Answer:

80g

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's why:

SO you have 2:3 ratio which means the ratio for grams of butter/grams of flour has to be 2:3.

So we set up the following equation:

2/3 = 640/x (solve for x)

x= 960g

960g is what you should have to get to ratio, but the question is asking how much more you need from the initial given flour.

So you need  (suppose x is the grams of flour you need)

x+880g = 960g (solve for x)

x=80g

3,6 are the only multiples so it would be 2/6 but simplify that to 1/3
2,4,6 are evens so it would be 3/6 which is also 1/2

On a coordinate plane, 2 quadrilaterals are shown. Quadrilateral Q R S T has points (negative 1, 0), (5, 0), (3.5, negative 6) a
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

\dfrac{1}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:

In quadrilateral QRST, Q(-1,0), R(5,0), S(3.5,-6), T(-2.5,-6).

In quadrilateral Q'R'S'T', Q'(-1,2), R'(1,2), S'(0.5,0), T'(-1.5,0).

Distance formula:

D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Using distance formula , we get

QR=\sqrt{(5-(-1))^2+(0-0)^2}=\sqrt{6^2}=6

Q'R'=\sqrt{(1-(-1))^2+(2-2)^2}=\sqrt{2^2}=2

Now,  

\text{Scale factor}=\dfrac{Q'R'}{QR}

\text{Scale factor}=\dfrac{2}{6}

\text{Scale factor}=\dfrac{1}{3}

Therefore the scale factor is \dfrac{1}{3}.

Suppose x follows a continuous uniform distribution from 1 to 5. determine the conditional probability p(x >2.5 | x ≤ 4).
Rainbow [258]
Because the random variable x follows a continuous uniform distribution from x=1 to x=5, therefore
p(x) = 1/4,  x=[1, 5]
The value of p(x) ensures that the total area under the curve = 1.

The conditional probability p(x > 2.5 | x ≤ 4) is the shaded portion of the curve. Its value is
p(x > 2.5 | x ≤4) = (1/4)*(4 - 2.5) = 0.375

Answer: 0.375

5. A metal ornament is being designed such that its perimeter is created by four identical three-quarter circles
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

(a) 12π in

(b) 53.5 in

(c) 96 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached, the ornament is shown

(a) four three-quarter circles is equivalent to 4*3/4 = 3 circles. The perimeter of a circle is the total length of the circular portions.

Perimeter of each circle: 2*π*r

The radius is 2 in long, then for 3 circles:

Perimeter = 3*2*π*2 = 12π in

(b) Perimeter of square: 4*side length

The side length of the square is 4 in, then:

Total length of wire needed = 4*4 + 12π = 53.5 in

(c) The wire weighs 1.8 grams per inch, then:

total weight of the ornament = 1.8 grams/in * 53.5 in = 96 grams

WARRIOR [948]
What is the probability that a student with a GPA below 3.0 does not enjoy school?
Only 15/60 below 3.0 enjoy school.
Rounded, that equals 25%.

Therefore, there is a 75% probability that a student with a GPA below 3.0 does not enjoy school.
