One type of candy mix contains 30% Smarties by mass. A second type contains 20% Smarties by
mass. What mass of the 30% mix is required to make a 500 gram mixture that will have 24%
Smarties by mass?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

200 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent

The number of grams of

30% smarties = x

20% smarties = y

Hence:

x + y = 500

x = 500 - y

Hence:

30% × x + 20% × y = 24% × 500

0.3x + 0.2y = 120

Substitute 500 - y for x

Hence:

0.3(500 - y) + 0.2y = 120

150 - 0.3y + 0.2y = 120

Collect like terms

- 0.3y + 0.2y = 120 - 150

- 0.1y = -30

y = -30/0.1

y = 300

Solving for x

x = 500 - y

x = 500 - 300

x = 200

Hence,

The number of grams of

30% smarties = x = 200 grams

20% smarties = y = 300 grams

Therefore:

the mass of the 30% mix is required to make a 500 gram mixture that will have 24% Smarties by mass is 200 grams

Elijah puts $550 in an account earning 8% simple interest annually. What is the total amount of money he will have in his account after 6 years, if no withdrawals or deposits are made?​

Answers

Answer:

814?

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest is I = PRT, so you can multiply the 550, by 1.08 by 6 to get the total.

The principal is 550, the rate is 0.08 (using 1.08 because the prior gives interest, and using a whole 1 with it will be the total), and the time is 6 years because the interest is simple annual.

use 0.08 instead of 1.08 when solving for interest.

Tom has some marbles in two bags. In one bag he has 3 yellow, 2 green and 1 red marble. In the other bag he has 3 yellow, 3 green and 3 red marbles. If Tom takes one marble out of each bag, how probable is it that neither one is yellow?

Answers

Answer:

1 /3

Step-by-step explanation:

Bag 1 :

Yellow = 3 ; green = 2 ; red = 1

Total = 6

P(not yellow) = (2 +1) / 6 = 3/6 = 1/2

Bag 2 :

Yellow = 3 ; green = 3 ; red = 3

Total = 9

P(not yellow) = (2 +3) / 9 = 6/9 = 2/3

P(neither yellow from the two bags) = 1/2 * 2/3 = 2 /6 = 1/3

Tammy knits blanket and scarves. On the first day of a craft fair, she sells 2 blankets and 5 scarves for $104

Answers

Answer:

Cost of Blanket = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a blanket be = b , cost of a scarf be = s. Blanket price x Blanket Quantity & Scarf Price x Scarf Quantity sum up to be total sales.

So, Day 1 : 2b + 5s = 104 (i)  , Day 2 : 3b + 4s = 128 (ii)

Solving equations : Multiplying (i) by 3 , & (ii) by 2 , we get

6b  +  15s    =   312 ,

(-)6b + (-)8s =  (-)256

By elimination method, 15s - 8s = 312 - 256 → 7s = 56 → s = 56 / 7 = 8 .

Putting s value in any equation i], 2b + 5 (8) = 104 → 2b + 40 = 104 → 2b = 104 - 40 = 64 → b = 64 / 2 = 32

The rate of change (or the slope) is calculated from two points with the formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

we are given two points: (1,-1), and (2,4)

let's label the points, to avoid confusion:

x1=1

y1=-1

x2=2

y2=4

now substitute into the formula:

*note: remember that we are subtracting the negative numbers. When it's simplified, we add the numbers.

rate of change=(4--1)/(2-1)

rate of change=(4+1)/(2-1)

rate of change=5/1

Tickets for the basketball game were sold at 4$ for adults and 2.50$ for students. If 320 tickets were sold for a total of 1100$, how many students tickets were sold? How many adult tickets were sold?

Answers

Answer: Number of students tickets were sold = 120

Number of adults tickets were sold = 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Number of adults, y = Number of students

As per given,

x+y=320    ...(i)

4x+2.5y=1100 ...(ii)

Multiply 2.5 on both the sides of (i), we get

2.5x+2.5y=800   ...(iii)

Subtract (iii) from (ii), we get

1.5x=300

[tex]x=\frac{300}{1.5}\\x=200[/tex]

From (i) y= 320-200 = 120

Hence, Number of students tickets were sold = 120

Number of adults tickets were sold = 200

The interior angle measure of a regular polygon is calculated with the following formula, where n represents the number of sides or interior angles of the regular polygon.




Determine the measure of the interior angles of a regular octagon and identify whether or not a regular octagon can be used as the only shape in a regular tessellation.


