Sven buying 3 1/3 pounds of wood. The wood costs 1.60 per pound. How much did Sven pay?
Answers
Answer:
$5.33
Step-by-step explanation:
If there are 3 1/3 lbs of wood and it's $1.60 per lb, then:
Turn the mixed number into an improper fraction first:
3 1/3 = 3/3 + 3/3 + 3/3 + 1/3
= 10/3
Then, turn 1.60 into an improper fraction too:
1.6 = 1 6/10
= 1 3/5
= 5/5 + 3/5
= 8/5
Then—letting x represent the number of lbs:
8/5x = 8/5 × 10/3
= (8 × 10)/(5 × 3)
= 80/15
= 16/3
To put this in dollar/decimal form, simplify:
16 ÷ 3 = 5.3333333 . . .
≈ $5.33

A bookshelf at a bookstore is 3 feet 9 inches wide. There are 18 copies of the same book on the shelf, which fit the shelf exactly. What is the width of 1 of the books?
Answers
Answer:
2.5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Shelf Width = 3ft 9in
Copies = 18
Required
Determine the width of each book
This is calculated by dividing the shelf width by the number of copies.
Width = Shelf Width ÷ Copies
Width = (3 ft 9in) ÷ (18)
[Convert with to inches]
Width = (3 * 12 + 9) ÷ (18)
Width = (36 + 9) ÷ (18)
Width = 45 ÷ 18
Width = 2.5 inches
Hence, the width of each book is 2.5inches

The theory that it is reasonable to chose the simpler theory when choosing between two competing theories of equal explanatory value is
Answers
Answer:
Occam’s razor theory.
Step-by-step explanation:
This theory is known as Occam’s razor theory.
It's a theory based on the principle whereby we give precedence to simplicity. It states that out of two competing theories, the one with the simpler explanation of an object should be embraced over the other. The reason is that the philosopher William of Ockham said that "objects are not meant to be multiplied beyond absolute necessity.”
This definition resonates with what is explained in the question.
Thus, the theory is as explained.

QUESTION 16
What is the value of m If the ratios 3:18 and m:42 are in
proportion?
Answers
Answer:
[tex]m = 7[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]3:18 = m:42[/tex]
Required
Solve for m
[tex]3:18 = m:42[/tex]
Convert to fraction
[tex]\frac{3}{18} = \frac{m}{42}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 42
[tex]42 * \frac{3}{18} = \frac{m}{42} * 42[/tex]
[tex]42 * \frac{3}{18} = m[/tex]
[tex]m = 42 * \frac{3}{18}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{42 * 3}{18}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{126}{18}[/tex]
[tex]m = 7[/tex]
What is the leading coefficient of a third degree polynomial function that has an output of 1,272 when x=2, and has zeros of −6, 7i, and −7i?
Answers
Answer:
The leading coefficient is 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Polynomials
Given the roots of a polynomial x1,x2,x3, it can be expressed as:
[tex]p(x)=a(x-x1)(x-x2)(x-x3)[/tex]
Where a is the leading coefficient.
We are given the roots x1=-6, x2=7i, x3=-7i, thus:
[tex]p(x)=a(x+6)(x-7i)(x+7i)[/tex]
Operating the product of the conjugated imaginary roots:
[tex]p(x)=a(x+6)(x^2+49)[/tex]
Knowing p(2)=1,272 we can find the value of a
[tex]p(2)=a(2+6)(4+49)=1,272[/tex]
Operating:
[tex]a(8)(53)=1,272[/tex]
[tex]424a=1,272[/tex]
Solving:
[tex]a=1,272/424[/tex]
a=3
The leading coefficient is 3

