There are 300 apples and peaches for sale at a farmers market. The ratio of the number of apples to the number of peaches is 7:8. If 50 apples and 40 peaches are sold, what is the ratio of the reaming apples to peaches

Answer:89

Step-by-step explanation:

Given scott had an average of 83 on his first three exams

i.e. the sum of first three exams [tex]\sum S_1=83\times 3[/tex]

later he scored an average on the next six exams

i.e. the sum of later 6 exams is [tex]\sum S_2=92\times 6[/tex]

[tex]\sum S_1+\sum S_2=83\times 3+92\times 6=801[/tex]

therefore his average score is =[tex]\frac{801}{9}=89[/tex]

Thus his average score is 89

To find Scott's average for all nine exams, add up the scores from the first three and next six exams, then divide by the total number of exams.

To find Scott's average for all nine exams, we need to calculate the overall average using the given averages for the first three and next six exams.

The average of the first three exams is 83, and the average of the next six exams is 92. To find the average for all nine exams, we can use the formula:Total sum of scores / Number of exams

So, Scott's average for all nine exams is:(83*3 + 92*6) / 9 = 89.1111...

Rounding to the nearest tenth, Scott's average for all nine exams is 89.1.

Answer:

m<AED = 92°

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

measure of arc BC = 38° therefore m<BDC = 38/2 = 19°

measure of arc AD = 146° therefore m<ACD = 146/2 = 73°

To find the measure of <CED

Consider the ΔCDE

m<D = m<BDC = 19° and

m<C = m<ACD = 73°

By using angle sum property  m<CED can be written as,

m<CED = 180 -( m<D + m<C )

 = 180 - (19 + 73)

 = 180 - 92

= 88°

To find the measure of <AED

<AED  and <CED are linear pair

m<AED + m<CED = 180

m<AED = 180 - m<CED

 = 180 - 88

 = 92°

Therefore m<AED = 92°

[tex]\large\boxed{\text{Nine over eighteen}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we're trying to find the probability of picking a person that is a male or a doctor.

We know that there are:

With the information above, we can find the probability.

Lets first find how many male nurses there are. To find this, we would get our total amount of nurses (15) and subtract it by 9, due to the fact that 9 of the nurses are female.

[tex]15-9=6[/tex]

This means that there are 6 male nurses.

6 would be added to our probability.

We're not done yet, we also need to add the chance of getting a doctor in our probability.

Since there's 3 doctors, we would just add 3 to our probability.

[tex]6+3=9[/tex]

Now, we need to find the total. When we add all together, we would get 18. This means that 18 would go on our denominator and 9 will go on our numerator.

This means that the chance of getting a male or a doctor would be [tex]\frac{9}{18}[/tex], or nine over eighteen.

Chris would need to drive 650 miles for the two plans to cost the same.

Further Explanation:

Let d = distance traveled in miles

Plan 1 will have an initial fee of $65 and a cost of $0.80 per mile driven. Therefore, the total cost to drive a distance of d will be:

total cost = $65 + ($ 0.80 × d)

Plan 2 will have no initial fee but has a cost of $0.90 per mile drive. The total cost, then, to drive a distance of d will be:

total cost = $0.90 × d

If the two costs are the same, then:

$65 + ($ 0.80 × d) = $0.90 × d

The distance driven, d, can then be solved algebraically.

Combining like terms:

$65 = $0.90d - $0.80d

$65 = $0.10d

Solving for d:

d = $65/$0.10

d = 650 miles

To check the answer, solve for the total cost of Plan 1 and Plan 2 and see if they are equal.

Plan 1:

total cost = $65 + ($0.80 x 650)

total cost = $65 + $520

total cost = $585

Plan 2:

total cost = $0.90 x 650

total cost = $585

Since both plans cost the same, then the distance 650 mi is correct.

x is a "corresponding" angle for the one marked 63°. Here, corresponding angles are congruent, so x = 63°.

__

x and z are "same-side interior angles," so are supplementary. Their sum is 180°. x + z = 180°.

Because x and z are supplementary and z and 63° are supplementary, you know that ...

  z = 180° -63°

  z = 117°

__

We already know that 63° + y + 47° = 180° and x = 63°. That means ...

  x + y + 47° = 180°

Answer:

The area of rectangle EFGH is [tex]242\ in^{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem I assume that rectangle ABCD and rectangle EFGH are similar

step 1

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional, and this ratio is called the scale factor

Let

z ------> the scale factor

The scale factor is the ratio between the diagonals of rectangles

so

[tex]z=\frac{22}{12}=\frac{11}{6}[/tex]

step 2

Find the area of rectangle EFGH

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is the scale factor squared

Let

z------> the scale factor

x -----> area of rectangle EFGH

y ----> area of rectangle ABCD

so

[tex]z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}[/tex]

we have

[tex]z=\frac{11}{6}[/tex]

[tex]y=72\ in^{2}[/tex]

substitute and solve for x

[tex](\frac{11}{6})^{2}=\frac{x}{72}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{121}{36}=\frac{x}{72}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{121}{36}(72)[/tex]

[tex]x=242\ in^{2}[/tex]

The area of rectangle EFGH is approximately 242 square inches.