144°, no

135°, yes

144°, yes

135°, no



THE RIGHT ANSWER IS A 144°, no

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior angle measure of a regular polygon is calculated with 180*(n-2)/n, where n represents the number of sides.

A regular octagon has 10 sides so it interior angle = 180*(10-2)/10

= 144

A tessellation is a tile pattern with the same polygon repeating. The polygon's interior angles must combine to form 360 degree. A regular octagon has interior angle of 144 degree which does not add to 360 degree. So a regular octagon cannot be used as the only shape in a regular tessellation.

The answer is 144°, no.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

oct means 10

(n-2)/n * 180

= (10-2)/10 * 180

= 144°

144 + 144 = 288 < 360

144 + 144 + 144 = 432 > 360

so a regular octagon can NOT be used as the only shape in a regular tessellation.

Answers

Answer:

Jerry's data points have to sum to be 77.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Ben and Jerry both have total numbers in their data set=7

Average of Ben's data set=9

Average of Jerry's data set=9+2=11

We have to find the Sum of Jerry's data points.

We know that

Average of data=Sum of numbers/Total number of data points

Using the formula

Average of Jerry' data =Sum of numbers in data/7

11=Sum of numbers in data/7

Sum of numbers=[tex]11\times 7[/tex]

Sum of numbers=77

Hence, sum of Jerry' data points=77

Camping Without a Phone.I couldnt believe it when my parents told me we were spending our winter vacation going camping! They are always trying to get me to go outside more. It seems like my mom is constantly saying, Brian, turn off the computer! or Brian, put down your phone and talk to us! They dont seem to understand that Im in the zone when Im using a keyboard, so of course I dont want to stop.We drove for an hour to Everglades National Park. As soon as we got there, my cell phone stopped working. The precaution I had taken of fully charging it had done no good. I couldnt get a signal for it. Suddenly, I was facing three days of no contact with the outside world. My little brother, Ben, thought it was amusing, and my mom tried to convince me Id like it. Youll be able to look around more when youre not staring at a screen, she said.You might have to act like a human being, said Ben as he started laughing. Then he escaped to the other side of the campground. We took a hike with a ranger in the afternoon. At first, I couldnt care less, but after a while I started paying attention. By the end of the hike, I realized there was more action going on in the park than in most video games. It just didnt happen as obviously. First, the ranger explained that fires can be beneficial for the Everglades. Lightning starts the fires. The pines and some other trees resist fire, and their branches are too high for the fires to reach. Other trees and plants that try to take over from the pines are lower and get burned away. I could almost envision the fires burning around us while we walked, as if they were on a video screen. Then we stopped to look at a pile of fur and little bones, apparently left behind by a bobcat. They were probably the remains of a rabbit. The ranger said that bobcats hunt nearly every night and sometimes eat animals as large as a deer. Unfortunately we didnt get to see the action, but we saw some of the results. Then we saw a wood stork wading and moving its beak back and forth. It was over three feet tall. Because the water is muddy and full of plants, it cant see the small fish its trying to catch. But its beak is very sensitive. When it touches a fish, its beak snaps closed in 25 milliseconds! Thats faster than some computer networks respond when I touch a key. That night I was exhausted from walking all day, and because I didnt use enough sunscreen I looked a little like what the ranger called the tourist tree. The gumbo limbo tree has reddish bark that peels off, like it got sunburned. Even so, I woke up in the middle of the night, and I was terrified at first because of some mysterious sounds. But then I recognized the barred owl the ranger had described to us earlier that day. It sounds like its calling out Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you? That helped me to relax, so I was able to fall back to sleep. We spent a lot of time exploring over the next two days. I started to understand the connection between the land and water and animals. In the Everglades, you couldnt even get rid of the mosquitoes without creating a big change for other animals. Small fish eat mosquito eggs; other fish eat the smaller fish; large fish called gars eat those fish; and alligators eat the gars. If you eliminated the mosquitoes, you might lose some of the other animals higher up the food chain too. After we left, we talked in the car about the Everglades and how different it was from where we lived. Suddenly, right in the middle of our discussion, I heard a familiar tone from my phone. My friend Jeff was sending me a text. Without thinking, I reached for my phone, but then I put it back down. Arent you going to text back? asked Ben. I will in a little while, I said. Ben looked stunned. My dad and mom looked at each other and just smiled.How does Brian's inability to use his cell phone while camping affect his actions? A) It helps him prove to his family that he can survive in the Everglades. B) It allows him to better understand technology. C) It forces him to participate in new activities. D) it gives him the chance to improve his relationship with his brother. 1) Is it a function?Please help
