The Chang's neighbor owns a ready-mix company. The company receives an order for 12.5 cubic yards of concrete. This mixture of concrete contains sand, cement, gravel, and water. For each pound of water, there are 5.5 pounds of sand, 2 pounds of cement, and 7.5 pounds of gravel. Determine how many pounds of cement must be used. Assume a cubic yard of concrete weighs 4,000 pounds.

Answers

Answer 1
The quantities in the proportion you give add to 16 pounds, of which 2 pounds are cement. That is, cement constitutes 1/8 of the total weight.

For each yard of concrete, 4000 lb/8 = 500 lb of cement are used.

For 12.5 yards of concrete, 12.5 * 500 = 6,250 pounds of cement will be used.

_____
"yard" in this case is shorthand for "cubic yard".

How many ways are there to pick 8 balls from large piles of (identical) red, white, and blue balls plus 1 pink ball, 1 lavender ball, and 1 tan ball?

Answers

Suppose order does not matter, then combinations will consist of 0 to 3 of the singleton colors, and 5 to 8 that are some combination of red, white or blue. This implies that we shall formulate the answer as the sum from k=0 to k=3 of:
N=(Number of ways to pick k of the single colors)*(number of ways to pick 8-k balls  from red, white pr blue)
The first factor is C(3,k), let's call the second factor A(8-k), where A(n) is the number of combinations or red, white or blue when n balls are selected. Given that we want to express A(n) as a formula in terms of n, let's say there are r red balls in a combination (0≤r≤n).  Then there are (n-r) balls that are either white or blue that have been left over. Thus, the number of white balls must be integer from 0 to (n-r), for the universe of (n-r+1) possibilities. Hence, the rest are blue in exactly one way, so A(n) is the sum over r=0 to n:

A(n)=∑(1+n-r)
A(n)=(n+1)(n+1)-n(n+1)2
       =(n+1)(2n+2-n)/2
       =(n+1)(n+2)/2

thus
A(5)=6*7/2=21
A(6)=7*8/2=28
A(7)=8*9/2=36
A(8)=9*10/2=45

The total will give:
N=C(3,0)*A(8)+C(3,1)*A(7)+C(3,2)*A(6)+C(3,3)*A(5)
N=1*45+3*36+3*28+1*21=258

The answer is 258

9.9 kilometers
25.8 kilometers
99.2 kilometers

Answers

25.8 kilometers that is the answer to your question

Answer: 25.8 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: One kilometer = 0.62 miles

Then, [tex]1\text{ mile}=\dfrac{1}{0.62}\text{ kilometers}[/tex]

Then to find the number of kilometers in 16 miles, we need to multiply 16 to [tex]\dfrac{1}{0.62}[/tex], we get

[tex]\text{ 16 miles =}16\times\dfrac{1}{0.62}=25.806451612\approx25.8\text{ kilometers}[/tex]

Hence, 25.8 kilometers equals to 16 miles.

Ella used 1/4 yard of red ribbon. Fill in each box with a number from the list to show equivalent fractions for 1/4

Answers

While you do not have your choices listed, equivalent fractions to 1/4 could be:

2/8; 3/12; 4/16; 5/20; 6/24; etc.

To find equivalent fractions, we multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number.

Answer:

To find fractions equivalent to a given fraction, the process of amplifying the numerator and the denominator of that fraction must be performed. Specifically, each element is amplified by multiplying it by a positive integer. Thus, fractions equivalent to 1/4 are:

(1x2) / (4x2) = 2/8

(1x3) / (4x3) = 3/12

(1x4) / (4x4) = 4/16

(1x5) / (4x5) = 5/20

(1x6) / (4x6) = 6/24 ... Successively.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 80 feet. Find the demensions if the length is 5 feet longer than four times the width. Then find the area of the rectangle.
-Show All Work!-

Answers

Hey there! 

The first thing we should do is review the formulas for area and perimeter. 
Perimeter can be expressed in two ways: a) l+w+l+w OR b) 2l+2w. 
The formula for area is: l*w

We know that the length is 5 feet longer than the width, so when we're defining our variables we can say that width is equal to 'w', and length is equal to 4w+5. 
Since we know that the perimeter is equal to 80, we can say that [tex]80= 2(4w+5) + 2(w)[/tex]. 

Now all we have to do is combine like terms and solve for 80: 

[tex]80 = 2(4w+5) +2w [/tex]
[tex]80 = 8w + 10 +2w[/tex]
[tex]80 = 10w +10[/tex]
[tex]80-10 = 10w +10 -10[/tex]
[tex]70 = 10w[/tex]
[tex] \frac{70}{10} = \frac{10w}{10} [/tex]
[tex]7 = w[/tex]

We now know that the width is equal to 7 feet. To find the length, we can substitute the width into 4w+5: 
[tex]l = 4w + 5 = 4(7)+5[/tex]
[tex]l = 28 + 5[/tex]
[tex]l = 33[/tex]

Now we know that the length is equal to 33 feet. 

So there's your dimensions: 7ft by 33 ft. 

Next, to find the area, we take l*w
[tex]33*7 = 231ft^{2} [/tex]

l - length

w - width

h - height

We have

[tex]l=2\dfrac{2}{3}\ ft=\dfrac{(2)(3)+2}{3}\ ft=\dfrac{8}{3}\ dt\\\\w=1\dfrac{1}{8}\ ft=\dfrac{(1)(8)+1}{8}\ ft=\dfrac{9}{8}\ ft\\\\h=1\dfrac{1}{5}\ ft=\dfrac{(1)(5)+1}{5}\ ft=\dfrac{6}{5}\ ft[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]V=\left(\dfrac{8}{3}\right)\left(\dfrac{9}{8}\right)\left(\dfrac{6}{5}\right)=\dfrac{432}{120}=3.6\ ft^3[/tex]

Answer:

3 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

covert mixed fractions to improper fractions

2 2/3 becomes 8/3

1 1/8 becomes 9/8

1 1/5 become 6/5

then you multiply across will give you 432/120

since the numerator os greater than the demoninator, you have to divide 432

into 120 which then will give you 3 72/120. When you simplify the fraction the final answer is 3 3/5.