To find the area of rectangle EFGH given the diagonal lengths of both rectangles and the area of rectangle ABCD, we need to use the properties of rectangles and their diagonals.

Step 1: Analyze Rectangle ABCD

For rectangle ABCD:

- Area [tex]\(A_{ABCD} = 72\)[/tex] square inches

- Diagonal [tex]\(d_{ABCD} = 12\)[/tex] inches

We know the area of a rectangle is given by:

[tex]\[ \text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \][/tex]

Let the length be l and the width be w. So,

[tex]\[ l \times w = 72 \][/tex]

Also, for the diagonal of a rectangle, we use the Pythagorean theorem:

[tex]\[ d = \sqrt{l^2 + w^2} \]\\Given \(d_{ABCD} = 12\),\[ 12 = \sqrt{l^2 + w^2} \]\[ 144 = l^2 + w^2 \][/tex]

Step 2: Solve for l and w

We have two equations:

[tex]1. \( l \times w = 72 \)\\2. \( l^2 + w^2 = 144 \)[/tex]

We can solve these equations simultaneously. First, express \(w\) in terms of \(l\):

[tex]\[ w = \frac{72}{l} \]\\Substitute this into the second equation:\[ l^2 + \left(\frac{72}{l}\right)^2 = 144 \]\[ l^2 + \frac{5184}{l^2} = 144 \][/tex]

Multiply every term by [tex]\(l^2\)[/tex] to clear the fraction:

[tex]\[ l^4 + 5184 = 144l^2 \]\[ l^4 - 144l^2 + 5184 = 0 \]Let \(x = l^2\). Then the equation becomes:\[ x^2 - 144x + 5184 = 0 \][/tex]

Solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula:

[tex]\[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \]\[ x = \frac{144 \pm \sqrt{144^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 5184}}{2 \cdot 1} \]\[ x = \frac{144 \pm \sqrt{20736 - 20736}}{2} \]\[ x = \frac{144 \pm 0}{2} \]\[ x = 72 \][/tex]

So, [tex]\( l^2 = 72 \) and \( w^2 = 72 \)[/tex]. Therefore:

[tex]\[ l = \sqrt{72} = 6\sqrt{2} \]\[ w = \sqrt{72} = 6\sqrt{2} \][/tex]

Step 3: Analyze Rectangle EFGH

For rectangle EFGH:

- Diagonal [tex]\(d_{EFGH} = 22\)[/tex] inches

Let the length be L and the width be W. The relationship for the diagonal is:

[tex]\[ d_{EFGH} = \sqrt{L^2 + W^2} \]Given \(d_{EFGH} = 22\),\[ 22 = \sqrt{L^2 + W^2} \]\[ 484 = L^2 + W^2 \][/tex]

Step 4: Determine Area of Rectangle EFGH

Since the diagonals scale, we assume the rectangles are similar. Thus, the ratios of the corresponding sides (lengths and widths) are the same, and their areas scale with the square of the ratio of the diagonals:

[tex]\[ \text{Area ratio} = \left(\frac{d_{EFGH}}{d_{ABCD}}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{22}{12}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{11}{6}\right)^2 = \frac{121}{36} \][/tex]

So, the area of EFGH is:

[tex]\[ A_{EFGH} = A_{ABCD} \times \frac{121}{36} = 72 \times \frac{121}{36} = 72 \times 3.3611 \approx 242 \text{ square inches} \][/tex]

Thus, the area of rectangle EFGH is approximately 242 square inches.

Answer:

  $495

Step-by-step explanation:

After the 5% raise, her weekly pay was ...

  $550 × 1.05 = $577.50

If she works 35 hours for that pay, her hourly rate is

  $577.50/35 = $16.50

Then, working 30 hours, her weekly pay will be ...

  30 × $16.50 = $495.00

To find the new amount of weekly pay, multiply the increase in pay by the new number of hours. The new amount is $577.50.

To find the new amount of weekly pay, we need to calculate the increase in pay and then multiply it by the new number of hours.

The employee's pay increased by 5 percent. This means the pay increased by 5% of $550, which is equal to 0.05  imes 550 = $27.50.

Her new hourly rate of pay is the same, so it remains at $550 + $27.50 = $577.50.

