A librarian wants to spend no more than $800 on some new desks and chairs for the library. The librarian decides to spend $320 on desks. If each chair costs $24, what is the maximum number of chairs the librarian can buy for the library and stay within the budget?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

20 chairs

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the amount total budget and the total amount for the desks then the only variable missing is the maximum amount of chairs. This can be solved with the following equation in which s represents the number of chairs, and we simply solve for s.

800 = 320 + 24s  ... subtract both sides by 300

500 = 24s ... divide both sides by 24

20.83 = s

Now we see that the maximum number of chairs that the librarian can buy is 20 because 21 would make her go over the budget and you cannot have 0.83 of a chair.

Answer 2

Answer:

The librarian can buy a maximum of 20 chairs to stay within the budget.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total budget is:

T = 800

From that budget, he spends 320 on desks (D), so he has the remaining amount to buy chairs (C):

[tex] C = 800 - 320 = 480 [/tex]

Since each chair costs 24, and he has 480 he can buy the following number of chairs:

[tex] n = \frac{C}{24} = \frac{480}{24} = 20 [/tex]

Therefore, the librarian can buy a maximum of 20 chairs to stay within the budget.

I hope it helps you!

1) $195
2) $207
3) $238
4) $285
What’s the answer?

Answers

Answer:

$207

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Data:

X : Distance From Times Square (city blocks)

Y: Cost of a Room (dollars) (y)

The linear regression model generated for the data :

y = -7.8x + 246.3

y = predicted variable ; - 7. 8 = slope of model ; x = predictor variable ; 246.3 = intercept

Using the model:

The cost of a Room 5 block away :

x = 5

y = -7.8(5) + 246.3

y = - 39 + 246.3

y = $207.3

good luck and hope this helped a bit!

The correct answers for the given problem are: (a) The distance travelled on the cycle in the first 14 seconds is 96 m and (b)The acceleration in the first 4 seconds is 2 m/s².

How to find the area under a graph?

The area under a graph can be found by dividing the graph into equal intervals of very small width and then find the area of the rectangle for each intervals. After summing all the areas of rectangles the area under the graph can be approximated.

The velocity time graph given in the problem can be used to find the distance travelled.

The distance travelled in first 14 seconds is equal to the area of the graph from t = 0 to t = 14.

This area consists of a triangle of height h = 8 and base b = 4 and a rectangle of length l = 8 and width b = (14 - 4) = 10.

Now, the total area is given as,

1/2 × b × h + l × b

= 1/2 × 4 × 8 + 8 × 10

= 16 + 80

= 96

(b) The acceleration is given as the rate change of velocity with respect to time.

The acceleration in first 4 seconds is given as,

a = (8 - 0)/4

   = 2

Hence, the distance travelled in first 14 seconds and acceleration in first 4 seconds is given as 96 m and 2 m/s² respectively.

Alex has 64 cubes with dimensions in feet (ft), like the one shown. He uses all the cubes to fill a box shaped like a larger rectangular prism. There are no gaps between the cubes. Part B: If there are 64 of these cubes in the larger prism, then what is the volume, in cubic feet, of the larger rectangular prism?

Answers

Answer:

The volume, in cubic feet, of the larger rectangular prism is 64 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of small cube =[tex]\frac{1}{2} ft[/tex]

Volume of each cube = Side^3

Volume of each cube =[tex](\frac{1}{2})^3[/tex]

                                    =[tex]\frac{1}{8} ft^3[/tex]

Volume of 64 cubes = [tex]64 \times \frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Volume of 64 cubes [tex]= 8 ft^3[/tex]

We are given that He uses all the cubes to fill a box shaped like a larger rectangular prism.

So, Volume of 64 cubes = Volume of rectangular prism

So, If there are 64 of these cubes in the larger prism, then the volume, in cubic feet, of the larger rectangular prism is 64 cubic feet

(use x as the variable) When entering your answers use only numbers a lower case x and No spaces The equation that represents this scenario is The shipping and handling for 2 packages would be dollars. (only put the number please)​

Answers

Answer:

The expression to represent the total shipping costs for x package is 6x.

Tommy will pay $ 12 in shipping and handling for 2 packages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the shipping and handling charge for 1 package = $ 6

So, by using the elementary method, the shipping and handling charge for x package is $ 6x.

