Answer:

17/4 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Sunita initially has = 10kg of grapes

Amount distributed:

To Reena =3 1/2 kg

7/2 kg

To Anita =2 1/4 kg

9/4 kg

Total grapes given away

7/2+9/4

(14+9)/4

23/4 kg

The remaining grapes after distribution = Total grapes first minus grapes given away

10/1 - 23/4

(40-23)/4

= 17/4 or 4 1/4

Thus, she retains 17/4 kg of grapes

<span> The absolute value function exhibits symmetry. Given that the coordinates (–6, –2) and (0, –2) produce the same output, the points are equidistant from the line of symmetry.

A box has 14 camera of which 6 are refurbished and 8 are new. If four of these 14 cameras are selected at random without replace
Leona [12618]

Answer:

160/1001, 175/1001

Step-by-step explanation:

i) We calculate:

₈C₁ methods to select 1 new camera from a selection of 8

₆C₃ methods to select 3 refurbished cameras from a selection of 8

₁₄C₄ methods to select 4 cameras from the total of 14 cameras

The probability formula is:

P = ₈C₁ ₆C₃ / ₁₄C₄

P = 8×20 / 1001

P = 160 / 1001

P ≈ 0.160

ii) For at most one new camera, it means we want either one new camera or none at all. We've calculated the probability of selecting one new camera already. The probability of not selecting any new camera is equivalent to selecting 4 refurbished cameras:

P = ₆C₄ / ₁₄C₄

P = 15 / 1001

Therefore, the combined probability is:

P = 160/1001 + 15/1001

P = 175/1001

P ≈ 0.175

Thomas invested $8,500 for one year. Part of the money was invested at6% and the rest at 9%. The total interest earned was $667.
Zina [12379]
Let x represent the amount invested at 6% and y the amount at 9%.
The equation x+y=8,500 leads to x=8500-y.
For the interest rates, we know 6%=0.06 and 9%=0.09.
The equation becomes 0.06x + 0.09y=667.5 (substituting for x to use only y).
Expanding yields: 0.06(8500-y)+0.09y=667.5.
Solving this gives us 510-0.06y+0.09y=667.5 (-510).
This simplifies to 0.03y=117.5 (/0.03), yielding y=$3916.67 for the 9% investment.
Thus, X=8500-Y results in x=$4583.33 for the 6% investment.

A storage closet holds twelve boxes stacked upon each other, with each box being 10 inches high. How many feet are there between
babunello [11817]

Answer: 5

Explanation step-by-step: There are six boxes stacked between the top of the third box and the bottom of the tenth box.

Since each box measures 10 inches in height, the combined height of these six boxes is 60 inches.

Given that 12 inches equals 1 foot,

60 inches corresponds to 5 feet.

How to find the answer:

Let "y" represent the unknown length in feet.

12 inches = 1 foot

60 inches = y

Using cross multiplication:

> 12 × y = 60 × 1

> 12y = 60

Divide both sides by 12 to solve for "y":

> 12y ÷ 12 = 60 ÷ 12

After simplification, we get:

> y = 5

AREA, PERIMETER &amp; VOLUME QUESTION

1. Selected Case B. 2. 9 cm³. 3. 20 cm. 4. 4.5 m³. Explanation: In question 1, we need to fit a drum with a volume of 14,000 cm³. The volume of a cylinder can be calculated via the formula πr²h. For Case A, with r = 100 mm (10 cm) and h = 300 mm (30 cm), the total volume is approximately 9424.78 cm³, insufficient for the given drum. Case B, with r = 200 mm (20 cm) and h = 30 cm, gives a volume of approximately 37699.11 cm³. Case C with r = 32 cm and h = 250 mm (25 cm) results in a volume of about 80424.77 cm³. The smallest volume among Cases B and C is Case B at 37699.11 cm³, thus it is the correct choice. For question 2, the dimensions of the speaker are Length = 45 cm = 0.45 m, Width = 0.4 m, Height = 50 cm = 0.5 m, leading to a volume of 0.09 m³ or 9 cm³. Question 3 involves a speaker with a volume of 30,000 cm³ with Length = 30 cm = 0.45 m and Height = 500 mm = 50 cm, requiring to find its Width: 30,000 = 30 × W × 50, hence W = 20 cm. For question 4, with dimensions of Base = 2 m, Length = 3 m, Height =1.5 m, the volume of the prism is calculated as 4.5 m³.
