Joseph and Wendy were catching tadpoles. At first Wendy caught nine times three more than Joseph caught. Joseph was upset and released half of Wendy ’s tadpoles, and then six times as many as Joseph caught swam away. After all of this, Wendy only had three tadpoles left. How many tadpoles did Joseph catch?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: translate the given word problem into solvable algebraic equation.

Let "t" represent the number of tadpoles Joseph caught.

"Wendy caught nine times three more than Joseph caught" can be expressed as 9(t + 3)

Number of Wendy's tadpole = [tex] 9(t + 3) [/tex]

Given that half of Wendy's tadpole and also 6 times Joseph's tadpoles swarm away leaving Wendy with only 3, the following equation can be written:

[tex] \frac{9(t + 3)}{2} - 6t = 3 [/tex]

Step 2: solve for t using the equation created.

[tex] \frac{9(t + 3)}{2} - 6t = 3 [/tex]

Add 6t to both sides

[tex] \frac{9(t + 3)}{2} - 6t + 6t = 3 + 6t [/tex]

[tex] \frac{9(t + 3)}{2} = 3 + 6t [/tex]

Multiply both sides by 2

[tex] \frac{9(t + 3)}{2}*2 = (3 + 6t)*2 [/tex]

[tex] 9(t + 3) = 2(3 + 6t) [/tex]

[tex] 9t + 27 = 6 + 12t [/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex] 9t - 12t = 6 - 27 [/tex]

[tex] -3t = -21 [/tex]

Divide both sides by -3

[tex] t = 7 [/tex]

Joseph caught 7 tadpoles

Anna takes 10 selfies every 12 minutes at this rate how many minutes for 25 selfie’s

Answers

Answer:

30 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can make a proportion, which would be 10 selfies : 12 minutes. The second one will be 25 selfies : x minutes.

They have to be equal, since it is given that the rate stays the same. So 10:12=25:x

A proportion can be written as a fraction, so 10/12=25/x.

Cross multiply, and you get 10*x=12*25, or 10x=300.

Now divide both sides by 10 to get x=30.

A landlord is considering upgrades and repairs, including wood floors, kitchen tile, a new back door, and a repaired garage door. The landlord could do these things himself or hire a contractor. The contractor could finish the job in half the time but would charge more. The landlord wants to leave the choice of whether to actually upgrade the kitchen tile up to the optimization algorithm. How should this constraint be written if he uses the following scheme for decision variables? x1 = contractor works on wood floors x2 = landlord works on wood floors x3 = contractor works on kitchen tile x4 = landlord works on kitchen tile x5 = contractor works on back door x6 = landlord works on back door x7 = contractor works on garage door x8 = landlord works on garage door Group of answer choices x3+ x4≤ 1 x3+ x4= 1 x3- x4= 1 x3- x4≤ 1

Answers

Answer:

x3 + x4 ≤ 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Upgrades considered = wood floors, Kitchen tile, New back door and a repaired garage

The constraint of whether to upgrade the kitchen either by the landlord or by  a contractor can be represented with the scheme below:

x3 + x4 ≤ 1

The constraint is written this way because  only one scheme can be used at a time i.e when x3 = 1 , x4 = 0 and vice versa. also

note that both x3 and x4 can be = 0.  because the upgrade of the kitchen tiles is under probability and the landlord might decide not to upgrade the kitchen tiles hence both schemes ( x3 and x4 ) can be = 0

2) Why is it that when you fill the venn diagram with the number of elements, you
always need to start from the intersection of all sets?

Answers

Answer:

This is because it is easier this way.

You avoid the problem of putting an element in one set and then realizing that the element also belongs to another set, then you must erase something in order to put the element in both sets. Starting with the intersection allows you to know where will be each set in the diagram, and in this way, the diagram should end up being more readable or "clean".

This may seem small, but being "clean" when doing math, will allow you to have an easier time dealing with a lot of problems. And also will be easier for other people when reading your equations and such.

10. According to a survey, about 58% of families sit down for a fumily dinner at least four times per week. You ask 5 randomly chosen families whether they have a family dinner at least four times per week.

a. Draw a histogram of the binomial distribution for the survey.
b. What is the most likely outcome of the survey?
c. What is the probability that at least 3 families have a family dinner four times per week?​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Use binomial probability:

P = nCr pʳ qⁿ⁻ʳ

where n is the number of trials,

r is the number of successes,

p is the probability of success,

and q is the probability of failure (1−p).

Given n = 5, p = 0.58, and q = 0.42.

P(0) = ₅C₀ (0.58)⁰ (0.42)⁵⁻⁰ = 0.013

P(1) = ₅C₁ (0.58)¹ (0.42)⁵⁻¹ = 0.090

P(2) = ₅C₂ (0.58)² (0.42)⁵⁻² = 0.249

P(3) = ₅C₃ (0.58)³ (0.42)⁵⁻³ = 0.344

P(4) = ₅C₄ (0.58)⁴ (0.42)⁵⁻⁴ = 0.238

P(5) = ₅C₅ (0.58)⁵ (0.42)⁵⁻⁵ = 0.066

The most likely result is 3 families.

The probability of at least 3 families is:

0.344 + 0.238 + 0.066 = 0.648

Mean of a given set of data = Sum of all observations ÷ Total number of observations

Mean of this data set = 88 + 82 + 97 + 76 + 79 + 92 + 65 + 84 + 79 + 90 + 75 + 82 + 78 + 77 + 93 + 88 + 95 + 73 + 69 89 + 93 + 78 + 60 + 95 + 88 + 72 + 80 + 94 + 88 + 74

Mean = 2729 ÷ 30

Mean = 82.4

Median = the middle observation in a given set of data

Median of these test scores = 60 , 65 , 69 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 , 78 , 79 , 79 , 80 , 82 , 82 , 84 , 88 , 88 , 88 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 92 , 93 , 93 , 94 , 95 , 95 , 97 .

Median = 82 + 82 / 2

= 164 ÷ 2

= 82

Median = 82

Mode = most frequently occurring number in a given set of data .

Mode of these test scores =

= 60 = 1 time

= 65 = 1 time

= 69 = 1 time

= 72 = 1 time

= 73 = 1 time

= 74 = 1 time

Mode = 88

Midrange = average of the largest and smallest number in a given set of data

Midrange of these test scores = 97 + 60 / 2

= 97 + 60 / 2

= 157 ÷ 2

agreed to pay back $13,250 in 270 days. What exact interest rate was
she paying? (Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.)

Answers

8.1% is the exact interest rate

The exact rate of interest is 8.11%.

What is rate of interest?

The amount that the lender charges the borrower over and beyond the principal amount is referred to as the interest rate. A person who deposits money in a bank or other financial institution also earns additional income in terms of the recipient, known as interest, taking into account the time value of money.

Given:

Arianna North borrowed $12,500

She agreed to pay back $13,250 in 270 days.

let x be the interest rate was she paying

x= 13250 - 12500

= 750

So, x= 750/ 12500 (270/ 365)

x% = 750/ 9,246.57

x% = 0.0811

x%= 8.11%

Hence, the exact rate of interest is 8.11%.
