Two positive numbers are in the ratio 2 : 3. Find the numbers if ​(a) their sum is 55 and ​(b) their product is 384.

Answers

Answer 1

say the numbers are "a" and "b", we know that they're in the ratio of 2:3, or namely that

[tex]\stackrel{\textit{in the ratio of 2 to 3}}{a~:~b\qquad \qquad 2:3}\qquad \qquad \implies \qquad \cfrac{a}{b}=\cfrac{2}{3}\implies \cfrac{3a}{2}=b \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{their sum is 55}}{a + b = 55}\implies a + \cfrac{3a}{2}=55\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{2}}{2\left( a + \cfrac{3a}{2} \right)=2(55)} \\\\\\ 2a+3a=110\implies 5a=110\implies a = \cfrac{110}{2}\implies \boxed{a = 22}[/tex]

[tex]\stackrel{\textit{we know that}}{\cfrac{3a}{2}=b}\implies \cfrac{3(22)}{2}=b\implies \boxed{33=b} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{their product is 384}}{ab=384}\implies a\left( \cfrac{3a}{2} \right)=384\implies \cfrac{3a^2}{2}=384\implies 3a^2=768 \\\\\\ a^2=\cfrac{768}{3}\implies a^2=256\implies a=\sqrt{256}\implies \boxed{a=16} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{we know that}}{\cfrac{3a}{2}=b}\implies \cfrac{3(16)}{2}=b\implies \boxed{24=b}[/tex]

Answer 2

The positive numbers for both the parts are obtained as 22,33 and 16,24 respectively.

How to write a linear equation?

A linear equation for the given case can be written by assuming any variable as the unknown quantity. Then, as per the given data the required operations are done and it is equated to some value.

(a) As per the question, the numbers can be considered as 2x and 3x respectively.

Then, the equation for their sum can be written as follows,

3x + 2x = 55

⇒ 5x = 55

⇒ x = 11

The numbers are obtained as 2 × 11 = 22 and 3 × 11 = 33.

(b) Similarly, the equation for the product of numbers can be written as,

3x × 2x = 384

⇒ 6x² = 384

⇒ x² = 64

⇒ x = 8

The numbers are obtained as 2× 8 = 16 and 3 × 8 = 24.

The required number for both the cases are 22,33 and 16,24 respectively.

Circle: When x and y are both squared and the coefficients on them are the same — including the sign.

For example, take a look at 3x2 – 12x + 3y2 = 2. Notice that the x2 and y2 have the same coefficient (positive 3). That info is all you need to recognize that you’re working with a circle.

Darla scored 18 points in her last basketball game, shooting only 2- and 3-point shots. If she made 7 total

Answers

Answer:

3 2-pt shots, 4 3-pt shots

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 18

x + y = 7, so x = 7 - y

Substitute in for x

2(7 - y) + 3y = 18

14 - 2y + 3y = 18

14 + y = 18

y = 4

Now put 4 in for y to solve for x

2x + 3(4) = 18

2x + 12 = 18

2x = 6

x = 3

if the length of a cuboid is 60cm and width 40cm and its surface area is 14800cm² find its height

Please Guyz I Want Full Solved Not Just Answer Please ​

Answers

Formula of surface area of cuboid = 2(lb+bh+lh) . Surface area of cuboid is 14800cm^2 (Given) then 14800 = 2(60*40+40*Height+Height*60) 14800= 2(2400+40*H+H*60) 14800= 4800+80*2H+2H*60 14800= 4880*4H*60 14800/4880*60= 4H
14800/292800=4H

37/2928=H
H= 79.1351351

Answer:

The height of cuboid is 50 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

➺ Length of cuboid = 60cm➺ Width of cuboid = 40cm.➺ Surface area of cuboid = 14800cm²

To Find :

➺ Height of cuboid

Using Formulas :

[tex]\star\small{\underline{\boxed{\sf \pink{SA_{(Cuboid)} = 2(lb + bh + lh)}}}}[/tex]

»» SA = surface area »» l = length »» b = breadth »» h = height

Solution :

Substituting all the given values in the formula to find height of cuboid :

[tex]{\longrightarrow{\sf{SA_{(Cuboid)} = 2(lb + bh + lh)}}}[/tex]

[tex]{\longrightarrow{\sf{14800= 2(60 \times 40 + 40 \times h + 60 \times h)}}}[/tex]

[tex]{\longrightarrow{\sf{14800= 2(2400 + 40h + 60h)}}}[/tex]

[tex]{\longrightarrow{\sf{14800= 2(2400 + 100h)}}}[/tex]

[tex]{\longrightarrow{\sf{14800= 4800 + 200h}}}[/tex]

[tex]{\longrightarrow{\sf{200h = 14800 - 4800}}}[/tex]

[tex]{\longrightarrow{\sf{200h = 10000}}}[/tex]

[tex]{\longrightarrow{\sf{h = \dfrac{10000}{200}}}}[/tex]

[tex]{\longrightarrow{\sf{h = \cancel{\dfrac{10000}{200}}}}}[/tex]

There are two spheres; the radius of the big sphere is two times the radius of the small sphere. How many times larger is the volume of the big sphere compared to the small one?

