2) For 9 cows, 13 kg 500 g of food supplement are required every day.
In the same proportion, how much will be needed for 12 cows?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

18 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a proportion.

First, 13 kg 500 g = 13 kg + 500 g = 13 kg + 0.5 kg = 13.5 kg

Proportion:

9 cows is to 13.5 kg as 12 cows is to x

9/13.5 = 12/x

Cross multiply.

9x = 13.5 * 12

Divide both sides by 3.

3x = 4.5 * 12

Divide both sides by 3.

x = 1.5 * 12

x = 18

Answer: 18 kg

find an equation in standard form of the parabola passing through the points (0, - 1), (1, 5), (- 1, - 5)

Answers

Answer:

The equation of the parabola in standard is [tex]y=x^{2}+5x-1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form equation of the parabola is:

[tex]y=ax^{2}+bx+c[/tex]

Using the three points we can find a, b and c.

Let's put the first point (0,-1)into the standard form equation.

[tex]-1=a(0)^{2}+b(0)+c[/tex]

[tex]c=-1[/tex]

Using the second point (1,5) and the value of c found above.

[tex]5=a(1)^{2}+b(1)+c[/tex]

[tex]5=a+b-1[/tex]

[tex]6=a+b[/tex] (1)

Finally using the las point (-1,-5)  

[tex]-5=a(-1)^{2}+b(-1)+c[/tex]

[tex]-5=a-b-1[/tex]

[tex]-4=a-b[/tex] (2)  

Solving the system of equations (1) and (2) we can find a and b.

[tex]6=a+b[/tex]

[tex]-4=a-b[/tex]

Adding both of them we have:

[tex]2=2a[/tex]

[tex]a=1[/tex]

And b = 5.

Therefore, the equation of the parabola in standard form will be.

[tex]y=x^{2}+5x-1[/tex]

Find the ratio :
1/2 hour to 45 minutes​

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 2 : 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to convert the units to minutes :

1 hr = 60 min

1/2 hr = 60 × 1/2 = 30 min

Then, you have to simplify the ratio to simplest form :

30 : 45

= (30÷15) : (45÷15)

= 2 : 3

Answer:

To see the ratio, we should have both in the same unit. We can pass 1/2 hour to minutes, as we know one hour are 60 minutes:

60/2 = 30

So we know half hour are 30 minutes.

Now, we know the ratio 30:45, but we can simplify it, as a fraction.

To simplify it, we will divide both numbers by the same quantity, in this case, divide 30 and 45 by 15 (a it's a divisor):

30/15 = 2 and 45/15 = 3, so the ratio is 30:45, which is equivalent to 2:3

If you double the radius of a circle, then you will quadruple the circumference of the circle

Answers

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

No options is attached to the question. However, I'll assume it's a true or false question.

Represent the radius with r.

The circumference is calculated as:

X = 2πr

When the radius is doubled, the new radius R is

R = 2r

And the new circumference, C is:

C = 2πR

Substitute 2r for R

C = 2π * 2r

C = 4πr

Factorize the above equation.

C = 2 * 2πr

Recall X = 2πr;

The expression becomes:

C = 2 * X

C = 2X

This means that the circumference is doubled, not quadrupled.

Hence, the statement is false.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportional relationships come in the form

[tex]y=kx[/tex]

and [tex]k[/tex] is the constant of proportionality. By comparing the general case [tex]y=kx[/tex] and your specific case [tex]y=12x[/tex], you can see that in your case [tex]k=12[/tex].

In the equation y = 12x the constant of proportionality is D. 12.

What are ratio and proportion?

A ratio is a comparison between two similar quantities in simplest form.

Proportions are of two types one is the direct proportion in which if one quantity is increased by a constant k the other quantity will also be increased by the same constant k and vice versa.

In the case of inverse proportion if one quantity is increased by a constant k the quantity will decrease by the same constant k and vice versa.

Let y = kx.

k = y/x.

Given, y = 12x.

12 = y/x.

So, the constant of proportionality is 12.

