that particular chocolate powder has a mass of 128 grams. She added 2/3 of a cup of chocolate powder to the flour. Should Laura add more chocolate powder to make the exact recipe, or did she go over and by what amount?
A) She went over by 1/3 of a cup
B) She needs to add 1/3 of a cup
C) She needs to add 1/6 of a cup
D) She went over by 1/6 of a cup

Answer: Using operations with fraction to solve the problem, Laura went over by 1/6 of a cup (option D).


Solution:

The recipe says that she has to mix 64 grams of chocolate powder to the flour. Like 1 cup of that particular chocolate powder has a mass of 128 grams, 64 grams represent:

64/128=(64/64)/(128/64)=1/2 of a cup of chocolate

She added 2/3 of a cup of chocolate powder to the flour. If we compare:

2/3=0.67 > 1/2=0.5

Then, she went over by:

2/3-1/2=[(2(2)-3(1)]6=(4-3)/6=1/6 of a cup

She went over by 1/6 of a cup because 64 is half of 128 and 2/3 is greater then 1/2

The tables represent two linear functions in a system.<br><br> What is the solution to this system?
Darya [45]

The solution to this system is (x, y) = (8, -22).

The y-values get closer together by 2 units for each 2-unit increase in x. The difference at x=2 is 6, so we expect the difference in y-values to be zero when we increase x by 6 (from 2 to 8).

You can extend each table after the same pattern.

In table 1, x-values increase by 2 and y-values decrease by 8.

In table 2, x-values increase by 2 and y-values decrease by 6.

The attachment shows the tables extended to x=10. We note that the y-values are the same (-22) for x=8 (as we predicted above). That means the solution is ...

... (x, y) = (8, -22)

Fed [463]

Answer:

we cannot conclude hat the proportion of wives married less than two years who planned to have children is significantly higher than the proportion of wives married five years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a study on the fertility of married women conducted by Martin O’Connell and Carolyn C. Rogers for the Census Bureau in 1979, two groups of childless wives aged 25 to 29 were selected at random, and each was asked if she eventually planned to have a child. One group was selected from among wives married less than two years and the other from among wives married five years.

Let X be the group married less than 2 years and Y less than 5 years

                         X        Y     Total

Sample size   300   300    600

Favouring       240   288    528

p                      0.8     0.96  0.88

H_0: p_x=p_y\\H_a: p_x>p_y

p difference = -0.16

Std error for difference = \sqrt{0.88*0.12/600} =0.01327

Test statistic = p difference/std error=-6.03

p value <0.000001

Since p is less than alpha 0.05 we cannot conclude hat the proportion of wives married less than two years who planned to have children is significantly higher than the proportion of wives married five years

A carnival has two payment options. Plan A, you pay $10 admission plus $3 for each ride. Plan B, you pay a $20 admission plus $1
stiks02 [169]
<span>Let x = # of rides

Plan A: 10 + 3x

Plan B: 20 + x

if x < 5 rides then plan A is better buy
if x = 5 both plans are the same
if x > 5 then plan B is the best buy

Prove:
x = 6 (rides)

plan A: </span>10 + 3x = 10 + 3(6) = 10+18 = $28
plan B: 20 + x = 20 + 6 = $26

On a coordinate grid, both point (−4, −1) and (2, 6) point are reflected across the y-axis. What are the coordinates of the refl
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Option D. (4, −1) and (−2, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The rule of the reflection of a point across the y-axis is equal to

(x,y) -----> (-x,y)

so

Applying the rule of the reflection

(−4, −1) -----> (4, −1)

(2, 6)----- (-2, 6)