Five years ago, Tim’s mom was three times Tim’s age today. Now their combined ages are 45. How old is Tim’s mom today?

Answers

To solve this problem, you must name a variable, create expressions representing the parts of the problem, and then set up an equation.

Let Tim's age today be t. Since Tim's mom's age five years ago was 3 times Tim's current age, Tim's mom's current age is equal to 3t + 5.
Their ages are collectively 45, so Tim's age t and Tim's mom's age 3t + 5 must be equal to 45. Set up an equation and solve for the variable t.

45 = t + (3t + 5)
45 = t + 3t + 5
45 = 4t + 5
40 = 4t
10 = t

Tim is currently 10, and after plugging 10 for t into 3t + 5, we see that Tim's mom is 35.

Now let's check our work. Their combined ages are 45; 10 plus 35 is equal to 45, so that is correct. Further, addressing the "Five years ago, Tim's mom was three times Tim's age today" bit, we see that 10 - Tim's current age - times 3 is equal to 30, which would be Tim's mom's age 5 years ago.

Answer:
Today, Tim's mom is 35.

Answer:

35 years

Step-by-step explanation:

45 = t + (3t + 5)

45 = t + 3t + 5

45 = 4t + 5

40 = 4t

10 = t

which describes the correlation shown?

Answers

Answer:

The correlation that is shown in the scatter plot is:

         Strong positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the scatter plot we see that with the increase of one variable the second variable also increases.

Hence, the association is positive.

Also, if we draw a trend line that best represents the scatter plot then not all the points will lie above the line but all the data points are either over the line or very close to the line this means that the correlation coefficient is close to 1 but not exactly equal to 1.

            Hence, the correlation is:

               Strong positive.

( For perfect positive all the data points should lie above that line i.e. correlation coefficient must be equal to 1)

Answer:

Option C) Strong positive        

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation

Correlation is a technique that help us to find or define a relationship between two variables. It is a measure of linear relationship between two quantities. A positive correlation means that an increase in one quantity leads to an increase in another quantity A negative correlation means with increase in one quantity the other quantity decreases.

Looking at the graph it could be said that the variables are strongly positively correlated as with a small increase in one variable, the other variable increases.

It is not a perfect positive relation as change in one variable does not lead to equal change in other variable.

It cannot be negative relation as well.

A)
1/8 ml

B)
1/2 ml

C)
7/29 ml

D)
1/4 ml

Answers

There would be 1/2 mL in each beaker.

We start by adding the amounts given by the line plot:
1/4 + 1/4 + 3/8 + 3/8 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 5/8 + 3/4 + 7/8

Find a common denominator.  The smallest thing that 2, 4 and 8 will all evenly divide into is 8:

2/8 + 2/8 + 3/8 + 3/8 + 4/8 + 4/8 + 5/8 + 6/8 + 7/8

Add the numerators:

The length of the patio, in feet, is represented by the function l(x) = x + 5, and the width of the patio is represented by the function w(x) = x + 3. Write the standard form of the function which describes the total area of the patio, a(x) in terms of x, the side length of each tile.

Answers

The area of a rectangle by definition is given by:
 a = (l) * (w)
 Where,
 w: width
 l: long
 Substituting the values we have:
 a (x) = (x + 5) * (x + 3)
 Rewriting:
 a (x) = (x ^ 2 + 3x + 5x + 15)
 a (x) = x ^ 2 + 8x + 15
 Answer: 
 The standard form of the function which describes the total area of the patio, a (x) in terms of x is: 
 a (x) = x ^ 2 + 8x + 15

To find the function for the total area of Billy's patio, a(x), we multiply the length function, l(x) = x + 5, by the width function, w(x) = x + 3. Expanding this multiplication gives us the standard form a(x) = x² + 8x + 15.

Billy is creating a rectangular patio in his backyard using square cement tiles. The function for the length of the patio is l(x) = x + 5, and the function for the width is w(x) = x + 3. To find the function that describes the total area of the patio, a(x), in terms of x, we can multiply the length function by the width function.

First, let's define the area of a rectangle as the product of its length and width: a = l x w. Substituting our functions in, we get:

a(x) = (x + 5) x (x + 3)

Now we will expand this to write it in standard form:

a(x) = x² + 3x + 5x + 15
a(x) = x² + 8x + 15

Therefore, the standard form of the function describing the total area of the patio in terms of x, the side length of each tile, is a(x) = x² + 8x + 15.

Explanation:

The expression given by the student is a mathematical expression involving negative numbers and the order of operations. To solve the expression (−4)−(−2)–{(−5)–[(−7)+(−3)–(−8)]}, we need to follow the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS or BODMAS, which stands for Parentheses/Brackets, Exponents/Orders, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

Start by solving the innermost brackets: (−7) + (−3) – (−8) = −10 – (−8) = −2.Next, address the curly brackets by subtracting the result from step 1 from (−5): (−5) – (−2) = −3.Finally, solve the outermost expression by subtracting (−2) from (−4) and then subtracting the result of step 2: (−4) − (−2) – (−3) = −2 – (−3) = 1.

Therefore, the final answer to the expression is 1.

Reason:

The answer is option B because a square is a parallelogram with all sides and angles equal. Its not option A because a square is not a polygon but does have equal sides.
