Answer:

a) she be able to make 8 bags

b) she can make 16 bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the exercise info Denise has 6.4 pounds of beans

<u>Solving question a </u>

 ⇒  if she makes each bean bag of 0.8 pounds and she has 6.4 pounds of beans, we can express this by using the three simply rule she needs to puts 6.4 pounds of beans in x quantity of bags of 0.8 pouns, so doing the division: 6. 4 pounds of beans / 0.8 pounds of beans per bag= 8 bags of 0.8 pounds of beans.

B- If she decides to make mini bean bags that are half as heave as the ohers bags, so now Denise is going to make bags of 0.8/2 = 0.4 pounds.

Doing the same procedure as question a, we can say that she has 6.4 pounds of beans and she needed to put these amount in a x quantity of 04 pounds bags. Doing the following division ⇒ 6.4 pounds of beans/ 0.4 pounds of beans per bag= 16 bags

 In conclusion she is going to make 16 bags of 0.4 pounds of beans.

In 154 N38 what digit should be replaced to N to make the number divisible by 3,6 and 9?​
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

N = 6 so that number becomes divisible by 3, 6 and 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Number Theory there is a rule of thumb which states that sum of digits of a multiple of 3 equal 3 or a multiple of three. If we know that n = 154N38, then its sum of digits is:

x = 1 + 5+4+N+3+8

x = 21+N (Eq. 1)

We have to determine which digits corresponds to multiples of three, there are four digits:

N = 0

x = 21+0

x = 21 (3\times 7 = 21)

N = 3

x = 21+3

x = 24 (3\times 8 = 24)

N = 6

x = 21+6

x = 27 (3\times 9 = 27)

N = 9

x = 21+9

x = 30 (3\times 10 = 30)

We get the following four distinct options: 154038, 154338, 154638, 154938. Now we find which number is divisible by 6 and 9 by factor decomposition:

154038 = 2\times 3\times 25673

154338 =2\times 3\times 29 \times 887

154638 = 2\times 3\times 3\times 11\times 11\times 71

154938 = 2\times 3\times 7\times 7\times 17\times 31

It is quite evident that N = 6 so that number becomes divisible by 3, 6 and 9.

let x = the amoun of raw sugar in tons a procesing plant is a sugar refinery process in one day . suppose x can be model as expo
anygoal [31]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A sugar refinery has three processing plants, all receiving raw sugar in bulk. The amount of raw sugar (in tons) that one plant can process in one day can be modelled using an exponential distribution with mean of 4 tons for each of three plants. If each plant operates independently,a.Find the probability that any given plant processes more than 5 tons of raw sugar on a given day.b.Find the probability that exactly two of the three plants process more than 5 tons of raw sugar on a given day.c.How much raw sugar should be stocked for the plant each day so that the chance of running out of the raw sugar is only 0.05?

Answer: The mean (μ) of the plants is 4 tons. The probability density function of an exponential distribution is given by:

f(x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}\\But\ \lambda= 1/\mu=1/4 = 0.25\\Therefore:\\f(x)=0.25e^{-0.25x}\\

a) P(x > 5) = \int\limits^\infty_5 {f(x)} \, dx =\int\limits^\infty_5 {0.25e^{-0.25x}} \, dx =-e^{-0.25x}|^\infty_5=e^{-1.25}=0.2865

b) Probability that exactly two of the three plants process more than 5 tons of raw sugar on a given day can be solved when considered as a binomial.

That is P(2 of the three plant use more than five tons) = C(3,2) × [P(x > 5)]² × (1-P(x > 5)) = 3(0.2865²)(1-0.2865) = 0.1757

c) Let b be the amount of raw sugar should be stocked for the plant each day.

P(x > a) = \int\limits^\infty_a {f(x)} \, dx =\int\limits^\infty_a {0.25e^{-0.25x}} \, dx =-e^{-0.25x}|^\infty_a=e^{-0.25a}

But P(x > a) = 0.05

Therefore:

e^{-0.25a}=0.05\\ln[e^{-0.25a}]=ln(0.05)\\-0.25a=-2.9957\\a=11.98

a  ≅ 12

The graph represents the cost of a subscription to a newspaper. A coordinate plane showing Ferry Ride Cost with Number of Person
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

The constant of variation is $1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Point 1 (1,2)

Point 2 (5,8)

Required

Constant of Variation

Though the graph would have assisted in answering the question; its unavailability doesn't mean the question cannot be solved.

Having said that,

the constant variation can be solved by calculating the gradient of the graph;

The gradient is often represented by m and is calculated as thus

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Where

(x_1, y_1) = (1,2)\\(x_2, y_2) = (5,8)

By substituting values for x1,x2,y1 and y2; the gradient becomes

m = \frac{8 - 2}{5 - 1}

m = \frac{6}{4}

m = \frac{3}{2}

m = 1.50

Hence, the constant of variation is $1.50
