=6,b=1. Each rectangular has the same area, 6.

c) The square number we alway have te odd number of rectanulars, because of the square a=x,b=x can not be simetric. For example 16.

R1: a=1,b=16; R2: a=2 , b=8; R3: a=4,b=4; R4: a=8, b=2; R5:a=16,b=1.Each rectangular has the same area, 16.

Ben swims 50,000 yards per week in his practices. Given this amount of training, he will swim the 100-yard butterfly in 51.5

Elanso [62]

Answer:

MArginal productivity: $\frac{dt}{dL}=-0.0002$

We can interpret this as he will reduce his time an <em>additional </em>0.0002 seconds for every <em>additional </em>yard he trains.

Step-by-step explanation:

The marginal productivy is the instant rate of change in the result for an increase in one unit of a factor.

In this case, the productivity is the time he last in the 100-yard. The factor is the amount of yards he train per week.

The marginal productivity can be expressed as:

$\frac{dt}{dL}$

where dt is the variation in time and dL is the variation in training yards.

We can not derive the function because it is not defined, but we can approximate with the last two points given:

$\frac{dt}{dL}\approx\frac{\Delta t}{\Delta L} =\frac{t_2-t_1}{L_2-L_1}=\frac{44.6-46.4}{70,000-60,000}=\frac{-2.0}{10,000}=-0.0002$

Then we can interpret this as he will reduce his time an <em>additional </em>0.0002 seconds for every <em>additional </em>yard he trains.

This is an approximation that is valid in the interval of 60,000 to 70,000 yards of training.
