Write this ratio as a fraction in simplest form without any units.75 minutes to 1 hourYou can use the table below to help convert the units.1 minute = 60 seconds1 hour = 60 minutes-1 day = 24 hours1 week = 7 days0
To get an unitless ratio, both of our quantities have to be in the same units. Let's convert that hour into minutes:
[tex]1h\rightarrow60\min [/tex]Thereby, our ratio would be:
[tex]\frac{75\min }{60\min }\rightarrow\frac{5}{4}[/tex]Which two ratios are NOT equal? 1:6 and 3:18 OB. 2:14 and 3:42 OC. 12:6 and 2:1 OD 3:11 and 6:22
Let's check the ratios:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{6} \\ \text{and} \\ \frac{3}{18} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]First one is already reduced. Let's reduce the 2nd fraction by dividing top and bottom by 3, so
[tex]\frac{3}{18}=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]So, they are equal.
Next ratio:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{14}\text{and}\frac{3}{42} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]Let's divide both top and bottom by 2 (1st fraction) and top and bottom by (3) in 2nd fraction:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{14}=\frac{1}{7} \\ \text{and} \\ \frac{3}{42}=\frac{1}{14} \end{gathered}[/tex]They aren't equal. So, we have already found our answer.

We are given a set of data with the employee number and the corresponding weekly wage.
Part 1.1 To determine the wage per hour we need to find the quotient between the weekly wage and the number of hours worked per week.
In the case of employee 1, we have that his weekly wage was 1680, therefore, the weekly payment per hour is:
[tex]p=\frac{1680}{42}=40\text{ per hour}[/tex]The weekly payment is $40 per hour.
Part 1.2 We have that employee number 4 work a total of 6 hours each day of the week. Since there are 7 days per week we have that the total number of hours during the week is:
[tex]h_4=(6day)(7)=42\text{ }hours[/tex]Now, we multiply by the rate of payment per week, therefore, his weekly pay must be:
[tex]p_4=(42hours)(40\text{ per hour\rparen}=1680[/tex]Therefore, the weekly wage of 4 is 1680.
Part 1.3 To determine the number of hours that employee 8 we must have into account that the number of hours per week by the rate of pay per hour is the total weekly wage, therefore:
[tex](40\text{ per hour\rparen}h_8=2000[/tex]Now, we divide both sides by 40:
[tex]h_8=\frac{2000}{40}=50hours[/tex]Therefore, employee 8 worked 50 hours.
Part 1.4 Since the weekly payment is proportional to the number of hours this means that the employee that worked the least number of hours is the one with the least weekly wage.
We have that employee 5 has the smaller wage, therefore, employee 5 worked the least number of hours.
Part 1.5 we are asked to identify the dependent variable between weekly wage and the number of hours worked.
Since the number of hours does not depend on any of the other considered variables this means that this is the independent variable. Therefore, the dependent variables is the weekly wage. The correct answer is A
Part 1.6 The modal value of a set of data is the value that is repeated the most. We have that the weekly wage that is repeated the most is 1600 since it is the wage of employees 2 and 7. Therefore, the modal value is 1600
Part 1.7 The range of a set of data is the difference between the maximum and minimum values. The maximum wage is 2000 and the minimum is 1160, therefore, the range is:
[tex]R=2000-1160=840[/tex]The range is 840
A store is having a " 15 % off sale on perfume . You have a coupon for 50 % off any perfume . What is the final price , in dollars , of a $ 30 bottle of perfume ? If necessary round your answer to the nearest cent .
ANSWER
$12.75
EXPLANATION
The store is selling the perfumes at 15% off the original price, so if a bottle of perfume costs $30, then they are selling it at,
[tex]30\cdot\frac{100-15}{100}=30\cdot\frac{85}{100}=30\cdot0.85=25.50[/tex]But you also have a coupon for 50% off, so you get to buy the perfume at half that price,
[tex]25.50\cdot\frac{50}{100}=25.50\cdot0.5=12.75[/tex]Hence, the final price of the perfume is $12.75.
Solve for "x":3x - 5 < -14 or 2x - 1 > 7
