A clown needed 275 balloons for a party he was going to, but the balloons only came in packs of 2.How many packs of balloons does he need to buy?

Answers

Answer 1
For this case what you need to know is that each package contains 2 balloons.
 Therefore, you can solve the problem by making the following rule of three:
 1 package ---> 2 balloons
 x ---------------> 275 balloons
 Clearing x we have:
 x = (275/2) * (1)
 x = 137.5
 Nearest whole number:
 x = 138
 Answer:
 I need to buy 138 packs of balloons
Answer 2

Final answer:

To provide 275 balloons when they are sold in packs of 2, the clown will need to purchase 138 packs, which will include one extra balloon as you cannot buy half a pack.

Explanation:

The clown needs 275 balloons for a party and they come in packs of 2. To find out how many packs of balloons the clown needs to buy, one must divide the total number of balloons by the number in each pack.

The calculation is as follows:

Number of packs = Total balloons ÷ Balloons per packNumber of packs = 275 ÷ 2Number of packs = 137.5

Since packs cannot be purchased in halves, the clown will need to buy 138 packs to have enough balloons, understanding that this means having one extra balloon.

A building that is 115 feet tall casts a shadow that is 190 feet long. determine the angle at which the rays of the sun hit the ground to the nearest degree.

Answers

The angle at which the rays of the sun hit the ground is equivalent to {β} = 31.22°.

What is the meaning of the angle of depression?

Its an angle that is formed with the horizontal line if the line of sight is downward from the horizontal line.

Given is that a building that is 115 feet tall casts a shadow that is 190 feet long

Assume that the angle of elevation or the angle at which the rays of the sun hit the ground is equivalent to {β}. Then, with respect to the question, we can write -

tan{β} = (height of building)/(length of shadow)

tan{β} = (115/190)

tan{β} = 0.606

{β} = tan⁻¹(0.606)

{β} = 31.22°

Therefore, the angle at which the rays of the sun hit the ground is equivalent to {β} = 31.22°.

The answer is 48

Step-by-step explanation:

For every different sandwich, she needs to choose one breat, one meat and one cheese.

For each choice of bread, there are 4 choices of meat and 4 choices of cheese. Also, for each meat, there are four choices of cheese. It means that for each bread there are 4(choices of meat)*4(choices of cheeses) = 16 possible combinations.

There are also 3 choices of breads. For each bread, there are 16 possible combinations. So, in all, there are 3*16 = 48 possible combinations.

The surface area of a box is 160. the length of the box is twice its width as well as 4 less than its height. how many units are in the height of the box? (the surface area of a box is the sum of the areas of all 6 of its rectangular faces.) aops

Answers

Width = n
Length = 2n
Height = 2n + 4
2 (n x 2n) = 4n^2
2 (n x (2n + 4)) = 4n^2 + 8n
2 (2n x (2n + 4)) = 8n^2 + 16n

4n^2 + 4n^2 + 8n + 8n^2 + 16n = 160
16n^2 + 24n = 160
(Divide everything by 8)
2n^2 + 3n = 20
2n^2 + 3n - 20 = 0
(2n - 5)(n + 4) = 0

n = 2.5 Or n = -4

However n can not be less than 0

So n = 2.5
Height =2n +4
=2(2.5) +4
=5+4
=9

Final Answer:

The height of the box is 9 units.

Explanation:

Let's denote the width of the box as w, the length as l, and the height as h. According to the problem, we have the following relationships:
l = 2w (the length is twice the width) and
l = h - 4 (the length is also 4 less than the height).

The surface area SA of a rectangular box is calculated by the formula:
SA = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh.

Given that the surface area is 160, we set up our equation:
160 = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh.

Now let's substitute the relations l = 2w and l = h - 4 into the surface area equation:
Since l = 2w, 160 = 2(2w)w + 2(2w)h + 2wh.

