Answer:

Margo should transfer 2 pounds of clay to Tim while Lila gives 1 pound to Tim, resulting in everyone possessing 13 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Provided information:

Margo possesses 15 pounds of clay.

Tim has 10 pounds of clay.

Tray holds 13 pounds of clay.

Lila carries 14 pounds of clay.

Jerry owns 13 pounds of clay.

In total, there is 65 pounds of clay among them.

Given that there are 5 participants, each person should receive 65/5 = 13 pounds of clay.

Margo will transfer 2 pounds to Tim, reducing his amount to 12, and then Lila will give 1 pound to Tim so that everyone ends up with 13 pounds.

Margo gives 2 clay to Tim Lila Gives 1 to time so that everyone will have 13.

Combine all the clay and divide by 5 to find out the correct amount, which is 13.

At Laurita’s Bakery, 3/5 of the baked goods are pies, and the rest are cakes. 1/3 of the pies are coconut. 1/6 of the cakes are
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

Part a) The fraction of coconut pies among all the baked goods at Laurita’s Bakery is 1/5

Part b) The fraction of angel food cakes among the baked goods at Laurita’s Bakery is 1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> total baked goods

It is known that

1) 3/5 of the goods are pies while the remainder are cakes

To find the quantity of pies, we multiply the total baked goods by 3/5

The quantity of pies is ----> (3/5)x

To find the number of cakes, we subtract the pies from total baked goods

The number of cakes is -----> x-(3/5)x=(2/5)x

2) 1/3 of the pies consist of coconut

To calculate the number of coconut pies, multiply the pies by 1/3

The number of coconut pies is -----> (3/5)x(1/3)=(3/15)x=(1/5)x

3) 1/6 of the cakes are angel food

To calculate the number of angel food cakes, multiply the cakes by 1/6

The number of angel food cakes is -----> (2/5)x(1/6)=(2/30)x=(1/15)x

Part a) What fraction of all of Laurita’s Bakery baked goods are coconut pies?

It is known that

The amount of coconut pies is (1/5)x (refer to Part 2)

To determine the fraction, divide the coconut pies by the total baked goods

\frac{(1/5)x}{x}=\frac{1}{5}

consequently

The fraction of all baked goods at Laurita’s Bakery that are coconut pies is 1/5

Part b) What fraction of all of Laurita’s Bakery baked goods are angel food cakes?

It is known that

The total number of angel food cakes is (1/15)x (refer to Part 3)

To find the fraction, divide the number of angel food cakes by the total baked goods

\frac{(1/15)x}{x}=\frac{1}{15}

therefore

The fraction of all baked goods at Laurita’s Bakery that are angel food cakes is 1/15

Assume that TUV=WXY which of the following congruence statements are correct
Zina [12379]

Answer:

The correct options are A and E.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are presented with two congruent triangles.

When two triangles are congruent, their corresponding sides and angles are identical.

In ΔTUV ≅ ΔWXY

We can now list all matching sides and angles:

  • ∠T=∠W
  • ∠U=∠X
  • ∠V=∠Y
  • TU≅WX
  • UV≅XY
  • TV≅WY

Next, we evaluate all the provided options.

∠Y=∠V (TRUE, as this is a corresponding part of the congruent triangles)

∠W=∠T (TRUE, as this also refers to a corresponding part of the congruent triangles)

Thus, A and E are the correct options.

Algebra There were 4 times the number of students in fourth grade at the basketball game.How many students attended the basketba
babunello [11817]

Answer:

A total of 200 students were present at the basketball game

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the full question shown in the attached figure

Let

x be the total number of fourth graders

y represent the total attendees at the game

It is known that

The number of game attendees is four times the number of fourth graders

Thus

The linear expression is

s=4x -----> equation A

x=50\ students\ in\ fourth\ grade -----> equation B

Replace equation B into equation A and solve for y

s=4(50)

s=200\ students\ at\ the\ basketball\ game

Therefore

200 students were present at the basketball event

An international polling agency estimates that 36 percent of adults from Country X were first married between the ages of 18 and
Leona [12618]

Answer:

(B) 0.2843

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the difference in proportions between Country X and Country Y for adults who first married from ages 18 to 32.

The hypotheses can be stated as

H_{0}: d=0.15

H_{a}: d<0.15

The test statistic can be computed with the formula

z=\frac{p1-p2-0.15}{\sqrt{{p*(1-p)*(\frac{1}{n1} +\frac{1}{n2}) }}} where

  • p1 corresponds to the sample proportion from Country X (0.36)
  • p2 corresponds to the sample proportion from Country Y (0.26)
  • p indicates the pooled proportion of p1 and p2 (\frac{60*0.36+50*0.26}{50+60}=0.31)
  • n1 is the sample size from Country X (60)
  • n2 is the sample size from Country Y (50)

Thus, z=\frac{0.36-0.26-0.15}{\sqrt{{0.31*0.69*(\frac{1}{60} +\frac{1}{50}) }}} is approximately 0.5646

The p-value for this test statistic is approximately 0.2843

The p-value indicates the likelihood that the difference in proportions between a random sample of 60 adults from Country X and a sample of 50 adults from Country Y who were first married at ages 18 to 32 is at least 0.15.
