Gavin's dog had a litter of puppies. All of the puppies in this litter were either yellow or black. If there was one less black puppy, the ratio of yellow puppies to black puppies would be 2/3. If there was one more black puppy, the ratio of yellow puppies to black puppies would be 1/2. How many puppies were in the litter?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Total number of puppies in the litter = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of yellow puppies in the litter = y

And the number of black puppies in the litter = b

If there was one less black puppy, ratio of yellow to black puppies = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{y}{b-1}=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

2(b - 1) = 3y

3y - 2b = -2 -----(1)

If there was one more black puppy, ratio of yellow puppies to black puppies = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{y}{b+1}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

2y = b + 1

2y - b = 1 -------(2)

Equation (1) - 2× equation (2)

(3y - 2b) - 2(2y - b) = -2 - 2

3y - 4y - 2b + 2b = -4

y = 4

From equation (1),

3×4 - 2b = -2

12 - 2b = -2

-2b = -14

b = 7

Total number of puppies in the litter = 7 + 4 = 11

It is believed that 11% of all Americans are left-handed. A college needs to know how many left-handed desks to place in the big lecture halls being constructed on its campus. In a random sample of 290 students from that college, whether or not a student was left-handed was recorded for each student. The college wants to know if the data provide enough evidence to show that students at this college have a different percentage of left-handers than the general American population? State the random variable, population parameter, and hypotheses. State the Type I and Type II errors in the context of this problem.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable (x) here would be a randomly selected student from the college that is left-handed.The population parameter would be 11% of America's total population. The total population as of 2019 is believed to be 328.2 million, and 11% of that figure is about 36.1 million (thirty-six million one hundred thousand).Hypotheses: Remember, the null hypothesis usually reflects the held view of the researcher, and since we are told the college wants to know if the data provide enough evidence to show that students at this college have a different percentage of left-handers than the general American population. It could read; There is a statistically significant difference in the percentage of left-handers in the college than the American population. While the alternate hypothesis could read; There is no statistically significant difference in the percentage of left-handers in the college than the American population.The Type I error implies rejecting the null hypothesis when it is actually true. That is: Rejecting that the % of all students from that college that are left-handed is 11 % when the % is really 11 %.The Type II error implies accepting the null hypothesis when it is actually false. That is: Failing to reject that the % of all students from that college that are left-handed is 11 % when the % is actually different.

rico bought 3.4 pounds of coffee that cost $6.95 per pound how much did he spend on coffee?
estimate: 18-28, 22-38, 36-50, or 8-18
solution: ??

Answers

Answer:

$23.63

Step-by-step explanation:

Your just adding decimals if I understood the question. So basically you just multiply 6.95 by 3 which gets you 20.85.

And then you divide 6.95 by 10 which is .695, and then multiply that by 4 which gets you to 2.78.

So now you just add those two up

20.85 + 2.78 = 23.63

10^-23 grams. How many times the mass of the
hydrogen atom is the mass of the oxygen atom? Give
your answer in scientific notation.
HELP

Answers

Answer:

Atomic mass unit-

It is represented by ‘amu’. It is equal to the quantity 1/12th mass of an atom of C-12.

Actual mass of one atom of C-12 = 1.9924 x 10-23 gm. = 1.9924 x 10-26 Kg.

1 amu = 1.9924 x 10 -23/12 = 1.66 x 10 -24 gm. = 1.66 x 10 -27 Kg.

Atomic mass of an element = mass of one atom of the element / 1 amu

Actual mass of an element = atomic mass of an element in amu x 1.66 x 10 -24 gm.

For ex-

Actual mass of hydrogen atom = 1.008 x 1.66 x 10 -24 gm. = 1.6736 x 10-24 gm.

Actual mass of oxygen atom = 16.00 x 1.66 x 10 -24 gm. = 2.656 x 10-23 gm.

Average Atomic weight (Mass)-

“The Average Atomic Masses of many elements are determined by multiplying the atomic mass of each isotope by its fractional abundance and adding these values and then dividing it by 100.”

Ex.- Naturally occurring carbon contains three isotopes – C12 (98.892 % abundance), C13 (1.108 % abundance), C14 (2 x 10-10 % abundance).The relative atomic masses of these isotopes are 12.000, 13.00335 and 14.00317 amu respectively.

