A local grocery store makes a 6-pound mixture of trail mix. The trail mix contains raisins, sunflower seeds, and chocolate-covered peanuts. The raisins cost $3 per pound, the sunflower seeds cost $1 per pound, and the chocolate-covered peanuts cost $1.50 per pound. The mixture calls for twice as many raisins as sunflower seeds. The total cost of the mixture is $11.50. Write a system of equations for the situation and solve for the amount of each item in the trail mix.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The mass of sunflower seeds in the mixture is 1-pound

The mass of chocolate-covered peanuts in the mixture is 3-pounds

The mass of raisins in the mixture is 2-pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The cost per pound of raisins = $3

The cost per pound of sunflower seeds = $1

The cost per pound of chocolate-covered peanuts = $1.50

The mass of raisings in the mixture = 2 × The mass of sunflower seeds in the mixture

The total cost of the mixture = $11.50

The mass of the mixture = 6-pounds

Let x represent the mass of sunflower seeds in the mixture, and y represents the mass of chocolate-covered peanuts in the mixture, we have;

The mass of raisins in the mixture = 2 × x

The system of equation are;

2·x + x + y = 6...(1)

2·x × 3 + x × 1 + y × 1.5 = 11.50...(2)

Simplifying the above two equations give;

For equation (1), we have;

3·x + y = 6...(1)

For equation (2), we have;

7·x + 1.5·y = 11.50...(2)

Making y the subject of both formulas, gives;

For equation (1), we have;

y = 6 - 3·x

For equation (2), we have;

y = 11.50/1.5 - 7/1.5·x

Equating both equations of y, to find the common solution as follows;

6 - 3·x = 11.50/1.5 - 7/1.5·x

7/1.5·x  - 3·x = 11.50/1.5 - 6

14/3·x  - 3·x = 23/3 - 6

5/3·x = 5/3

x = 3/5 × 5/3 = 1

x = 1

The mass of sunflower seeds in the mixture = x = 1-pound

y = 6 - 3·x =  6 - 3 × 1 = 3

y = 3

-The mass of chocolate-covered peanuts in the mixture = y = 3-pounds

The mass of raisins in the mixture = 2 × x = 2 × 1 = 2-pounds.

The diagram shows a triangle.
y+12°
2y–18°
2y+16°
What is the value of y?
y =

Answers

Answer:

34°

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm a little confused by your question. But I solved the question this way.

y+12+2y-18+2y+16=180

Why 180° you ask? Because the angle sum interior of a triangle always measures 180°.

(y+2y+2y)+(12+−18+16)=180

5y+10=180

Subtract

5y+10−10=180−10

5y=170

The no. Of adel beads to that of claire's beads was the ratio 7 :4 .When adel gave 68 beads to claire the ratio become 25 :41 . How many beads did claire did claire have finally

Answers

Answer:

37 beads

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Adel : Claire = 7 : 4

Let Adel be = A;  &

Let Claire be = C

A: C = 7 : 4

[tex]\dfrac{A}{C} =\dfrac{7}{4}[/tex]

7C = 4A

[tex]C = \dfrac{4A}{7}[/tex] --- (1)

When Adel gave 68 beads to claire, we have:

C + 68 = 25:41

[tex]\dfrac{A}{C+68}= \dfrac{25}{41}[/tex]

25(C + 68) = 41A

C + 68 = [tex]\dfrac{41}{25}A[/tex]

[tex]C = \dfrac{41}{25}A - 68[/tex] --- (2)

Equating (1) and (2) together;

[tex]\dfrac{4 * A}{7} = \dfrac{41 *A}{25} - 68[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{4 * A}{7}-\dfrac{41 *A}{25} = - 68[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{100A - 287 A}{175} =- 68[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{-187A}{175} = -68[/tex]

- 187 A = 175 × (-68)

-187 A = - 11900

A = - 11900/ -187

A ≅ 64

From; [tex]C = \dfrac{4A}{7}[/tex]

[tex]C = \dfrac{4*64}{7}[/tex]

C = 36.57

C ≅ 37 beads

A family wants to purchase a house that costs ​$145,000. They plan to take out a ​$115,000 mortgage on the house and put ​$30,000 as a down payment. The bank informs them that with a​ 15-year mortgage their monthly payment would be ​$785.99 and with a​ 30-year mortgage their monthly payment would be ​$521.41. Determine the amount they would save on the cost of the house if they selected the​ 15-year mortgage rather than the​ 30-year mortgage. How much would they save if they selected the​ 15-year mortgage?

Answers

Answer:

A. 15-year mortgage =$141,478.20

30-year mortgage =$187,707.60

B. $46,229.40

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Calculation to Determine the amount they would save on the cost of the house if they selected the 15-year mortgage rather than the​ 30-year mortgage.

Calculation for 15-year mortgage

Cost amount to save for 15-year mortgage=$785.99*15-year*12 months

Cost amount to save for 15-year mortgage =$141,478.20

Calculation for 30-year mortgage

Cost amount to save for 30-year mortgage =$521.41*30-year*12 months

Cost amount to save for 30-year mortgage =$187,707.60

B. Calculation for How much would they save if they selected the​ 15-year mortgage

Using this formula

Amount to save=30-year mortgage -15-year mortgage

Let plug in the formula

Amount to save=$187,707.60-$141,478.20

Amount to save=$46,229.40

Therefore How much would they save if they selected the​ 15-year mortgage will be $46,229.40

A. The slope of Function W is less than the slope of Function Z.

B. The slope of Function W is greater than the slope of Function Z.

C. The slope of Function W is equal to the slope of Function Z.

D. The y-intercept of Function W is less than the y-intercept of Function Z.

E. The y-intercept of Function W is equal to the y-intercept of Function Z.

F. The y-intercept of Function W is greater than the y-intercept of Function Z.

Answers

*the graph of Function W and table of values of Function Z are in the diagram attached below.

