Answer:
4 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming when it says: [tex]33\frac{1}{3}%[/tex]% it means 33.3333333333 instead of 33/3.
Anyways under that assumption, we currently have 20 ounces in the grape juice, since 4 ounces is grape juice concentrate and 16 ounces is water. So currently let's just say that the total amount of grape juice concentrate is going to be: [tex](4+x)[/tex] where x is the amount of grape juice concentrate you need to add to make it 33.33%. The next thing to know is how to calculate how much percent a is of b. This can be calculated using the equation: [tex]\frac{a}{b}*100[/tex]. So in this case the a is going to be the grape juice concentrate, and the b is going to be the entire mixture (water and grape juice). Since the concentrate is having x added to it, that means the entire thing is also having x added to it. This means we have the equation: [tex]\frac{4+x}{20+x} * 100[/tex], since we already have 4 ounces of grape juice concentrate, and we already have 20 ounces in total (16 ounces of water + 4 ounces of grape juice). This is going to be equal to 33.33%, or in other words 33 1/3. So to make this a bit easier, I'm going to convert this mixed fraction into one fraction, this gives you the fraction: [tex]\frac{100}{3}[/tex]. So now that's all left to do is set these two expressions equal to each other and solve for x
Original equation
[tex]\frac{4+x}{20+x}*100=\frac{100}{3}[/tex]
Divide both sides by 100
[tex]\frac{4+x}{20+x}=\frac{100}{3}\div 100[/tex]
Keep fraction, change division to multiplication, flip 100
[tex]\frac{4+x}{20+x}=\frac{100}{3}* \frac{1}{100}[/tex]
The 100 in the numerator will cancel out the one in the denominator
[tex]\frac{4+x}{20+x}=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 20+x
[tex]4+x=\frac{20+x}{3}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 3
[tex]3(4+x)=20+x[/tex]
Distribute the 3
[tex]12+3x=20+x[/tex]
Subtract x from both sides
[tex]12+2x=20[/tex]
Subtract 12 from both sides
[tex]2x=8[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2
[tex]x=4[/tex]
So Kahn needs to pour 4 more ounces of grape juice, to double check this, since the mixture already has 4 ounces of grape juice, this means the final mixture will have a total of 8 ounces of grape juice concentrate, and a total of 24 ounces, since it already had 16 ounces of water, and 4 ounces of grape juice and now there is 4 more ounces of grape juice being added, so a total of 24 ounces. this means that 8/24 will be grape juice concentrate or in other words: [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] and when you multiply this by 100 (to convert to percent), you get 100/3 or 33 1/3%

Step-by-step explanation:
y = - 2x + 1 → (1)
4x + 2y = - 2 → (2)
substitute y = - 2x + 1 into (2)
4x + 2(- 2x + 1) = - 2 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side
4x - 4x + 2 = - 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
0 = - 4 ← not possible
this indicates the system of equations has no solution

Which types of dilation are the given scale factors?
Select Expansion or Contraction to correctly describe the type of dilation for each given scale factor.
(See image attached for details.)
A scale factor is a contracting scale such that x < 1, where x is the scale factor.
For example, if the scale factor x is less than 1, then it must be decreasing in size, and thus be contracting in size.
But, if the scale factor is greater than 1, then it is expanding in size and increasing.
1) -5 is expanding. It is greater than one.
2) -1/4 is contracting. It is less than one.
3) 3.5 is expanding. It is greater than one.
4) 6/7 is contracting. It is less than one.

