In the first week students at RSM solved 25 percent of their monthly quota of problems. In the second week, they solved 110 percent of the number of problems solved in the first week. In the third week they solved 60 percent of the number of problems they had solved in the first two weeks and, in the fourth week, they solved the remaining 320 problems. How many problems did students solve in the four-week month?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2,000 problems

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the students solved the following amount of problems:

Week 1 - 25% of the month

Week 2 - 110% of the first week--> this means 25(1.10)=27.5%

Week 3 - 60% of the first two week--> this means 0.6(25+26.5)=31.5%

Week 4 - 320 problems --> this is 16% of the quota since 100-25-27.5-31.5=16%

So we know that 320 is 16%. We can set up a proportion to find the total amount.

[tex]\frac{16}{100} =\frac{320}{y}[/tex]

We solve by cross multiplying by multiplying numerator and denominator on opposite fractions.

[tex]16(y)=100(320)\\16y=32000\\\frac{16y}{16}=\frac{32000}{16}\\  y=2,000[/tex]

The quota for the month is 2,000 problems.

x = 9/10 - 11/20

x = 18/20 - 11/20

x = 7/20

Answer:

x = 7/20

Step-by-step explanation:

11/20 +x= 9/10

Subtract 11/20 from each side

11/20-11/20 +x= 9/10-11/20

x = 9/10-11/20

We need a common denominator of 20

x = 9/10 *2/2 - 11/20

x =18/20 -11/20

x = 7/20

If 3 pairs of pants cost $63 what is the cost of 16 pairs of pants?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion. Because you know that three pairs of pants costs sixteen dollars, you can put three over sixteen because they are both the same part of the equation, the same part being that they are pairs of pants. Then you set up another proportion, sixty three over x, because you do not know how much sixteen pairs of pants costs. It should look like this. Then you cross multiply and divide.

height of an object t seconds after it is launched is modeled by the function h(t) = -5t^2 + 30t + 200. the object will hit the ground in how many seconds.

Answers

Answer:

10 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

AS it is given in the question that

h(t) = -5t² + 30t + 200                     ...........................(i)

We have to find the time when it will touch the ground

so it will be touching the ground when its height from ground will be zero

i.e. h(t)=0

so equation (i) becomes

0 = -5t² + 30t + 200

Now we will solve this to get the value of t

Dividing whole equation with (-5) it will give us

t² - 6t - 40 = 0

Using the mid term breaking rule which will break the mid term and we will get the factors from the mid term

t² - 10t + 4t - 40 = 0

Now we will do the factorization of it

t(t-10)+4(t-10)=0

(t-10)(t+4)=0

so either

t-10 = 0              or   t+4=0

t=10                  or      t= - 4

as t is time so it can not be negative

so

t=10 seconds will be the time in which it will touch the earth

Answer: 10 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

When the object hits the ground, the height (y-value) is 0.

h(t) = -5t² + 30t + 200

  0 = -5t² + 30t + 200   set height equal to zero

  0 = -5(t² - 6t - 40)      factored out -5

  0 = -5(t - 10)(t + 4)     factored the quadratic

0 = t - 10     0 = t + 4    applied the Zero Product Property

  t = 10         t = -4        solved for t

                        ↓

                    t = -4 is not valid (since time cannot be negative)

So, t = 10

3.152

Answers

Answer:

3149/999 = 3  152/999

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll assume the bar is over 152 and there is a typo.

Use a step-by-step calculator (I recommend Symbolab) OR:

Let x equal 3.152...

1000x = 3152.152...

1000x-x = 3152.152... - 3.152...

999x =

3152.152...

-     3.152...

3149

Cancel out the .152...

999x = 3149

Divide by 999 on each side

x=3149/999 = 3 152/999

Answer:

The given number is 3.152.

Notice that this is a rational number without a repetition pattern, that means we just need to divide all digist without the decimal point by 1000, because the number of zeros always depends on the number of decimals, which are three in this case.

[tex]\frac{3152}{1000}[/tex]

Then, we simplfy

[tex]\frac{3152}{1000}=\frac{1576}{500}=\frac{788}{250}=\frac{394}{125}[/tex]

So, the improper fraction equal to 3.152 is 394/125.

The mixed number is [tex]\frac{394}{125}=3\frac{19}{125}[/tex]

Write the ratio of the area of a circle with radius r to the circumference of the same circle

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{r}{2\pi r} =\frac{1}{2\pi }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A ratio is a comparison of two quantities and can be written in several forms including fractions. It is most commonly written in fraction form or a:b.

To write a ratio, we count the number of each quantity we are comparing or use the variable for that quantity. We write radius:circumference. Recall, the circumference of a circle can be found using [tex]\pi d[/tex] or [tex]2\pi r[/tex].

We write r: [tex]\pi d[/tex]  or r:[tex]2\pi r[/tex].

We can also write in fraction form:

[tex]\frac{r}{\pi d}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{r}{2\pi r} =\frac{1}{2\pi }[/tex]


You can use the fact that ratio of one quantity to other is fraction involving one quantity over another quantity.

