You can divide the two values A = diameter of bacterium B = diameter of virus A/B = (10^(-6))/(10^(-7)) A/B = 10^(-6-(-7)) A/B = 10^(-6+7) A/B = 10^(1) A/B = 10 Since the ratio of the two diameters is 10, this means that the diameter of the bacterium is 10 times greater than that of the virus.

A recipe calls for 2 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of pepper, and 4 tsp of garlic powder. How much pepper and garlic powder would you need
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

amount of pepper required= 7.5 tsp

amount of garlic powder required = 30 tsp

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

amount of salt used for small batch of the recipe = 2 tsp

amount of pepper used for small batch of the recipe = 1 tsp

amount of garlic powder used for small batch of the recipe = 4 tsp

amount of salt used for the larger batch = 15 tsp

                                                             = 2 x 7.5 tsp

                                                             = amount of salt used for small batch the recipe x 7.5

So,

the amount of pepper needed for the larger batch= 7.5 x amount of pepper used for the small batch of recipe

                                                                      = 7.5 x 1 tsp

                                                                       = 7.5 tsp

the amount of garlic powder needed for the larger batch= 7.5 x amount of garlic powder used for the small batch of recipe

                                                                                          = 7.5 x 4 tsp

                                                                                          = 30 tsp

The distance between New York and Philadelphia by railroad is 90 miles; the distance between them by river and ocean is 240 mile
VladimirAG [237]
Start with 90/240, then reduce the fraction
you can reduce by dividing each by 10 to get 9/24
reduce more from there, seeing that each number can be divided by 3
9/3  = 3
24/3 = 8
answer 3/8

The data set shows the admission prices at several museums. $20, $20, $16, $12, $15, $25, $11 Find and interpret the range, inte
Gemiola [76]
11, 12, 15, 16, 20, 20, 25
Mean: 17

The range is 25-11 = 14 (the numbers in bold)

The interquartile range is 20-12=8 (the numbers underlined)

The mean absolute deviation is: 4; this is found by finding how far each number is from 17 (mean): 6,5,2,1,3,3,8  (28) and dividing by 7.

Part B:

The prices vary by no more that $14 (range).

<span>The middle half of the prices vary by no more than $8 (IQR).
</span>
<span>The admission prices differ from the mean price by an average of $4 (MAD).</span>

I've been stuck on this for so long and I have an exam soon, anybody who can help me :'( ?
san4es73 [151]
(i)  speed = distance / time
so time =  distance / speed
here we have

time t = 1080/x  hours

(ii) return flight  time  = 1080 / (x + 30)  hours

(a)  1080/x - 1080/(x + 30) = 1/2

Multiplying  through by the LCD 2x(x + 30) we get:-

1080*2(x + 30) - 2x*1080 = x(x+30)
2160x + 64800 - 2160x = x^2 + 30x
x^2 + 30x - 64800  = 0

(b)  factoring;  -64800 = 270 * -240  ans 270-240 = 30 so we have

(x + 270)(x - 240) = 0   so x = 240  ( we ignore the negative -270)

So the speed for outward journey is 240 km/hr

(c) time ffor outward flight = 1080 / 240 =  4 1/2  hours

(d) average speed for whole flight = distance / time
   Time for outward journey = 4.5 hours and time for  return journey = d / v
= 1080 / (240+30) =  4 hours
 Therefore the average speed for whole journey =  2160 / 8.5 = 254.1 km/hr
