Answer:

210.6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a piece of ribbon is cut into two shorter pieces in the ratio 2.8:1.25.

So that means length of the first smaller piece = 2.8x

and length of the second smaller piece = 1.25x

Then difference between their lengths = 2.8x-1.25x = 1.55x

Given that difference is equal to 80.6 centimeters then we get

1.55x=80.6

or x= 80.6/1.55

or x=52

then length of the original piece = 2.8x+1.25x

= 2.8*52+1.25*52

= 145.6+65

= 210.6 cm

The total revenue that is gained from the sales of the cakes is determined by multiplying the number of cakes by the price. If we let x be the number of $1 that should be deducted from the price and y be the total revenue,
                               y = (25 - x)(100 + 5x)
Simplifying, 
                              y = 2500 + 25x - 5x²
We get the value of x that will give us the maximum revenue by differentiating the equation and equating the differential to zero.
                             dy/dx = 0 = 25 - 10x
The value of x is 2.5. 
 The price of the cake should be 25 - 2.5 = 22.5. 
Thus, the price of the cake that will give the maximum potential revenue is $22.5.

The area of a small pond is 78.5 yds. What is the diameter of the pond?
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Diameter of pound = 10 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Given area of circular pond = 78.5 square yd

To find the diameter of the pond.

Solution:

The pond being circular in shape, the area of pond can be given as:

⇒ \pi\ r^2

where r represents radius of the pond.

Thus, we have:

⇒ \pi\ r^2=78.5

Using \pi=3.14

⇒ 3.14r^2=78.5

Solving for r

Dividing both sides by 3.14

⇒ \frac{3.14r^2}{3.14}=\frac{78.5}{3.14}

⇒ r^2=25

Taking square root both sides.

⇒ \sqrt{r^2}=\sqrt{25}

⇒ r=\pm5

So, radius = 5 yd, as distances are always positive.

Diameter = 2\times radius=2\times 5\ yd= 10\ yd

Thus, diameter of pound = 10 yd

maria [59]

Answer:

The null hypothesis is that all the different teaching methods have the same average test scores.

H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 = μ4 = μ5

The alternative hypothesis is that at least one of the teaching methods have a different mean.

Ha: at least one mean is different. (μ1 ≠ μi)

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis (H0) tries to show that no significant variation exists between variables or that a single variable is no different than its mean. While an alternative Hypothesis (Ha) attempt to prove that a new theory is true rather than the old one. That a variable is significantly different from the mean.

For the case above, let μ represent the average test scores for the teaching methods:

The null hypothesis is that all the different teaching methods have the same average test scores.

H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 = μ4 = μ5

The alternative hypothesis is that at least one of the teaching methods have a different mean.

Ha: at least one mean is different. (μ1 ≠ μi)

Giuliana has 22 quarters and dollar coins worth a total of $10.75. Which equation can be used to find d, the number of dollar co
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Option (3). 0.25(22 - d) + d = 10.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of coins Giuliana has = 22

Let the number dollar coins Giuliana has = d

Number of quarters with Giuliana = (22 - d)

Value of dollar coins and quarters = $10.75

So the equation will be,

Number of dollars coins × $1 + Number of quarters × $0.25 = $10.75

d + 0.25 × (22 - d)  = 10.75

Therefore, to determine the number of dollars with Giuliana equation will be used,

d + 0.25(22 - d) = 10.75

Option (3) will be the answer.
