Answer:

Cost: $13,680.82

Number of pairs of skates: 1057.25 / 1057-1058

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the cost of the wheels, we need to multiply the cost of a set, $6.47, by the number of wheels needed, 8458, for a quotient of 54723.26. We then divide this quotient by 4, the number of wheels in each set, to get the cost of $13,680.82.

Next, to find the number of pairs that Adam can put wheels on, we divide 8458, the number of wheels Adam has, by 8, the number of wheels Adam puts on each pair of skates. This leaves us with a quotient of 1057.25 pairs. The two whole numbers this number is between are 1057 and 1058.

Final answer:

Adam will spend $13,684.05 to purchase 2,115 sets of inline skate wheels.

He can put eight wheels on 1,057 pairs of inline skates, and the number falls between 1,057 and 1,058 pairs.

Explanation:

The student asked how much money Adam would spend to buy eight thousand four hundred fifty-eight inline skate wheels, given that skate wheels are sold in sets of four and each set cost six dollars and forty-seven cents. To find the total cost, we need to determine how many sets of four wheels are needed and then multiply by the cost per set.

First, we'll calculate the number of sets by dividing the total number of wheels by the number of wheels in a set:

Since you can't buy half a set, Adam needs to buy 2,115 sets of wheels.

Next, we multiply the number of sets by the cost per set to find the total cost:

To determine how many pairs of inline skates Adam can equip with eight wheels, we divide the total number of wheels by eight:

Adam can fully equip 1,057 pairs of inline skates with eight wheels, since you can't have a quarter of a pair of skates. Therefore, the number of pairs of inline skates Adam can put wheels on falls between 1,057 and 1,058.

Answer:

6 bottles , [tex]\frac{1}{2} \ bottles[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Every year Sid uses 2 ¾ bottles of washing up liquid.

His friend uses 3 ¼ bottles.

Question asked:

How much do they use altogether?

How much more washing up liquid does his friend use when compared to him?

Solution:

Sid uses bottles of washing up liquid = [tex]2\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

His friend uses bottles of washing up liquid = [tex]3\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

They use bottles of washing up liquid   [tex]=2\frac{3}{4}+3\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

                                                                  [tex]=\frac{4\times2+3}{4} +\frac{4\times3+1}{4} \\ \\ =\frac{11}{4} +\frac{13}{4} \\ \\ =\frac{11+13}{4} \\ \\ =\frac{24}{4} \\ \\ =6\ bottles[/tex]

Thus, they use 6 bottles of washing up liquid together.

Now, to calculate that his friend uses how much more washing up liquid than Sid, we will subtract Sid uses number of bottles from his friend uses number of bottles:-

[tex]=\frac{13}{4} -\frac{11}{4} \\ \\ =\frac{13-11}{4} \\ \\ =\frac{2}{4} \\ \\ =\frac{1}{2} \ bottles\ (half\ bottles)[/tex]

Thus, his friend uses half bottles more than Sid.

Answer:

1) 1320   2)278256  3)330  4) 455 5)56   6)336  7) 990  8) 2730

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

1) Democrats = 15,  Republicans = 11,  Independents= 8

Total = 15+ 11+ 8 =34

Number of 3 persons committee = 15nCr 1 * 11nCr1 * 8nCr1

nCr =combination

Number of 3 persons committee that can be made by choosing any republican or democrat or independent = 15 * 11* 8 =1320

2)Total number of possible 5 person subcommittes from any 34 people = 34nCr5 = 34!/(29! * 5!)

=278256

3) Number of ways republicans choose subcomittee of 4 members = 11nCr4

= 11!/(7! * 4!)=330 ways

4) Number of ways democrats choose subcomittee of 3 members = 15nCr3

= 15!/ (12! *3!)=455 ways

5) Number of waysindependents choose subcomittee of 3 members = 8nCr3

= 8!/(5! * 3!)= 56 ways

6) Number of ways independents choose chairperson, vice chairperson and secretary:

As one picks each post the number of person decreases

= (Chairperson)* (vice chairperson) * (secretary) = 8nCr1 * 7nCr1 * 6nCr1

=336 ways

7) Number of ways republicans can choose chairperson, vice chairperson and secretary

As one picks each post the number of person decreases

= (Chairperson)* (vice chairperson) * (secretary) = 11nCr1 * 10nCr1 * 9nCr1

= 990ways

8) Number of ways Democrats can choose chairperson, vice chairperson and secretary

As one picks each post the number of person decreases

= (Chairperson)* (vice chairperson) * (secretary) = 15nCr1 * 14nCr1 * 13nCr1

= 2730 ways

Simulate a true/false test by flipping a coin for each question with heads for 'true' and tails for 'false'. To select a homeroom representative from six students, assign numbers and use a random number generator or equivalent method for random selection.

