The denominator of a fraction is 5 more than the numerator. if both the numerator and denominator are increased by 3, the the resulting fraction becomes 3/4. find the original fraction.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

12/17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Numerator of the fraction = x

Denominator of the fraction = x + 5

The fraction is

x / (x + 5)

if both the numerator and denominator are increased by 3, the the resulting fraction becomes 3/4.

x + 3 / (x + 5) + 3 = 3/4

x + 3 / x + 8 = 3/4

Cross multiply

(x + 3)4 = (x + 8)3

4x + 12 = 3x + 24

4x - 3x = 24 - 12

x = 12

Recall,

x / (x + 5)

= 12 / (12 + 5)

= 12/17

The original equation = 12/17

Mike, the barista at Moose Jaw Coffee, has to mix together two kinds of coffee beans - Mocha Madness, which costs $12 a pound, and Sumatra Sweetness, which costs $20 a pound - to produce forty pounds of a coffee that costs $14 a pound. The beans in the mixture sell for the same price as they would separately. How many pounds of Mocha Madness coffee will Mike put into the mixture

Answers

Answer:

mocha madness = 30 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x =  Mocha Madness

y = Sumatra Sweetness

two equations can be derived from the question

x + y = 40 equation 1

12x + 20y = 14 x 40 equation 2

Multiply equation 1 by 12

12x + 12y = 480 eqn 3

subtract eqn 2 from 3

8y = 80

y = 10

substitute for y in equation 1

x + 10 = 40

x = 40 - 10

x = 30

8y = 180

y = 10 pounds

x = 30 pounds

Which point should Julio use to determine the amount of pizza sauce he needs to bring?
A

On a coordinate plane, a graph titled Pizza Recipe has Pizzas on the x-axis and Cups of Pizza Sauce on the y-axis. Point A is (3, 2), point B is (4, 2.6), point C is (4.5, 3), point D is (6, 4).

Answers

Answer:

The question is incomplete, but after a small search I've found that the complete question is something like:

To celebrate something, a teacher will make pizzas for the class.

There are 30 students in his class and each pizza serves 8

Julio will bring the pizza sauce. Which point should Julio use to determine the amount of pizza sauce he needs to bring?

In a graph, the vertical axis is represented with the variable y, which is defined as the dependent variable, while the horizontal axis represents the variable x, which is the independent variable.

The notation for a point in that graph is (x, y)

Here, we know that the x-axis represents the number of pizzas, and the y-axis represents the number of cups of pizza sauce needed for the x pizzas.

So, for example, the point (3, 2) means that:

for x = 3 pizzas, you need y = 2 cups of pizza sauce.

So, now let's find the number of pizzas that will feed the whole class.

There are 30 students, Each pizza serves for 8.

Then the number of pizzas needed is:

30/8 = 3.75 pizzas.

But we can round it to 4 pizzas because making a 0.75 of a pizza does not make a lot of sense.

Then we could use point B, which is (4, 2.6)

This means that, for 4 pizzas, they need 2.6 cups of pizza sauce.

So Julio should bring 2.6 cups of pizza sauce.

Which point should Julio use to determine the amount of pizza sauce he needs to bring?

What is the slope of the function? Then changed the line so it had a slope of 2, but still went through the same point. Which equation should Alejandra write to represent the new line?

Answers

Complete question is;

Alejandra correctly wrote the equation y – 3 = (1/5) (x – 10) to represent a line that her teacher sketched. The teacher then changed the line so it had a slope of 2, but still went through the same point. Which equation should Alejandra write to represent the new line?

Answer:

y – 3 = 2(x – 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the original line is;

y – 3 = (1/5) (x – 10)

This means the slope is 1/5 and the x and y coordinates are (10, 3) respectively.

Now, if she changes the slope to 2 and it still passed through the same point, then it means it's x and y points are still (10, 3). Thus, the equation will now be;

y – 3 = 2(x – 10)

A rectangular field is to be fenced off, and then divided in two by a fence running parallel to one of the sides. If 996 meters of fencing can be used, find the dimensions of the field that will maximize the total area, and then find the maximum area. List the smaller dimension first.

Answers

Solution :

Maximize, S = xy

subject to 2x + 2y = 996

So,

2x + 2y = 996

2(x + y) = 996

x + y = 498

y = 498 - x

Therefore,

S = x (498 - x)

S = 498x - [tex]x^2[/tex]

S = [tex]-x^2 + 498x[/tex]

[tex]$S = -(x^2-498x + 249^2) + 300^2$[/tex]

[tex]$S= -(x-249)^2 + 249^2$[/tex]

S = x (498 - x)

S = 498x - [tex]x^2[/tex]

[tex]$\frac{dS}{dx}= 498 - 2x$[/tex]

[tex]$\frac{dS}{dx}= 0$[/tex]

498 - 2x = 0

2x = 498

x = 249

∴ y = 498 - x

  y = 498 - 249

     = 249

Answer:

A = 249 x 249 = 62001 square meter.