We are given the following inequalities:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3x-5<-14,(1)\text{ or} \\ 2x-1>7,(2) \end{gathered}[/tex]First, we will solve for inequality 1. To do that we will add 5 to both sides:
[tex]3x-5+5<-14+5[/tex]Solving the operations:
[tex]3x<-9[/tex]Now we divide both sides by 3:
[tex]\frac{3x}{3}<-\frac{9}{3}[/tex]Solving the operations:
[tex]x<-3[/tex]Now we solve for "x" in inequality (2). To do this we will add 1 to both sides:
[tex]2x-1+1>7+1[/tex]Solving the operations:
[tex]2x>8[/tex]Now we divide both sides by 2:
[tex]\frac{2x}{2}>\frac{8}{2}[/tex]Solving the operations:
[tex]x>4[/tex]Therefore, the solution to the system is:
[tex]x<-3\text{ or x > 4}[/tex]Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the graph of the given equation. (-6, -6); y=-2x+4
Answer:
y = 2x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope, so the slope is 2.
y = mx + b
When need the slope which is given to be 2
We will use the point given (-6,-6) for an x and y on the line
m= 2
x -= -6
y = -6
y=mx+ b
-6 = 2(-6) + b Sole for b
-6 = -12 + b Add 12 to both sides
6 = b
y = 2x + 6
Which of the binomials below is a factor of this trinomial?x^2 - 13x + 42A. x + 84B. x - 7C. x^2 +12D. x + 7
Given the following trinomial:
[tex]x^2-13x+42[/tex]To factor the trinomial, we need two numbers the product of them = 42
And the sum of them = -13
Two of the numbers of factors of 42 = -6, and -7
So, the factor of the trinomial will be as follows:
[tex]x^2-13x+42=(x-6)(x-7)[/tex]So, the answer will be option B. x - 7
Use this information to answer the following two questions. Mathew finds the deepest part of the pond to be 185 meters. Mathew wants to find the length of a pond. He picks three points and records the measurements, as shown in the diagram. Which measurement describes the depth of the pond? Hide All Z between 13 and 14 meters 36 m 14 m between 14 and 15 meters between 92 and 93 meters Х ag between 93 and 94 meters
it's letter A. Between 13 and 14 meters
Because one side measure 14, and the height (depth) could not be
higher than 14 meters .
The length of the pond can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem
length^2 = 36^2 + 14^2
length^2 = 1296 + 196
length^2 = 1492
length = 38.6 m
when doing right triangle trigonometry how do you determine which sine you use like sin, cos etc?
Let's draw a right triangle to guide us:
Every right triangle will have one hypotenuse side and two leg sides. The hypotenuse is always the bigger one and it is always opposite to the right angle, so in this triangle the hypotenuse is a (the letter can change from exercise to exercise, but it is always the opposite to the rignt angle).
The legs can be classified as adjancent or opposite legs, but this is with respect to the angle we are using.
So, if we are using angle C, the opposite leg is the leg that is opposite to angle C, that is, c.
Thus, the adjancent leg is the leg that is touching the angle C, that is, b.
So, with respect to angle C, we have:
Hypotenuse - a
Opposite leg - c
Adjacent leg - b
The sine is the ratio between the opposite leg and the hypotenuse, always.
The cosine is the ratio between the adjacent leg and the hypotenuse, always.
The tangent is the ratio between the opposite leg and the adjacent leg, always.
For, for angle C, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \sin C=\frac{c}{a} \\ \cos C=\frac{b}{a} \\ \tan C=\frac{c}{b} \end{gathered}[/tex]For angle B, we do the same, however now, the legs are switched, because the leg that is opposite to angle B is b and the leg that is adjance to angle B is c, so, for angle B:
Hypotenuse - a
Opposite leg - b
Adjacent leg - c
And we follow the same for sine, cosine and tangent but now for angle B and with the legs switched:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \sin B=\frac{b}{a} \\ \cos B=\frac{c}{a} \\ \tan B=\frac{b}{c} \end{gathered}[/tex]Questions regaring these ratios normally will present 2 values and ask for a third value. One of the values will be an angle, the other will be side (usually). So, we need to identify which angle are we working with and which sides are the hypotenuse, the opposite leg and adjancent leg with respect to the angle we will work with. Then we identify which of the side we will use and pick the ratio thet relates the sides we will use.

