Let x <u>represent</u> the <u>number of cups</u> of Superfiber Will ate this week and let y represent the number cups of Fiber Oats he ate this week.

1. If in Superfiber cereal, there are 5 grams of fiber in one cup, then in x cups there are $5\cdot x=5x$ grams of fiber.

2. If in Fiber Oats cereal, there are 4 grams of fiber in one cup, then in y cups there are $4\cdot y=4y$ grams of fiber.

3. The total amount of fiber Will ate is $5x+4y$ grams.

4. This week Will ate at least 30 grams of fiber. Then

$5x+4y\ge 30.$

Answer: correct choice is A.

Answer: the inequality is: a)5x + 4y ≥ 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to solve this problem we have to analyze the information given:

x : number of cups of Superfiber

1 Superfiber cup has 5 grams of fiber ≤ 30

y: number cups of Fiber Oats

1 Fiber Oats cup has 4 grams of fiber

So, the cereal Will ate this week contained at least 30 grams of fiber. At least means more or equal ( ≤ 30 ).

If each cup of Superfiber cup has 5 grams of fiber ⇒ 5x

If each cup of Fiber Oats cup has 4 grams of fiber ⇒ 5y

Finally, the inequality is:

a)5x + 4y ≥ 30

Water has a density of 1.0 g/cm3. What is the mass of 10.0 cm3 of water?

fgiga [73]

1.0g/cm3 means that the mass of one cm3 is 1.0g
The easiest method to use is the rule of three, and let x be the mass of 10.0 cm3 of water
1g -- > 1.0 cm3
x --> 10.0 cm3

x= (10*1)/1
x=10.0 g

So the mass of 10.0 cm3 of water is 10.0g

Hope this Helps! :)

A survey found that 73% of adults have a landline at their residence (event A); 83% have a cell phone (event B). It is known tha

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

3. What is the probability that an adult selected at random has both a landline and a cell phone?

A. 0.58

4. Given an adult has a cell phone, what is the probability he does not have a landline?

C. 0.3012

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this problem building the Venn's diagram of these probabilities.

I am going to say that:

A is the probability that an adult has a landline at his residence.

B is the probability that an adult has a cell phone.

C is the probability that a mean is neither of those.

We have that:

$A = a + (A \cap B)$

In which a is the probability that an adult has a landline but not a cell phone and $A \cap B$ is the probability that an adult has both of these things.

By the same logic, we have that:

$B = b + (A \cap B)$

The sum of all the subsets is 1:

$a + b + (A \cap B) + C = 1$

2% of adults have neither a cell phone nor a landline.

This means that $C = 0.02$ .

73% of adults have a landline at their residence (event A); 83% have a cell phone (event B)

So $A = 0.73, B = 0.83$ .

What is the probability that an adult selected at random has both a landline and a cell phone?

This is $A \cap B$ .

We have that $A = 0.73$ . So

$A = a + (A \cap B)$

$a = 0.73 - (A \cap B)$

By the same logic, we have that:

$b = 0.83 - (A \cap B)$ .

So

$a + b + (A \cap B) + C = 1$

$0.73 - (A \cap B) + 0.83 - (A \cap B) + (A \cap B) + 0.02 = 1$

$(A \cap B) = 0.75 + 0.83 - 1 = 0.58$

So the answer for question 3 is A.

4. Given an adult has a cell phone, what is the probability he does not have a landline?

83% of the adults have a cellphone.

We have that

$b = B - (A \cap B) = 0.83 - 0.58 = 0.25$

25% of those do not have a landline.

So $P = \frac{0.25}{0.83} = 0.3012$

The answer for question 4 is C.

one side of a right angled triangle is 10cm the other two are both of length x calculate x to 2 decimal place

shepuryov [24]

Answer: $x = 7.07$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras theorem , since it is a right angled triangle ,

side 1 = 10cm

side 2 = x cm

side 3 = x cm

Pythagoras theorem states that the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides. That is

$10^{2}=x^{2} +x^{2}$

100 = $2x^{2}$

divide through by 2 , we have

50 = $x^{2}$

find the square root of both sides

$x = \sqrt{50}$

$x = 7.07$

Which correctly applies the distributive property to show an equivalent expression to (–2.1)(3.4)?

Elena L [17]

To correctly apply the distributive property, we can multiply the parenthesized terms makong sure to have the correct positive and negative signs. Distributive the -2.1 by multiplying it by 3.4 to get -7.14 as your equivalent expression.
