Sheila has 10 1/2 pounds of potato salad. She wants to divide the potato salad into containers, each of which holds 2 1/4 pounds. How many containers does she need? Complete the explanation.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 5  containers

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Given that

Total amount of potato salad = 10 1/2

amount of salad in each container = 2 1/4

Total number of containers = ?

Step 2

Divide the total amount of potato salad by the amount of salad each container  can hold  

 Total number of containers=10 1/2 / 2 1/4 = 21/2 x 4/9= 84/18 = 4 3/5

which can also be written as 10.5 / 2.25= 4.6  

Sheila  will need 5 containers because  4 will be filled and  additional 1 will be partially filled.

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the given point.

y = −1/2x − 3; (14, 0)

The equation is y = ?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=2x-28[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

where:

m is the slope (change in the y values over the change in the x values)b is the y-intercept (where x is 0)x and y are corresponding coordinate points (x,y)

When two lines are perpendicular, their slopes will be opposite reciprocals.

examples:

[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] → flip the fraction and change the sign → [tex]-3[/tex]

-5 or [tex]-\frac{5}{1}[/tex]→ flip the fraction and change the sign → [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{5}{7}[/tex] →flip the fraction and change the sign →[tex]-\frac{7}{5}[/tex]

So find the opposite reciprocal of the given slope:

[tex]y=(slope)x+(y-intercept)\\\\y=-\frac{1}{2} x-3\\\\slope=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Flip the fraction and change the sign:

[tex]-\frac{1}{2}[/tex] → [tex]\frac{2}{1}[/tex] or [tex]2[/tex]

Now insert the new slope and the given points into point-slope form:

[tex]y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})\\\\(14_{x_{1}},0_{y_{1}})\\\\y-0=2(x-14)[/tex]

Solve the equation for y. Use the distributive property:

[tex]y-0=2(x)+2(-14)\\\\y-0=2x-28[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]y=2x-28[/tex]

In an asteroid field, 75% of the asteroids are carbonaceous asteroids. There are 375,000 carbonaceous asteroids in the asteroid field. How many asteroids are not carbonaceous? Asteroids are not carbonaceous.

Answers

Given:

In an asteroid field, 75% of the asteroids are carbonaceous asteroids.

There are 375,000 carbonaceous asteroids in the asteroid field.

To find:

The number of asteroids that are not carbonaceous.

Solution:

Let the total number of asteroids be x.

According to question,

[tex]75\%\text{ of }x = 375000[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{75}{100}x=375000[/tex]

[tex]0.75x=375000[/tex]

Divide both sides by 0.75.

[tex]x=\dfrac{375000}{0.75}[/tex]

[tex]x=500000[/tex]

Asteroids not carbonaceous = Total asteroids - Carbonaceous asteroids

                                                [tex]=500000-375000[/tex]

                                                [tex]=125000[/tex]

Therefore, 125,000 asteroids are not carbonaceous.

#2: Solve the linear system below using the elimination method. Type your
answer as an ordered pair in the form (#,#). *
5x + 7y = 33
11x + 7y = 39
+

Answers

The given linear system is:

[tex]\displaystyle \left \{ {{5x+7y=33} \atop {11x+7y=39}} \right.[/tex]

The question is asking to solve using elimination. When eliminating, you can either eliminate x or y. In this system, y is much easier to eliminate. The y variable in both equations are 7y. To eliminate, one of them has to be negative, so multiply one of the equations by -1.

I will be multiplying the second equation by -1.

[tex]\displaystyle (11x + 7y = 39) \times -1 = -11x-7y=-39[/tex]

Rewrite the system:

[tex]\displaystyle \left \{ {{5x+7y=33} \atop {-11x-7y=-39}} \right.[/tex]

Subtract:

[tex]5x+7y=33\\-11x-7y=-39[/tex]

[tex]5x-11x=33-39\\-6x=-6[/tex]

Lastly, you need to leave the variable x alone. The variable is currently -6x or -6 times x. To remove it, you need to do the opposite of it, which is dividing by -6.

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{-6x}{-6} =\frac{-6}{-6}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle x=1[/tex]

Now that you have the value of x, substitute it into one of the equations to find y. I will be substituting it into the first equation.

[tex]5x+7y=33 \rightarrow 5(1)+7y=33[/tex]

Open the parentheses and multiply:

[tex]5+7y=33[/tex]

Move 5 to the other side to leave the variable alone:

[tex]5+7y-5=33-5[/tex]

You will be subtracting since you're "removing" it by doing the opposite of it.

[tex]7y=28[/tex]

Lastly, divide both sides by 7 to leave y alone.

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{7y}{7} =\frac{28}{7}[/tex]

[tex]y=4[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle (x,y) \rightarrow (1, 4)[/tex]

The answer is (1, 4).

Answer:

(1, 4)

Tbh this question was a bit of a challenge for me but hopefully it helps ya.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's solve for y. So we have to eliminate the x values.

(5x + 7y = 33 ) *11

(11x + 7y = 39) *-5

___________

55x + 77y = 363

-55x -35y = -195   This eliminates the x value.

42y = 168 Divide both sides by 42 to isolate y: 168/42=   y = 4

Now let's solve for x.

(11x + 7y = 39) *7

(5x + 7y = 33 ) *-7

___________

77x + 49y = 273

-35x -49y = -231   This cancels out the y values, which leaves 42x = 42

x = 1 and y = 4, so the answer is (1, 4)

The Graph transformation of [tex]f(x) = 7^x[/tex] which stretched vertically by a factor of five is  [tex]g(x) = 5(7^x)[/tex] .

What is graph transformation?

Graph transformation is the process by which an existing graph, or graphed equation, is modified to produce a variation of the proceeding graph .

According to the question

The graph of [tex]f(x) = 7^x[/tex]  stretched vertically by a factor of five .

i.e

we have to make change is graph equation so y axis changes 5 times .

Therefore ,

[tex]f(x) =( 7^x ) * 5[/tex]

The Graph transformation  of f(x) is

[tex]g(x) = 5(7^x)[/tex]

Hence, the Graph transformation of [tex]f(x) = 7^x[/tex] which stretched vertically by a factor of five is  [tex]g(x) = 5(7^x)[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<3 = 55° ( vertically opposite angles )

<4 = 180 - 105 = 75° ( linear pair )

<5 = 180 - ( 55 + 75 ) ( angle sum property of a triangle )

    = 180 - 130

    = 50°

<1 = <2 ( angles opposite to equal sides )

let < 1 and < 2 be x

55 + 2x = 180 ( angle sum property of a triangle )

2x = 180 - 55

2x = 125

x = 125 / 2

x = 62.5

therefore, < 1 = <2 = 62.5°
