A recipe for shepherd's pie uses 3 cups potatoes, 2 cups carrots, 1 cup onions, 1 ½ cups ground round to create enough for 6 people. If you need to feel 16 people, how many cups of carrots do you need? Use scale factors and ratios to solve this problem. Remember to show your work.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]5\frac{1}{3}[/tex] cups of carrot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up proportional equation.

6 people need 2 cups of carrots

Let 16 people need x cups of carrots.

We could form ratio for number of people to cups of carrot used as

6:2

16:x

So, proportional equation would be

[tex]\frac{2}{6} =\frac{x}{16}[/tex]

Cross multiply

32=6 x

Divide both sides by 6.

x=[tex]\frac{32}{6}[/tex]

Divide to get mixed number

x=5[tex]\frac{2}{6}[/tex]

Simplify the fraction

x=[tex]5\frac{1}{3}[/tex] cups of carrot.

Mark sold candles for three weeks. Let x represent the number of candles he sold
the first week. He sold twice the number of candles the second week as he did the
first week. In the third week, Mark sold 4 less than the number he sold the first
week. Which expression represents the total number of candles Mark sold in the
three weeks?
A.2x – 4
B.3x + 4
C.3x – 4
D.4x – 4

Plzssss SHOW YOUR WORK PLZSSS

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the first week, and he sold twice the amount so this could be represented as 1x (the first week) plus 2x (the second week since its twice the amount of the first week) and the third week can be represented as 1x-4 since its the same amount of candles sold minus 4. If you add them all together you get 1x+2x+1x-4. if you add like terms you get 4x-4. Hope this helps :)

[tex]9x- 60=10[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\frac{3}{4}x - 5 = \frac{5}{6}[/tex]

Required

Rewrite to remove fractions

The denominators in the above expression are 4 and 6.

So, first we take the LCM of 4 and 6

[tex]LCM = 12[/tex]

Next, multiply both sides of the equation by this LCM (12)

[tex]12 ( \frac{3}{4}x - 5) = \frac{5}{6} * 12[/tex]

[tex]12 * \frac{3}{4}x - 12 *5 = \frac{5}{6} * 12[/tex]

Hem dibuixat tres rectangles. En el primer, la llargada mesura 3 cm més que l'amplada. El segon i tercer rectangle tenen unes dimensions augmentades, respectivament, en 1 cm i 2 cm respecte de les dimensions del primer. Si la suma dels tres perímetres és de 162 cm, quines són les dimensions de cada rectangle?

Answers

Resposta:

Primer rectangle:

Amplada = 11

Longitud = 14

Segon rectangle:

Amplada = 12

Longitud = 15

Tercer rectangle:

Amplada = 13

Longitud = 16

Explicació pas a pas:

Donat que:

Primer rectangle:

Amplada = x

Longitud = x + 3

2n rectangle:

Augment de la dimensió d'1 cm respecte al primer rectangle;

Amplada = x + 1

Longitud = x + 4

3r rectangle:

Augment de la dimensió de 2 cm respecte al primer rectangle;

Amplada = x + 2

Longitud = x + 5

Suma dels tres perímetres del rectangle:

Perímetre d'un rectangle: 2 (l + O)

Primer rectangle:

2 (x + x + 3) = 2 (2x + 3) = 4x + 6

2n:

2 (x + 1 + x + 4) = 2 (2x + 5) = 4x + 10

3r:

2 (x + 2 + x + 5) = 2 (2x + 7) = 4x + 14

Suma de perímetres = 162

(4x + 6 + 4x + 10 + 4x + 14) = 162

12x + 30 = 162

12x = 162 - 30

12x = 130

x = 11

Per tant,

Primer rectangle:

Amplada = 11

Longitud = 11 + 3 = 14

2n rectangle:

Amplada = 11 + 1 = 12

Longitud = 11 + 4 = 15

3r rectangle:

