They know there will also be guests stopping by who may have come from other parties. For ordering​ purposes, they will count each of these​ "drop-in" guests as half a guest. How much of each food item should Nathan and Sydney order for a graduation party with 15 ​drop-in guests?table: fried chicken =28 meats =4 1/3 lasangnia = 10 3/4

Answers

Answer 1

For the graduation party, Nathan and Sydney should order  pieces of 70 fried chicken ,  11 pounds of meats  and 36 pounds of lasangnia .

In the question ,

it is given that

there are 15 drop in guests , and drop in guests are counted as half a guest .

So , the number of half guests = 15/2 = 7.5

number of guests for the party = 40 guests

So , total number of guests = 40+7.5 = 47.5

From the table , we can see that

19 party guests need 28 pieces of fried chicken .

So , 1 party guests will need 28/19 pieces of fried chicken .

so, 47.5 guests will need [tex]47.5*\frac{28}{19}[/tex] pieces of fried chicken

[tex]47.5*\frac{28}{19}[/tex] = 70

hence , 70 pieces of fried chicken is needed .

From the table , we can see that

19 party guests need [tex]4\frac{1}{3}[/tex] = 13/3 pounds of meats  .

so, 1 party guests will need 13/(3*19) pounds of meats .

So, 47.5 guests will need [tex]47.5*\frac{13}{3*19}[/tex] pounds of meats .

[tex]47.5*\frac{13}{3*19}[/tex] = 10.833

≈ 11

hence , 11 pounds of meats is needed .

From the table , we can see that

19 party guests need [tex]10\frac{3}{4}[/tex] = 43/3 pounds of lasangnia .

So , 1 party guests will need 43/(3*19) pounds of lasangnia .

So, 47.5 guests will need [tex]47.5*\frac{43}{3*19}[/tex] pounds of lasangnia .

[tex]47.5*\frac{43}{3*19}[/tex] = 35.8333

≈ 36

hence , 36 pounds of lasangnia is needed .

Therefore , For the graduation party Nathan and Sydney should order 70 pieces of fried chicken , 11 pounds of meats  and 36 pounds of lasangnia .

Step 1

the first transformation is the function multiplied by a constant ( 1/2)

If the function is multiplied by a value less than one, all the values of the equation will decrease, leading to a “shrunken” appearance in the vertical direction

so

A basket contains 12 black marbles and 8 blue marbles. What is the probability Josiah will
select a blue marble, replace it, and then a black marble? Express your answer as a percent.

Answers

Answer:

24%

=====================

Given

Black marbles = 12,Blue marbles = 8.

Solution

Total number of marbles:

12 + 8 = 20

Probability of selecting a blue marble:

P(blue) = number of blue / total = 8/20 = 2/5

Probability of  selecting a black marble after replacing the blue:

P(black) = number of black / total = 12/20 = 3/5

Probability of selecting blue and black marbles in same order with replacement:

P(blue, then black) = 2/5*3/5 = 6/25 = 24/100 = 24%

Answers

The absolute change in the population was 59 million. The relative change in the population was 23.69%

The absolute population change is the magnitude of the increase or decrease in population for a defined period.

What is absolute change ?

Absolute change describes the straightforward difference between the indicator over two time periods. The indicator's value in the earlier period is used to calculate the relative change, which expresses the absolute change as a percentage.

Small numbers can make relative changes appear more significant than they actually are. This is true because a minor change in the number's absolute value can generate a significant change in the percentage.

Big numbers may make relative changes appear less significant. This is so that any change in the number that represents a substantial relative change may be seen.

The relative change can be minor even when the absolute change is significant if it is a change on a larger number.

Absolute change = Final value – Initial value

                            = 308m- 249m = 59m

The absolute change in the population was 59 million

Relative change Formula = (Final value – Initial value) / Initial value * 100%

                                         =  308m- 249m/ 249*100 = 23.69%

Whats the Point-Slope Equation for the line that goes through
(-3, 5) and (-7, 4)

Answers

Answer is y = 1/4x + 5 3/4

Step by step

The point slope formula is y − y1 = m (x − x1 )

First we need to find “m” or slope

Slope formula is (y2 - y1) over (x2 - x1)

4-5 over -7 - -3

-1 over -4 or 1/4

Now for point slope formula using (-3, 5)

y - 5 = 1/4 (x + 3) (x - -3 is same as x + 3)

Distribute

y -5 = 1/4x + 3/4

add 5 to both sides to solve for y

y -5 +5 = 1/4x + 3/4 + 5

Justin works in a department store selling clothing. He makes a guaranteed salary of $450 per week, but is paid a commision on top of his base salary equal to 30% of his total sales for the week. How much would Justin make in a week in which he made $2425 in sales? How much would Justin make in a week if he made x dollars in

Answers

We can convert that 30% into a decimal, as: 0.3 (That's 30/100)

Now, we can multiply this 0.3 by any quantity that we want to calculate 30% from.

For example, let's take Justin's commission:

[tex]2425\cdot0.3=727.5[/tex]

Adding this to his base salary,

[tex]450+727.5=1177.5[/tex]

What are binomials?

Generally, A binomial is a kind of polynomial that is used in algebra and is defined as the sum of two terms, each of which is a monomial.

After monomials, this is the sort of sparse polynomial that is the easiest to understand.

The word "binomial" refers to an algebraic expression that consists of just two different terms. This is a polynomial with two terms.

