Answer:
x = 2.4
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the value when f(x) = x, you just have to replace f(x) for x
[tex]f(x) =-\frac{1}{4}x +3 \\x = - \frac{1}{4}x +3 \\x +\frac{1}{4}x=3 \\\frac{5}{4} x= 3 \\ x = 3*\frac{4}{5} \\x = 2.4[/tex]
The width of a rectangle is 1 2 of its length. What are the sides of the rectangle if its perimeter is 63 in.? Answer: The width is in, the length is in
Answer:
The length of the rectangle is 21 inches, the width of the rectangle is 10.5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x inches be the length of the rectangle, then the width of the rectangle is [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}x[/tex] inches.
The perimeter of the rectangle is the sum of all sides' lengths:
[tex]P_{rectangle}=2(\text{Width}+\text{Length})[/tex]
Thus,
[tex]63=2\left(x+\dfrac{1}{2}x\right) \\ \\63=2\cdot \dfrac{3}{2}x\\ \\63=3x\\ \\x=21[/tex]
Hence, the length of the rectangle is 21 inches, the width of the rectangle is 10.5 inches.
The length of the rectangle is 21 inches, the width of the rectangle is 10.5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x inches be the length of the rectangle, then the width of the rectangle is inches.
The perimeter of the rectangle is the sum of all sides' lengths:
Thus,
Hence, the length of the rectangle is 21 inches, the width of the rectangle is 10.5 inches.

Sarah is going to The store 2.5 miles away. She has only 15 minutes to get there before they close. At what average speed must she ride to get to the store before they close?
Answer:
Sarah must has to ride with average speed 10 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Average Speed tells the rate at which object is travelling his whole journey.
[tex]Average\ Speed\=\ \frac{Total\ distance\ traveled}{Total\ time\ taken}[/tex]
∴ [tex]Average\ Speed=\dfrac{2.5}{\frac{15}{60}}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]Average\ Speed=\dfrac{2.5}{15}\times 60[/tex]
⇒ Average Speed = 10 miles per hour
Hence, Sarah has to travel with average speed more than 10 miles per hour.
Use the rules of exponents to simplify the expressions. Place a final answer in fraction form. (-1/2)to the power of 3 *(-1/2) to the power of 2
Answer:
-1/32
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
[tex](-\frac{1}{2})^{3} )(-\frac{1}{2})^{2})[/tex]
Remember that
The exponent "product rule" tells us that, when multiplying two powers that have the same base, you can add the exponents
so
[tex](-\frac{1}{2})^{3} )(-\frac{1}{2})^{2})=(-\frac{1}{2})^{3+2})=(-\frac{1}{2})^{5})=-\frac{1}{32}[/tex]
A display for rolls of tape indicates that each roll contains 150 yards of tape. If the actual length of tape can vary by 2.5% of that amount, what is the range for the length of the tape on a roll
Answer:
[146.25, 153.75] yards
Step-by-step explanation:
2.5% of 150 yards is ...
0.025 × 150 yd = 3.75 yd
This amount can be added or subtracted from the nominal length, so the range of lengths is ...
from 150 yd -3.75 yd = 146.25 yd
to 150 yd +3.75 yd = 153.75 yd
Good Stuff is giving away free pens to each of the first 200 people who come in the store today. In the first hour, they gave away 25% of the pens. How many is this?
Answer:
50 pens
Step-by-step explanation:
x= 25 percent of 200
25/100 times X/200
Cross multiply them and you get
100x=5000
X=5000/100
X=50
25 percent of 200 is 50.
Which means they have away 50 pens
Determine whether the relation shown here is a function.
Answer:
this is not a function because the 2 is used twice
Answer: "D"
Step-by-step explanation: The mapping diagram shown here would not represent a function. When looking at a mapping diagram, there is one key thing we need to look for to identity if the relation is a function. We need to look and see if an input has two different outputs. When looking at the mapping diagram, the input (2) has two completely different outputs which makes this hard to interpret data. This means that the relation is not a function.
When dealing with mapping diagrams, remember that an input can only have one corresponding output and if it has more than one, then this would not represent a function.
Three quarter of the students running a 100-yard race finished with an average time of 16 seconds. The remaining 25% of students finished with an average time of 12 seconds. What was the average time overall?
Answer:
15 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the split id 25% and 75%, we could create another average pretending that there are four kids, one who ran in 12 seconds, and three who ran in 16.
Equation for averages: (a₁ + a₂ + a₃ + ... [tex]a_{n}[/tex])/ n
Plug in: (12 + 16 + 16 + 16)/4
Add: 60/4
Divide: 15 seconds

