What are the equivalent ratios shown in the table? Complete the statement.
24:2=_:3=_:5.5=108:_=_:15

Answers

Answer:

24:2=36:3=66:5.5=108:9=180:15

Step-by-step explanation:

24:2=36:3=66:5.5=108:9=180:15

The complete statement is -

24 : 2 = 36 : 3 = 66 : 5.5 = 108 : 9  = 180 : 15

What is a expression? What is a mathematical equation? What are ratios?

A mathematical expression is made up of terms (constants and variables) separated by mathematical operators. A mathematical equation is used to equate two expressions. Ratio is a quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other.

We have the following statement -

24 : 2 = _ : 3 = _ : 5.5 = 108: _ = _ : 15

We have -

24 : 2 = x : 3 = y : 5.5 = 108 : z  = k : 15

We can solve it partly -

24/2 = x/3

x = (24 x 3)/2

x = 36

Now, we have -

36/3 = y/5.5

(36 x 5.5)/3 = y

y = 12 x 5.5

y = 66

Moving further -

66/5.5 = 108/z

z = (108 x 5.5)/66

z = 9

Finally -

(108/9) = (k/15)

k = (108 x 15)/9

k = 12 x 15

k = 180

Therefore, the complete statement is -

24 : 2 = 36 : 3 = 66 : 5.5 = 108 : 9  = 180 : 15

B) (−5b + 115) + (125 − 10b) = 180

D) (−5b + 115) − 180 = (125 − 10b)

Answers

a is true
because XQL = MQR

Given

∠MQL=180°

∠XQR=180°

Hence ∠MQL=∠XQR

(We know that ∠MQL is the sum of ∠MQR and ∠RQL

and ∠XQR is the sum of ∠XQM and ∠MQR)

lets plug in these in our equation

∠MQL=∠XQR

∠MQR + ∠RQL = ∠XQM + ∠MQR

We can cancel out ∠MQR

hence ∠RQL = ∠XQM

hence we can infer that the opposite angles of intersecting lines are equal

similarly

∠MQR = ∠XQL

which is

125-10b = -5b+115

Hence the right option is A)

Which classification best describes the following system of equations?

12x+5y-3z=36
x-2y+4z=3
9x-10y+5z=27
inconsistent and dependent
consistent and dependent
consistent and independent
inconsistent and independent

Answers

Answer: These three planes are consistent and independent.

Explanation:

Since,  if the system of planes has a solution then it is  called Consistent, While, if it does not have any solution then it is called inconsistent.

Further, If the consistent system has infinite solution then it is dependent but if it has only a unique solution then it is called independent.

Here, given equations of planes are

12x+5y-3z=36           -------(1 )

x-2y+4z=3                 -------(2)

9x-10y+5z=27          -------(3)

From equation (1), 3z=12x+5y-36⇒z=4x+5y/3-12   ------(4)

after putting this value in equation (2) and (3), we will get two equation in variables x and y

So, x-2y+4(4x+5y/3-12)=3 ⇒x-2y+16x+20y/3-48=3⇒3x-6y+48x+20y-144=9⇒51x+14y=153   --------(5)

And, 9x-10y+5(4x+5y/3-12)=27⇒ 9x-10y+20x+25y/3-60=27⇒ 27x-30y+60x+25y-180=81⇒87x-5y=261   --------(6)

after solving equation equation (5) and (6) we will get x=3 and y=0

substituting these values in equation (4) we will get z=0

Thus the solution of these three plane (1), (2) and (3) is x=3, y=0 and z=o

Which is the unique solution, Thus the given planes are consistent and independent.



The given system of equations is consistent and independent so, [tex]\fbox{\begin\\\ \bf option (3)\\\end{minispace}}[/tex] is correct.

Further explanation:

A system of equations is said to be a consistent system if the solution exists and if the solution does not exist then it is an inconsistent system.  

If a consistent system has a unique solution then it is an independent system of equations but if the number of solutions is infinite then it is a dependent system of equations.

