Answer:

Cost of 3 pounds of apples = $5.25

Cost of unit pounds of apples = $\frac{5.25}{3}= 1.75$ dollars.

So, price is $1.75 per pound.

At this rate, how many pounds of apples can be purchased for $17.50

Amount of apples = $\frac{17.50}{1.75}=10$ pounds

Let x represent the number of pounds of apples and y the total cost of the apples.

So, the equation that represents the direct variation between the total cost of the apples and the number of pounds of apples

$y=1.75x$

$1.75 per pound of apples, 10 apples can be purchased for $17.50 because you divide 17.50 by 1.75 since that is your unit rate per pound.

Answer:

The width is: $w(x)=4x^2$

The length is $l(x)=2x^2+3x+5$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given rectangle has area given algebraically by the function:

$a(x)=8x^5+12x^3+20x^2$

The width of the rectangle is the greatest common factor of $8x^5$ , $12x^3$ and $20x^2$

That is the width is: $w(x)=4x^2$

We now divide the area by the width to obtain the length of the rectangle:

$l(x)=\frac{8x^5+12x^3+20x^2}{4x^2}$

This simplifies to:

$l(x)=\frac{8x^5}{4x^2}+\frac{12x^3}{4x^2}+\frac{20x^2}{4x^2}$

$l(x)=2x^2+3x+5$

After allowing 20% discount on the marked price with 13%

saveliy_v [14]

<u>Answer:</u>

The marked price of the article is 22,600

<u>Explanation: </u>

Given, selling price of an article SP = Rs. 18080

To calculate marked price MP, the formula used is

$\mathrm{SP}=\mathrm{MP}\left(1-\frac{D \%}{100}\right)$

Discount D = 20%

Substituting the given values

SP = $\mathrm{MP}\left(1-\frac{20}{100}\right)$

18080 = $\mathrm{MP}\left(1-\frac{1}{5}\right)$

$18080=\mathrm{MP}\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)$

$\mathrm{MP}=\frac{18080 \times 5}{4}$

MP = Rs. 22,600

Therefore the marked price of the article is 22,600

Craig ran the first part of a race with an average speed of 8 miles per hour and biked the second part of a race with an average

lutik1710 [3]

Let the distance of the first part of the race be x, and that of the second part, 15 - x, then
x/8 + (15 - x)/20 = 1.125
5x + 2(15 - x) = 40 x 1.125
5x + 30 - 2x = 45
3x = 45 - 30 = 15
x = 15/3 = 5

Therefore, the distance of the first part of the race is 5 miles and the time is 5/8 = 0.625 hours or 37.5 minutes
The distance of the second part of the race is 15 - 5 = 10 miles and the time is 1.125 - 0.625 = 0.5 hours or 30 minutes.

Exhibit 11-2 We are interested in determining whether the variances of the sales at two music stores (A and B) are equal. A samp

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Option A , should not be rejected

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Sample 1 $n=25$

Standard deviation 1 $\sigma_1=30$

Sample 2 $n=16$

Standard deviation 2 $\sigma_2=20$

Level of confidence $\alpha=95\%=>0.95$

Generally The Hypothesis are given as

$H_0:\sigma_1^2=\sigma_1^2$

$H_1:\sigma_1^2\neq \sigma_1^2$

Generally the equation for test Statistics is mathematically given by

$T=\frac{\sigma_1^2}{\sigma_2^2}$

$T=\frac{30^2}{20^2}$

$T=2.25$

Therefore

Critical Value

$X=(\alpha,df_1)$

$X'=(\alpha,df_2)$

Where

$df=n-1$

Therefore

$X=(0.95,24)$

$X'=(0.95,15)$

From Table

$T_{Critical}=T_x,T_{x'}$

$T_{Critical}=0.41,2.701$

Therefore

$T_x$

Hence,We fail to reject the Null Hypothesis $H_0$

Option A , should not be rejected