Answer:

B. The slope of Function W is greater than the slope of Function Z.

F. The y-intercept of Function W is greater than the y-intercept of Function Z.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which of the statements compare both functions correctly, let's find the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b) of each function given.

✍️Function W:

Slope of Function B, using two points on the line, (0, -1) and (2, 0):

[tex] m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{0 -(-1)}{2 - 0} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 [/tex]

✅Slope = 0.5.

y-intercept is the point at which the line intercepts the y-axis. Therefore, the y-intercept, b = -1. The line cuts the y-axis at y = -1. At this point, x = 0.

✅y-intercept = -1.

✍️Function Z:

Slope of Function Z, using two pairs of values from the table of values for function Z, (0, -2) and (2, -1.5):

[tex] m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-1.5 -(-2)}{2 - 0} = \frac{0.5}{2} = 0.25 [/tex]

✅Slope = 0.25.

y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0. It is at this point the line of the function of X intercepts the y-axis. From the table given, we can see that when x = 0, y = -2. Therefore:

✅y-intercept = -2.

Thus, the following statements that compares both functions are TRUE:

B. The slope of Function W is greater than the slope of Function Z.

✔️This is TRUE because 0.5 is greater than 0.25.

F. The y-intercept of Function W is greater than the y-intercept of Function Z.

✔️This is TRUE because -1 is greater than -2.

14. A satellite orbits 22, 300 miles above the equator. It completes one revolution in 24 hours. Assume that the radius of the Earth is 3, 960 miles. How far will the satellite travel in one day?​

Answers

Answer:

Displacement = 0 mi

Distance = 164,996.45 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, the displacement will be zero because the satellite goes back to its starting point after one day. If there is no distance traveled between the starting point and the ending point, then the Displacement will be zero.

When it comes to the distance, we will need to calculate the perimeter of the circle the satellite describes when making one whole turn around the earth.

The perimeter of a circle is given by the equation:

[tex]p=2\pi r[/tex]

so we need to start by finding what the radius of the circle is. This radius if found by adding the radius of the earth and the distance above the equation the satellite is located at, so we get that:

[tex]r=r_{earth}+h[/tex]

where h is the height of the satellite, so the radius of the circle is:

[tex]r=22,300mi + 3,960 mi[/tex]

so

r=26,260 mi

so now we can use the perimeter equation to get:

[tex]p=2\pi r[/tex]

[tex]p=2\pi (26,260)[/tex]

So the distance traveled by the satellite in one day will be:

P=164,996.45 mi.

Researchers wanted to assess the effect of low alcohol consumption on reaction time in​ seniors, believing that even low levels of alcohol consumption can impair the ability to​ walk, thereby increasing the likelihood of falling. They identified 13 healthy seniors who were not heavy consumers of alcohol. The experiment took place in late afternoon. Each subject was instructed to have a light lunch and to not drink any caffeinated drinks in the 4 hours prior to arriving at the lab. The seniors were instructed to walk on a treadmill on which an obstacle would appear randomly. The reaction time was measured by determining the time it took the senior to lift his or her foot upon the appearance of the obstacle.​ First, each senior walked the treadmill after consuming a drink consisting of water mixed with orange juice with the scent and taste of vodka. The senior was then asked to drink two additional drinks​ (40% vodka mixed with orange​ juice). The senior then walked on the treadmill again. The average response time increased by 19 milliseconds after the alcohol treatment. The researchers concluded that response times are significantly delayed even for low levels of alcohol consumption.
A) What type of experimental design is this?
B) What is the response variable in this experiment? Is it quantitative or qualitative?
C) What is the treatment?
D) What factors were controlled and set at a fixed level in this experiment?
E) Can you think of any factors that may affect reaction to alcohol that were not cont rolled?
F) Why do you think the researchers used a drink that had the scent and taste of vodka to serve as the treatment for a baseline measure?
G) What was the conclusion of the study? To whom does this conclusion apply?

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The matched pair experimental design was used here. In this type of design, the experimental units are paired up . Different individuals receive different treatments. A popular type of matched-pairs design is this; a response variable's effect on an experimental unit is measured before and after a treatment is applied.

Reaction time is the response variable here . It is quantitative because it can be counted or measured.

The treatment was water mixed with orange juice with the scent and taste of vodka and subsequently 40% vodka mixed with orange juice.

Food consumption and intake of caffeinated drinks were controlled and set at a fixed level in this experiment.

Age ,gender and weight may also affect the reaction of the seniors to alcohol .

This treatment served the purpose of a placebo thereby working as a control that helps us to establish a baseline treatment that can be used to compare with the results of other treatments .

The research conclusion is that response times are significantly delayed even for low levels of alcohol consumption in seniors .This conclusion can only be applied to healthy seniors that consume a low level of alcohol.

1. Find C (0.7) and explain what it means in this situation.

Answers

Answer:

Value of C(0.7) = 24 means that the cost of 0.7 gigabytes of data is $24

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told the monthly cost of the 2 gigabyte monthly allowance for data is;

C(x) = 30x + 3

where x is the gigabytes of data used over the monthly allowance

Now, we want to find C(0.7)

C(0.7) = 30(0.7) + 3

C(0.7) = 21 + 3

C(0.7) = 24

This value of C(0.7) = 24 means that the cost of 0.7 gigabytes is $24