Finally, we need to calculate the new amount of weekly pay, taking into account the reduced number of hours. The new pay per hour is $577.50 / 30 = $19.25. Multiply this by the new number of hours to get the new amount of weekly pay: $19.25  imes 30 = $577.50.

  646 -527 = 119

The difference of these differences is 17, suggesting that will be the number of packets possible.

  527 = 17 × 31

  646 = 17 × 38

  748 = 17 × 44

The numbers 31, 38, and 44 are relatively prime (31 is actually prime), so there can be no greater number of packets than 17.

There will be 31 pencils, 38 erasers, and 44 sharpeners in each of the 17 packets.

The ratio of the lengths of EF and BC is 2:1. The correct answer is (EF, BC), where the length of EF is twice the length of BC.

The ratio of the lengths of two segments is given as 2:1. We can set up a proportion and find that the length of one segment is twice the length of the other.

In this question, the ratio of the lengths of two segments is given as 2:1. We are asked to find the lengths of the two segments, which are represented by two choices: (EF, BC) and (AD, IH). To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion. Let's assume that EF and BC represent the lengths of the segments, and we can write the proportion as:

[tex]\frac {EF}{BC} =\frac {2}{1}[/tex]

To solve for the lengths, we can cross multiply:

[tex]EF \times 1 = BC \times 2[/tex]

[tex]EF = 2 \times BC[/tex]

So, the length of EF is twice the length of BC. Therefore, the correct answer is (EF, BC), where the length of EF is twice the length of BC.

Final answer:

The student's question deals with the concept of ratios and similar triangles in High School level Mathematics. Without additional context to the specific figures and points mentioned, a precise answer cannot be given. Typically, in similar triangles, corresponding side lengths are proportional, allowing calculation of unknown lengths when a ratio is provided.

Explanation:

The question refers to finding a ratio of lengths related to geometrical figures. Since ratios and proportions frequently deal with lengths and geometry, and the provided examples reference triangles, circles, and other geometric shapes, this question is most closely related to the subject of Mathematics. The use of similar triangles to find unknown lengths is a typical high school-level geometry problem.

Based on the information given in the question, it seems we are required to use the property that states the ratios of corresponding sides of similar triangles are equal. To answer the student's question specifically, we'd need more context to the figures in question, such as circle C with center F and point F', or the configuration of the triangles abc and a'b'c'.

For instance, if we have two similar triangles, with corresponding side lengths in a ratio of 2:1, this means that if one triangle has a side length of 'x', the similar triangle's corresponding side length would be '2x'. To answer the student's query correctly, however, additional information on which particular sides of the named points are being inquired about is necessary.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a triangle with 2 sides and the included angle then the area (A) is

A = 0.5 × a × b × sinΘ

where a, b are the 2 sides and Θ the included angle

here a = 18, b = 12 and Θ = 147°, hence

A = 0. 5 × 18 × 12 × sin147°

   = 108 × sin147° ≈ 65.8 ( to the nearest tenth )

Answer:

The area of triangle is 59.2 in².

Step-by-step explanation:

If a, b and c are three sides of a triangle then the area of triangle by heron's formula is

[tex]A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)[/tex]          .... (1)

where,

[tex]s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}[/tex]

From the given figure it is clear that the length of sides are 12 in, 18 in and 28.8 in. The value of s is

[tex]s=\frac{12+18+28.8}{2}=29.4[/tex]

Substitute s=29.4, a=12, b=18 and c=28.8 in equation (1).

[tex]A=\sqrt{29.4(29.4-12)(29.4-18)(29.4-28.8)}[/tex]

[tex]A=\sqrt{3499.0704}[/tex]

[tex]A=59.15294[/tex]

[tex]A\approx 59.2[/tex]

Therefore the area of triangle is 59.2 in².

The correct answer is:

                Option: B

   [tex]B.\ a_n=27(\dfrac{1}{3})^{n-1}[/tex]

We are given that the graph passes through (2,9) , (3,3) and (4,1)

Now, the function which models the graph is given by:

[tex]a_n=27(\dfrac{1}{3})^{n-1}[/tex]

when n=2 we have:

[tex]a_2=27(\dfrac{1}{3})^{2-1}\\\\i.e.\\\\a_2=27(\dfrac{1}{3})^1\\\\i.e.\\\\a_2=9[/tex]

when n=3 we have:

[tex]a_3=27(\dfrac{1}{3})^{3-1}\\\\i.e.\\\\a_3=27(\dfrac{1}{3})^2\\\\i.e.\\\\a_3=3[/tex]

when n=4 we have:

[tex]a_3=27(\dfrac{1}{3})^{4-1}\\\\i.e.\\\\a_3=27(\dfrac{1}{3})^3\\\\i.e.\\\\a_4=1[/tex]
