Ming used the calculations shown to find out how much he would spend on 6 pounds of ground beef if 10 pounds of ground beef cost

$25.00. StartFraction 10 pounds over 25 dollars EndFraction = StartFraction 10 pounds divided by 25 over 25 dollars divided by 25 EndFraction = StartFraction 0.4 over 1 EndFraction. Unit Price = 40 cents. 40 cents times 6 = 2 dollars and 40 cents. What was Ming's error? He determined pounds per dollar by dividing 10 by 25 but wrote the unit rate as a dollar value. He divided the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by 25. He made a mistake when finding the quotient of 10 pounds and 25 dollars. He made a mistake when finding the product of $0.40 and 6.

Answer:

He determined pounds per dollar by dividing 10 by 25 but wrote the unit rate as a dollar value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{10\ pounds}{\$25} = \frac{10\ pounds}{25} / \frac{\$25}{25} = \frac{0.4}{1}

Unit\ Price = 40\ cents

40\ cents * 6 = \$2.40

Required

Determine Ming's error

Ming's error is from here

\frac{10\ pounds}{\$25} = \frac{10\ pounds}{25} / \frac{\$25}{25} = \frac{0.4}{1}

He calculated the unit rate as pound per dollar.

So, after calculating the unit rate, the unit should be:

Unit\ Rate = 0.4\ pound/\$

But instead, he solved as:

Unit\ Rate = \$0.4/ pound

<em>Hence, (a) is correct</em>

Machines A and B always operate independently and at their respective constant rates. When working alone, Machine A can fill a p
pychu [463]

Answer:

The value of x is \frac{10}{3} hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Machine A = 5 hours

Machine B = x hours

Machine A and B = 2 hours

Using the formula: \frac{T}{A}  + \frac{T}{B} = 1

where:

T is the time spend by both machine

A is the time spend by machine A

B is the time spend by machine B

\frac{2}{5}  + \frac{2}{x}  = 1

Let multiply the entire problem by the common denominator (5B)

5x(\frac{2}{5}  + \frac{2}{x} = 1)

2x + 10 = 5x

Collect the like terms

10 = 5x - 2x

10 = 3x

3x = 10

Divide both side by the coefficient of x (3)

\frac{3x}{3}  = \frac{10}{3}

x = \frac{10}{3} hours.

Therefore, Machine B will fill the same lot in \frac{10}{3} hours.

Scilla [17]

Answer:

x≥38 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Julio wants to break his school’s scoring record of 864 points during his 24-game basketball season. During the first 8 games of the season, he scored a total of 256 points. Which inequality can be used to find x, the number of points Julio must average per game during the rest of the season to break the record?

julio has a 24 game basketball season.

he has played 8, it means there are 16 more games to go

therefore=

he has scored 256 nts, wic means there are still 608 points to go .

864-256=608

x is the points he more score per every game.

16x=608

to break the records ,he must score an extra point 1

so 16x≥608

x≥38

In high-school 135 freshmen were interviewed.
timama [110]

Answer:

a) n(none) = 25

b) n(PE but not Bio) = 25

c) n(ENG but not both BIO and PE) = 55

d) n(students that did not take Eng or Bio) = 40

e) P( Students did not take exactly two subjects) = 0.65

Step-by-step explanation:

From the Venn diagram drawn:

a) Number of students that took none

n(Freshmen) = 135

n(all three) = 5

n (PE and Bio) = 10

n(PE and Eng) = 15

n(Bio and Eng) = 7

n (PE and Bio only) = 10 - 5 = 5

n(PE and Eng only) = 15 - 5 = 10

n(Bio and Eng only) = 7 - 5 = 2

n(PE only) = 35 - 5 - 5 - 10 = 15

n(Bio only) = 42 - 5 - 5 - 2 = 30

n(Eng only) = 60 - 10 - 5 -2 = 43

n(Freshmen) = n(PE only) + n(Bio only) + n(Eng only) + n(PE and Bio only) + n(PE and Eng only) + n(Bio and Eng only) + n(all three) + n(none)

135 = 15 + 30 + 43 + 5 + 10 + 2 + 5 + n(none)

135 = 110 + n(none)

n(none) = 135 - 110

n(none) = 25

b)Number of students that too PE but not Bio

n(PE but not bio)= n(PE only) + n(PE and Eng only)

n(PE but not Bio) = 15 + 10

n(PE but not Bio) = 25

c) Number of students that took ENG but not both BIO and PE

n(ENG but not both BIO and PE) = n(Eng only) + n(Eng and Bio only) + n(Eng and PE only) = 43 + 2 + 10

n(ENG but not both BIO and PE) = 55

d) Number of students that did not take ENG or BIO

n( students that did not take Eng or Bio) = n(PE only) + n(none)

n(students that did not take Eng or Bio) = 15 + 25

n(students that did not take Eng or Bio) = 40

e) Probability that a randomly-chosen student from this group did not take exactly two subjects

n( Students that did not take exactly two subjects) = n(PE only) + n(Bio only) + n(Eng only)

n( Students that did not take exactly two subjects) = 15 + 30 + 43

n( Students that did not take exactly two subjects) = 88

P( Students did not take exactly two subjects) = 88/135

P( Students did not take exactly two subjects) = 0.65
