Answer:

The length of the river on a map is $9.6\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale of the map is $1:5,000,000$

That means

1 cm on a map is 5,000,000 cm on the actual

1 cm on a map is 50 km cm on the actual

using proportion

$\frac{1}{50}\frac{cm}{km}=\frac{x}{480}\frac{cm}{km}\\ \\x=480/50\\ \\x=9.6\ cm$

Which system of equations can be used to find the roots of the equation 12 x 3-5x=2 x 2+x+6

kirill [66]

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

The system of equation becomes

$y=12x^3-5x\\\\ y=2x^2+x+6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Equation $12x^3-5x=2x^2+x+6$

We have to construct a system of equations that can be used to find the roots of the equation $12x^3-5x=2x^2+x+6$

Consider the given equation $12x^3-5x=2x^2+x+6$

To construct a system of equation put both sides of the given equation equal to a same variable.

Let the variable be "y", Then the equation $12x^3-5x=2x^2+x+6$

becomes,

$12x^3-5x=y=2x^2+x+6$

Thus, The system of equation becomes

$y=12x^3-5x\\\\ y=2x^2+x+6$

Option (a) is correct.

A university warehouse has received a shipment of 25 printers, of which 10 are laser printers and 15 are inkjet models. If 6 of

Answer:

The probability is 0.31

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability, we will consider the following approach. Given a particular outcome, and considering that each outcome is equally likely, we can calculate the probability by simply counting the number of ways we get the desired outcome and divide it by the total number of outcomes.

In this case, the event of interest is choosing 3 laser printers and 3 inkjets. At first, we have a total of 25 printers and we will be choosing 6 printers at random. The total number of ways in which we can choose 6 elements out of 25 is $\binom{25}{6}$ , where $\binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{(n-k)!k!}$ . We have that $\binom{25}{6} = 177100$

Now, we will calculate the number of ways to which we obtain the desired event. We will be choosing 3 laser printers and 3 inkjets. So the total number of ways this can happen is the multiplication of the number of ways we can choose 3 printers out of 10 (for the laser printers) times the number of ways of choosing 3 printers out of 15 (for the inkjets). So, in this case, the event can be obtained in $\binom{10}{3}\cdot \binom{15}{3} = 54600$

So the probability of having 3 laser printers and 3 inkjets is given by

$\frac{54600}{177100} = \frac{78}{253} = 0.31$

Maria is making paper flowers as decorations for the fall dance. She has made 40 flowers so far, and she is 16% finished. If she

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

the number of additional she needed is 135

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

GIven that

40 flowers of 16%

So for 100% it would be

= 40 ×100 ÷ 16

= 250

Now she needs to make is

= 70% - 16%

= 54%

Now the additional would be

= 250 × 54%

= 135

Hence, the number of additional she needed is 135

xz_007 [3.2K]

We have been given that Darren invests $4,500 into an account that earns 5% annual interests. We are asked to find the amount in his account after 10 years, if the interest rate is compounded annually, quarterly, monthly, or daily.

We will use compound interest formula to solve our given problem.

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$ , where,