Label the given equations as shown below:

[tex]\boxed{x-2y+4z=3}[/tex]               …… (1)

[tex]\boxed{12x+5y-3z=36}[/tex]         …… (2)

[tex]\boxed{9x-10y+5z=27}[/tex]         …… (3)

The augmented matrix for the above equations is, as follows:

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&-2&4\\12&5&-3\\9&-10&5\end{array}\Biggm\vert\begin{array}{c}3\\26\\27\end{array}\right][/tex]

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&-2&4\\0&29&-51\\0&8&-31\end{array}\Biggm\vert\begin{array}{c}3\\0\\0\end{array}\right][/tex]  

Now, apply row transformation [tex]R_{2}\rightarrow R_{2}-4R_{3}[/tex] and [tex]R_{3}\rightarrow R_{3}-3R_{2}[/tex] as,

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&-2&4\\0&-3&73\\0&-1&188\end{array}\Biggm\vert\begin{array}{c}3\\0\\0\end{array}\right][/tex]  

Now, apply row transformations [tex]R_{2}\rightarrow -R_{2}+2R_{3}[/tex] and [tex]R_{3}\rightarrow R_{3}+R_{2}[/tex] as,

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&-2&4\\0&1&303\\0&0&491\end{array}\Biggm\vert\begin{array}{c}3\\0\\0\end{array}\right][/tex]  

The equations obtained from the above augmented matrix are,

[tex]\begin{aligned}x-2y+4z&=3\\y+303z&=0\\491z&=0\end{aligned}[/tex]  

The first equation is simplified to obtain the value of z as,

[tex]\begin{aligned}491z&=0\\z&=0\end{aligned}[/tex]  

Substitute [tex]0[/tex] for [tex]z[/tex] in the equation [tex]y+303z=0[/tex]  to obtain the value of [tex]y[/tex] as,

[tex]\begin{aligned}y+(303\cdot0)&=0\\y&=0\end{aligned}[/tex]

Now, substitute [tex]0[/tex] for [tex]z[/tex] and [tex]0[/tex] for [tex]y[/tex] in the equation [tex]x-2y+4z=3[/tex] to obtain the value of [tex]x[/tex] as,

[tex]\begin{aligned}x-(2\cdot0)+(4\cdot0)&=3\\x&=3\end{aligned}[/tex]  

Therefore, the value of [tex]x[/tex] is [tex]3[/tex], the value of [tex]y[/tex] is [tex]0[/tex] and the value of [tex]z[/tex] is [tex]0[/tex] and the system has a unique solution.

Thus, the given system of equations is consistent and independent.

Option (1)

Here, the first option is inconsistent and dependent.

There exists a solution of the given system of equations so it is consistent.

Therefore, option (1) is incorrect.

Option (2)

Here, the second option is consistent and dependent.

There exists a solution of the given system of equations so it is consistent.

Also, the solution is unique therefore the system of equations is independent.

Therefore, option (2) is incorrect.

Option (3)

Here, the third option is consistent and independent.

There exists a solution of the given system of equations so it is consistent.

Also, the solution is unique therefore the system of equations is independent.

Therefore, option (3) is correct.

Option (4)

Here, the fourth option is inconsistent and independent.

There exists a solution of the given system of equations so it is consistent.

Therefore, option (4) is incorrect.

Greg drew a pair of parallel lines and a line segment next to each other on a chalkboard. Which of these statements best compares the pair of parallel lines and the line segment? (1 point) Parallel lines and the line segment have no dimensions of measurement. The parallel lines and the line segment always meet at a common endpoint which is called the vertex. Parallel lines and a line segment cannot lie on the same plane at the same time because they do not overlap. The parallel lines extend infinitely in both directions, and the line segment has two endpoints.

Answers

The parallel lines extend infinitely in both directions, and the line segment has two endpoints.

Answer: If drew drew a pair of lines and draw the segment between them, in a way that the segment is delimited by both lines, then:

If two lines are parallel, then they will never overlap each other, and if you draw a segment between them, then the segment will have two endpoints (one at each intersection with the lines)

So the correct answer is that the parallel lines extend infinitely in both directions, and the line segment has two endpoints.

Alexa buys 27 stamps, each stamp is of 1 square unit of area. She exchanges them for 8 sugar cubes, whose total volume is numerically (not dimensionally) equal to the total area of Alexa?s stamps. Which of the following represents the length of a cube of sugar

Answers

Final answer:

Alexa exchanges 27 stamps for 8 sugar cubes. To find the length of a sugar cube, we calculate the volume of each cube and then find the cube root of the total volume.

Explanation:

In this scenario, Alexa buys 27 stamps, each with an area of 1 square unit. She exchanges them for 8 sugar cubes, whose total volume is equal to the total area of the stamps. To find the length of a single sugar cube, we need to calculate the volume of each sugar cube and then find the length of one side.

The total area of the stamps is 27 square units.Since each stamp has an area of 1 square unit, the total volume of the sugar cubes is also 27 cubic units.To find the length of a single sugar cube, we need to find the cube root of 27, which is approximately 3.

Therefore, the length of a cube of sugar is approximately 3 units.

