Answer:

y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the quantities vary directly then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use either of the 2 given points

Using (12, 9), that is x = 12 when y = 9, then

k = $\frac{y}{x}$ = $\frac{9}{12}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$

y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x ← equation of variation

Fredrick and Kate have 1713 cups of flour. They want to make loaves of banana bread for a bake sale. Fredrick has a recipe for b

Mariana [72]

Answer:

Fredrick's recipe will make 10 whole loaves.

There will be less flour left over if Frederick's recipe is used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fredrick and Kate have 17 1/3 cups of flour. They want to make loaves of banana bread for a bake sale. Fredrick has a recipe for banana bread that calls for 1 5/8 cups of flour. Kate has a recipe that calls for 1 3/4 cups of flour. Select all the statements that are true about the recipes.

1. Fredrick's recipe will make 10 whole loaves.

2. Kate's recipe will make 11 whole loaves.

3. There will be less flour left over if Frederick's recipe is used.

4. There will be less flour left over if Kate's recipe is used.

5. More loaves of bread can be made using Frederick's recipe than Kate's recipe.

Solution:

Total cups of flour = 17 1/3

Fredrick recipe = 1 5/8 cups of flour

Kate = 1 3/4 cups of flour

Number of banana bread made with Fredrick's recipe = Total flour / flour per Fredrick's recipe

= 17 1/3 ÷ 1 5/8

= 52/3 ÷ 13/8

=52/3 × 8/13

= 416 / 39

= 10.67 loaves of banana bread

Number of banana bread made with Kate's recipe = Total flour / flour per Kate's recipe

= 17 1/3 ÷ 1 3/4

= 52/3 ÷ 7/4

= 52/3 × 4/7

= 216 / 21

= 10.29 loaves of banana bread

The true statements are:

Fredrick's recipe will make 10 whole loaves.

There will be less flour left over if Frederick's recipe is used

A freight company has shipping orders for two products. The first product has a unit volume of 10 cu ft, and it weighs 50 lbs. T

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

116 units of the first product

380 units of the second product

Step-by-step explanation:

Product 1 has a unit volume of 10 cu ft

Product 2 has a unit volume of 3 cu ft

The truck has 2300 cu ft of space

Product 1 weighs 50 lbs

Product 2 weighs 40 lbs

The truck can carry 21000 lbs

Let X be the units of product 1

Let Y be the units of product 2

The given information can be expressed as:

10X+3Y=2300...(1)

50X+40Y=21000...(2)

Solving the system of equations:

10X+3Y=2300...(1)

10X=2300-3Y

X=(2300-3Y)/10

Substituting X in (2) we have:

50X+40Y=21000

50[(2300-3Y)/10]+40Y=21000

50[(2300/10)-(3Y/10)]+40Y=21000

50[230-(3Y/10)+40Y=21000

11500-(150Y/10)+40Y=21000

11500-15Y+40Y=21000

11500+25Y=21000

25Y=21000-11500

25Y=9500

Y=380

Substituting Y in (1) we have:

10X+3Y=2300...(1)

10X+3(380)=2300

10X+1140=2300

10X=2300-1140

10X=1160

X=116

So 116 units of the first product and 380 units of the second product can be transported in a single shipment with one truck.

Which option lists an expression that is not equivalent to 4 2/3?

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Option A and Option B are not equivalent to the given expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following expression:

$4^{\frac{2}{3}}$

Applying properties of exponents and base:

$(a^x)^y = a^{xy}\\a^{-x}= (\frac{1}{a})^x\\$

A. Using the exponential property $a^{-x}= (\frac{1}{a})^x\\$ , we can write:

$0.25^{\frac{3}{2}} = (\frac{1}{0.25})^{\frac{-3}{2}} = (4)^{\frac{-3}{2}}$

which is not equal to the given expression.

B. Using the exponential property $a^{-x}= (\frac{1}{a})^x\\$ , we can write:

$(0.25)^{\frac{-3}{2}} = (\frac{1}{0.25})^{\frac{3}{2}} = (4)^{\frac{3}{2}}$

which is not equal to the given expression.

C. First we convert the radical form into exponent form. Then by using the property $(a^x)^y = a^{xy}$ of exponent, we can write the following:

$^3\sqrt{16} = (16)^{\frac{1}{3}} = (4^2)^{\frac{1}{3}} = 4^{\frac{2}{3}}$

which is equal to the given expression.

D. First we convert the radical form into exponent form. Then by using the property $(a^x)^y = a^{xy}$ of exponent, we can write the following:

$(^3\sqrt{4})^2 = (4^{\frac{1}{3}})^2 = 4^{\frac{2}{3}}$

which is equal to the given expression.

Option D and Option C are equivalent to the given expression.

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Z-score 1.96

Margin of error d= 0.04323

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The study variable in this case is

X: Number of people that oppose the use of photo-cop for issuing traffic tickets in a sample of 500.

n= 500

The parameter of interest is the proportion of people that opposes it.

The estimated proportion is p'= 300/500= 0.6

To estimate the population proportion per Confidence interval you have to approximate the distribution of the sample proportion p' to normal:

p'≈N(p;p(1-p)1/n)

The mean of this distribution is p and the variance is p*(1-p)*1/n

To construct the Confidence interval, since the value of the population proportion is unknown, an estimated variance is used:

p'(1-p')*1/n ⇒ then the estimated standard error is √(p'(1-p')*1/n)

The formula for the confidence interval is:

p' ± $Z_{1-\alpha /2}$ * $\sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }$

Where " $Z_{1-\alpha /2}$ * $\sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }$ " represents the margin of error of the interval.

Now for a confidence level of 0.95 the value of Z is $Z_{0.975}= 1.965$

The estimated standard error is already calculated: $\sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} } = 0.022$

The margin of error (d) is then:

d= $Z_{1-\alpha /2}$ * $\sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }$ = 1.965 * 0.022

d= 0.04323

I hope it helps!
