Give your answer in its simplest form

Answers

Answer 1

(1)

If there are three times as many males as females, the ratio of males to females would be 3:1.

To make this more clearer. Suppose you have 100 students. for each 4 students, 3 of them are male and 1 is a female.

We can then say there are 75 males and 25 females.

Expressing this as a ratio(fraction) is easy 3 out of 4 are males and 1 out of 4 are females. So the ratio of males would be;

[tex]r(m) = \frac{3}{4} [/tex]

(2)

Let x be the number of cola bottles

Let y be the number of smarties

Let z be the number of marshmallows

x=3y (since there are 3 times more x than y)

y=2z (since there are 2 times more y than z)

we know that marshmallows are twice as less as smarties. so for 1 marshmallow you'd have 2 smarties. But we also know that cola bottles should be 2×3=6 since we have 3 times more cola bottles than smarties.

Adding up our total sweets we get;

1+2+6=9

But how many of those are cola bottles? 6!

So the ratio of cola bottles can be expressed as,

[tex]r(c) = \frac{6}{9} = \frac{2}{3} [/tex]

You can simplify the numerator and denominator by 3 to get 2 over 3.

Answers

Answer:

  a. positive

Step-by-step explanation:

You want a description of the sign of the slope of a graph of ...

amount of water in a filling bathtubtemperature of a cooling drinknumber of lights in a stringpower in a battery being used

Slope

The slope of a graph is the "rise" divided by the "run." Generally, we choose the direction of "run" to be to the right, so the "rise" will be positive when the graph shows an increasing value, and it will be negative when the graph shows a decreasing value. When the rise is zero (the value is neither increasing nor decreasing), the slope is zero.

Water

A graph of the volume of water in a filling tub will show it starts at some low value and increases over time. Generally such a graph will have volume on the vertical axis, and time on the horizontal axis. Since the volume is increasing, the slope is positive.

Temperature

As a hot drink cools, its temperature decreases. The graph of temperature will generally be drawn with temperature on the vertical axis, and time on the horizontal axis. Since the temperature is decreasing, the slope will be negative.

Lights

We presume there is no process going on that is changing the number of light bulbs in the string of lights, so the value is constant. It is neither increasing nor decreasing, so the slope of its graph will be zero.

Power

If we presume your cell phone is not connected to a charger while it is streaming video for you, then we can assume the power in the battery is decreasing. The slope of the graph of battery power will be negative.

(If the phone is connected to a charger, the slope may be zero or positive, depending on the power output of the charger. One of my phone chargers is "low power," so the battery power does not increase unless the phone is turned off (not playing video).)

15) The length of OC is twice the length of EO so CE = 1(7) + 2(7) = 3(7)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 14

Area of a parallelogram = base × altitude

Given:

area ABEF = 63 cm²base = ABaltitude = 7 cm

Substituting the given values into the formula and solve for AB:

⇒ Area = base × altitude

⇒ 63 = AB × 7

[tex]\sf \implies AB=\dfrac{63}{7}[/tex]

⇒ AB = 9cm

Nayeli has a points card for a movie theater.
She receives 40 rewards points just for signing up.
• She earns 14.5 points for each visit to the movie theater.
She needs at least 185 points for a free movie ticket.

Answers

Answer: She would have to visit the movie theater 10 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not sure what the actual question is.

the general function for the amount of gathered reward points p with v visits to the theater is

p(v) = 14.5×v + 40 (40 starting points, 14.5 points per visit)

to know how many visits are needed for a certain amount of points (185) we need to solve that equation for v :

185 = 14.5×v + 40

145 = 14.5×v

v = 145/14.5 = 10

so, she needs at least 10 visits to gather the desired 185 points for a free ticket.

but that applies only to the first free ticket.

after that the function behavior kind of changes, because we have no more starting points :

so to get 2×185 = 370 points for 2 free tickets she will need

370 = 14.5×v + 40

330 = 14.5×v

v = 330/14.5 = 22.75862069...

we need to round up to the next whole number (because there can be no "part-visits").

so, she will need 23 visits for 2 free tickets (that means 13 more visits for the second free ticket).

