Answer:


the science fiction books and five mystery books in each package. This is because 6 is the highest common factor of both 48 and 30, and 6 x 8 = 48 and 6 x 5 = 30.

Answer:

30 pakages

Step-by-step explanation:

If 6 times 8 = 48

you would need to do =

What is the greatest whole number that will divide both 792 and 990 exactly
Nastasia [14]
Factor the numbers, starting from the smallest:
792=2*3*3*11*4
990=2*3*3*11*5
the greatest whole number that can be divided by both 792 and 990 is 2*3*3*11=198
the smallest whole number that can divide both 792 and 990 exactly is 2*3*3*11*4*5=3960

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would set up the hypothesis test. This is a test of a single population mean since we are dealing with mean

For the null hypothesis,

H0: µ = 5000

For the alternative hypothesis,

H1: µ > 5000

Since the population standard deviation is given, z score would be determined from the normal distribution table. The formula is

z = (x - µ)/(σ/√n)

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = population standard deviation

n = number of samples

From the information given,

µ = 5000

x = 5430

σ = 600

n = 40

z = (5430 - 5000)/(600/√40) = 4.53

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is < 0.0001

Since alpha, 0.05 > than the p value, then we would reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, at a 5% level of significance, it can be concluded that they walked more than the mean number of 5000 steps per day.

A boat on the ocean is 2 mi from the nearest point on a straight? shoreline; that point is 15 mi from a restaurant on the shore.
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

a) x  =  0,70 miles

T  =  1/2* (√4 + x²)  +( 15 - x )/3   Objective Function to minimize

b) V(min)  = 2.59 m/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume the boat is in Point A,  she lands in point B, and R  is the restaurant

Let call  x distance between the point O in  which perpendicular line from the boat get to shoreline, and the point were she land.

We know  distance is

d = v*t       ⇒  t = d/v

She rows at 2 miles/hr  and walk at 3 miles /hr

According to that she takes

c (hypotenuse) of right triangle  AOB/ 2 rowing

and  15 - x /3  walking

Total time is:

T  =  c/2  + ( 15-x )/3          c =√(2)² + x²     ⇒  T = [√(2)² + x²  ] /2  +  ( 15-x )/3  

T  =  1/2* (√4 + x²)  +( 15 - x )/3   (1)

And that is  the Objective function to minimize

a) Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get

T´(t)  =  x /( √4 + x²)  - 1/3    ⇒   T´(t)  = 0     x /( √4 + x²)  - 1/3 = 0

3*x - √( √4 + x²) = 0     ⇒  3*x  =  √( √4 + x²)

Squaring both sides

9x²  =  4 + x²     ⇒  8x²  = 4       x² = 1/2      x  =  0,70 miles

If we plug this value in the Objective function we will get the minimum time

1/2* (√4 + x²)  +( 15 - x )/3    ⇒ [√ 4  + 0,5] /2 +  14,3/3 = T (min)

T(min)  =  1.06 + 4.77  = 5.83 hr

Distance L (hypotenuse of right triangle AOR)

L = √(2)²  + (15)²   L  = 15,13 miles

And that distance have to be traveled at least in 5.83 hr rowing

Then  as  v = d/t      V(min)  =  15.13/ 5.83   ⇒    V(min)  = 2.59 m/hr

Wyatt solved the following equation:
NikAS [45]

Answer:

<u>Option B</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is as following:

x+\frac{1}{2} (6x-4) =6

Step Work Justification

1 2x + 6x − 4 = 12

2 8x − 4 = 12

3 8x = 16

4 x = 2

Which of the following has all of the correct justifications Wyatt used to solve this equation?

A. Distributive property. 2. Combine like terms. 3. Addition property of equality. 4. Division property of equality.

B. Multiplication property of equality. 2. Combine like terms. 3. Addition property of equality. 4. Division property of equality.

C. Distributive property. 2. Combine like terms. 3. Subtraction property of equality. 4. Division property of equality.

D. Multiplication property of equality. 2. Combine like terms. 3. Subtraction property of equality. 4. Division property of equality

<u />

<u>The answer:</u>

Step Work Justification

multiply both sides by 2

1) 2x + 6x − 4 = 12 ⇒  {Multiplication property of equality}

{Combine like terms}

2) 8x − 4 = 12 ⇒

Adding 4 both sides

3) 8x = 16       ⇒ {Addition property of equality}

divide both sides by 8

4) x = 2           ⇒ {Division property of equality}

The answer is option B

(B) Multiplication property of equality. 2. Combine like terms. 3. Addition property of equality. 4. Division property of equality.
