Explain how you could use the strategy solve a simpler problem to solve the equation 3/4x=3/10

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let me rewrite it so it looks better:

[tex]\frac{3}{4} x=\frac{3}{10}[/tex]

The first way is to cross multiply.

30x = 12

x=0.4

The other way is to see that the two numerators are the same except for the x on the left side.

You can see the the denominators are 4 and 10.

You can create a proportion of 4 : 10 and apply it to the fractions.

You get that you have to multiply the left side by 0.4, so x = 0.4

Esther, Vida, and Clair were asked to consider two different cash flows: GH¢1000 that they could receive today and GH¢3000 that would be received 3 years from today. Esther wanted the GH¢1000 today, Vida chose to collect GH¢3000 in 3 years, and Clair was indifferent between these two options. Which of the three women made the right choice? Explain

Answers

Answer:

Esther made the right option which gives her maximum value at the end of 3 years than Vida and Clair.

Step-by-step explanation:

The life is all about making the right choices. Esther has made a decision to collect GH¢1000 now. To calculate future value of Esther choice at the end of 3 year we will use formula below,

FV = PV [tex](1 + r)^{t}[/tex]

discount factor at year 3 t 10% is 0.751

FV = 1000 (0.751) / (1.1)3

FV = GH¢2487.

Vidha choose to collect GH¢3000 at end of 3 year, the present value of GH¢3000 at 10% discount rate will be;

PV = FV [tex](1 + r)^{-t}[/tex]

PV = 3000 (0.751)

PV = GH¢2253.

Clair is indifferent from the choices given but this is also not a smart choice.

Esther has made the right choice among the three women and she gets maximum value of GH¢2487.

The cone-shaped container for the echidna treats holds to 218 cubic centimeters of ants and has a radius of 4 cm. rounded to the nearest whole number, what is the height of the container? use 3.14 for pie symbol

Answers

Answer:

13 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer, you can use the formula to calculate the volume of a cone and isolate the height:

V= πr^2[tex]\frac{h}{3}[/tex]

V= volume= 218 cubic centimeters

π= 3.14

r= radius= 4 cm

h=height

218= 3.14*4^2*[tex]\frac{h}{3}[/tex]

218*3=3.14*16*h

654=50.24*h

h=654/50.24

h=13

According to this, the height of the container is 13 cm.

Drew writes down a number between 1 and 1000. Mary must determine that number by asking "yes/no" questions of Drew. Mary knows that Drew always tells the truth. If Mary uses an optimal strategy, then she will determine the answer at the end of exactly how many questions in the worst case?

Answers

Answer: 10 questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The optimal aproach would be divide the total range in half, for example, she can ask:

Is the number equal or greater than 500?

if he answers no, now she knows that the numer is in the range 1 to 499

if he says yes, she can know that the number is in the range 500 to 1000.

Now, suppose that the answer is yes.

Now she can ask if the number is equal or greater than 750.

Now we have two possible sets. (500, 749) and (750 , 1000).

Now we can divide those sets again, depending on the answer.

suppose we got the set of (750, 1000)

we can divide it into two sets and so on.

So, we have 999 options and we want to divide it by 2 until we reach to 1., the number of divisions by 2 is the number of times that she asked a question.

999/2^n ≤ 1.

we must find the smaller n that keeps the above inequality true.

999 ≤ 2^n

knowing that 2^10 = 1024.

999/1024 = 1024

So in the worst case, she should ask 10 questions.

Isaac is working as a security guard. He earns $8.45 an hour. He earns double time for any overtime over 40 hours. Last week he worked 44 hours. How much did he earn last week? ( HInt: double time means 2 times the regular hourly rate. )

Answers

Answer:

$405.60

Step-by-step explanation:

If Isaac works for 40 hours will earn $8.45×40=$388. Since he worked 4 extra hours, he will earn $8.45×2×4 since he worked 4 extra hours. $8.45×2=$16.90, which is the amount he earns for every extra hour he works. $16.90×4=$67.60. Now if we add $67.60+$388=$405.60.

QUESTION 1

A fruit basket has both mangoes and oranges and can accommodate only 80 mangoes and oranges when

full. If there are x mangoes in a full basket,


(i) Write an expression for the number of oranges in it.


(ii) If an orange costs 50 cents and a mango costs 40 cents, write an expression for the amount of

money collected (in dollars) for the sale of all the mangoes and oranges in the full basket, S ( x ) .


(iii) Find the total amount collected from selling all the fruits in the full basket if there are 35 mangoes

in it.