To simulate the situation where you guess the answers on a true/false test with 20 questions, you could use a coin to represent the random guessing. Flip the coin 20 times where heads represents 'true' and tails represents 'false', recording the number of correct outcomes as needed. Since each question can only have one correct answer, the probability of getting a question right is 0.50.

For the situation where one student out of 6 is randomly chosen to be the homeroom representative, you could assign each of the six students a number from 1 to 6. Then, using a random number generator, die, or drawing numbers from a hat, you select a number at random to determine the representative. The probability of any one student being selected is [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] or approximately 0.17.

Answer:

The nth term = n^2 - 2n - 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

                     -4 -3  0  5  12  21  32

Differences      1  3  5  7    9    11

Difference         2 2   2   2    2    <-- divide this by 2 so its n^2.

So the first term is n^2

List the original numbers  and values of n^2:

sequence   -4  -3  0   5    12    21   32

n^2               1    4  9   16  25   36   49

Subtract      -5  -7 -9  -11   -13   -15    -17

These last numbers have a common difference of -2 so the next part of the answer is -2n and get the  -5, -7 etc we add -3.

So our formula is n^2 - 2n - 3.

Check for the 3rd term:

3rd term is  3^2 - 2(3) - 3 = 0.

5th term = 5^2 - 2(5) - 3 =  25 - 10 - 3 = 12.

[tex]f(x_i)=4i\times \frac{3}{n}=\frac{12i}{n}[/tex]

Riemann sum=[tex]\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\sum_{i=1}^{n}f(x_i)\cdot h=\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\sum_{i=1}^{n}(\frac{12i}{n}\times \frac{3}{n}[/tex]

By using

[tex]\sum n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}[/tex]

Riemann sum=[tex]\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\frac{18n(n+1)}{n^2}=\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}18(1+\frac{1}{n})[/tex]

Apply the limit

Area under the curve=[tex]18[/tex] square units

The Riemann sum formula for [tex]\(f(x) = 4x\)[/tex] over [2, 5] using right-hand endpoints and n subintervals is [tex]\(R_n = \sum_{k=1}^{n} 4\left(2 + k \cdot \frac{3}{n}\right) \cdot \frac{3}{n}\)[/tex]. The area is obtained by taking the limit as n approaches infinity.

The Riemann sum for a function f(x) over the interval [a, b] using right-hand endpoints and dividing the interval into n subintervals is given by:

[tex]\[ R_n = \sum_{k=1}^{n} f(c_k) \Delta x \][/tex]

where [tex]\( c_k \)[/tex] is the right-hand endpoint of the [tex]\( k \)[/tex]-th subinterval, [tex]\( \Delta x \)[/tex] is the width of each subinterval, and [tex]\( n \)[/tex] is the number of subintervals.

For the function f(x) = 4x over the interval [2, 5], the width of each subinterval [tex]\( \Delta x \)[/tex] is given by:

[tex]\[ \Delta x = \frac{b - a}{n} \][/tex]

In this case, [tex]\( a = 2 \), \( b = 5 \), and \( f(x) = 4x \)[/tex]. Therefore:

Now, the right-hand endpoint [tex]\( c_k \)[/tex] for each subinterval is given by:

[tex]\[ c_k = a + k \Delta x \][/tex]

Substitute the values:

[tex]\[ c_k = 2 + k \cdot \frac{3}{n} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \Delta x = \frac{5 - 2}{n} = \frac{3}{n} \][/tex]

Now, substitute these expressions into the Riemann sum formula:

[tex]\[ R_n = \sum_{k=1}^{n} f(c_k) \Delta x \][/tex]

[tex]\[ R_n = \sum_{k=1}^{n} 4(2 + k \cdot \frac{3}{n}) \cdot \frac{3}{n} \][/tex]

Simplify this expression. To find the area under the curve, take the limit as n approaches infinity:

[tex]\[ \lim_{n \to \infty} R_n \][/tex]

This limit will give you the area under the curve f(x) = 4x over the interval [2, 5].

