So if 1/3 0f the oranges equals 4, than you times it by three to get 3/3, so there were 12 oranges and 28 grapefruits, so the answer is 40

Elenna [48]

I will rewrite the question for better understanding:

Ashley recently opened a store that uses only natural ingredients. She wants to advertise her products by distributing bags of samples in her neighborhood. It takes Ashley 2/3 of a minute to prepare one bag. It takes each of her friends 75% longer to prepare a bag. How many hours will it take Ashley and 4 of her friends to prepare 1575 bags of samples?

Answer:

  • <em><u>5.3 hours</u></em>

Explanation:

<u>1) Time it takes Ashley to preprate one bag: </u>

  • 2/3 min

<u>2) Time it takes each friend of Ashley: 75% more than 2/3 min</u>

  • 75% × 2/3 min = 0.75 × 2/3 min = 3/4 × 2/3 min= 2/4 min = 1/2 min = 0.5 min
  • 2/3 min + 1/2 min = 7/6 min

<u>3) Time it takes Ashley and the 4 friends working along to prepare one bag:</u>

  • Convert each time into a rate, since you can set that the total rate of Ashley along with her four friends is equal to the sum of each rate:

  • Rate of Ashley: 1 bag / (2/3) min = 3/2 bag/min

  • Rate of each friend: 1 bag / (7/6) min = 6/7 bag/min

  • Rate of Ashley and 4 friends = 3/2 bag/min + 4 × 6/7 bag/min = (3/2 +24/7) bag/min = 69/14 bag/min

<u>4) Time of prepare 1575 bags of samples:</u>

  • time = number of bags / number of bags per min = 1,575 bags / (69/14) bags/min = 319.56 min

<u>5) Convert minutes to hours:</u>

  • 356.56 min × 1 hour / 60 min = 5.3 hours

The quotient of 24 and x equals 14 minus 2 times x (into an equation don’t solve)
Katen [24]

Answer:

24 / x = 14 - 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Quotient means division (÷ or /)

Quotient of 24 and x = 24 ÷ x

24 ÷ x is equivalent to 24 / x

14 minus 2 times x = 14 - 2x

So, the equation is

24 / x = 14 - 2x

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.

A hospital bill is estimated to be $462.00. It ends up actually costing the patient $525.00. What is the percent error in the bi
Mamont248 [21]
In order to find the percent error, we need to first find the difference between what was expected and what is actually costed. We do this by subtracting:

525-462=63

So now we know that the expected amount was off by $63. To find the percent error, we need to take this $63, and divide it by the amount that was estimated. Let's do that now:

\frac{63}{462}=0.1364

However this is in decimal form. We need to multiply by 100 in order to get it in a percent:

0.1364*100=13.64%

Now we know that the percent error of the hospital bill estimate is 13.64%.