Answer:
The distance is 7.3 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Two given points: (-3, 1) and (4, -1)
[tex]\sf Distance \ between \ two \ points = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}[/tex]
Here given:
x₂ = 4x₁ = -3y₂ = -1y₁ = 1Applying the formula:
[tex]\sf d = \sqrt{(4 - (-3))^2 + (-1 - 1)^2}[/tex]
[tex]\sf d = \sqrt{(7)^2 + (-2)^2}[/tex]
[tex]\sf d = \sqrt{49 + 4}[/tex]
[tex]\sf d = \sqrt{53} \ \approx \ 7.28 \ \approx \ 7.3 \ (rounded)[/tex]
Answer:
7.3
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance of a line segment between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula
[tex]d = \sqrt{(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2}[/tex]
If we look at the graph,
the leftmost point of the line is at (-3, 1). Let's call this (x1, y1)
the rightmost point is at (4, -1). Let's call this (x2, y2)
Substituting these values into the distance formula gives us
[tex]d = \sqrt{(4-(-3)^2 + (1-(1)^2} \\ \\d = \sqrt{(7)^2 + (-2)^2} \\ \\d = \sqrt{49 + 4} \\\\d = \sqrt{(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{53} = 7.28[/tex]
Rounded to one decimal place, this is 7.3

Answer:
(4,6)
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the midpoint of two points, just calculate the arithmetic mean (average) of the x and y values of the two points given. For example, it is easy to see visually that the midpoint of (2, 0) and (4, 0) is (3, 0), since (3,0) falls right in the middle of the two points. However, the way to calculate this would be to take the average of 2 and 4 (3), along with the average of 0 and 0 (0). This process gives us our new point (3, 0). In case this doesn't make sense, here is the formula for the midpoint of two points - (x1,y1) and (x2,y2):
[tex]M=(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2} )[/tex]
For this problem, E is (2,4) and F is (6,8). So, the midpoint would be:
[tex](\frac{2+6}{2},\frac{4+8}{2})=(\frac{8}{2},\frac{12}{2})=(4,6)[/tex]
Therefore, the midpoint is (4,6)

How many different dinner meals are possible
The number of different meals possible is 96, computed using combinations.
The combination is a method of choosing a number of articles from a larger set of articles in no particular order.
In the question, we are asked about the different dinner meals possible when a dinner meal is made up of an appetizer, a main course, a dessert, and a drink.
The choices for the appetizer are soup or salad, so the number of ways of choosing an appetizer = 2C1 = 2.
The choices for the main course are chicken, fish, steak, or lobster, so the number of ways of choosing a main course = 4C1 = 4.
The choices for the dessert are ice cream, pie, sorbet, or pastry, so the number of ways of choosing a dessert = 4C1 = 4.
The choices for the drink are coffee, tea, or milk, so the number of ways of choosing a drink = 3C1 = 3.
The total number of ways is the product of all of them.
Therefore, the total number of ways = 2*4*4*3 = 96.

There are about the same number of blue and green marbles.
There are more red marbles than any other color.
Answer:
Invalid statement: There is exactly 1 yellow marble in the box
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of finding a yellow marble is Py = 1/30, according to the sample. Then, the number of yellow marbles expected to find in the box is:
N x Py > 1 ,
where N = 250 (number of marbles in the box).
Thus, we expect to find more than one yellow marble in the box and the Invalid statement is: "There is exactly 1 yellow marble in the box".

y = 2(x - 2)² - 8 - 24
y = 2(x - 2)² - 32
The vertex: (2, -32)
or you can use this: x = -b/2a
x = -(-8)/2(2)
x = 8/4
x = 2
Substitute the value into the original equation for y.
y = 2(2)² - 8(2) - 24
y = 2(4) - 16 - 24
y = 8 - 16 - 24
y = -32
Vertex: (2, -32)
Answer:
(2, -32)
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex of the graph of a quadratic equation is on the line of symmetry, halfway between the x-intercepts. It can be found by evaluating the equation at that point.
Line of symmetryThe given function is written in factored form, so the x-intercepts are easy to find. They are the values of x that make the factors zero:
(x +2) = 0 ⇒ x = -2
(x -6) = 0 ⇒ x = 6
The midpoint between these values of x is their average:
x = (-2 +6)/2 = 4/2
Then the x-coordinate of the vertex, and the equation of the line of symmetry is ...
x = 2
VertexUsing this value of x in the quadratic relation, we find the y-value at the vertex to be ...
y = 2(2 +2)(2 -6) = 2(4)(-4)
y = -32
The coordinates of the vertex are (x, y) = (2, -32).