Answer:

36.87°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ABC is a right-angle triangle, we can use trigonometric ratios to solve for unknown angles and sides.

For Angle at A, we have lengths of opposite and adjacent sides so we can use tangent at A.

tan(A) = opposite/adjacent

tan(A) = CB/AB

tan(A) = 6/8

A = (tan^-1)(0.75)

A = 36.86989765°

Answer: Archimedes go to sleep at 8.32 metres away from the rock.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the rock beside which he slept was 5 meters tall

Height h = 5m

Angle Ø = 31 degree

To get distance x away from the rock, we will use trigonometry function. SohCahToa

TanØ = opposite/adjacent

Tan 31 = 5/x

x = 5/tan31

x = 8.32m

To find the distance from the rock where Archimedes went to sleep, we calculate the adjacent side of a right triangle using the tangent function with the given angle of 31 degrees and the rock's height of 5 meters. The result is approximately 8.32 meters.

The student's question involves finding the distance from the rock where Archimedes slept to the point where the sunlight hit the ground at a 31-degree angle.

This scenario forms a right triangle with the rock's height as the opposite side, the distance from the rock as the adjacent side, and the Sun's angle providing information to use trigonometry—specifically, the tangent function since we have the opposite side and are looking for the adjacent side.

To calculate the distance, we use the equation tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent, which can be transformed into adjacent = opposite/tan(angle).

Plugging in the values, we get:

adjacent = 5 meters/tan(31 degrees)

adjacent = 8.32

We find that the adjacent side, which is the distance from the rock, is approximately 8.32 meters.

Therefore, Archimedes went to sleep roughly 8.32 meters away from the rock.

Answer

the absolute value of -2 is greater than the absolute value of 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

the absolute value of -2 is 2 and the absolute value of 1.5 is 1.5  

The absolute value of -2 is 2, which is greater than 1.5. Therefore, this inequality is false.

The absolute value of -3.5 is 3.5, which is greater than 2.5. Therefore, this inequality is true.

From the information given, we have that;

|−2| < 1.5:

The absolute value of -2 is 2, which is greater than 1.5. Therefore, this inequality is false.

|−3.5| > 2.5:

The absolute value of -3.5 is 3.5, which is greater than 2.5. Therefore, this inequality is true.

Since we have an OR statement ("or"), if at least one of the inequalities is true, the entire statement is true.

In this case, only the second inequality is true.

Therefore, the overall statement is true.

It will take about 8 minutes until there are 30 grams of the element remaining.

percentage, a relative value indicating hundredth parts of any quantity.

we can use the formula for exponential decay:

[tex]N(t) = N_{0} e^(^-^k^t^)[/tex]

where:

N₀ is the initial quantity (in grams) of the element

N(t) is the quantity (in grams) of the element at time t

k is the decay constant

t is the time (in minutes)

We can start by finding the value of k, which is related to the percentage of decay per minute:

k = ln(1 - %/100)

= ln(1 - 30/100)

= -0.35667

Next, we can plug in the values we have and solve for t:

[tex]30 = 630.e^(^-^0^.^3^5^6^6^7^t^)[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 630, we get:

[tex]0.0476 = e^(^-^0^.^3^5^6^6^7^t^)[/tex]

Taking the natural logarithm of both sides, we get:

ln(0.0476) = -0.35667t

Solving for t, we get:

t = 7.75

Therefore, it will take about 8 minutes until there are 30 grams of the element remaining.

Answer:

The combined average length of five male elephants is 3750cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1 elephant = 7.5m

5 elephants=?

We cross multiply.

5 * 7.5= 37.5m

So the average combined length of 5 male elephants is 37.5m

So we convert 37.5m to centimetres

Recall, 100cm = 1m

With this in mind, we convert 37.5m to cm by multiplying by 100

So, 37.5 x 100= 3750cm.

The combined average length of five male African elephants is 3750 centimeters, obtained by converting the length of one elephant to centimeters and multiplying by five.

