Answer:

Paul = 30 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

If Adam (A), Paul(P) and Jake(J) together they weigh 180 pounds (A+P+J=180); and Adam and Jake is 2:3 (2A=3J) then how much does paul weigh?

A+P+J=180, 2A=3J, J=60 we have; A=(3/2)J=(3/2)*60 → A=90, 90+P+60=180 →

P=180-90-60 → P=30

Answer: \mu_x=18\text{ hours}

\sigma_x=4\text{ hours}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that mean and standard deviation of sampling distribution is given by :-

\mu_x=\mu

\sigma_x=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

, where \mu = population mean

\sigma =Population standard deviation.

n= sample size .

In the given situation, we have

\mu=18\text{ hours}

\sigma=6\text{ hours}

n= 2

Then, the expected mean and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution will be :_

\mu_x=\mu=18\text{ hours}

\sigma_x=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{6}{\sqrt{2}}=4.24264068712\approx4  [Rounded to the nearest whole number]

Hence, the the expected mean and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution :

\mu_x=18\text{ hours}

\sigma_x=4\text{ hours}

Jack bought seven tickets for a movie he paid seven dollars for each adult ticket and four dollars for each child ticket jack sp
Alja [10]

7x = 40

7x + 4y = 40

The first equation represents that in total, the 7 tickets whether they are for adults or children costs $40.

The second equation represents that x = adult and y = children tickets both add up to equal $40.

A rain gutter is to be constructed of aluminum sheets 12 inches wide. After marking off a length of 4 inches from each edge, thi
marysya [2.9K]
For this problem, I think there is no need for the details of 12 inches width and 4 inches length. This is because an equation is already given. It was clearly specified that A as a function of θ represents the area of the opening. Then, we are asked to find exactly that: the area of opening. Moreover, the value of θ was also given. Therefore, I am quite sure that the initial details given are for the purpose of red herring only.

So, all we have to do is substitute θ=45° to the function given. 
A = 16 sin 45° ⋅ (cos 45° + 1)

The angle 45° is a special angle in trigonometry. So, it would be easy to remember trigonometric functions of this angle. Sine of 45° is equal to √2/2 while cosine of 45° is also √2/2.

A = 16(√2/2) ⋅ (√2/2 + 1)
A = 8+8√2
A = 19.31 square inches

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{5.00 lb}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\begin{array}{rcl}1.20x + 3.60 & \leq & 9.60\\1.20x & \leq & 6.00\\x &\leq & \mathbf{5.00}\\\end{array}\\\text{Rammy can buy $\large \boxed{\textbf{5.00 lb}}$ of peaches.}

Check:

\begin{array}{rcl}1.20(5.00) + 3.60 & \leq & 9.60\\6.00 + 3.60 & \leq & 9.60\\9.60 & \leq & 9.60\\\end{array}

OK.
