Answer:

= 391/11

Let say number = N

a certain number is increased by 5

= N + 5

,one-half of the result

= (N + 5)/2

Three -fifths of the excess of 61 over the number.

= (3/5)(61 - N)

Equating both

(N + 5)/2  = (3/5)(61 - N)

multiplying by 10 both sides

=> 5(N + 5) = 6(61 - N)

=> 5N + 25 = 366 - 6N

=> 11N = 391

=> N = 391/11

Basile [38]

Answer:

The required equation is

d = 4c

where d represents the cost of cookies in dollar and c represents the number of boxes of cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, the cost of each box of cookies is $4.

It means,

The cost of 1 box of cookies is $4.

The cost of 2 boxes of cookies is $(4+4)  =$(2×4)

The cost of 3 boxes of cookies is $(4+4+4)  =$(3×4)

The cost of cookies

=(Number of boxes × 4)

The required equation is

d = 4c

where d represents the cost of cookies in dollar and c represents the number of boxes of cookies.

The CEO of a local tech company wants to estimate the proportion of employees that are pleased with the cleanliness of the break
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Methods of obtaining a sample of 600 employees from the 4,700 workforce:

Part A:  The type of sampling method proposed by the CEO is Convenience Sampling.

Part B: When there are equal number of participants in both campuses, stratification by campus would give a more precise approximation of the proportion of employees who are satisfied with the cleanliness of the breakrooms than stratification by gender.  Another method to ensure that stratification by campus gives a more precise approximation of the proportion of employees who are satisfied with the cleanliness of the breakrooms than stratification by gender is to ensure that the sample is proportional to the proportion of each campus to the whole population or workforce.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Convenience Sampling technique is a non-probability (non-random) sampling method and the participants are selected based on availability (early attendees).  The early attendees might be different from the late attendees in characteristics such as age, sex, etc.  Therefore, sampling biases are present.  All non-probability sampling methods are prone to volunteer bias.

Stratified sampling  is more accurate and representative of the population.  It reduces sampling bias.  The difficulty arises in choosing the characteristic to stratify by.

Gary won $70,000 in the lottery after all tax deductions. He invested part of the money at 11% and deposited the remainder in ta
Paraphin [41]
Let x represent the amount of money he invested at 11% and y money he invested at 12%. Now we write system of equations:

x*1.11 + y*1.12 = 70 000 + 7900
x + y = 70 000

We will multiply second equation with 1.11
x*1.11 + y*1.11 = 77700
and subtract if from first:
0.01*y =  200
y = 20000

x = 70000 - 20000 = 50000

Which expression is equivalent to StartFraction RootIndex 7 StartRoot x squared EndRoot Over RootIndex 5 StartRoot y cubed EndRo
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

\dfrac{\sqrt[7]{x^2}}{\sqrt[5]{y^3}}

where, y\neq 0.

We need to find the expression which is equivalent to the given expression.

The given expression can be rewritten as

\dfrac{(x^2)^{\frac{1}{7}}}{(y^3)^{\frac{1}{5}}}      [\because \sqrt[n]{x}=x^{\frac{1}{n}}]

\dfrac{x^{\frac{2}{7}}}{y^{\frac{3}{5}}}      [\because (a^m)^n=a^{mn}]

x^{\frac{2}{7}}y^{-\frac{3}{5}}      [\because a^{-n}=\dfrac{1}{a^n}]

Therefore, the correct option is A.
