You have to answer all of the equations first

-4.8 • 3.2 = -15.36 (negative times a positive is negative)

2 1/4 + (-1 2/5) first find a common denominator, which would be 20

9/4= 45/20
-7/5 = -28/20

since adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive, you would subtract 45 and 28 which is 17.

17/20 = 1 3/20 (the answer)

turn the fraction into a decimal by dividing the top number by the bottom number, so 17/20 = 0.85

4.92 divided by -3 equals -1.64 (the answer)

-2 3/5 - (-1 2/5)

make them into improper fractions which is -13/5 and -7/5

it stays negative, so the answer is -6/5 or -1.2

so the answer is
-4.8 • 3.2 < 4.2 divided by -3 < -2 3/5 - (-1 2/5) < 2 1/4 + (-1 2/5)

A graphics company charges $50 per hour to create a logo plus $250 for the ownership rights of the logo. A private contractor ch

slavikrds [6]

Answer: $50x+250=75x+100$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A graphics company charges $50 per hour to create a logo plus $250 for the ownership rights of the logo.

Let x be the number of hours , then the total cost to create the logo plus is given by :-

$C(x)=250+50x$

A private contractor charges $75 per hour to develop a logo plus a $100 supply fee.

The total cost to develop logo plus is given by :-

$c(x)=100+75x$

The equation to represent the costs would be the same is given by :_

$C(x)=c(x)\\\Rightarrow50x+250=75x+100$

A snack food manufacturer buys corn for tortilla chips from two cooperatives, one in Iowa and one in Illinois. The price per uni

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

a. x1 = No. of units to purchase from Iowa

x2 = No. of units to purchase from Illinois

b. Min 6x1 + 5.5x2

c. x1 + x2 ≥ 12000

x1 ≤ 8000

x2 ≥ 6000

Step-by-step explanation:

a. We can consider the variables x1 and x2 as:

x1 = No. of units to purchase from Iowa

x2 = No. of units to purchase from Illinois

b. Price per unit of Iowa corn = $6

Price per unit of Illinois corn = $5.5

Objective function that would minimize the total cost can be written as:

Min 6x1 + 5.5x2

c. The manufacturer needs at least 12000 units of corn which means that the combined number of units from Iowa and Illinois must be greater than or equal to 12000. So, we can write:

x1 + x2 ≥ 12000

The Iowa cooperative can supply up to 8000 units which means that the value of x1 must not be greater than 8000. So, we can write:

x1 ≤ 8000

Similarly, the Illinois cooperative can supply at least 6000 units which means that the value of x2 must not be less than 6000. So, we can write:

x2 ≥ 6000.

The constraints for these conditions are:

x1 + x2 ≥ 12000

x1 ≤ 8000

x2 ≥ 6000

Which expression is equivalent to the following complex fraction?

marta [7]

Answer:

$\dfrac{-4x+7}{2(x-2)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to combine the parts of the numerator and denominator into one rational expression each. Those will have the same denominator, so their ratio is the ratio of their numerators.

$\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{x-1}-4}{2-\dfrac{2}{x-1}}=\dfrac{\left(\dfrac{3-4(x-1)}{x-1}\right)}{\left(\dfrac{2(x-1)-2}{x-1}\right)}=\dfrac{3-4(x-1)}{2(x-1)-2}\\\\=\dfrac{3-4x+4}{2x-2-2}=\boxed{\dfrac{-4x+7}{2(x-2)}}$

The probability would be 0.000017.

70% of the 20 questions is 14 questions correct. Using a binomial distribution for this, we have:

$_{20}C_{14}(0.2)^{14}\times (1-0.2)^{20-14}
\\
\\ \frac{20!}{14!6!}\times (0.2)^{14} \times (0.8)^6
