Adam has been asked to post a parcel for a family member. He has been told that the parcel weighs 12lbs 8oz. How much does the parcel weigh to the nearest whole kilogram

Answers

Answer 1

Answer is 6 kg:

Given that Adam was asked to post a parcel.  The weight of the parcel was 12 lbs and 8 oz.

To convert the weight in kgs:

Let us convert oz into pounds first to make it uniform.

We have 16 0z. = 1 lb

Hence 8 oz. = 8/16 = 0.5 lbs

Weight of the parcel = 12.5 lbs.

We have the converting factor as

2.2 pounds make 1 kg.

Hence 12.5 pounds = 12.5/2.2 = 5.6818

So weight of the parcel in kg= 6. (after rounding off)

Multiply the first and last term.  Now find two numbers that when you multiply gives you that product and when you add them gives you the middle term.  Replace the middle term with those two numbers and factor using the grouping method.

10w² - 37w + 15

                          10 x 15 = 150 (1 x150, 2 x 75, 3 x 50, 5 x 30, 6 x 25, 10 x 15)

None of those pairs have a sum of -37 so this polynomial is prime.

Answers

The correct answer is y=−1/16

Answer:

A. [tex]y=-\frac{49}{16}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the directrix of a parabola [tex](x - h)^2 = 4p (y - k)[/tex] is,

y = k - p

Here, the given parabola,

[tex]\frac{1}{4}(y+3)=(x-2)^2[/tex]

By comparing,

We get,

k = - 3,

[tex]4p=\frac{1}{4}\implies p=\frac{1}{16}[/tex]

Hence, the directrix of the given parabola is,

[tex]y=-3-\frac{1}{16}[/tex]

[tex] y=\frac{-48-1}{16}[/tex]

[tex]\implies y = -\frac{49}{16}[/tex]

A recipe asks for 2 2/3 cups of raisins. How many cups of raisins are needed to make 1/2 of a recipe? Express the answer in simplest form. Enter the answer in the box.

Answers

1 1/3 cups of raisins are needed to make 1/2 of a recipe

Final answer:

To find the quantity of raisins for half of the recipe, which originally called for 2 2/3 cups, you'd divide 2 2/3 cups by 2, which equals 1 1/3 cups.

Explanation:

This is a question about fractions and division. If a full recipe requires 2 2/3 cups of raisins and you want to make just 1/2 of the recipe, you need to divide the quantity of the raisins by 2.

In fraction form, 2 2/3 is equivalent to 8/3 (as 2*3 + 2 = 8). Then, to find half of this amount, we divide 8/3 by 2. We can do this by multiplying 8/3 by 1/2, which gives us 4/3. Therefore, 1/2 of the recipe requires 4/3, or 1 1/3 cups of raisins.

A small farmer in the interior of Par, when measuring his rectangular terrain, realized that his dimension is in reason 5/7. If the terrain area is 2240 m2, then its largest dimension in meters is

Let

x--------> the smallest dimension of the rectangular terrain

y--------> the largest dimension of the rectangular terrain

we know that

what does the denominator of a rational exponent represent? 15 POINTS

Answers

The denominator of a fractional exponent represents the degree of root.

For example

[tex]x^{\frac{1}{3}} = \sqrt[3]{x}\\x^{\frac{1}{4}} = \sqrt[4]{x}\\x^{\frac{1}{5}} = \sqrt[5]{x}[/tex]

Final answer:

The denominator of a rational exponent represents the root or nth root of the base number. It is expressed in the form of a fraction where the numerator represents the power and the denominator represents the root or nth root. Rational exponents are used in simplifying expressions and performing calculations involving roots and powers.

Explanation:

The denominator of a rational exponent represents the root or nth root of the base number. A rational exponent is expressed in the form of a fraction, where the numerator represents the power to which the base is raised, and the denominator represents the root or nth root. For example, in the rational exponent 3/2, the base number is raised to the power of 3 and then the cube root is taken.

When the numerator of the rational exponent is 0, it signifies that the number is raised to the power of 0, which always results in 1. On the other hand, when the denominator is 1, it signifies that there is no root involved, and the number is simply raised to the power indicated by the numerator.

Understanding rational exponents is essential in simplifying expressions, solving equations, and performing calculations involving roots and powers.

Answers

hope you understand
Final answer:

To factor the expression 5ac + 10ab - 2c^2 - 4bc, we first factor out common factors from the pairs of terms which results in 5a(c + 2b) - 2c(c + 2b). Then, we factor out the common binomial (c + 2b) to get the fully factored form: (5a - 2c)(c + 2b).

Explanation:

The expression given is 5ac + 10ab - 2c^2 - 4bc. To factor this expression, we need to look for common factors in the terms. Let's take each pair of terms and factor it.

For the first two terms (5ac and 10ab), the common factor is 5a. Factoring these gives: 5a(c + 2b).

The last two terms (-2c^2 and -4bc), -2c is the common factor. Factoring these gives: -2c(c + 2b).

So our expression becomes 5a(c + 2b) - 2c(c + 2b). Finally, we factor out the common binomial term (c + 2b) to get the fully factored form: (5a - 2c)(c + 2b).

Answers

Generally, anything that starts with 5 or anything higher (in this case, 509) will be rounded up. This particular number will be rounded to 18,000 because the 509 rounds up.
Final answer:

To round 17,509 to the nearest thousand, you look at the hundreds digit. If it's 5 or above, you round up. Therefore, 17,509 rounded to the nearest thousand is 18,000.

Explanation:

To round the number 17,509 to the nearest thousand, we first need to look at the digit in the hundreds place; in this case, it's 5. In rounding, if this digit is 5 or above, we round up the preceding number. Since the digit in the hundreds place is 5, we round up the number in the thousand's place from 7 to 8 making the number 18,000. On the other hand, if the digit in the hundreds place was 4 or lower, we would keep the number in the thousands place the same. So, 17,509 rounded to the nearest thousand is 18,000.

Touchdowns scored (X) 0 1 2 3

Number of games (f)             6 10 7 5

Total games played = 6+10+7+5=28

1.

[tex]Probability\ of\ an\ event=\frac{Number\ of\ Favorable\ Outcomes}{Total\ Number\ of\ Possible\ Outcomes}[/tex]

[tex]P(X=0)=\frac{6}{28} \\ P(X=1)=\frac{10}{28} \\ P(X=2)=\frac{7}{28} \\ P(X=3)=\frac{5}{28}[/tex]

Touchdowns scored (X) 0      1           2      3

Probability P(X)                      6/28    10/28  7/28    5/28

2.

The probability of Luis scoring 2 touchdowns(i.e when X=2),

P(scoring 2 touchdowns) = P(X=2)

[tex]=\frac{7}{28}=0.25[/tex]

3.

The probability of Luis scoring more than 1 touchdown(i.e when X>1)

P(scoring more than 1 touchdowns) = P(X>1) = P(X=2) + P(X=3)

[tex]=\frac{7}{28}+\frac{5}{28}=0.42[/tex]

4.

Estimated number of touchdowns is calculated by multiplying the number of touchdowns by their respective probabilities and adding the result.  

Estimated number of touchdowns is,

[tex]=0\times \frac{6}{28}+1\times \frac{10}{28}+2\times \frac{7}{28}+3\times \frac{5}{28}[/tex]