My brother and I walk the same route to school every day. My brother takes 40 minutes to get to school and I take 30 minutes. Today, my brother left 4 minutes before I did. How long will it take me to catch up with him?
Answer:
24 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let D represent the distance from school to home and T represent time.
We have been given that your brother takes 40 minutes to get to school.
[tex]\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Your brother's speed}=\frac{D}{40}[/tex]
You take 30 minutes to get to school.
[tex]\text{Your speed}=\frac{D}{30}[/tex]
Your brother left 4 minutes before you did, so distance traveled by him would be:
[tex]\frac{D}{40}\times (T+8)[/tex]
You speed: [tex]\frac{D}{30}\times T[/tex]
You will catch your brother, when both distances would be same:
[tex]\frac{D}{40}\times (T+8)=\frac{D}{30}\times T[/tex]
Cross multiply:
[tex]30D(T+8)=40DT[/tex]
Use distributive property:
[tex]30DT+240D=40DT[/tex]
[tex]30DT-30DT+240D=40DT-30DT[/tex]
[tex]240D=10DT[/tex]
Switch sides:
[tex]10DT=240D[/tex]
[tex]\frac{10DT}{10D}=\frac{240D}{10D}[/tex]
[tex]T=24[/tex]
Therefore, it will take you 24 minutes to catch up your brother.
To catch up to your brother who has a 4-minute head start, it will take you 12 minutes.
Explanation:To determine how long it will take for you to catch up with your brother on the way to school, we need to consider the different walking speeds and the time advantage your brother has.
First, let's determine your walking speeds. If your brother takes 40 minutes to reach school and you take 30 minutes for the same route, then assuming you both walk at a constant speed, we can say that your walking speed is 4/3 times faster than your brother's speed because 40 minutes divided by 30 minutes equals 4/3.
Now, given that your brother has a 4-minute head start, let's calculate the time it takes for you to catch up to him:
Since your speed is 4/3 times that of your brother's, in every 4 minutes, you gain a 1-minute advantage over him because 4 minutes divided by (4/3) equals 3 minutes, which means you walk the same distance 1 minute faster. Your brother's head start is 4 minutes, so you will catch up to him in 4 minutes * 3/1 = 12 minutes.
Therefore, it will take you 12 minutes to catch up with your brother.
# ROOMS CLEANED IN 1 HOUR # MEALS COOKED IN 1 HOUR
Jacob 2 4
William 3 9
What is the minimum William would need to receive from Jacob to be willing to cook another meal?
a) 1/3 of a clean room
b) 1/2 of a clean room
c) 2 clean rooms
d) 3 clean rooms
Answer:
a) 1/3 of a clean room
Step-by-step explanation:
First at all, we need to calculate how much takes Jacob cleaning a room.
So we divide 1 hour by 2 rooms
1 hour = 60 min
and [tex]\frac{60min}{2 rooms} = 30 min/room[/tex]
Now, we must to know how much takes William to cook a meal:
In 60 minutes William cooks 9 meals
so we have:
[tex]\frac{60min}(9 meals} = 6 \frac{2}{3} minutes/meal \\[/tex]
that means William spends 6 minutes and 40 sec cooking a meal.\
Now we can solve:
In 6 minutes and 40 sec, how many rooms can Jacob clean?
We know Jacob spend 30 minutes cleaning a room so in 10 minutes or 1/3 of a clean room Williams had already cooked another meal. Thus, the closest answer is a)1/3 of a clean room.
Jim currently has $1,250 in his bank account and Sally has $1,400 in her bank account. Jim deposits $27.50 per week and Sally deposits $20 per week into her bank account. After how many weeks will they have the same amount of money
Answer:In 20 weeks they will have the same amount of money.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
Jim has currently balance=$1250
Sally has currently balance=$1400
Jim deposits money per week=$27.50
Sally deposits per week=$20
We have to find how many weeks they will have the same amount of money.
Let w be the week .After w week they have same amount
According to question
[tex]1250+27.50 w=1400+20w[/tex]
[tex]27.50 w-20 w=1400-1250[/tex]
[tex]7.5 w=150[/tex]
[tex]w=\frac{150}{7.5}=20[/tex]
After 20 weeks , they will have the same amount of money.