Answers

Answer:

(i) [tex]80-x[/tex]

(ii) [tex]S(x) = 40 - 0.10x[/tex]

(iii) $36.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

1. Total Number of fruits = 80

2. Number of mangoes = x

3. Both mangoes and oranges are there in the basket.

Solution (i):

Only mangoes and oranges are there in the basket and the basket is full.

so, Number of mangoes + Number of oranges = Total number of fruits

x + Number of oranges = 80

Number of oranges = [tex]80 -x[/tex]

Solution (ii):

Given:

Cost of an orange = 50 cents = $0.50

Cost of a mango = 40 cents = $0.40

Cost for x mangoes = [tex]\$ 0.40x[/tex]

Cost for ([tex]80-x[/tex]) oranges = [tex]\$ 0.50 \times (80-x)[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow S(x) = 0.50 (80-x) + 0.40x\\\Rightarrow S(x) = 40 -0.50x + 0.40x\\\Rightarrow S(x) = 40 - 0.10x[/tex]

Solution (iii):

Put value of x = 35 in S(x)

[tex]S(35) = 40 - 0.10 (35)\\\Rightarrow S(35) = 40 - 0.35\\\Rightarrow S(35) =\$ 36.5[/tex]

Hence, answers are:

(i) [tex]80-x[/tex]

(ii) [tex]S(x) = 40 - 0.10x[/tex]

(iii) $36.5

Which equation has the same solution as x^2+8x-33 =0 ?
1) (x+4)2 =49
3) (x+4)2 =17
2) (x-4)2 =49
4) (x-4)2=17
Please show work

Answers

Answer:

1) (x+4)2 =49

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+8x-33 = 0   Factor this equation

(x + 11)(x - 3) = 0     Set each equation equal to 0

x = -11 and 3

Test the first equation to see if it has the same solution

(x+4)2 = 49      Simplify the parentheses

(x+4)(x+4) = 49     FOIL the equation

x^2 + 8x + 16 = 49     Subtract 49 from both sides

x^2 + 8x - 33 = 0       This is the correct solution.

If 8-2x<12 is -2 a solution to the inequality

Answers

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's plug in -2 for x.

8 - 2 (-2) <12

8 + 4 < 12

12 < 12

Since this is a false statement, -2 is not a solution to the inequality.

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation: To determine whether x = -2 is a solution to the inequality, substitute a -2 in for r.

So we have 8 - 2(-2) < 12.

Notice that I used parentheses.

This is a great habit to get into when

substituting numbers in for variables.

So we have 8 - (-4) which can be changed to 8 + (+4) or +12.

Since 12 is not less than 12, -2 is not a solution.

(refer to video part 4) Group of answer choices A. Matrix PQ would have the dimensions 3 X 4 B. Matrix PQ would have the dimensions 4 X 5 C. Matrix PQ would have the dimensions 3 X 5 D. These matrices can not be multiplied because their dimension don't align.

Answers

Answer:  c) 3 x 5

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying matrices of dimension m x n, the "inside" values MUST be the same. The dimension of their product is the "outside" values.

P = 3 x 4

Q =      4 x 5

The "inside" values are both 4 so the product can be found.

The "outside" values are 3 & 5 so the dimension of the product is 3 x 5.

If the problem was flipped to: find QP, we would get the following:

Q = 4 x 5

P =        3 x 4

the "inside" values of 3 & 5 are not the same so the product does not exist.

The polynomial P(x) = 3 – 2x2 + 5x5 – 7x7 has what order?

Answers

Answer:

This, polynomial has order 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the polynomial

P(x) = 3 – 2x2 + 5x5 – 7x7

[tex]P(x) = 3 - 2x^2+ 5x^5 - 7x^7[/tex]

Order for any polynomial is highest exponential value for variables . The exponent for polynomial is also called as degree.

Hence in terms of degree, the term in polynomial which has  the highest degree . That degree is the order of the polynomial.

For example ,

in [tex]x^5 + x^8 + x^9[/tex]

here we see that variable x has highest power of 9. Thus, order of the given equation is 9.

Similarly for the polynomial given we see that

in the polynomial [tex]P(x) = 3 - 2x^2+ 5x^5 - 7x^7[/tex]

x has three power 2, 5 and 7 .

As 7 is the highest power of P(x) = 3 - 2x^2+ 5x^5 - 7x^7

This, polynomial has order 7.

Edith wants to make a paperweight at pottery class. She wants the paperweight to have a pyramid-like shape with a base area of 120120120 square centimeters, and she wants it to weigh 400400400 grams. The density of the clay she is using is 1.61.61, point, 6 grams per cubic centimeter.
What should be the height of the paperweight?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would determine the volume of the

pyramid-like paperweight. Formula for volume is expressed as

Volume = mass/density

From the information given,

mass = 400g

Density = 1.61g/cm³

Volume = 400/1.61 = 248.45cm³

The formula for determining the volume of a pyramid us expressed as

Volume = 1/3 × base area × height

From the information given,

Base area = 120 cm²

Volume = 248.45cm³

Therefore,

248.45 = 1/3 × 120 × height

248.45 = 40 × height

height = 248.45/40 = 6.2 cm