The specified ratio is given as

[tex]r:2\\\\or\\\\\dfrac{r}{2}[/tex]

What is the ratio of a to b ?

The ratio of a to b is  [tex]\dfrac{a}{b}[/tex]

It is sometimes written as [tex]a:b[/tex]

We can remove common factors of a and b to simplify them.

Thus, if

[tex]a = c \times x\\b = d \times x\\[/tex]
then

[tex]\dfrac{a}{b} = \dfrac{c \times x}{d \times x} = \dfrac{c}{d}[/tex]

What is the area of a circle and circumference of a circle with radius r units?

The area of a circle with radius r units is

[tex]Area = \pi r^2[/tex]

The circumference of a circle with radius r units is

[tex]Circumference = 2 \pi r[/tex]

( Remember that many times, when using letters or symbols, we hide multiplication and write two things which are multiplied, close to each other. As in [tex]2 \times x = 2x[/tex] )

Their ratio is

[tex]\dfrac{Area_r}{Circumference_r} = \dfrac{\pi r^2}{2\pi r} = \dfrac{r}{2}[/tex]

Thus,

The specified ratio is given as

in one hour a seamstress can sew 52 yards of material. How many yards can she sew in 45 minutes?

Answers

Answer:

39 yards


hope it helps

Step-by-step explanation:

52 ÷ 4 = 13 per quarter of an hour  

we are gonna divide by four because there are 4 quarters in a hour and in 3 quarters there is 45 minutes  

13 x 3 = 39

Final answer:

The seamstress can sew 39 yards of material in 45 minutes.

Explanation:

To find out how many yards the seamstress can sew in 45 minutes, we need to convert 45 minutes into hours. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so 45 minutes is equal to 45/60 = 0.75 hours.

Next, we can use the given information that the seamstress can sew 52 yards of material in one hour. Multiply the yards per hour by the fraction of an hour to find out how many yards can be sewn in 45 minutes:

Yards in 45 minutes = 52 yards/hour × 0.75 hours = 39 yards.

There are 16 dolphins in a pod. Each pod has the same number of males and females. The female dolphins are swimming in pairs. How many pairs of female dolphins are there?

Answers

Final answer:

To determine the number of pairs of female dolphins, the total number of dolphins is divided equally between males and females, resulting in 8 female dolphins. Then, dividing by 2 as they swim in pairs, we find there are 4 pairs of female dolphins.

Explanation:

The question involves dividing the total number of dolphins in the pod by two to find out how many male and female dolphins there are since the pod has an equal number of each gender. Since the females are swimming in pairs, we then divide the number of female dolphins by two to find out how many pairs there are.

There are 16 dolphins in total. Half of them are females, so there are 8 female dolphins. The females swim in pairs, so to find the number of pairs we divide the number of female dolphins by two:

8 females ÷ 2 = 4 pairs of female dolphins.

The second statement that AN = NC and DN = NB is true because a parallelogram has its diagonals bisect each other. In other words, the diagonals cut in each other in half.

The third statement that AD = BC and DC = AB is true because opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and congruent.

The fourth statement is true because opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent. If A = C = 90, then A+C = 90+90 = 180 backing up the claim I made earlier, but it's possible that A and C are non-right angles making this parallelogram non-rectangular.

the relationship between the relative size of an earthquake, S, and the measure of the earthquake on the Richter scale, R, is given by the equation log S = R. If an earthquake measured 3.2 on the Richter scale, what was it relative size? Express your answer to the nearest hundredth

Answers

Answer:

Relative Size, S, is 1584.89


Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is [tex]R=log_{10}(S)[/tex]

Where,

R is the measurement in Richter ScaleS is the relative size of the earthquare

It is given that in Richter Scale, an earthquake measured 3.2, so [tex]R=3.2[/tex].

They want to know relative size, S, so we put given information in equation and solve for S:

[tex]R=log_{10}(S)\\3.2=log_{10}(S)[/tex]

Converting to exponential form, we have:

[tex]3.2=log_{10}(S)\\S=10^{3.2}\\S=1584.8932[/tex]

Rounding to nearest hundredth, we have:

[tex]S=1584.89[/tex]

Final answer:

To find the relative size of an earthquake measured at 3.2 on the Richter scale, calculate 10 to the power of 3.2. This results in a relative size of approximately 1584.89 when expressed to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

The relationship between the relative size of an earthquake, S, and the measure of the earthquake on the Richter scale, R, is given by the equation log S = R. If an earthquake measured 3.2 on the Richter scale, we can calculate its relative size by finding the antilogarithm (typically the base 10) of the Richter scale magnitude. This means finding 10 to the power of the magnitude.

To find the relative size for an earthquake that measured 3.2 on the Richter scale:

Use the equation log S = R where R = 3.2.Find the antilog of R, which is 10 to the power of 3.2.Perform the calculation to obtain S, which will be S = 10^3.2.Using a calculator, we can compute that S ≈ 1584.89, which to the nearest hundredth is 1584.89.