a chocolate company makes chocolate malt balls that are 0.75 inches in diameter. the carton they are to be packed in is approximately a rectangular prism with the dimensions 3 inches by 3 inches by 7.5 inches. how many malt balls will fit in the carton?
(reminder: you can assume that for random packing space 190% of the volume of the sphere is needed to pack the spheres and volume if sphere is 4/3π x r^3)
A. 160 balls
B. 210 balls
C. 305 balls
D. 82 balls
Answer:
A. 160 balls
Step-by-step explanation:
First we find the volume of each sphere.
diameter = d = 0.75 in.
radius = r = d/2 = 0.75/2 in. = 0.375 in.
V = (4/3)π(r^3) = (4/3)(3.14159)(0.375 in.)^3 = 0.221 in.^3
Because of the assumption about the space occupied by a sphere in random packing, we now calculate 190% of the volume of the sphere.
190%V = 1.9 * 0.221 in.^3 = 0.420 in.^3
Now we calculate the volume of the box.
V = LWH = 3 in. * 3 in. * 7.5 in. = 67.5 in.^3
To find out the number of balls that fit in the box, we divide the volume of the box by the randomly packed ball volume.
number of balls = (67.5 in.^3)/(0.420 in.^3) = 160.8
Answer: 160 balls
Suppose that the universal set is U = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 }. Express each of these sets with bit strings, where the ith bit in the string is 1 if i is in the set and 0 otherwise:
a){ 3, 4, 5 }
b){ 1, 3, 6, 10 }
c){ 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9 }
Answer:
a.0011100000
b.1010010001
c.0111001110
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a universal set
U={1,2,3,4,5,...10}
We have to express each given set with bit strings , where the ith bit in the string is 1 if i is in the set and 0 otherwise
a.{3,4,5}
For 1=0 because 1 is not in the given set
For 3=1, For 4=2 , For 5=1 because 3,4 and 5 are in the set
For 2=0
For 6=0
For 7=0
For 8=0
For 9=0
For 10=0
Therefore, bit string=0011100000
b.{1,3,6,10}
For 1,3,6 and 10 write 1 because these elements are present in the set and for 2,4,5,7,8,9 write 0 because these elements are not present in the set
Bit string =1010010001
c.{2,3,4,7,8,9}
Similarly
Those elements which are present in the set then for those elements write 1 otherwise 0.
Bit string =0111001110

Answer:222
Step-by-step explanation:
add it
The pipes need to be moved 2.25 feet.
To determine how many feet the pipes need to be moved:
Start with the required clearance: 10.5 feet.Subtract the current distance of the pipes from the wall: 8.25 feet.Calculate the difference to find the distance the pipes need to be moved: 10.5 - 8.25 = 2.25 feet.Therefore, the pipes need to be moved 2.25 feet away from the wall to achieve the required clearance.

Type 1.0e-4 as a floating-point literal with a single digit before and four digits after the decimal point. Note: do not use scientific notation.
Answer:
0.0001
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of the number is 0.0001. That presentation meets the format requirements for your literal.
To express 1.0e-4 as a floating-point literal in long form without scientific notation, write it as 0.0001, which means moving the decimal four places to the left.
Explanation:To type 1.0e-4 as a floating-point literal with a single digit before and four digits after the decimal point without using scientific notation, we need to convert the exponent to its decimal representation. The exponent “e-4” indicates that the decimal point is to be moved 4 places to the left.
The number 1.0e-4 in long form is 0.0001. This is because the exponent part “e-4” of the scientific notation corresponds to dividing the number by 10,000 (which is 10⁴), turning 1 into 0.0001. To express this number with one digit before the decimal point and four digits after, we write it as 0.0001.
When converting from scientific notation or using significant figures, remember that all digits reported in front of the multiplication sign are significant, zero functions as a placeholder for the decimal point, and negative exponents indicate division by powers of ten.
A seven-digit number has a 0 in the ones place,a 6 in the ten thousands place, an 8 in the millions place, and fives in each of the remaining places and what is the number
So this number is going to be a seven-digit number, and in the ones place, there will be a 0, giving us ?.???.??0. When a 6 is in the ten thousands place and the 8 in the millions place, it would be 8,?6?,??0. Now the rest of the places that are missing a number is going to be five, which is 8,565,550. The answer is 8,565,550.
Hope this helped!