Simplifying the equation, we have:
160 = 4w² + 4wh + 2wh
160 = 4w² + 6wh

Now we use the fact that l = h - 4 to substitute for h:
h = l + 4
h = 2w + 4

Now substitute h back into the surface area equation:
160 = 4w² + 6w(2w + 4) ,

Expand the terms:
160 = 4w² + 12w^2 + 24w,

Combine like terms:
160 = 16w² + 24w

Now, we must solve for w. Let's move all terms to one side to solve the quadratic equation:
16w² + 24w - 160 = 0

Divide all terms by 8 to simplify:
2w² + 3w - 20 = 0

We can now attempt to factor the quadratic equation:
(2w - 5)(w + 4) = 0

This gives us two solutions:
2w - 5 = 0 or  w + 4 = 0

Solving the first equation for w:
2w = 5,[tex]\( w = \frac{5}{2} \)[/tex]

w = 5/2
We can disregard the second solution w + 4 = 0 for w, as it gives us a negative width, which isn't possible for a box.

Now that we have w, we can find h.
Using our earlier substitute for h:
h = 2w + 4 ,
[tex]h = 2 \cdot \frac{5}{2} + 4[/tex] ,
h = 5 + 4 ,
h = 9 .
Thus, the height of the box is 9 units.

The windows of a downtown office building are arranged so that each floor has six fewer windows than the floor below it. If the ground floor has 52 windows, how many total windows are on the first eight floors?

Answers

248 


windows on first floor = 52 

windows on 8th floor (52 - 6 * 7) = 10 

average windows = (52 + 10)/2 = 62/2 = 31 

8 floors * 31 average windows = 248.

Answer:

There are 248 windows on the first eight floors.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given:

The ground floor has 52 windows.

This question is based on arithmetic sequence:

a1 = 52

d = - 6 (each floor has six fewer windows than the floor below it)

[tex]a_n=a1+(n-1)d[/tex]

[tex]a_8 =a1+7d[/tex]

=> [tex]52+[7 \times (-6)][/tex]

=> [tex]52-42 =10[/tex]

We know:

[tex]S_n= n/2 \times (a1 +a _n)[/tex]

[tex]S_8 =8/2 \times(52+10)[/tex]

= 248

Therefore, there are 248 windows on the first eight floors.

A reflecting telescope is purchased by a library for a new astronomy program. The telescope has a horizontal parabolic frame and contains two mirrors, 3 inches apart from each other- the first in the base and the second at the focal point. The astronomy teacher would like to attach a digital monitoring system on the edge of the telescope, creating a straight line distance above the focal point. Assuming that the telescope is placed on the edge of the roof in such a way that it is parallel to the ground, the position of the monitoring system, in relationship to the distance between the base and the focal point is modeled by the equation, x =[tex] \frac{1}{12} [/tex] y2 (x = the distance between the base and the focal point; y= the height of the monitoring system).

Rewrite the model so that the height of the digital monitoring system is a function of the distance between the base and the focal point of the telescope. How high above the focal point is the digital monitoring system attached to the telescope? Include your function and the height, rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch, in your final answer.

Answers

Hello! To rewrite the model so that the height of the digital monitoring system is a function of the distance between the base and the focal point of the telescope, we simply need to alter the equation such that the other side would be left with y alone.

[tex]x= \frac{1}{12} y^{2} [/tex]
[tex]12x=y^{2}[/tex]
[tex] \sqrt{12x}=y [/tex]
[tex]f(x)=2 \sqrt{3x} [/tex]

We have replaced y with f(x) to show that it is a function.

For the second part we just use the fact that the two mirrors are 3 inches apart. From the definition of the variables we know that this is just the value of x. We plug this into the function to know how high above the focal point the digital monitoring system is attached.

[tex]f(3)=2 \sqrt{3(3)}=2\sqrt{9}=2(3)=6[/tex]

ANSWER: The function is given by [tex]f(x)=2 \sqrt{3x} [/tex] and the digital monitoring system is 6.0 inches above the focal point.

Final answer:

To find the height of the digital monitoring system, we rearrange the given parabolic equation to solve for y, substitute the known distance of 3 inches, and determine that the monitoring system is attached 6 inches above the focal point.