Side is L = 249 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the fence is 996 m.

Let the length is L and the width is W.

Perimeter = 2 (L + W)

996 = 2 (L + W)

498 = L + W

L = 498 - W ...... (1)

Let the area is

A = L W

A = (498 - W) W

A = 498 W - W^2

Differentiate with respect to W.

dA/dW = 498 - 2 W

Put it equal to zero.

498 - 2 W = 0

W = 249 m

Now, L = 498 - 249 = 249 m

Differentiate with respect to W again

[tex]\frac{d^2A}{dW^2} = - 2[/tex]

As it is negative so the area is maximum.  

The maximum area is

A = 249 x 249 = 62001 square meter.

Side is L = 249 m

Find the equation of a line perpendicular to 8x - 2y = 4 and passes through the point (4, 3).

Answers

y = -2x-3

Lines that are perpendicular have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other. Meaning, if a line has slope  , then a line perpendicular to this has slope . That means the slope of our perpendicular line is

The equation of the line that is perpendicular to 8x - 2y = 4 and passes through the point (4, 3) is y = (-1/4)x + 4.

To find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line 8x - 2y = 4 and passes through the point (4, 3), we can use the fact that the slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.

First, let's rewrite the given equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m represents the slope:

8x - 2y = 4

-2y = -8x + 4

Divide both sides by -2:

y = 4x - 2

The slope of the given line is 4.

The slope of a line perpendicular to this line would be the negative reciprocal of 4, which is -1/4.

Now, we have the slope (-1/4) and a point (4, 3). We can use the point-slope form of a linear equation:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Substituting the values, we have:

y - 3 = (-1/4)(x - 4)

Expanding and simplifying, we get:

y - 3 = (-1/4)x + 1

Adding 3 to both sides, we have:

y = (-1/4)x + 4

10 cent, 20 cent and 50 cent coins. What is the SMALLEST
number of these coins you would need to make 89 cents?

Answers

To find the smallest amount of coins needed, we start taking the coins with the biggest value until we get to the desired value.

Doing this, we get that the smallest number of coins is: 6

89 cents:

89 is more than 50 cents, but less than 50*2 = 100, so 1 50 cent coin is needed, which leaves 89 - 50 = 39 cents remaining.39 is more than 20 cents, but less than 20*2 = 40, so 1 20 cent coin is needed, which leaves 39 - 20 = 19 cents remaining.19 is more than 10 cents, but less than 10*2 = 20, so 1 10 cent coin is needed, which leaves 19 - 10 = 9 cents remaining.9 is more than 5 cents, but less than 5*2 = 10, so 1 5 cent coin is needed, which leaves 9 - 5 = 4 cents remaining.The remaining 4 cents are achieved with 2 2 cent coins.

Thus, the smallest amount of coins needed is 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 6.

How to find interquartilte range

Answers

Answer:  Choice C) 8.5

============================================================

Explanation:

Each x represents a data point location.

So, for example, having an x over 60 means 60 is part of the set.

The set of values we're working with is

{59,60,61,63,63,64,66,68,70,71,71,73}

The repeated values are due to the fact we have a stack of two 'x' markers, and they occur at 63 and 71.

To find the IQR (interquartile range), we'll first need to find the median of this set. That's the middle most value.

Count out the number of values to find that there are n = 12 values.

The list splits into two halves that are n/2 = 12/2 = 6 items each

Between slots 6 and 7 is where the median is located.

The value in slot 6 is 64 and the value in slot 7 is 66. Average those two items to get (64+66)/2 = 65

The median is 65

---------------------------------

Next, we'll form two groups L and U such that

L = set of items lower than the median

U = set of items larger than the median

Because n is even, we simply just break the original set into two equal groups (6 items each)

L = {59,60,61,63,63,64}

U = {66,68,70,71,71,73}

The values of Q1 and Q3 represent the medians of L and U in that order.

The median of set L is (61+63)/2 = 62, so Q1 = 62

The median of set U is (70+71)/2 = 70.5, which is Q3

-----------------------------------

To summarize everything so far, we have found

Q1 = 62Q3 = 70.5

Subtract those items to get the IQR

IQR = Q3 - Q1

IQR = 70.5 - 62

IQR = 8.5 which points us to choice C as the final answer.
