At Pizza Perfect, Ron and Harold make pizza crusts. When they work separately Ron finishes the job of making 100 crusts 1.2 hour

s before Harold finishes the same job. When they work together they finish making 100 crusts in 1.8 hours. How many hours, to the nearest tenth of an hour, does it take Ron working alone to make 100 crusts?

Answer:  Ron take approximately 4.2 hours to make 100 crusts alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of hours taken by Ron before Harold = 1.2 hours

Number of hours taken by Ron and Harold together = 1.8 hours

We need to find the number of hours taken by Ron alone i.e. 'x'.

Let number of hours taken by Harold alone be '1.2-x'.

Let work done by Ron alone  = \dfrac{1}{x}

Work done by Harold = \dfrac{1}{x-1.2}

According to question, we get that

\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{x-1.2}=\dfrac{1}{1.8}\\\\\dfrac{x-1.2+x}{x(x-1.2)}=\dfrac{1}{1.8}\\\\\dfrac{2x-1.2}{x^2-1.2x}=\dfrac{1}{1.8}\\\\3.6x-2.16=x^2-1.2x\\\\x^2-1.2x-3.6x+2.16=0\\\\x^2-4.8x+2.16=0\\\\x=0.5,4.2

x-1.2 does not satisfied with x = 0.5 so, x = 4.2

Hence, Ron take approximately 4.2 hours to make 100 crusts alone.

QUESTION THREE (30 MARKS) 3.1 The mass of a standard loaf of white bread is, by law meant to be 700g with a population standard
kiruha [24]

Using the normal distribution and the central limit theorem, it is found that  there is a 0.0284 = 2.84% probability of finding a sample mean mass of 695g or below.

----------------------------------

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

----------------------------------

  • Mean of 700g means that \mu = 700
  • Standard deviation of 21g means that \sigma = 21
  • Sample of 64, thus n = 64
  • <u>For the sampling distribution of the sample mean</u>, the standard deviation is of s = \frac{21}{\sqrt{64}} = \frac{21}{8} = 2.625

The probability of finding a sample mean mass of 695g or below is the p-value of Z when X = 695, thus:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{695 - 700}{2.625}

Z = -1.905

Z = -1.905 has a p-value of 0.0284.

0.0284 = 2.84% probability of finding a sample mean mass of 695g or below.

A recipe calls for 5 ounces of vinegar and 10 ounces of oil. Daren is making dressing with 9 ounces of vinegar using the same ra
g100num [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Set this up as ratio of vinegar to oil in fraction form:

\frac{v}{o}:\frac{5}{10}

That's what we're given.  If we are looking to find how much oil he needs if he's using 9 ounces of vinegar, then 9 goes on top with the vinegar stuff and x goes on bottom as the unknown amount of oil:

\frac{v}{o}:\frac{5}{10}=\frac{9}{x}

Cross multiply to get

5x = 90 and

x = 18

Which you probably could do without the proportions.  If he is using 5 ounces of vinegar and double that amount of oil, then it just makes sense that if he uses 9 ounces of vinegar he will double that amount in oil to use 18 ounces.

1.3 puzzle time why did the fraction jump into boiling water
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The fraction jumped into boiling water because it wanted to be reduced.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a maths riddle about fractions. We often see fractions that we might feel could be reduced. So, if these kinds of fractions jumps into a boiling water, they get reduced. The riddle is rather funny though.
