-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{time it takes to fill a tank varies inversely with the water rate}\\\\
t=\cfrac{k}{w}\quad 
\begin{cases}
t=\textit{time to fill}\\
w=\textit{water rate}
\end{cases}

\bf \textit{we also know that }
\begin{cases}
w=\stackrel{g/min}{8}\\
t=\stackrel{min}{45}
\end{cases}\implies 45=\cfrac{k}{8}\implies 360=k
\\\\\\
therefore\qquad \boxed{t=\cfrac{360}{w}}
\\\\\\
\textit{now if w = 15, what is \underline{t}?}\qquad t=\cfrac{360}{15}

A pizza shop sells pizzas that are 10 inches (in diameter) or larger. A 10-inch cheese pizza costs
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

A pizza shop sells pizzas that are 10 inches orr larger. A 10-inch cheese pizza costs $8 and each additional costs $1.50 and each additional topping costs $0.75.

The equation that represents the cost of a pizza is:

P = $10 + $1.50a + $0.75b

Where 'a' represents the number additional inches and 'b' represents the number of additional toppings.

The equation 3w + 4j = 39 is used to determine the number of water bottles w and the number of juice bottles j that can be bough
jarptica [38.1K]

Juice bottles are J, replace j with 6 in the equation and solve for w:

3w + 4(6) = 39

3w + 24 =39

Subtract 24 from both sides:

3w = 15

Divide both sides by 3:

w = 15/3

w = 5

You can buy 5 water bottles.

A researcher says to the respondents in a poll, “Eating too many sugary foods leads to cavities. Would you rather have soda or w
mafiozo [28]

The correct answer is B. No, the wording of the question makes respondents more likely to say water, even if they may actually prefer soda at a meal.

Explanation:

One important factor when designing questions in research is to avoid any language that might influence the answers of respondents. This recommendation was not followed in the question "Eating too many sugary foods leads to cavities. Would you rather have soda or water served with your meal?" because mentioning sugary foods, which includes soda, leads to cavities will make respondents consider soda is negative and they are more likely to choose water. This implies the wording in the question influences respondents and introduces bias, which is inappropriate. Thus, the correct answer is B.

In a representative sample of 1000 adult Americans, only 460 could name at least one justice who is currently serving on the U.S
stellarik [79]

Answer:

P=2.326

Step-by-step explanation:

Raw Score (X):=1000

Population Mean (μ):=460

Standard Deviation (σ): =Sqrt(npq)

Where n=1000, p=460/1000=0.46 and q=1-0.46=0.54

Sqrt(npq)=sqrt(460X0.54)=15.7607

Z = (X - μ) / σ

Z = (1000 - 460) / 15.7607

Z = 34.26244

For p-value 0.01

P(x=0.01) = 2.32635

Hence, P=2.326 t 3 decimal places.

A cube with side length 2f is stacked on another cube with side length 3g2. Choose the expression that represents the total volu
Reil [10]
The expression that represents the total volume of both cubes is 8f^3+27g^6.

The volume of a cube is found by multiplying its length, width, and height; for the first cube, this is 
V=(2f)(2f)(2f)=8f³.

For the second cube, this is
V=(3g²)(3g²)(3g²)=27g⁶.

The total area is their sum, so 8f³+27g⁶.