Explanation:

The equation given for the reflecting telescope by the library for their astronomy program is x = \frac{1}{12} y^2. To solve for the height of the digital monitoring system as a function of the distance x, we need to rewrite the equation in terms of y. First, we multiply both sides by 12 to get 12x = y^2. Then, take the square root of both sides to solve for y, which gives us y = \sqrt{12x}. Given that the distance between the base and the focal point is 3 inches, we substitute x with 3 to find the height of the monitoring system. Thus, we have y = \sqrt{12 \cdot 3} which simplifies to y = \sqrt{36} or y = 6 inches. This means the digital monitoring system is attached 6 inches above the focal point of the telescope.

In a "torture test" a light switch is turned on and off until it fails. if the probability that the switch will fail any time it is turned on or off is 0.001, what is the probability that the switch will fail after it has been turned on or off 1,200 times?

Answers

The probability that the switch does not fail is 1-0.001=0.999. In order to switch the lights off and on 1200 times, we need to press the switch 2400 times. Each event is assumed independent from the others; when we press the switch, its probability that it will fail is not influenced by the previous pressing of the switch. Thus, the probability that it won't fail after 2 times is 0.999*0.999=0.999^2. Similarly, we get that the required probability is : [tex]P=0.999^{2400}=0.091[/tex]
This is a relatively low probability. We see that even if the probability that the switch fails one time is very low, after many repetitions it becomes quite probable that the switch will fail at least one time.

Final answer:

The probability of a light switch failing after 1,200 operations can be calculated by first finding the likelihood of it not failing across those operations with the formula [tex]0.999^{1200}[/tex], and then subtracting that result from 1.

Explanation:

The question asks about the probability that a light switch will fail after being turned on or off 1,200 times, given that the probability it will fail on any given operation is 0.001. This can be approached by calculating the probability that the switch does not fail in all 1,200 operations and then subtracting that probability from 1.

To calculate the probability of the switch not failing in a single operation, we subtract the failure probability from 1: 1 - 0.001 = 0.999. The probability of the switch not failing in all 1,200 operations is [tex]0.999^{1200}[/tex].

Finally, the probability of the switch failing at least once in 1,200 operations is [tex]1 - 0.999^{1200}[/tex]. When you calculate this, it gives the probability of failure after 1,200 operations.

Each summer Primo Pizza and Pizza Supreme compete to see who has the larger summer profit. Let f ( x ) f(x) represent Primo Pizza's profit x x days after June 1. Let g ( x ) g(x) represent Pizza Supreme's profit x x days after June 1. Suppose Primo Pizza's profit each day is two times as large as the profit of Pizza Supreme. Express the function f f in terms of the function g
g.

Answers

For this case we have the following functions:
 f (x) = Primo Pizza's profit
 g (x) = Pizza Supreme's profit.
 According to the statement we have:
 "Primo Pizza's profit each day is two times as large as the profit of Pizza Supreme"
 Therefore, we can write one function in terms of the other in the following way:
 f (x) = 2g (x)
 Answer: 
 the function f in terms of the function g is:
 f (x) = 2g (x)
Final answer:

The profit of Primo Pizza is twice the profit of Pizza Supreme each day. Therefore, if g(x) represents the profit of Pizza Supreme x days after June 1, then f(x), representing Primo Pizza's profit, is given by f(x) = 2g(x). This means if Pizza Supreme's profit on a particular day is $500, Primo Pizza's profit on the same day is $1000.

Explanation:

In this problem, we are given that the profit of Primo Pizza (represented by the function f(x)) is two times larger than the profit of Pizza Supreme (represented by the function g(x)). This relationship between the two profits can be expressed as f(x) = 2 * g(x). So, if you know the profit of Pizza Supreme on a particular day (g(x)), you can determine the profit of Primo Pizza on that day by doubling the profit of Pizza Supreme.

For instance, if Pizza Supreme's profit 10 days after June 1st is $500 (so, g(10) = $500), then Primo Pizza's profit on the same day would be f(10) = 2 * g(10) = 2 * $500 = $1000. Thus, Primo Pizza is making twice the profit of Pizza Supreme each day.