There is a difference between the two Population proportions

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given first sample size (n₁)  = 50

Given  proportion of the first sample p⁻₁= 0.2

Given second sample size (n₂)  = 50

Given proportion of the second sample p₂⁻ = 30/50 = 0.6

Null Hypothesis : H₀: p₁⁻=p₂⁻

Alternative Hypothesis : H₁: p₁⁻≠p₂⁻

Step(ii):-

        [tex]P = \frac{50X0.2+50X0.6}{50+50} = 0.4[/tex]

Z-statistic

       

      [tex]Z = \frac{0.2-0.6}{\sqrt{0.4 X 0.6(\frac{1}{50}+\frac{1}{50} } }[/tex]

     Z =  -4.089

Level of significance =0.10

Z₀.₁₀ = 1.645

Write the equation of a parabola containing the point 6,3 with vertex at 5,-3

Answers

Answer:

y = 1/3 x 2 +4 x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

y = a (x - h)2 + k

where (h,k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

here (h,k) = ( - 6, 3)

y = a ( x + 6)2 + 3

to find a substitute (12,9) into the equation

9 = 18 a + 3

18 a = 9 - 3 = 6 a = 6/18 = 1/3

y = 1/3 (x + 6)2 + 3

Believe it or not, there are some people who don't think that Duke will win the NCAA tournament this year. Let's say that you want to measure the average intelligence of Duke Doubters. Problem is you could only find 28 DDs on this whole campus. The mean of your sample was 90 and the standard deviation was 60. Calculate the 90% Confidence Interval for the IQ of DDs

Answers

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval is   [tex] 87.95   <  \mu < 92.05  [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The sample size is  [tex]n = 28[/tex]

    The  sample mean is  [tex]\= x = 90[/tex]

    The standard deviation is  [tex]s= 60[/tex]

Generally given that the sample size is not large enough i.e  n <  28 then we will make use of the t distribution table  

Generally the degree of freedom is mathematically represented as

         [tex]df = n- 1[/tex]    

=>      [tex]df = 28 - 1[/tex]  

=>      [tex]df = 2 7[/tex]

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      [tex]\alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%[/tex]

=>   [tex]\alpha = 0.10[/tex]

Generally from the student t  distribution table the critical value  of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] at a degree of freedom of [tex]df = 2 7[/tex]  is  

   [tex]t_{\frac{\alpha }{2} , 27  } =  2.052[/tex]

Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as  

      [tex]\= x -E <  \mu <  \=x  +E[/tex]

=> [tex]90  - 2.052  <  \mu < 90  + 2.052  [/tex]

Mrs. Browning bought ice cream treats for 6 children. Each child picked either a sundae or a milkshake. The sundaes cost $2 each and the milkshakes cost $5 each. If Mrs. Browning spent a total of $21, how many of each type of treat did she buy?

Answers

Answer:

3 milkshakes 3 sundaes

Step-by-step explanation:

First write the equation.

y = total cost

x = cost of sundae

z = cost of milkshake

21=2x+5z

x+z=6 or x = 6-z

substitute in x = 6-z into the first equation

21 = 2(6-z) + 5z

21 = 12 - 2z + 5z

21 = 12 + 3z

subtract 12 from both sides

21 - 12 = 12 - 12 + 3z

9 = 3z

divide both sides by 3

3 = z

so she bought 3 milkshakes.

That means x+z = 6 and z=3 so

x+ 3 = 6, then x=3 as well, so she bought 3 sundaes.

please give thanks by clicking the heart button :)

Answer:

she bought 3 sundaes and 3 milkshakes

Step-by-step explanation:

let's call the amount of milkshakes M.

let's call the amount of sundaes S.

you know that in total, there are 6 children.

so, you can make the following equation:

M + S = 6

if the milkshakes cost 5$ each, then the cost of the milkshakes can be expressed as 5m

if the sundaes cost 2$ each, then the cost of the sundaes can be expressed as 2S

you also know that Mrs. Browning spent 21$ in total.

so, you can make the following equation:

5m + 2S = 21

this is a system of equations.

using the first equation, you know that M = 6 - S

you can substitute M for 6 - S in the second equation

5m + 2s = 21

5(6 - s) + 2s = 21

30 - 5s + 2s = 21

30 - 3s = 21

30 = 21 + 3s

30 - 21 = 3s

9 = 3s

3 = s

now that you know how many sundaes there are, you can substitute that into the first equation:

m + s = 6

m + 3 = 6

m = 6 - 3

m = 3

Answers

Answer:

12,435 bats

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to figure out how many bats were produced.

First let's write the equation. Cost is $28 for each bat, and we start with fixed expenses of $58,780

y=28x + 58780

We are given y, total expenses at 406,960

so 406,960 = 28x + 58780

subtract 58780 from both sides

406,960 - 58,780 = 28x

348,180 = 28x

divide both sides by 28

12,435 = x

This means they produced 12,435 bats.
