Lila decided to make more baked goods for the bake sale. She used 1/8 less flour to make bread to make cookies. She used 1/4 more flour to make cookies than to make brownies. If she used 1/2 of flour to make the bread, how much flour did she use to make the brownies. Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3/7 cup

Step-by-step explanation:

Ignore the units for the time being. Just to give it units, you could call it cups. This question is really about ratios.

Let the cookies = x

Then the bread = x - 1/8 x = 7/8x

The brownies = cookies - 1/4 cookies

The brownies = 3/4 cookies = 3/4 x

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

Now start again.

The bread uses 1/2 cup.

That translates into 1/2 = 7/8 x

x = 1/2 // 7/8 = 4/7 cup for the cookies    (4/7 is larger than 1/2)

Whatever the cookies are, the brownies take 3/4 as much

4/7 * 3/4 = 12/28 = 3/7

The answer should be 3/7 of a cup.

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3/8 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

If all units are pounds, then we have ...

  bread = cookies - 1/8 lb

  cookies = brownies + 1/4 lb

  bread = 1/2 lb

Using the last value in the first equation, we find ...

  1/2 lb = cookies - 1/8 lb

  cookies = 5/8 lb . . . . . . . add 1/8 lb to both sides

Using this in the second equation gives ...

  5/8 lb = brownies + 1/4 lb

  3/8 lb = brownies . . . . . subtract 1/4 lb from both sides

__

Lila used 3/8 lb of flour to make the brownies.

x2−10x−39=39−39

x2−10x−39=0

Step 2: Factor left side of equation.

(x+3)(x−13)=0

The amount of time workers spend commuting to their jobs each day in a large metropolitan city has a mean of 70 minutes and a standard deviation of 20 minutes. Assuming nothing is known about the shape of the distribution of commuting times, what percentage of these commuting times are between 30 and 110 minutes

Answers

Answer:

At least 75% of these commuting times are between 30 and 110 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Chebyshev Theorem

The Chebyshev Theorem can also be applied to non-normal distribution. It states that:

At least 75% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

At least 89% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

An in general terms, the percentage of measures within k standard deviations of the mean is given by [tex]100(1 - \frac{1}{k^{2}})[/tex].

In this question:

Mean of 70 minutes, standard deviation of 20 minutes.

Since nothing is known about the distribution, we use Chebyshev's Theorem.

What percentage of these commuting times are between 30 and 110 minutes

30 = 70 - 2*20

110 = 70 + 2*20

THis means that 30 and 110 minutes is within 2 standard deviations of the mean, which means that at least 75% of these commuting times are between 30 and 110 minutes

Natalie bought a 3 - pack of erasers for $1.47. How much did each eraser cost?

Answers

Answer:

Each eraser costs $0.49

Step-by-step explanation:

If three erasers cost $1.47, and you have to find the value of one eraser, all you have to do is divide $1.47 by three.

1.47 ÷ 3 = 0.49

To prove this, you can multiple 0.49 by three.

0.49 × 3 = 1.47

Therefore, your answer will be $0.49 per eraser.

Tatiana is buying b number of books and m number of magazines at the book fair. The books cost $4 each and the magazines cost $2 each. Tatiana's total purchase can be shown with this expression: 4b+2m. Which

expression is equivalent to 4b+2m

Answers

Answer:

[tex]4b + 2m = 2(2b + m)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]4b + 2m[/tex]

Required

Write an equivalent expression

To do this, we simply write [tex]4b + 2m[/tex] as a product of two factors.

Express 4b as 2 * 2b

[tex]4b + 2m = 2 * 2b + 2m[/tex]

Express 2m as 2 * m

[tex]4b + 2m = 2 * 2b + 2 * m[/tex]

Factor 2 out of the expression:

[tex]4b + 2m = 2 *(2b + m)[/tex]

[tex]4b + 2m = 2(2b + m)[/tex]

Hence:

An equivalent expression is: [tex]2(2b + m)[/tex]

A diet claims to help lose weight. A dietician wants to see if a particular diet helps lose weight. 120 people were on the diet for 6 months. After 6 months, the sample mean of weight loss was 0.8 pound with sample SD of 2 pounds. The distribution is more or less normal. What kind of hypothesis testing do we use

Answers

Answer:

d. t-test for means

Step-by-step explanation:

Options are "a. z-test for proportions, b. z-test for means, c. none of the other three answers, d. t-test for means"

Sample size = n = 120

Sample mean = x = 0.8

Sample standard deviation = s = 2

Claim: A particular diet helps loss weight.

Hypothesis test

The null and alternative hypothesis is

H0 : μ = 0

Ha : μ < 0

Now, when population standard deviation is unknown we use t-test otherwise use z-test. So, the kind of hypothesis testing that we use is t-test for means.

Answer:

80 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The total angle measure of a triangle, no matter the type, is always 180 degrees.

Using this, we can calculate the missing angle:

[tex]180=65+35+x[/tex]

[tex]x=180-(65+35)[/tex]

[tex]x=180-100[/tex]

[tex]x=80[/tex]

The measure of angle x in the triangle is 80 degrees.

What is the measure of angle x?

The figure in the image is a triangle.

From the diagram:

Angle 1 = x

Angle 2 = 65 degrees

Angle 3 = 35 degrees

To solve for the measure of angle x, we use the fact the the sum of the interior angle of a triangle equals 180 degrees.

Hence:

Angle 1 + Angle 2 + Angle 3 = 180

Plug in the values:

x + 65 + 35 = 180

Collect and add like terms:

x + 100 = 180

Subtract 100 from both sides:

x + 100 - 100 = 180 - 100

x = 180 - 100

x = 80°

Therefore, angle x has a measure of 80 degrees.