To calculate the combined average length, in centimeters, of five male African elephants, we start by converting the length of one elephant from meters to centimeters. Knowing that 1 meter is equivalent to 100 centimeters, we can find the length of one elephant in centimeters:

7.5 meters/elephant × 100 centimeters/meter = 750 centimeters/elephant

Now, to find the total length of five elephants:

750 centimeters/elephant × 5 elephants = 3750 centimeters

Therefore, the combined average length of five male African elephants is 3750 centimeters.

Inscribed angle

Step-by-step explanation:

an angle is a inscribed angle if the vertex is on a circle and the sides of the angle are chords of the the circle

Final answer:

An angle with its vertex on a circle and sides that are chords of the circle is called an inscribed angle. This concept relates to the angle of rotation, which is the arc length divided by the radius of the circle.

Explanation:

An angle with its vertex on a circle and sides that are chords of the circle is known as an inscribed angle. The angle is formed by the two chords that intersect on the circumference of the circle, creating an angle inside the circle.

To understand this concept in relation to movement along a circle's circumference, like a compact disc (CD), one can think of the movement in terms of the angle of rotation. For any point on a rotating CD, the rotation angle can be calculated. This angle is the ratio of the arc length (the distance traveled along the circumference) to the radius of the circle. If the CD completes one full revolution, this angle equals 2π radians (or 360 degrees), indicating a full rotation.

Understanding inscribed angles and rotation angles helps us think about geometric figures and rotational movement, whether in a mathematical problem or in a physical example like a CD rotating on its axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the trend line that passes through the points (10,9) and (35,0) is calculated first by determining the slope, then the y-intercept. This results in the equation y = -0.36x + 12.6.

The subject matter of your question is in the realm of mathematics, specifically, the algebra of straight lines. Given the points (10,9) and (35,0) that a trend line passes through, the equation for this line can be determined using the slope and y-intercept.

First, let's compute the slope (m) which can be determined using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). For our given points, this means: m = (0 - 9) / (35 - 10) = -9 / 25 = -0.36.

Next, we find the y-intercept (b) using the point-slope formula y - y1 = m (x - x1), substituting one of our points and the calculated slope: y - 9 = -0.36 (x - 10). Solving for y (y = -0.36x + b), we find: 9 = -0.36*10 + b which gives b = 9 + 3.6 = 12.6.

Therefore, the equation of the trend line, in the form of y = mx + b, is y = -0.36x + 12.6.

Chemistry = 85 - 60 = 25

Biology = 80 - 60 = 20

In a box plot, The median is the point on the number line where a line divides the rectangular box.

Thus, from the information given in the question about the box plots, the median for Chemistry = 80 (this is where a line divides the box)

Median for Biology = 70

The difference in the median = 80 - 70 = 10.

Lauren didn't make any mistake in Step 1 and 2, as he equally got the same values.

From the given information,

The interquartile range for Chemistry = 85 - 60

                                                          = 25

And, The Interquartile range for Biology = 80 - 60

b)There is reduction of crimes from 1991 to 2001, so it can be assumed that the population has increased over the times, therefore, the per capita number of crimes decreased.

To assess the crime comparison between Minnesota and Michigan, factors like population and crime rates per 100,000 inhabitants should be taken into account instead of raw totals, considering the FBI's data, including the Uniform Crime Reports and the incoming National Incident-Based Reporting System for enhanced data quality.

When comparing crime rates between states like Minnesota and Michigan, simply looking at the raw numbers does not provide a sufficient analysis. The investigator's conclusion that Minnesotans are more law-abiding based on the comparison of total crimes between Minnesota and Michigan in 2001 ignores important factors that influence crime rates such as population size, demographic variations, economic conditions, educational levels, and urbanization rates. For a more accurate assessment, rates per 100,000 citizens should be calculated because they provide a comparison that accounts for population differences.

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which publishes Uniform Crime Reports (UCR), there may be inconsistencies in data quality due to differences in reportage by law enforcement agencies. However, the UCR is one of the most comprehensive sources for crime data and is moving towards the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) which will provide more detailed data, hopefully leading to better-informed discussions and effective crime prevention strategies.

To correctly interpret crime data, it is critical to consider the context, such as the presence of large cities like Detroit in Michigan, which can have higher crime rates. Nonetheless, crime patterns, such as higher auto theft rates in California and Washington as compared to New York and Wisconsin or varying homicide rates across states, suggest that regional differences can be significant. As the FBI indicates, crime types and their associated factors, like firearm access, can impact crime rates and resultant punitive measures.