Nathan opened a savings account 11 years ago with a deposit of $2,665.79. The account has an interest rate of 4.8% compounded quarterly. How much interest has Nelson
earned?
$2,793.75
$1,798.99
$1,839.97
$4,505.76
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Compound Amount equation: A = P(1+r/n)^(nt), where P is the original amount (principal), r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction, n is the number of compounding periods per year, and t is the number of years. Here we have:
A = ($2665.79)(1 + 0.048/4)^(4*11), or:
A = ($2665.79)(1.012)^44 = $4505.76.
Subtracting the principal amount from this result, we get:
$4505.76 - $2665.79 = $1839.97
This matches the third of the four given possible answers.
Final answer:
To calculate the interest earned, use the formula for compound interest: CI = P(1 + r/n)^(nt) - P. Plugging in the given values, the interest earned by Nelson is $1,839.97.
Explanation:
To calculate the interest earned, we can use the formula for compound interest:
CI = P(1 + r/n)^(nt) - P
Where CI is the compound interest, P is the principal amount, r is the annual interest rate, n is the number of times interest is compounded per year, and t is the number of years.
Plugging in the given values, we have:
CI = 2665.79(1 + 0.048/4)^(4*11) - 2665.79
Calculating this, we find that the interest earned is $1,839.97.
A maple syrup producer would like to increase production by 500 gallons per each consecutive year with a goal of producing at least 20,000 gallons of syrup cumulatively for the first five year period of production.
If the first year’s production, in gallons, is given by x, write expressions for each of the other years’ productions.
Year 1 = x Year 2 = Year 3 = Year 4 = Year 5 =
b) Find all possible values of syrup that could be produced the first year to meet the goal of at least 20,000 gallons cumulatively over the five-year period. You must set up a mathematical formula/rule and solve algebraically.
Answer:
b) x ≥ 3000 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Part a)
Production of Year 1 = x gallons
By each year the producer will increase the production by 500 gallons. So,
Production in Year 2 = x + 500 gallons
Similarly,
Production in Year 3 = x + 500 + 500 = x + 1000 gallons
Production in Year 4 = x + 1000 + 500 = x + 1500 gallons
Production in Year 5 = x + 1500 + 500 = x + 2000 gallons
Part b)
The maple syrup producer wants to produced atleast 20,000 gallons in 5 years.
Total amount produced in 5 years = x + x + 500 + x + 1000 + x + 1500 + x + 2000
Total amount produced in 5 years = 5x + 5000
Since, producer wants total production to be atleast 20,000, we can set up the inequality as:
5x + 5000 ≥ 20000
Subtracting 5000 from both sides, we get:
5x ≥ 15000
Dividing both sides by 5, we get:
x ≥ 3000
This means, in the first year the production of maple syrup must be atleast 3,000 gallons i.e 3000 gallons or more to have a total of atleast 20,000 gallons in 5 years.

