So first we will add together the fractions. 3/4 is equal to 6/8, so we will add 6/8 to 7/8 and get 13/8, or 1 5/8.  Then we can add together the whole numbers, 19 and 18, to get 37. Then add 37 + 1 5/8 and get 38 5/8. Lastly, we subtract that amount from 50 to get a finale number of 11 3/8. The pet store donated 11 3/8 pounds of cat food! Hope this helps!

50 - (19 3/4 + 18 7/8) = the cat food
50 - (19 6/8 + 18 7/8) 
50 - (37 13/8) =
50 - (38 5/8) = 
11 3/8 lbs of cat food <==

A standard six-sided die is rolled $6$ times. You are told that among the rolls, there was one $1,$ two $2$'s, and three $3$'s.
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Sequence = 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6 rolls of a die;

Required

Determine the possible sequence of rolls

From the question, we understand that there were three possible outcomes when the die was rolled;

The outcomes are either of the following faces: 1, 2 and 3

Total Number of rolls = 6

Possible number of outcomes = 3

The possible sequence of rolls is then calculated by dividing the factorial of the above parameters as follows;

Sequence = \frac{6!}{3!}

Sequence = \frac{6 * 5 * 4* 3!}{3!}

Sequence = 6 * 5 * 4

Sequence = 120

Hence, there are 120 possible sequence.

A hot tub pump circulates 4 cubic feet of water per minute. How many cubic inches of water does it circulate each minute?
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

48 Cubic Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

One foot, whether it be squared, cubed, or otherwise changed, will always equal twelve inches to the same power. So, 4 cubic feet is 48 cubic inches because 4*12=48

The unit cost, in dollars, to produce bins of cat food is $3 and the fixed cost is $6972. The price-demand function, in dollars
stellarik [79]

Answer:

Revenue , Cost and Profit Function

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given the Price/Demand Function as

P(x) = 253-2x

which means when the demand of Cat food is x units , the price will be fixed as 253-2x per unit.

Now let us revenue generated from this demand i.e. x units

Revenue = Demand * Price per unit

R(x) = x * (253-2x)

      = 253x-2x^2

Now let us Evaluate the Cost Function

Cost = Variable cost + Fixed Cost

Variable cost = cost per unit * number of units

                      = 3*x

                      = 3x

Fixed Cost = 6972 as given in the problem.

Hence

Cost Function C(x) = 3x+6972

Let us now find the Profit Function

Profit = Revenue - Cost

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

= 253x-2x^2 - (3x + 6972)

= 253x-3x-2x^2-6972\\= 250x-2x^2-6972\\=-2x^2+250x-6972\\

Now we have to find the quantity at which we attain break even point.

We know that at break even point

Profit = 0

Hence P(x) = 0

-2x^2+250x-6972=0\\

now we have to solve the above equation for x

Dividing both sides by -2 we get

x^2-125x+3486=0

Now we have to find the factors of 3486 whose sum is 125. Which comes out to be 42 and 83

Hence we now solve the above quadratic equation using splitting the middle term method .

Hence

x^2-42x-83x+3486=0\\x(x-42)-83(x-42)=0\\(x-42)(x-83)=0\\

Either (x-42) = 0 or (x-83) = 0 therefore

if x-42= 0 ; x=42

if x-83=0 ; x=83

Smallest of which is 42. Hence the number of units at which it attains the break even point is 42.

Se the divergence theorem to calculate the surface integral s f · ds; that is, calculate the flux of f across s. f(x, y, z) = x2
pishuonlain [190]
\mathbf f(x,y,z)=x^2\sin y\,\mathbf i+x\cos y\,\mathbf j-xz \sin y\,\mathbf k
\implies\nabla\cdot\mathbf f(x,y,z)=2x\sin y-x\sin y-x\sin y=0

which means

\displaystyle\iint_S\mathbf f(x,y,z)\,\mathrm dS=\iiint_R\nabla\cdot\mathbf f(x,y,z)\,\mathrm dV=0

Geometry: Line QS bisects angle PQR. Solve for x and find the measure of angle PQR.
Kazeer [188]

It is given in the question that,

Line QS bisects angle PQR. Solve for x and find the measure of angle PQR.

And

m \angle PQS = 2x+1&#10;\\&#10;m \angle RQS = 4x-15

Since QS bisects angle PQR, therefore

m \angle PQS = m \angle RQS

Substituting the values, we will get

2x+1=4x-15&#10;\\&#10;1+15 = 4x-2x&#10;\\&#10;2x = 16&#10;\\&#10;x = 8