Lalasa and yasmin are designing a triangular banner to hang in the school gymnasiums. They first draw the design on paper. The triangle has a base of 5 inches and a height of 7 inches. If 1 inch on the drawing is equivalent to 1.5 feet on the actual banner, what will the area of the actual banner be?

A. 17.5 ft2(squared)

B. 52.5 ft2

C. 39.375 ft2

D. 78.75 ft2

Answers

The correct answer is C. 39.375 square feet.

The student's question pertains to finding the area of the actual banner when a scale transformation is applied to a triangular design. To calculate the area of the actual banner, we need to scale the base and the height of the triangle from the drawing size to the actual size and then use the formula for the area of a triangle.

First, we convert the measurements of the base and the height from inches to feet using the given scale of 1 inch = 1.5 feet:

Base in feet: 5 inches × 1.5 feet/inch = 7.5 feetHeight in feet: 7 inches × 1.5 feet/inch = 10.5 feet

We then apply the area formula for a triangle which is Area = (base × height) / 2:

Area = (7.5 feet × 10.5 feet) / 2 = 39.375 square feet

Therefore, the correct answer is C. 39.375 square feet.

The length of a side of a rectangle is 2 units less than a number, and the width is 4 units more than the length. Which of the following expressions represents the area of the rectangle, in square units?

Answers

Let's find the expressions for the length and width of the rectangle. The length (which we will call l) is 2 units less than some undefined number, thus we will use the variable x:
l = x - 2

The width is 4 more than this length:
w = l + 4 = (x - 2) + 4 = x + 2

Now, given that we have the length and width and are looking for the area, we need to multiply these expressions together.

One way to write this would simply be (x + 2)(x - 2). If we wanted to find a different way of writing the area, we could use FOIL to find all terms and get x^2 - 4.

Answers

For time-speed-distance problems, you use the relationship
.. speed = distance/time
in any of its various forms.

The distance traveled at A mph is
.. distance = speed * time
.. distance = A*3

The time required for the rest of the journey is
.. time = distance / speed
.. time = (C -3A)/B

The the total time required to travel C miles is the 3 hours for the first part plus the time for the rest of the journey.
.. total journey time = 3 + (C -3A)B . . . . . hours

C=2*3.14*r or C=d*3.14

The radius is approximately 1.9 in and the circumference is approximately 11.94 in, both rounded to the nearest hundredth.

We have,

If we let d be the diameter of a circle, then the radius of the circle, r, is half of the diameter.

Therefore, we can find the radius of the circle by dividing the diameter by 2:

r = d/2

In this problem,

d ≈ 3.8 in, so we have:

r = 3.8/2 = 1.9 in

To find the circumference of the circle, we can use the formula:

C = 2πr

where π is approximately equal to 3.14 and r is the radius we just found. Substituting in the values, we get:

C = 2 x 3.14 x 1.9 ≈ 11.94 in

What is 4xy + xy -7x + x?

Answers

Final answer:

The expression 4xy + xy - 7x + x simplifies to 5xy - 6x by combining like terms, specifically combining 4xy and xy to get 5xy, and -7x and x to get -6x.

Explanation:

The expression 4xy + xy - 7x + x can be simplified by combining like terms. The terms 4xy and xy are like terms, as they both have the same variables x and y to the same power. Similarly, the terms -7x and x are like terms because they both contain the variable x to the same power. To simplify, we combine 4xy and xy to get 5xy and combine -7x and x to get -6x. Therefore, the simplified expression is 5xy - 6x.

Steps involved:

The expression is 4xy + xy - 7x + x.

Combine like terms: 4xy + xy = 5xy

Combine like terms: -7x + x = -6x

Therefore, the simplified expression is 5xy - 6x.

A field test for a new exam was given to randomly selected seniors. The exams were graded, and the sample mean and sample standard deviation were calculated. Based on the results, the exam creator claims that on the same exam, nine times out of ten, seniors will have an average score within 4% of 70%.

Is the confidence interval at 90%, 95%, or 99%? What is the margin of error? Calculate the confidence interval and explain what it means in terms of the situation.

Answers

All our answers lie in the above statement.

Confidence Level:
The creator claims that 9 out 10 students will have the average score in the said range. Or in other words we can say that the creator is 90% confident about the result of the field test. So the confidence level is 90%. 

Margin of Error:
The average score lies within 4% of 70%. This means the margin of error is 4% i.e. the average scores can deviate from 70% by 4% .

Confidence Interval:
Lower Limit = 70% - 4% = 66%
Upper Limit = 70% + 4% = 74%

Interpretation:
The exam creator is 90% confident that the average scores of seniors will be between 66% and 74%.
