Write and solve an inequality:

Total(t) = $5.42 + ($1.08/therm)(t) ≤ $87.50.

First, subtract $5.42 from $87.50:  then ($1.08/therm)(t) ≤ $82.08

Next, divide both sides by $1.08 per therm:


t ≤ ($82.08) / ($1.08/therm) = 76 therms (maximum).  Thus, Rameen's usage could be [0,76] (therms).

On a coordinate plane, a triangle has points (negative 5, 1), (2, 1), (2, negative 1).
daser333 [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a triangle has points:

(-5,1),(2,1), (2,-1)

Let us label the points:

A(2,1),

B(-5,1) and  

C(2,-1)

To find:

Distance between (−5, 1) and (2, −1) i.e. BC.

Horizontal leg AB and

Vertical leg, AC.

Solution:

Please refer to the attached diagram for the labeling of the points on xy coordinate plane.

We can simply use Distance formula here, to find the distance between two coordinates.

Distance formula :

D = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

For BC:

x_2 = 2\\x_1 = -5\\y_2 = -1\\y_1 = 1

BC = \sqrt{(2--5)^2+(-1-1)^2} = \sqrt{63}

Horizontal leg, AC:

x_2 = -5\\x_1 = 2\\y_2 = 1\\y_1 = 1

AC = \sqrt{(2-(-5))^2+(1-1)^2} = 7

Vertical Leg,  AB:

x_2 = 2\\x_1 = 2\\y_2 = -1\\y_1 = 1

AB = \sqrt{(2-2)^2+(-1-1)^2} = 2

A recipe for casserole calls for 2 cups of rice. The recipe makes 6 servings of casserole. how many cups of rice will you need t
ss7ja [257]

You will need 3.333.... cups of rice to make 10 servings of casserole.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

The recipe which makes 6 servings of casserole, needs 2 cups of rice.

Suppose, you need x cups of rice for making 10 servings of casserole.

Now, the equation according to <u>the ratio of "cups of rice" to the "servings of casserole" </u>will be.....

\frac{x}{10}=\frac{2}{6}\\ \\ 6x= 2*10=20\\ \\ x=\frac{20}{6}=3.333.....

So, you will need 3.333.... cups of rice to make 10 servings of casserole.

PLEASE HELPPPP , WILL GIVE BRAINLIESTTTTT
insens350 [35]

Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

What I did was just play with the numbers. But first, you'd multiply 6.00 time 3 because it's for the three people. Then just multiply 18 with .8 and bingo! The answer you get is 14.40, so the discount would be 80%

Hope this helps!

An Epson inkjet printer ad advertises that the black ink cartridge will provide enough ink for an average of 245 pages. Assume t
Neko [114]

Answer:

35.2% probability that the sample mean will be 246 pages or more

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 245 \sigma = 15, n = 33, s = \frac{15}{\sqrt{33}} = 2.61

What the probability that the sample mean will be 246 pages or more?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 246. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{246 - 245}{2.61}

Z = 0.38

Z = 0.38 has a pvalue of 0.6480.

1 - 0.6480 = 0.3520

35.2% probability that the sample mean will be 246 pages or more
