Suppose you work for a large coffee distributor that has a secret coffee blend it sells to local stores. You
mix the Tanzanian blend with the Queen City blend, but always in the same proportion. Yesterday, you
mixed 40 pounds of the Tanzanian blend with 8 pounds of the Queen City blend. Today, there is 20 pounds
of the Tanzanian coffee left in stock. How many pounds of the Queen City coffee should you mix with it to
get your secret blend?

Answers

Answer 1

Quantity of Tanzanian blend used in my secret coffee blend = 40 pounds

Quantity of Queen city blend used in my secret coffee blend = 8 pounds

The ratio of Tanzanian blend to Queen city blend in my coffee blend = 40 : 8

Quantity of Tanzanian blend with me = 20 pounds

Quantity of Queen city bend needed to make my secret coffee blend =

Let the quantity of Queen city blend I will need be x .

[tex] \frac{40}{8} = \frac{20}{x} [/tex]

[tex]8 \times 20 = 40 \times x[/tex]

[tex]160 = 40x[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{160}{40} [/tex]

[tex]x = 4[/tex]

Therefore , I need to mix 4 pounds of queen city blend with my 20 pounds of Tanzanian blend to get my secret coffee blend .

Answer 2

4 pounds of  the Queen City coffee should you mix with it to get your secret blend.

What is Ratio?

A ratio is an ordered pair of numbers a and b, written a / b where b does not equal 0.

Given that,

Yesterday If we mixed 40 pounds of the Tanzanian blend with 8 pounds of the Queen City blend.

In the same proportion, today there is 20 pounds of the Tanzanian coffee left in stock.

We need to calculate how many pounds of the Queen City coffee should you mix with it to get your secret blend.

Let x be the pounds of the Queen City coffee should you mix with it

Let us form a equation

40/8=20/x

Apply cross multiplication

40x=160

Divide both sides by 40

x=4

Hence 4 pounds of  the Queen City coffee should you mix with it to

get your secret blend.

The 8th and 20th terms of an arithmetic sequence are 20 and 56 respectively. ​What is the 1st term of the sequence.

Answers

Answer:

            a₁ = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]a_n=a_1+d(n-1)\\\\a_8=a_1+d\cdot7\\\\a_{20}=a_1+d\cdot19\\\\a_{20}-a_8=a_1+19d-(a_1+7d)=12d\\\\56-20=2d\\\\12d=36\\\\d=3\\\\\\ a_1+3\cdot7=20\\\\a_1=20-21=-1[/tex]

If the 8th and 20th terms of an arithmetic sequence are 20 and 56 respectively, then the 1st term of the sequence is -1

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by the formula:

[tex]a_n=a+(n-1)d[/tex]

The 8th term of the arithmetic sequence is 20

[tex]a_8 = 20\\\\a_8=a+(8-1)d\\\\a+7d=20.......................(1)[/tex]

The 20th term of the arithmetic sequence is 56

[tex]a_{20} = 56\\\\a_{20}=a+(20-1)56\\\\a+19d=56.......................(2)[/tex]

Subtract equation (1) from equation (2)

12d  =  36

d  =  36/12

d  =  3

Substitute d = 3 into equation (1)

a  +  7d  =  20

a  +  7(3)  =  20

a  +  21  =  20

a   =  20  -  21

a  =  -1

The first term of the arithmetic sequence is -1

Answer:

a

   [tex]P(X <  24 )=  21.186\%  [/tex]  

b

    [tex]x =  19.78 \  months[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

 The mean is   [tex]\mu  =  26 \  months[/tex]

 The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma  =  4 \  months[/tex]

 Generally 2 year is  equal to  24 months

Generally the percentage of total production will the company expect to replace is mathematically represented as

      [tex]P(X <  24 )=  P(\frac{X - \mu }{ \sigma} <  \frac{24 - 26}{4}  )[/tex]

Generally  [tex]\frac{X - \mu}{\sigma } =Z (The  \ standardized \  value  \  of  \  X )[/tex]

     [tex]P(X <  24 )=  P(Z <  -0.8  )[/tex]

Generally from the z-table  

       [tex]P(Z <  -0.8) =  0.21186[/tex]

So

       [tex]P(X <  24 )=  0.21186[/tex]

Converting to percentage

      [tex]P(X <  24 )=  0.21186  * 100[/tex]

=>    [tex]P(X <  24 )=  21.186\%  [/tex]  

Generally the duration that should be the guarantee period if  Accrotime does not want to make refunds on more than 6% is mathematically evaluated as

    [tex]P(X <  x) =  P(\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma}  < \frac{x - 26}{4} )= 0.06[/tex]

=> [tex]P(X <  x) =  P(Z < \frac{x - 26}{4} )= 0.06[/tex]

From the normal distribution table the z-score for  0.06 at the lower tail  is

       [tex]z = -1.555[/tex]

So

    [tex]\frac{x - 26}{4} = -1.555[/tex]

=> [tex]x =  19.78 \  months[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

6.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The image attached is a representation of the question. to the river hence the distance between the place where she landed and the rock where she was standing must be horizontal. We are now required to find the shortest vertical distance between the point where the rope was tied and the place where she wants to land.

About 12 weeks ago, there were 21 mold spores found in a garden. After a few weeks of observation, it is determined that the number of mold spores in the garden is tripling every 6 weeks. The number of mold spores, M, at any given time in the garden is equal to the product of the initial amount of spores, I, and 3 to the power of n, where n is the number of times the amount of mold spores has tripled. How many mold spores are in the garden today?

Answers

Answer:

189 spores

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of mold spores triple every 6 weeks. So in 12 weeks, it has tripled twice.

Given that:

M = I x [tex]3^{n}[/tex]

where M is the number of mold spore, I is the initial amount of spores, and n is the number of times the amount of mold spores has tripled.

Since, I = 21 and n = 2, we have;

M = 21 x [tex]3^{2}[/tex]

   = 21 x 9

   = 189

There would be 189 spores in the garden today.

We know that x=9, so where ever we see x we know it is 9. We also know that y=10, so where ever we see y we know it is 10. So then we just replace the variables with our numbers then just add them.  That is I got 9+10+10=29