Hence, the required expression to represent the total shipping costs for x package is 6x.

For 2 package, x=2

So, the shipping and handling charge for 2 package

=6x2

=12.

So, Tommy will pay $ 12 in shipping and handling for 2 packages.

The lifetime in months of a transistor in a certain application is random with probability density function:


f(x) = {0.4e^-0.4x, x>0 0, x<0


a. Compute the mean lifetime.

b. Compute the standard deviation of the lifetimes.

c. Compute the cumulative distribution function of the lifetime.

d. Compute the probability that the lifetime will be less than 6 months.

e. Compute the 60^th percentile of the lifetime.

Answers

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability density function of lifetime in months of a transistor in a certain application is:

[tex]f(x)=0.4\cdot e^{-0.4x};x>0[/tex]

The probability density function suggests that the random variable X follows a exponential function with parameter λ = 0.4.

(a)

Compute the mean lifetime as follows:

[tex]\mu=\frac{1}{\lambda}=\frac{1}{0.40}=2.5[/tex]

Thus, the mean lifetime is 2.5 months.

(b)

Compute the standard deviation of the lifetimes as follows:

[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{1}{\lambda^{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{0.40^{2}}}=2.5[/tex]

Thus, the standard deviation of the lifetimes is 2.5 months.

(c)

The cumulative distribution function of the lifetime is:

[tex]CDF=1-e^{-0.40x}[/tex]

(d)

Compute the probability that the lifetime will be less than 6 months as follows:

[tex]P(X<6)=\int\limits^{6}_{0} {0.40\cdot e^{-0.40x}} \, dx[/tex]

               [tex]=0.40\times [\frac{e^{-0.40x}}{-0.40}]^{6}_{0}\\\\=-1\times [e^{-0.40\times6}-e^{-0.40\times0}]\\\\=-0.090718+1\\\\=0.909282\\\\\approx 0.9093[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the lifetime will be less than 6 months is 0.9093.

(e)

Compute the 60th percentile of the lifetime as follows:

[tex]P(X<x)=0.60\\\\\int\limits^{x}_{0} {0.40\cdot e^{-0.40x}} \, dx=0.60\\\\0.40\times [\frac{e^{-0.40x}}{-0.40}]^{x}_{0}=0.60\\\\-1\times [e^{-0.40\times x}-e^{-0.40\times0}]=0.60\\\\1-e^{-0.40x}=0.60\\\\e^{-0.40x}=0.40\\\\-0.40x=\ln(0.40)\\\\-0.40x=-0.916291\\\\x=2.2907275\\\\x\approx 2.3[/tex]

Thus, the 60th percentile of the lifetime is 2.3 months.

what are the solutions of the equation below
(x-2)(x+9)=0

Answers

Answer: {2, -9}

Step-by-step explanation: Think of these two binomials, x -2 and x + 9,

as two numbers that are multiplying together to equal zero.

In order for two numbers to multiply together to equal zero,

either one number or the other number must equal zero.

So for two binomials to multiply together to equal zero,

either one binomial or the other binomial must equal zero.

So we can split this problem up into two parts.

If (x - 2)(x + 9) = 0, then either x - 2 = 0 or x + 9 = 0.

On the left, add 2 to both sides and we have x = 2.

On the right, subtract 9 from both sides and we have x = -9.

For our final answer we use set notation.

So our answer is {2, -9}.

Answer:

2 and -9

Step-by-step explanation:

x-2=0

x=2

x+9=0

The data are continuous because the data can take on any value in an interval. D. The data are continuous because the data can only take on specific values.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is:

The data are continuous because the data can take on any value in an interval. (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Discrete data are data that can take on certain limited values. There is a limit to what values can be assigned to such data. For example, the number of children in a school will just be whole numbers, either 20 or 50 or 55 or 108, etc, you cannot have 100.5 children. This makes it limited to the values it can take on, hence it is discrete

Continuous data, on the other hand, are data that can take on any value within a scale. The possibility of assigning a value is unlimited. for example height. The height can be 3m, 3.8m, 4.57m, etc, there's no limit to the possibility that a height can take. Other examples are; temperature, weight, acceleration, volume etc. In this example the volume of a room in cubic feet can be 30ft³, 50.6ft³, etc. The possibilities are endless, hence it is a continuous data.