The relative size or seismic-wave amplitude of the earthquake is therefore approximately 1584.89 when expressed to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

To find the component form for vector v, we need to subtract the initial point from the terminal point. Subtracting the x-coordinates and y-coordinates separately, we get (10 - 5, -8 - 3), which simplifies to (5, -11). Therefore, the component form for vector v is option C, (5, -11).

For the second question, the vectors have the same initial points but different terminal points, so they cannot be equal. Therefore, the correct choice is option B, No, the two vectors have different initial points.

In March, Delphine's house had 40\%40% more snowfall than in February. Delphine's house had ff centimeters of snowfall in February. Which of the following expressions could represent how much snowfall Delphine had at her house in March?

Answers

Answer:  1.4 f or [tex]1f +\frac{4f}{10}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, According to the question,

The snowfall in February in Delphine's house had = f cm

Again according to the question,

In March, Delphine's house had 40% more snowfall than in February.

Therefore, The snowfall in March in Delphine's house had = 140% of The snowfall in February in Delphine's house had

= 140 % of f

= [tex]\frac{f\times 140}{100}[/tex]

= 1.4 f cm

= 1 f + 0.4 f

= [tex]1 f + \frac{4f}{10}[/tex] cm

if y=6x+8 and y=-4x-2,what is the value of x+y when the two equations are equal?

Answers

6x+8=-4x-2
10x=-10 /:10
x=-1
y=-6*(-1)+8
y=-6+8
y=2
Greetings!

Answer:

x + y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If the two equations are the same, then it can be shown by this:

6x + 8 = -4x - 2

We need to isolate the x values, so we need to move the -4x over to the other side making it a +4x:

6x + 4x + 8 = -2

Next, move the +8 over to the other side making it a -8:

6x + 4x = -2 - 8

10x = -10

x = -1

So now we can plug this value into the first equation:

6(-1) + 8 = y

-6 + 8 = y

y = 2

x + y = -1 + 2 = 1

So x + y = 1


Hope this helps!

The difference between two numbers is 15. The greater number is two less than twice the lesser number.

Find the numbers.

Answers

Answer:

x=32, y=17

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference between two numbers is 15:

x-y=15

Greater number (x) is two less than twice the lesser number:

x=2y-2

-----

x-y=15,

x=2y-2.


x-y-x=15-2y+2

-y=15-2y+2

y=15+2

y=17

-----

x-y=15

x-17=15

x=17+15

x=32

Final answer:

To solve the word problem, we transcribe the information into algebraic equations. We then isolate one variable to solve for it first, and then substitute that variable's value into the second equation. The solution we find is that the two numbers are 17 and 32.

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we must translate the word problem into algebraic equations. We're trying to find two numbers based on the information that's given to us: their difference is 15, and the larger number is two less than twice the smaller number.

First, let's define the numbers as follows: x = smaller number and y = larger number. Now we can set up our two equations based on the problem:

y - x = 15 (because the difference between two numbers is 15) y = 2x - 2 (because the larger number is two less than twice the smaller number)

Now we can substitute equation (2) into equation (1) which gives us: 2x -2 - x = 15. Simplify the equation, we get x = 17 and substitute x = 17 into equation (2), we get y = 32.

So, the two numbers are 17 and 32.

to make 1 1/2 dozen muffins, a recipe uses 3 1/2 cups of flour.
How many cups of flour are needed for every dozen muffins made?

Answers

Final answer:

To find how many cups of flour are needed for every dozen muffins made, set up a ratio using the given information, and solve for x.

Explanation:

To find how many cups of flour are needed for every dozen muffins made, we can set up a ratio using the information given in the question. We know that to make 1 1/2 dozen muffins, 3 1/2 cups of flour are needed. So we can set up the ratio:

1 1/2 dozen muffins : 3 1/2 cups of flour = 1 dozen muffins : x cups of flour

To solve for x, we can cross multiply, and divide:

(1 1/2) * x = (1) * (3 1/2)

x = (1 * 3 1/2) / (1 1/2) = 7/2 cups of flour

Therefore, for every dozen muffins made, 7/2 cups of flour are needed.

if you borrow $421 for nine years at an interest rate of 4% how much interest will you pay

Answers

Answer:

the answer is $151.56

Step-by-step explanation:

our formula of interest is I = PxRxT

P (principal) = 421

R (rate) = 4%  (we have to turn it into a decimal which is 0.04)

T (time) = 9 years

so :

I = 421 x 0.04 x 9

I = 151.56

The total interest paid will be $151.56.

To find out how much interest you will pay on a loan of $421 over nine years at an annual interest rate of 4%, we can use the formula for simple interest:

Simple Interest = Principal × Rate × Time

Where the Principal amount is $421, the Rate is 4% (or 0.04 when converted to a decimal), and the Time is 9 years.

Let's plug the values into the formula:
Simple Interest = 421 × 0.04 × 9Now perform the multiplication:
Simple Interest = 421 × 0.36Finally, calculate the result:
Simple Interest = $151.56.