In a study by Peter D. Hart Research Associates for the Nasdaq Stock Market, it was
determined that 20% of all stock investors are retired people. In addition, 40% of all U.S. adults invest in mutual funds. Suppose a random sample of 25 stock investors is taken What is the probability that fewer than 4 are retired people
Answers
Answer:
a) 0.1108
(b) 0.0173
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that 20% of all stock investors are retired people. A random sample of 25 stock investors is taken.
Firstly, the binomial probability is given by;
where, n = number of trails(samples) taken = 25
r = number of successes
p = probability of success and success in our question is % of
retired people i.e. 20%.
Let X = Number of people retired
(a) Probability that exactly seven are retired people = P(X = 7)
P(X = 7) =
= = 0.1108
(b) Probability that 10 or more are retired people = P(X >= 10)
P(X >= 10) = 1 - P(X <= 9)
Now, using binomial probability table, we find that P(X <= 9) is 0.98266 at n = 25, p = 0.2 and x= 9
So, P(X >= 10) = 1 - 0.98266 = 0.0173.
Jill has not been able to maintain the $1,000 minimum balance required to avoid fees on her checking account. She wants to switch to a different account with a fee of $0.20 per check and a $12.50 monthly maintenance fee. Jill wants to estimate the fees for her new account. Below is a summary of the checks she has written from May to August. What is the mean number of checks Jill wrote per month during the last four months? Based on the mean, estimate how much Jill expects to pay in per-check fees each month after she switches to the new account. Estimate the total monthly fees Jill will pay each month for the new checking account.
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Kindly find attached a summary of the checks she has written from May to August.
A. What is the mean number of checks Jill wrote per month during the last four months
mean= (14+19+23+24)/4
mean= 80/4
mean= 20 checks
B. Based on the mean, estimate how much Jill expects to pay in per-check fees each month after she switches to the new account.
the expression for the total is given as
y=12.50+0.2x
y=12.50+0.2(20)
y=12.50+4
y=16.5
=$16.5
C. Estimate the total monthly fees Jill will pay each month for the new checking account.
May= 12.50+0.2(14)
May=12.5+2.8= 15.3
June= 12.50+0.2(19)
June=12.5+3.8= 16.3
July= 12.50+0.2(23)
July=12.5+4.6= 17.1
August= 12.50+0.2(24)
August=12.5+4.8= 17.3
total will be = 15.3+16.3+17.1+17.3= $66
A:20
B:$4.00
C:$16.50
A: 14+19+23+24/4 = 20
B: 20/.2 = 4

In a study using 50 foreign-language vocabulary words, the learning rate L (in words per minute) was found to depend on the number of words already learned, x, according to the equation L(x) = 20 – 0.4x

5. Is learning rate increasing or decreasing?
Answer:
1. (50,0)
2. (0,20)
3. Slope = -0.4
4. Check attachment for graph
5. Learning rate is decreasing
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
L(x) = 20-0.4x
20 = 0.4x
x = 20/0.4
x = 50
(50,0)
2
For y coordinate;
L(0) = 20-0.4(0)
= 20
(0,20)
3.
Slope,
Y = -0.4x+20
We compare with
Y = mx+c
m = -0.4
Intercept c = 20
4. Check attachment
5. The slope is negative at m = -0.4 therefore the rate of learning is on a decline. As number of words learnt increases, learning rate falls.

A company sells widgets. The amount of profit, y, made by the company, is related to the selling price of each widget, x, by the given equation. Using this equation, find out what price the widgets should be sold for, to the nearest cent, for the company to make the maximum profit.
y=-10x^2+600x-3588
y=−10x
2
+600x−3588
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The maximum profit will be found in the vertex of the parabola, which is what your equation is. You could do this by completing the square, but it is way easier to just solve for h and k using the following formulas:
[tex]h=\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex] for the x coordinate of the vertex, and
[tex]k=c-\frac{b^2}{4a}[/tex] for the y coordinate of the vertex.
x will be the selling price of each widget and y will be the profit. Usually, x is the number of the items sold, but I'm going off your info here for what the vertex means in the context of this problem.
Our variables for the quadratic are as follows:
a = -10
b = 600
c = -3588. Therefore,
[tex]h=\frac{-600}{2(-10)}=30[/tex] so the cost of each widget is $30. Now for the profit:
[tex]k=-3588-(\frac{(600)^2}{4(-10)})[/tex] This one is worth the simplification step by step:
[tex]k=-3588-(\frac{360000}{-40})[/tex] and
k = -3588 - (-9000) and
k = -3588 + 9000 so
k = 5412
That means that the profit made by selling the widgets at $30 apiece is $5412.
Hence,the profit made by selling the widgets at $[tex]30[/tex] apiece is $[tex]5412[/tex].
What is the maximum profit?
Maximum profit, or profit maximisation, is the process of finding the right price for your products or services to produce the best profit.
Here given that,
A company sells widgets. The amount of profit, [tex]y[/tex], made by the company, is related to the selling price of each widget, [tex]x[/tex], by the given equation.
As the maximum profit found in the vertex of the parabola,
Here, [tex]x[/tex] will be the selling price of each widget and [tex]y[/tex] will be the profit.
The number of items sold is [tex]x[/tex].
So, the quadratic equation is:-
[tex]a = -10b = 600c = -3588.[/tex]
Therefore, so the cost of each widget is $[tex]30[/tex].
For the profit:-
[tex]k = -3588 - (-9000) andk = -3588 + 9000 sok = 5412[/tex]
Hence,the profit made by selling the widgets at $[tex]30[/tex] apiece is $[tex]5412[/tex].