The average selling price of each bicyeIs $120How many bicycles must the store sell each month 1o break even?Write a system of equations to represent the situation, then solve*Show both the equations and the solution

Answers

Answer:

The system of equations is:

• C(x)=2400+60x

,

• R(x)=120x

The number of bicycles to break even = 40

Explanation:

Let the number of bikes sold = x

• The operating cost of the store per month = $2400

,

• Cost Price Per bike = $60

Thus, the total monthly cost for the store:

[tex]C(x)=2400+60x[/tex]

Next, the average selling price of each bicycle is $120, therefore, the monthly revenue of the store:

[tex]R(x)=120x[/tex]

The store breaks even when the cost equals its revenue.

[tex]\begin{gathered} R(x)=C(x) \\ 120x=2400+60x \end{gathered}[/tex]

We then solve for x:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Subtract 60x from both sides of the equation} \\ 120x-60x=60x-60x+2400 \\ 60x=2400 \\ \text{ Divide both sides of the equation by 60} \\ \frac{60x}{60}=\frac{2400}{60} \\ x=40 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The store must sell 40 bicycles in order to break even.

The average number of shoppers at a particular grocery store in one day is 505, and the standard deviation is 115. The number of shoppers is normally distributed.

Answers

For a random day with the standard deviation, the probability that there are less than 200 shoppers on a random day, is 0.0039.

The average total number of shoppers on a  grocery store in 1 day is 506; the standard deviation is 115.

The number of shoppers is normally distributed.

Let, X be the random variable denoting the number of shoppers on a random day.

Then, X follows normal with mean 506 and standard deviation of 115.

Then, we can say that,

Z=(X-506)/115 follows standard normal with mean 0 and standard deviation of 1.

We have to find

P(X<200)

[tex]=P(Z < \frac{200-506}{115})[/tex]

=P(Z<-2.66)

Where, Z is the standard normal variate.

ρ = -0.266

Where, ρ is the distribution function of the standard normal variate.

From the standard normal table, this becomes

=0.0039

What is a reflection across the x-axis?

In Mathematics, a reflection across the x-axis would maintain the same x-coordinate while the sign of the y-coordinate changes from positive to negative. Therefore, a reflection across the x-axis is given by this transformation rule:

(x, y) → (x, -y) = (3, 1) → (3, -1).

(x, y) → (x, -y) = (4, 0) → (4, 0).

(x, y) → (x, -y) = (3, -1) → (3, 1).

(x, y) → (x, -y) = (4, -2) → (4, 2).

(x, y) → (x, -y) = (2, -4) → (2, 4).

(x, y) → (x, -y) = (0, -2) → (0, 2).

In conclusion, a reflection across the x-axis would transform the geometric figure to that shown in the graph attached in the image below.

Let 'α' be the number of questions he answered wrong, then the number of questions answered correctly by him, will be = (30 - α)

Then we have,

Total marks obtained = (correct answers x 10 marks ) - (wrong answers x 5 marks )

Angle 2 and angle of 34° are vertical angles, then they are congruent, that is,

[tex]m\angle2=34\degree[/tex]

Angle 6 and angle of 34° are corresponding angles, then they are congruent, that is,

[tex]m\angle6=34\degree[/tex]

Angle 4 and angle of 34° are alternate interior angles, then they are congruent, that is,

[tex]m\angle4=34\degree[/tex]

Angle 7 and angle of 34° are same-side interior angles, then they are supplementary, that is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} m\angle7+34\degree=180\degree \\ m\angle7=180\degree-34\degree \\ m\angle7=146\degree \end{gathered}[/tex]

Angles 4 and 3 are same-side interior angles, then they are supplementary, that is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} m\angle4+m\angle3=180\degree \\ 34\degree+m\angle3=180\degree \\ m\angle3=180\degree-34\degree \\ m\angle3=146\degree \end{gathered}[/tex]

Angles 7 and 5 are vertical angles, then they are congruent, that is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} m\angle5=m\angle7 \\ m\angle5=146\degree \end{gathered}[/tex]

Angles 1 and 3 are vertical angles, then they are congruent, that is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} m\angle1=m\angle3 \\ m\angle1=146\degree \end{gathered}[/tex]

two cyclists, 42 miles apart, start riding toward each other at the same time. one cycles 2 times as fast as the other. if they meet 2 hours later, what is the speed (in mi/h) of the faster cyclist?

Answers

The speed of the faster cyclist is 14\ miles/hr.

What is speed?

It is the average distance coverd in unit time. It is also defined as the rate of change of distance with respect to time.

Since the speed of the first cyclist is double than the second cyclist hence, the first cyclist will cover the double distance than the second cyclist. Consider the first cyclist covers 2s distance and first cyclist covers s distance. The sum of these two distances should be 42 miles. Hence,

[tex]2s+s=42\\3s=42\\s=14[/tex]

Now, distance coverd by the first cyclist is [tex]2s=2\times 14\\=28 \ $miles[/tex].

Now, both the cyclists meet after 2 hr hence, time taken by the first cyclist is 2 hr.

[tex]Speed=\frac{Total\ distance}{Total\ time}\\=28\ miles/2 \ hr\\=14\ miles/hr[/tex]

Hence, the speed of the faster cyclist is 14\ miles/hr.

Solve for x. 23r + 2 = 156 + 481 + 6 A. x = 1/12 B. x = -2/5C. x = -1/10 D. x = -12/5

Answers

C) x= -1/10

1) Evaluating the following expression

23x+2= 15x + 48x + 6 Add the like terms

23x +2 = 63x +6 Subtract 63x and 2 from both sides

23x -63x = 6 -2

-40x =4 Divide both sides by -40

x = -4/40 Simplify it by 4

x= -1/10

2) Hence, the answer is x= -1/10