Answers

The volume of the bigger sphere is 8 times larger than the volume of the smaller sphere.

The formula of the volume of a sphere is given below

⇒ Formula:

V = 4/3(πr³)................. Equation 1

⇒ Where:

V = Volume of the spherer = radius of the sphereπ = constant called pie

From the question, There are two spheres.

If the radius of the bigger sphere is two times the radius of the smaller sphere.

R = 2r

⇒ Where

R = bigger radiusr = smaller radius

For the bigger sphere

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 1

V = 4/3(π(2r)³)V = 4/3(π8r³)............. Equation 2

  For the smaller sphere,

V' = 4/3(πr³)............... Equation 3

⇒ Comparing equation 2 and equation 3

V = 8V'

Hence, The volume of the bigger sphere is 8 times larger than the volume of the smaller sphere.

Before adding we require the denominators of both fractions to be common

Multiply numerator/ denominator of first fraction by 4

= [tex]\frac{4}{16}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{10}{16}[/tex] ( now add the numerators leaving the common denominator )

After deducting grants based on need, the average cost to attend the University of Southern California (USC) is $27,175 (U.S. News & World Report, America’s Best Colleges, 2009 ed.). Assume the population standard deviation is $7,400. Suppose that a random sample of 60 USC students will be taken from this population.

a. Refer to Exhibit 2. What is the value of the standard deviation of the mean? (Note: keep two decimal places.)

b.What is the probability that the sample mean will be more than $27,175

c.What is the probability that the sample mean will be within $1,000 of population mean? (Note: keep two decimal places for the z value and four decimal places for the final probability value.)

d.What would be the probability in Part c if the sample size were increased to 100? (Note: keep two decimal places for the z value and four decimal places for the final probability value.)

Answers

The solutions are:

(a) Standard error is 957.04. (b) The probability is 50%. (c)The probability is 0.8491. (d) The probability is 0.8617.

To calculate the values, use the standard error formula for the sample mean:

(a)

The standard error is given by:

[tex]Standard\ error =\dfrac{ Population \ standard \ deviation}{\sqrt{sample\ size}}\\Standard\ error=\dfrac {\$ 7,400 }{ \sqrt60}\\Standard\ error =\ $957.04[/tex]

(b)

To find the probability that the sample mean will be more than $27,175, convert it into a z-score and then find the area under the normal distribution curve:

z = (sample mean - population mean) / standard error

z = ($27,175 - $27,175) / $957.04

z = 0

Since the z-score is 0, the area under the curve to the right of this point is 0.5 or 50%.

c. To find the probability that the sample mean will be within $1,000 of the population mean, we need to find the area between the range of $(27,175 - $1,000) and $(27,175 + $1,000).

Lower limit: $27,175 - $1,000 = $26,175

Upper limit: $27,175 + $1,000 = $28,175

Now, we calculate the z-scores for both limits:

lower = ($26,175 - $27,175) / $957.04 ≈ -1.045

upper = ($28,175 - $27,175) / $957.04 ≈ 1.045

Using a standard normal distribution table or calculator, the probability of a z-score being between -1.045 and 1.045 is approximately 0.8491.

(d)

If the sample size were increased to 100.

[tex]Standard error = \dfrac{ \$7,400}{ \sqrt{100}} \\Standard error = \$740[/tex]

Find the probability that the sample mean will be within $1,000 of the population mean, did in part c:

Lower limit: $27,175 - $1,000 = $26,175

Upper limit: $27,175 + $1,000 = $28,175

lower = ($26,175 - $27,175) / $740

lower ≈ -1.351

upper = ($28,175 - $27,175) / $740

upper ≈ 1.351

Using a standard normal distribution table or calculator, the probability of a z-score being between -1.351 and 1.351 is approximately 0.8617.

Hence,

Standard error is 957.04.The probability is 50%.The probability is 0.8491.The probability is 0.8617.

13/20 - 1/2

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

Explanation:

Ignore the big X and the shading for now. This figure has 4 rows by 5 columns of rectangles. So there are 4*5 = 20 little rectangles total. Each little rectangle represents 1 brownie.

Then let's say the shaded region represents the amount of brownies Mary receives. We have 13 rectangles shaded in out of the 20 total. This means 13/20 is the fractional amount Mary gets.

She then eats 10 of the 20 total, so she eats 10/20 = 1/2 of the brownies.

Therefore, we end up with the expression 13/20 - 1/2 to represent the fractional amount that Mary still has that she hasn't eaten yet (which is 3/20).

We can say: 13/20 - 1/2 = 13/20 - 10/20 = 3/20