In this case the slant height is 4 in.
Now, since the base is a square which sides that has length 5 in. then the perimeter is:
[tex]p=4\cdot5=20[/tex]The area of the base is the length of the side squared, then we have:
[tex]B=5^2=25[/tex]Once we know the values we plug them in the formula, then we have:

What is the median of the data set 4 7 9 10 5 12 6
The median is the value of the data set that separates the sample in halves.
To determine the median of a determined data set, you have to calculate its position.
The given sample has n=7 elements, to determine the position of the median given that the data set is odd, you have to use the following formula:
[tex]\text{PosMe}=\frac{1}{2}(n+1)[/tex]Replace it with n=7
[tex]\begin{gathered} PosMe=\frac{1}{2}(7+1) \\ \text{PosMe}=\frac{1}{2}\cdot8 \\ \text{PosMe}=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]This result indicates that the media is the fourth observation of the data set.
Next, you have to order the data set from least to greatest:
Original data set: 4, 7, 9, 10, 5, 12, 6
Ordered from least to greatest: 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12
Once the data set is ordered, you have to count starting from the left until you reach the fourth observation:
O4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 1
The fourth value of the data set is 7, which means that the median of the data set is 7.
Median=7

The derivative is the instantaneous rate of change of a function with respect to one of its variables. This is equivalent to finding the slope of the tangent line to the function at a point.
The function is given to be:
[tex]T(t)=Ate^{-kt}[/tex]where A and k are positive constants.
We can find the derivative of the function as follows:
[tex]T^{\prime}(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(Ate^{-kt})[/tex]Step 1: Pull out the constant factor
[tex]T^{\prime}(t)=A\cdot\frac{d}{dt}(te^{-kt})[/tex]Step 2: Apply the product rule
[tex]\frac{d(uv)}{dx}=u \frac{dv}{dx}+v \frac{du}{dx}[/tex]Let
[tex]\begin{gathered} u=t \\ v=e^{-kt} \\ \therefore \\ \frac{du}{dt}=1 \\ \frac{dv}{dt}=-ke^{-kt} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, we have:

Answer:
y = 2x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find the slope on the graph by looking at the points. From one point to the next you go Up2Over1.
Up2Over1 is the slope and in actual algebra it is 2/1, which is just 2.
The slope is 2. Fill in 2 in place of m in
y = mx + b
y = 2x + b
Next the y-intercept which is the b, can also be seen on the graph. The y-intercept is where the graph crosses the y-axis. The line crosses the y-axis at 3. Fill in 3 in place of the b.
y = 2x + 3

If he liked all the articles equally, and randomly selected 5 articles to go on the front cover, what is the probability that exactly 3 of the chosen articles are editorials? Write your answer as a decimal rounded to four decimal places.
This is a problem of binomial probability. We have two possible outcomes:
• the article selected is an editorial,

The probability of success (select an article that is an editorial) is:
[tex]p=\frac{5}{12}[/tex]Because we have 12 total articles submitted, and 5 of them were editorials.
To calculate the probability that selecting 5 random articles, getting as a result that exactly 3 of the chosen articles are editorials, we use the binomial probability formula:
[tex]P(n,x)=C(n,x)\cdot p^x\cdot(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]Where:
• n = the number of trials = the number of articles selected randomly = 5,
,• x = the number of success = the number of editorials that we expect = 3,
,• p = the probability of getting an editorial = 5/12,
,• C(n,x) = n! / (x! (n-x)!).
Replacing the data in the formula above, we get:
[tex]P(n=5,x=3)=\frac{5!}{3!\cdot(5-3)!}\cdot(\frac{5}{12})^3\cdot(1-\frac{5}{12})^{5-3}\cong0.24615=0.2462[/tex]Answer
Rounded to four decimal places, the probability that exactly 3 of the chosen articles are editorials is 0.2462.
Compute the percent of profit or loss on shares of stock purchased at8.625 and sold at 10.75.
ANSWER:
24.63%
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
The first thing is to mention that it is a profit because it was bought at a lower amount than it was sold, therefore
We take 100% as the lowest value, and thus we calculate the profit percentage
[tex]10.75\cdot\frac{100}{8.625}=124.63[/tex]Then the difference between both percentages is the profit percentage
[tex]124.63-100=24.63[/tex]