Applying the angles of intersecting chords theorem, the value of x in the first figure is: x = 7.

What is the Angles of Intersecting Chords Theorem?

If two chords of a circle intersect, the angles of intersecting chords theorem states that, the measure of the angle formed equals 1/2(sum of the measure of the arcs which are intercepted.

Thus, we can use the angles of intersecting chords theorem to find missing angles or value of x in the questions given.

For example, let's find the value of x in the first figure given:

12x + 5 = 1/2(83 + 95)

12x + 5 = 89

12x = 89 - 5

12x = 84

x = 7

Using same strategy, you can solve the rest of the problem given.

Find the angle between vectors a=(1,2) and b=(1,-1/2).

Answers

Answer:

[tex]90^{\circ}[/tex]. In other words, these two vectors are perpendicular (orthogonal) to one another.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]\|a\|[/tex] and [tex]\|b\|[/tex] denote the magnitudes of vector [tex]a[/tex] and vector [tex]b[/tex]. The dot product between these two vectors is represented as [tex]a^{T}\, b[/tex].  Let [tex]\theta[/tex] denote the angle between the two vectors. The cosine of this angle would be equal to:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\cos(\theta) &= \frac{a^{T}\, b}{\|a\| \|b\|}\end{aligned}[/tex].

The dot product between vector [tex]a = \langle 1,\, 2\rangle[/tex] and [tex]b = \langle 1,\, -1/2\rangle[/tex] is:

[tex]\begin{aligned}a^{T}\, b &= {\begin{bmatrix}1 \\ 2\end{bmatrix}}^{T}\, \begin{bmatrix}1 \\ -1/2\end{bmatrix} \\ &= 1 \times 1 + 2 \times \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) \\ &= 0\end{aligned}[/tex].

The magnitudes of the two vectors are:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\| a \| &= \sqrt{1^{2} + 2^{2}} \\ &= 5\end{aligned}[/tex].

[tex]\begin{aligned}\| b \| &= \sqrt{1^{2} + \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}} \\ &= \frac{1}{2}\, \sqrt{5}\end{aligned}[/tex].

Therefore:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\cos(\theta) &= \frac{a^{T}\, b}{\|a\| \|b\|} \\ &= \frac{0}{5 \times (\sqrt{5} / 2)} \\ &= 0\end{aligned}[/tex].

Among all angles between [tex]0^{\circ}[/tex] and [tex]180^{\circ}[/tex], the only angle with a cosine of [tex]0[/tex] is [tex]90^{\circ}[/tex]. Therefore, the angle between vector [tex]a[/tex] and vector [tex]b[/tex] must be [tex]90^{\circ}\![/tex]. Hence, these two vectors are perpendicular to one another.

How many patients had more than 5 cavities?

Answers

Answer:

2 patients had more than 5 cavities.

step-by-step explanation:

5 cavities = 26 cavities = 07 cavities = 2

Here cavities > 5

so only 2 patients had more than 5 cavities also as had total 7 cavities.

Answer:

2 patients had more than 5 cavities

Step-by-step explanation:

Each dot represents a different patient.

"More than 5" means numbers greater than 5 (so from 6 onwards).

From inspection of the dot plot, there are 2 dots above all the numbers that are greater than 5.

Therefore, there are 2 patients who had more than 5 cavities.

What is a Conversion Rate?

The conversion rate of a physical quantity is the method by which a unit of measurement is changed from one process to another by following a standard conversion rate and dimensional analysis.

From the information given:

The difference in the time from 5:25 PM to 2:45 PM is 2 hours:40 minutesIf we convert 2 hours:40 mins to minutes, we have = 160 minutes

The difference in the water in the tank within these two periods is:

= 22917 L - 8077 L

= 14840 L

In one minute, the amount of Liter is:

= 14840/160

= 92.75 Liter/minute

Similarly, between 6:10 pm and 5:25 pm, there are 45 minutes difference.

Therefore, the amount of water that the tank will contain at 6:10 PM that

day is;