Average atomic mass = % of I isotope x its atomic mass + % of II isotope x its atomic mass +% of III isotope x its atomic mass/100

= 12 x 98.892 + 13.00335 x 1.108 + 14.00317 x 2 x10-10 /100

Average atomic mass= 12.011 amu

Molar volume –

Molar volume of a substance is volume occupied by 1 mole of that substance .

Molar volume of solid or liquid = molar mass / density

Molar volume of ideal gas at 00C or 273 K and 1 atmosphere pressure is 22.4 litre.

Gram atomic mass(weight) or gram atom –

“Gram atomic mass(weight) of an element is the mass of Avogadro number ( 6.023 x 1023 ) of atoms of that elements in grams.”

Ex –

mass of 1 atom of oxygen = 16 amu = 16 x 1.66 x 10-24 gm

Mass of 6.023 x 1023 atoms of oxygen= 16 x 6.023 x 1023 x 1.66 x 10-24 = 16 gm.

Hence, Gram atomic weight of oxygen = 16 gm.

No. of gram atoms = mass of element in gm / atomic mass of element in gm.

You drop a seashell into the ocean from a height of 40 feet. Write an equation that models the height h in feet) of the seashell above the water after seconds. How long is the seashell in the air? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

t=1.58 seconds

Explanation:

The equation which models the height h of the seashell above water after t seconds

Height of seashell above water after t seconds; h = 40 - 8t²

Time that seashell is in air; t = 1.58 s

The sea shell is dropped under gravity and thus, from Newton's equations of motion, we know that height/distance is;

S = ut + ½gt²

Since it was dropped from a height and not the ground, then;

h = height of shell from ground

h_o = height from which the shell was dropped.

Thus, we have;

h - h_o = ut + ½gt²

We are told that the seashell was dropped into the ocean from a height of 40 ft. Thus;

h_o = 40 ft

It was dropped from rest and so; u = 0 ft/s

Acceleration due to gravity is; g = -32ft/s² (since it is free fall)

Thus;

h - 40 = 0(t) + ½(-32t²)

h = 40 - 8t²

The time that the seashell in the air will be after it has hit the surface which will be when h = 0.

Thus;

0 = 40 - 16t²

16t² = 40

t² = 40/16

t² = 2.5

t = √2.5

t = 1.58 s

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of an equilateral triangle is calculated as

A = [tex]\frac{s^2\sqrt{3} }{4}[/tex]  ( s is the side length )

Here s = 16, thus

A = [tex]\frac{16^2\sqrt{3} }{4}[/tex]

Line segment AB is shown on a coordinate grid: A coordinate grid is shown from positive 6 to negative 6 on the x-axis and from positive 6 to negative 6 on the y-axis. A line segment AB is shown with A as ordered pair 1, 3 and B as ordered pair 5, 3. The line segment is rotated 270 degrees counterclockwise about the origin to form A′B′. Which statement describes A′B′? (5 points) A′B′ is parallel to AB. A′B′ is half the length of AB. A′B′ and AB are equal in length. A′B′ is greater than twice the length of AB.

Answers

Answer:

A′B′ and AB are equal in length.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the location of the points are at A(1, 3) and B(5, 3).

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are reflection, rotation, translation and dilation.

Rigid transformation are transformation that preserves the shape and size when performed. Types of rigid transformation are reflection, rotation, translation.

Hence if AB is rotated 270 degrees counterclockwise about the origin to form A′B′, both A′B′ and AB are equal in length because rotation is a rigid transformation.

If A(x,y) is rotated 270 degrees counterclockwise about the origin, it becomes A'(y,-x).

Hence if AB is rotated 270 degrees counterclockwise about the origin to form A'(3, -1), B'(3, -5)

[tex]AB=\sqrt{(5-1)^2+(3-3)^2} =4\\\\A'B'=\sqrt{(3-3)^2+(-5-(-1))^2}=4,[/tex]

Supplementary means it has to equal 180 all together so 180-26=154.
The other angle is 154 degrees
When an angle is supplementary, it means that they combine to 180 degrees. If you know that and the angle measure of the other angle, you can set up the equation 180=angle1+angle2. For this problem, the equation would be 180=26+angle2. Subtract 26 from both sides, and you get that the second angle is 154 degrees.
