7. A distribution centre sends three different types of parcels. One consignment has 6 small, 8 medium and 9 large parcels which cost $173. 20 to post. Another consignment has 7 small, 13 medium and 17 large parcels with total postage $291. 5. A large parcel costs twice as much to post as a small one. Work out the total cost of posting 3 small parcels, 9 medium parcels and 2 large parcels

Answers

Answer 1

Cost of posting 3 small, 9 medium and 2 large parcels = $94.45

Let the cost of a small parcel be x

Let the cost of a medium parcel be y

Let the cost of a large parcel be z

Cost of 6 small, 8 medium and 9 large parcels:

6x + 8y + 9z = 173.20------(1)

Cost of 7 small, 13 medium and 17 large parcels:

7x + 13y + 17z = 291.5-------(2)

Also, a large parcel costs twice as much as a small parcel, therefore

z = 2x

Substituting z = 2x in equation (1) and (2) we get:

24x + 8y = 173.20------(3)

41x + 13y = 291.5--------(4)

Multiplying equation (3) with 13 and equation (4) with 8 we get

312x + 104y = 2251.6

328x + 104y = 2332

By solving the equations we get

16x = 80.4

x = 5.02

Putting x = 5.02 in equation (3) we get:

y = 6.59

z = 10.04

Cost of posting 3 small, 9 medium and 2 large parcels: 3*5.02 + 9*6.59 + 2*10.04 = 15.06 + 59.31 + 20.08 = $94.45

b. Find the change in temperature if the temperature rises from -18°F to 15°F.

Answers

The change in temperature is 33°F.

According to the question we have been given that there are two temperature readings which are, -18°F and 15°F.

We need to find the change in temperature that is we need to find the difference. And for that we will use distance formula.

The formula to find the distance between the two numbers p and q is

                                    = |p-q|

Here , p = -18°F  and q = 15°F

Putting the required values in the above formula we get

                     = |-18 - 15| °F

                     = |-33| °F

                     = 33°F

Hence the change in temperature is 33°F.

Answers

The difference of depths between them, and which trench is deeper is (a) 2 km, and the Mariana Trench is deeper

What is the difference of depths between them, and which trench is deeper?

The given parameters are:

Mariana Trench = 11 km

Japan Trench = 9 km

The Mariana Trench is deeper because 11 is greater than 9

The difference between the depth is

Difference = 11 km - 9 km

Difference = 2 km

Hence, the difference of depths between them, and which trench is deeper is (a) 2 km, and the Mariana Trench is deeper

A minor league baseball team plays 94 games in a season. if the team won 16 more than twice as many games as they lost, how many wins and losses did the team have?

Answers

The number of wins is 68 ad losses is 26.

How to compute the value?

Let the number of losses = l

Therefore, the number of wins will be: = (2 × l) + 16 = 2l + 16

Total games = 94

Therefore we will add the equation

l + 16 + 2l = 94

3l + 16 = 94

3l = 94 - 16

3l = 78

Divide

l = 78/3

l = 26

Losses = 26

Number if wins = 2l + 16 = 2(26) + 16 = 52 + 16 = 68

What is a composite function?

When the output of one function is given to the input of another function they are called composite functions.

In (fog)x which is [f{g(x)}] here the out of the function g(x) is the input of the function f(x).

Given, Are two functions f(c) = 3c - 8 and g(c) = √14 - c.

What is histogram?

The distribution of numerical data is roughly shown by a histogram. Karl Pearson is credited with coining the phrase. The first stage in creating a histogram is to "bin" (or "bucket") the range of values, or split it into a series of intervals, and then count how many values fall into each interval. The bins are often defined as a series of discrete intervals that don't overlap. Histograms provide a general idea of the density of the underlying distribution of the data, and are frequently used for density estimation: estimating the probability density function of the underlying variable. The bins (intervals) must be adjacent and are frequently (but not always) of equal size.

Answers

The new depth of the orange juice is now 4cm

Calculating Volume

From the question, we are to calculate the depth of the orange juice after Jane turns the carton

First, we will determine the volume of orange juice in the carton.

The volume of orange juice in the carton = 10 cm × 6 cm × 8cm

Volume of orange juice in the carton = 480 cm³

Now, we will determine the depth of the orange juice when the carton stands on the shaded face

If carton stands on the shaded face,

The length becomes 20 cm

and

The width becomes 6 cm

Let the new depth of the orange juice be h

Then,

We can write that

480 = 20 × 6 × h

480 = 120 × h

h = 480/120

h = 4 cm

Hence, the new depth of the orange juice is now 4cm