Amplada = 11 + 2 = 13

Longitud = 11 + 5 = 16

Seth and Karen are college students who take on different jobs for income. Seth needs $750 for expenses and savings each month; Karen needs $700.
Seth has a part-time job where he earns $7.50 per hour. He also mows lawns and earns $15 per lawn that he mows. His monthly earnings can be expressed with the equation 7.50x + 15y = 750, where x is the number of hours Seth works and y is the number of lawns he mows.
Karen has a part-time job babysitting, where she earns $6 per hour. She also walks dogs and earns $4 per dog that she walks. Her monthly earnings can be expressed with the equation 6x + 4y = 700, where x is the number of hours Karen works and y is the number of dogs she walks.
Before you begin, decide with your partner who will work with Seth's information and who will work with Karen's information.
Working with the Equations
Work Separately
Each partner must change the equation that represents his or her chosen college student to slope-intercept form. Identify the slope and y-intercept of the equation. Be sure to show all your work.
Describe how you would graph this line using the slope-intercept method. Be sure to write using complete sentences.
Write the equation in function notation. Explain what the graph of the function represents. Be sure to use complete sentences.
Graph the function. On the graph, make sure to label the intercepts. You may graph your equation by hand on a piece of paper and scan your work, or you may use graphing technology.
Comparing Students
Work Together
Each partner now has an equation, function, and graph that represent the combinations of activities resulting in the income needed for each student. Compare these items and answer the following questions:
Which student, Seth or Karen, has the higher slope when the graphs of their earnings are compared? How can you tell?
Whose graph, Seth's or Karen's, has a greater y-intercept? What does that mean for this person?
If both students work 80 hours for the month, is the number of lawns Seth has to mow greater than or less than the number of dogs Karen has to walk? Justify your answer.
Karen begins charging $8 per hour for babysitting, and Seth begins earning $8 per hour. How does this change affect their graphs if everything else remains the same?

Answers

Answer:

Seth:

Equation 7.50x + 15y = 750, where x is the number of hours Seth works and y is the number of lawns he mows.

Karen:

Equation 6x + 4y = 700, where x is the number of hours Karen works and y is the number of dogs she walks.

Part A: Converting it in function for by solving for y first.

Solving 7.50x + 15y = 750, equation we get

7.50x + 15y = 750

15y = -7.50x + 750

y = -1/2x + 50

Solving 6x + 4y = 700 for y, we get

6x + 4y = 700

4y = -6x + 700

y= -3/2x + 175.

On comaring with slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we got slope for Seth equation is -1/2 and slope for Karen is -3/2.

If we take absolute of those -1/2 and -3/2 we get 1/2 and 3/2.

Therefore, Karen has the higher slope. We can see the graph that blue line has greater slope as it's increasing/decreasing with greater rate.

In function form we could write equation as

f(x) = -1/2x + 50 and

f(x) = -3/2x + 175.

Part B : y-intercept of Karen equation is 175 and y-intercept of Seth equation is 50.

Therefore, Karen has greater y-intercept.

This means Karen earns $175 by just walking dogs.

Part C: If both students work 80 hours for the month.

Let us plug x =80 in each of the equations.

y = -1/2x + 50  => y = -1/2(80) + 50 = -40 +50 = $10.

Seth would earn $10 from mowing lawn.

Therefore, the number of lawns Seth has to mow = 10/15 = 0.67 that is approximately 1 lawn.

y = -3/2x + 175  => y = -3/2(80) + 175 = -120 +175 = $55.

Karen would earn $50 from walking dog.

So, the number of dogs Karne has to walk = 55/4 = 13.75 that ia approximately 14 dogs.

Therefore, the number of lawns Seth has to mow is less than the number of dogs Karen has to walk.

Part D: If Karen begins charging $8 per hour for babysitting and Seth begins earning $8 per hour.

The equations would become : 8x + 15y = 750, 8x + 4y = 700.

It would not effect the graph much. Even the y-intercepts would remain same.

There would be a slightly change in slopes.

Answer:

y = 1/2 x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the table

X 2//4//8//10//16

Y 1//2//4//5//8

We are to find the equation that represent the table

Using the coordinates of x and y components from the table (2, 1) and (4, 2)

The standard expression for the equation is expressed as y = mx+c

m is the slope

c is the y-intercept

Get the slope;

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

m = 2-1/4-2

m = 1/2

Get the intercept c:

Substitute the point (2, 1) and the slope m = 1/2 into the expression y = mx+c

1 = 1/2(2) + c

1 = 1+c

c = 1-1

c = 0

Get the required equation

Recall that: y = mx+c

y = 1/2 x + 0

y = 1/2 x

Hence the required equation is y = 1/2 x

Two random integers, a and b, are independently chosen, with replacement, from 1 to 1000, inclusive. What is the probability that both 2^a 2^b and 3^a 3^b are multiples of 5

Answers

Answer:

The probability is zero

Step-by-step explanation:

For a number to be a multiple of 5, the number must end with either 0 or 5

These are the only numbers in which we can have 5 as a factor of

Now when we raise 2 to any number, there are only some sets of possible results

These numbers are only multiples of 2

These can be;

2, 4, 6 and 8

No root of two has its end in 0 or 5, so none has 5 has its factor

Let us now look at 3

The multiples of 3 when raised are;

3,9,1,7,

As we can see, at no point do we have 5 or 0 as the result

So since we have none of both as ending 5 or 0, the probability we are looking for is zero