      (x + 3)

Explanation:

1) Given function:

y = f(x) = 2 / x

2) Translatiing 3 units to the left is making f(x + 3), so that implies:

y = 2 / (x + 3)

3) Translating 4 units up is making f(x + 3) + 4, so that implies:
      
          2
y =  -------- + 4
      (x + 3)

Which is the fourth option.


Question 2.  simplify

t^2 + 2t - 24
----------------
  t^2 - 36

Answer: fourth option

t - 4
------ , with t ≠ - 6 and t ≠ 6.
t + 6

Explanation:

1) Factor the numerator:

t^2 + 2t - 24 = (t + 6) (t - 4)

2) Factor the denominator:

t^2 - 36 = (t + 6) (t - 6)

3) Rewrite the fraction:

 (t + 6) (t - 4)
-------------------
(t + 6) (t - 6)

4) Cancel the factor t + 6 which is in both numerator and denominator, which you can do only y t + 6 ≠ 0 => t ≠ -6.

 t - 4
-------
 t - 6

That is the simplified expression, with the restrictions that t ≠ - 6  and t ≠ 6, because the denominator cannot be 0.

Explanation:

1) Factor x^2 + 7x + 10

x^2 + 7x + 10 = (x + 5) (x + 2)

2) Factor x^2 - 3x - 18

x^2 - 3x - 18 = (x - 6)(x + 3)

3) Factor x^2 + x - 2

x^2 + x - 2 = (x + 2) (x - 1)

4) Rewrite the given expression using the factors:

  (x + 5) (x + 2) (x - 6) (x + 3)

The restrictions are those values of x that make any factor that is or was in the denominator: x ≠ -3, x ≠ - 2, and x ≠ 1.

Question 4. Simplify the complex fraction:

             n - 4
     ------------------
      n^2 - 2n - 15
--------------------------
             n + 1
          -----------
             n + 3

Answer: option 4.

       n - 4
------------------
(n - 5) ( n + 3)

Explanation

1) Factor n^2 - 2n - 15


n^2 - 2n - 15 = (n - 5)(n + 3)

2) rewrite the expression:

             n - 4
    ---------------------
      (n - 5) ( n + 3)
----------------------------
              n + 1
            ----------
              n + 3

3) Convert (n + 1) / (n + 3) into its reciprocal (n + 3) / (n + 1), and multiply instead of dividing.


             n - 4              n + 3
    ---------------------  * --------
      (n - 5) ( n + 3)      ( n + 1)

4) Cancel n + 3

       n - 4
------------------
(n - 5) ( n + 3)


That is the simplest form.

Question 5. Find the difference

Answer: second choice

 1 - n
--------
 n + 4

Explanation:


1) given:

n^2 + 3n + 2        2n
----------------- -   -------
n^2 + 6n + 8       n + 4

2) factor the two quadratic trinomials

n^2 + 3n + 2 = (n + 2) ( n + 1)

n^2 + 6n + 8 = (n + 4) (n + 2)

3) Rewrite the expression:

   (n + 2) (n + 1)          2n
-----------------------  -  -------
   (n + 4 ) (n + 2)       n + 4

4) cancel the factor n + 2

   n + 1          2n
-----------  -   --------
   n + 4         n + 4

5) subract the fractions. They have the same denominator.

  n + 1 - 2n           1 - n
--------------- =     ----------
    n + 4                n + 4

And that is the simples form.

Question 6.  Problem

Irina paints 1 room in 9 hours
Paulo paints 1 room in 8 hours

How long working together?

Answer:

x / 9 + x / 8 = 1, x ≈ 4.24 hours

Explanation:

1) In the time x, Irina will paint x / 9 parts of the room

2) Paulo will paint (in the same time) x / 8 parts of the same room

3) The total painted is 1 room.

So the equation is:

x / 9 + x / 8 = 1

4) The solution of that equation is:

[8x + 9x ] / (9*8) = 1

=> 8x + 9x = 72

=> 17x = 72

=> x = 72 / 17

=> x ≈ 4.24 hours
