Quick please!!! Buford, the farm hand, is preparing feed for
the animals. He wants to mix the contents of a
bag containing 50% corn with one containing
90% corn to optain a 30-pound bag containing
80% corn. How many pounds of the 50% bag
should he use? (write your answer as a
decimal.)

Answers

Answer 1

Buford should use 7.5 pounds of the 50% corn bag.

How do we solve a system of linear equations from word problems?

A system of linear equation is an equation containing two different equations with variables and the coefficient.

From the given information, let:

The weight of the bag containing 50% corn be = xThe weight of the bag containing 90% corn be = y

Sp, we can a system of a linear equation that says:

x + y = 30

0.5x + 0.9y = 0.8(30)

Using elimination method

x + y = 30

-

x - 1.8y = -48

0 - 0.8y = -18

y = 18/0.8

y = 22.5

From x + y = 30

x = 30 - 22.5

x = 7.5

Therefore, we can conclude that he should use 7.5 pounds of the 50% corn bag.

The value of f(–10) = 82
The graph of the function is a parabola.
The graph of the function opens down.
The graph contains the point (20, –8).
The graph contains the point (0, 0).

Answers

Answer:

I will assume the equation is supposed to be f(x) = x^2 – 5x + 12 since it is said to be a quadratic equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

See attached graph.

The value of f(–10) = 82     False

      f(-10) = (-10)^2 - 5*(-10) + 12

       f(-10) = (100) +50 + 12

      f(-10) = 162

The graph of the function is a parabola.  True

The graph of the function opens down.   False

The graph contains the point (20, –8).      False

The graph contains the point (0, 0).          False

[tex]\boxed{\bf f(x)=4\cdot \left(\cfrac{7}{4}\right)^x}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In exponential form, a* b^x,

Where, "a" is value of the function when x=0 and "b" is the constant ratio of f(x) for consecutive for integer values of x.

Y-intercept : (0, 4) so, a = 4.

The graph also passes through (1,7), because 0 and 1 are consecutive integer x-values.

[tex]\bf b=\cfrac{7}{4}[/tex]

So therefore, the equation for f(x) is :-

In a grop of 25 student 6 study art & biology 10 study biology but not art 3 study neither subject given that a randomly selected study art what is the probability the student study art & biology

Answers

½ 0r 50% is the probability that the student studies Art and biology.

What is Probability?

Probability is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event . i.e. Probability  means possibility.

According to the question,

Total number of students in the group;

n = 25 students

No. of students that study both art and biology;

n(P u Q) = 6

No. of students that study biology but not art;

n(Q u P') = 10

No. of students that study none of the 3 subjects;

n(P' u Q') = 3

So,

No. of students that study only arts is;

n(P n Q') = 25 - 6 - 10 - 3 = 6

Since,  n(P u Q) = 6

Therefore by using formula;

n(P) = n(P u Q) + n(P n Q')

n(P) = 6 + 6

n(P) = 12

Hence,

Probability of the students who studies Art and biology is;

P(P n Q) = [tex]\frac{6}{12}[/tex]

P(P n Q) = ½  i.e. 50%

The probability the student study art & biology ½  i.e. 50%.

How to Interpret the Equation of a Circle?

We know that the general form of equation of the circle is given by;

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where;

(h, k) is the coordinate of the center

r is the radius

From the attached image, the radius is equal to the distance between the center and the point (-2,4).  Thus, r = 4 and so we have;

(x + 2)² + (y - 0)² = 4²

(x + 2)² + y² = 16

If the distance between the center and the point is equal to the radius of the circle , then the point lies on the circle and the formula to calculate the distance between two points is;

d = √[(y₂ - y₁)² + (x₂ - x₁)²]

At A(-2, 0) and B(1, √7), we have;

d = √[(√7 - 0)² + (1 - (-2))²]

d = 4 units

Therefore we can conclude that  the distance from (-2, 0) to (1, √7) is 4 units.

At 7:00 am Wesley complete his third shift if Wesley and two of his friends are driving cross country nonstop and have agreed to take turns driving in 7-hour shifts option (C) is correct.

What is an arithmetic operation?

It is defined as the operation in which we do the addition of numbers, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It has a basic four operators that is +, -, ×, and ÷.

We have:

Wesley and two of his friends are driving cross country nonstop and have agreed to take driving in 7-hour shifts.

Wesley’s first shift starts at 6:00 am

6:00 am = 6h 0m

= 6 + 7

= 13 h = 1:00 PM (Wesley's starts to rest)

Wesley will take a rest for 14 hours (7 + 7)

First shift = 7 + 14 = 21

Second shift = 7 + 14 = 21

Third shift = 7 = 7

= 21 + 21 + 7 = 49

= 49/24 = 2 days + 1 hour

6h + 1h = 7h = 7:00 am

Thus, at 7:00 am Wesley complete his third shift if Wesley and two of his friends are driving cross country nonstop and have agreed to take turns driving in 7-hour shifts option (C) is correct.

Linda purchased a birthday gift from Bed Bath and Beyond for her mother. After applying the
coupon below Linda received a $12.25 discount off her purchase. What was the price of the
gift before and after the discount?

PLS HELP SOLVE !!!

Answers

Answer:

Before discount = $61.25

After discount = $49.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Discount = $12.25Coupon = 20%

The price of the gift before the discount is 100%.

If the $12.25 discount was 20% of the purchase price, then:

⇒ original price (before discount) = (12.25 / 20) × 100 = $61.25

To find the price after the discount, simply subtract the discount from the found original price:

⇒ $61.25 - $12.25 = $49.00

Conclusion

Before discount price = $61.25After discount price = $49.00

On a map of scale 1:20000 the area of a forest is 50cm^2.On another map the area of the forest is 8cm^2.Find the scale of the second map.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 1: 50000... If you look down here↓:

Step-by-step explanation:

With a scale of 1:20000, a unit length on the map represents a length of 20000. So 1 cm^2 = 1 cm* 1 cm which represents 20000*20000 cm^2 will be = 4*10^8 cm^2.

50 cm^2 represents that 4*50*10^8 cm^2 = 200* 10^8 cm^2.

Now, on the other hand, the map has the same. 200* 10^8 is represented by 8 cm^2. So the scale is sqrt [ 200* 10^8 / 8 ] = sqrt [ 25* 10^8 ] = 5* 10^4 = 50000.

Therefore the scale on the second map is 1: 50000.