Which graph represents the solution set for the inequality StartFraction one-half EndFraction x is less than or equal to 18.x ≤ 18? A number line from 0 to 10 in increments of 1. A point is at 9 and a bold line starts at 9 and is pointing to the right. A number line from 0 to 60 in increments of 6. A point is at 36 and a bold line starts at 36 and is pointing to the right. A number line from 0 to 10 in increments of 1. A point is at 9 and a bold line starts at 9 and is pointing to the left. A number line from 0 to 60 in increments of 6. A point is at 36 and a bold line starts at 36 and is pointing to the left.
Answer:
A number line from 0 to 60 in increments of 6. A point is at 36 and a bold line starts at 36 and is pointing to the left. ⇒ last answer
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain how to solve the problem
- When solving an inequality, there are some important points:
# If the inequality is x > a, then it represented on the number line by
a ray with empty small circle as end starts at a and pointed to
the right (⇒ ∞)
# If the inequality is x ≥ a, then it represented on the number line by
a ray with bold small circle as end starts at a and pointed to the
right (⇒ ∞)
# If the inequality is x < a, then it represented on the number line
by a ray with empty small circle as end starts at a and pointed to
the left (⇒ -∞)
# If the inequality is x ≤ a, then it represented on the number line by
a ray with bold small circle as end starts at a and pointed to the
left (⇒ -∞)
* Lets solve the problem
∵ 1/2 x ≤ 18
- Multiply both sides by 2
∴ x ≤ 36
- To represent it draw a number line from 0 to 60 and the counted
by 6 as 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60
- Draw a ray with bold end starts at 36 and pointed to the left
∴ A number line from 0 to 60 in increments of 6. A point is at 36 and
a bold line starts at 36 and is pointing to the left.

You are competing in a game with 2 other players with a 21-faces dice (labeled 1-21). All three of you gets to choose a number and then roll the dice. Whoever chose the number closest to the outcome wins. What is your strategy?
Answer:
This is actually an interview question for IT jobs!
The game strategy changes if there can be communication or not.
If there is no communication then I would pick the expected value of the game, meaning the sum of each value times the probability of it showing up on the die (1/21) or:
[tex]E(x) = 1*\frac{1}{21} +2*\frac{1}{21}+3*\frac{1}{21}+...+21*\frac{1}{21}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{231}{21} =11[/tex]
This mathematically minimizes the difference between my pick and the one that comes from the roll.
If there is communication, and a consensus can be reached, then the most reasonable answer would be the one that gives all of us the same possibility to win: 4, 11, 18, so each of us covers 7 numbers, and each of us would have 1/3 chances to win.
If there is communication, and a consensus cannot be reached, then I would have to calculate the difference between both their pics, if it is smaller than the expected value, and it inclines towards high numbers, for example: 10, 18, then i would pick one less than the smallest, meaning 9, because i would cover 1-9, the one picking 10 would cover 10-14 and 18 would cover 15-21. My range would be bigger. If it is smaller than the expected value, and it inclines towards low numbers, i would pick one over the highest, for example 4, 9. I would pick 10. If the difference is bigger than the expected value then i would calculate whether i would cover more picking a number in the middle of their range or to the side, depending on their pick. For example, if they pick 9, 21, I would cover more range picking 8 than 15.
To maximize odds of winning in a game with a 21-faced die, choose a number in the middle range, such as 11, or strategically select a number that evenly splits the range of possible outcomes, taking into account the numbers chosen by other players.
Explanation:The best strategy for choosing a number in a game with a 21-faced die is to select a number that lies in the middle range, as this increases the probability that your number will be closest to the outcome of the roll. With a 21-faced die, the middle number is 11. Assuming other players may not choose the same number, if you pick first, go for 11. If other players have already picked numbers, choose a number that splits the remaining range of outcomes as evenly as possible. This method leverages the concept of probability which, unlike games of pure luck like roulette, gives you some control as you can make educated guesses based on the remaining numbers, just as skill is involved in games like blackjack where decisions are critical to the outcome.
In gambling games like blackjack, skillful play can reduce the house edge whereas in roulette, every spin is independent of the last. The outcomes of particular numbers being rolled in a dice game can inform your strategy to some extent - for example, knowing that seven is the most common result when rolling two six-sided dice because there are more combinations that produce this sum. However, with a single die, as in the scenario with the 21-sided die, each face has an equal probability of landing face up, so strategic choice becomes more about distancing your choice from others to maximize your chances of being closest to the roll's outcome.
What is the slope of the equation y – 3 = –4(x – 5)?
Answer:
[tex] -4 = m[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the Point-Slope Formula, y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), m represents the rate of change [slope], so in this case, -4 is our slope.

Identify Who and What were investigated and the Population of interest. A study found that after a meal, a woman can tell whether a man is married or single by looking at his face. The study involved 40 undergraduate women who were asked to guess the marital status of 80 men based on photos of their face. Half of the men were married, and the other half were single. All held similar expressions in the photos. All the women had eaten the same meal at the time of the test. The result was that the closer a woman was to her last meal, the more accurate her guess.
