Venetta buys 2 pounds of pistachios and 3 pounds of almonds. The pistachios cost $4 more per pound than the almonds. She pays a

total of $48. Which of the following are true? Select all that apply.
A. One pound of pistachios plus 1 pound of almonds cost $20.
B. The pistachios cost twice as much per pound as the almonds.
C. Reducing the number of pounds of almonds by 1 results in a total cost of $40.
D. The cost a, in dollars, of 1 pound of almonds is modeled by 2(a – 4) + 3a = 48.
E. The cost p, in dollars, of 1 pound of pistachios is modeled by 2p + 3(p – 4) = 48.

Answer:

A. Combining one pound of pistachios with one pound of almonds costs $20.

C. Decreasing the almond quantity by one pound leads to a total price of $40.

E. The price p (in dollars) per pound of pistachios is represented by the equation 2p + 3(p – 4) = 48.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

x = cost per pound of pistachios

y = cost per pound of almonds

We know that

x = y + 4 (Equation A)

2x + 3y = 48 (Equation B)

Substitute x from Equation A into Equation B:

2(y + 4) + 3y = 48

2y + 8 + 3y = 48

5y = 48 – 8

y = 8

Find x:

x = 8 + 4 = 12

Therefore, pistachios cost $12 per pound and almonds cost $8 per pound.

Verify the statements:

Case A) One pound of each equals $20.

True, since 12 + 8 = 20.

Case B) Pistachios cost twice as much as almonds.

False, because 2 × 8 = $16 ≠ $12.

Case C) Reducing almond pounds by 1 yields $40 total.

True, as 2(12) + 2(8) = 24 +16 = 40.

Case D) The almond cost modeled by 2(a – 4) + 3a = 48.

False; it should be 2(a + 4) + 3a = 48.

Case E) The pistachio cost modeled by 2p + 3(p – 4) = 48.

True, since p = a + 4 implies a = p – 4.

Emily invests $5,000 in an

Answer:

50 years

Detailed breakdown:

Applying the simple interest formula:

PRT/100

Where P is the principal amount ($5000)

R represents the interest rate (4)

T signifies the time (x- unknown)

The total amount after time T is double the initial investment = 5000 * 2 = 10000

(5000 * 4 * x) / 100 = 10000

20000x / 100 = 10000

20000x = 100 * 10000

20000x = 1,000,000

x = 1,000,000 / 20,000

x = 50

It will require 50 years

According to the U.S. Census Bureau (2016), a substantial pay gap still exists. The average American man, with an advanced colle
Leona [4187]

Answer:

The earnings gap, over a career spanning 30 years, between men and women totals $1,200,150

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculated annually.

The typical male earns $90,761 each year.

The typical female earns $50,756 per annum.

Therefore, the annual difference is:

90,761 - 50,756 = 40,005

Across 30 years:

30*40,005 = 1,200,150

The earnings gap over a 30-year career, when comparing men and women, is $1,200,150

"A sample of 20 randomly chosen water melons was taken from a large population, and their weights were measured. The mean weight
AnnZ [3900]

Answer: (97.98, 112.020)

Step-by-step explanation: We will create a 95% confidence interval for the average weight of melons.

Given the information, we determine that the critical value for the interval needs to be retrieved from a t distribution table due to the sample size being below 30 (specifically, 20), and we are provided with the sample standard deviation (s = 15 lb).

The parameters provided are:

Sample mean = x = 105 lb

Sample standard deviation = s = 15 lb

Sample size = n = 20

To establish the 95% confidence interval, we indicate that the level of significance is 5%.

The formula for the confidence interval is:

u = x + tα/2 × s/√n... for the upper limit

u = x - tα/2 × s/√n... for the lower limit.

tα/2 represents the critical value for the test (which will be determined using the t distribution table).

To derive tα/2, we look for the value based on the degrees of freedom (sample size - 1) against the significance level for a two-tailed test (α/2 = 0.025%) in a t distribution table.

For the upper limit, we calculate:

u = 105 + 2.093×15/√20

u = 105 + 2.093× (3.3541)

u = 105 + 7.020

u = 112.020.

<pfor the="" lower="" limit="" we="" find:="">

u = 105 - 2.093×15/√20

u = 105 - 2.093× (3.3541)

u = 105 - 7.020

u = 97.98

Confidence interval (97.98, 112.020)

Robert was able to travel 292.0 miles in 4.000 hours and used 38 liters of gasoline. What was robert's speed in feet per second?
zzz [4035]

Robert covered a distance of 292 miles.

He took 4 hours to complete this journey.

Next, let's convert miles to feet.

1 mile equals 5280 feet.

Thus, 292 miles in feet equals 292 * 5280 = 1541760 feet.

Now, converting 4 hours into seconds.

1 hour translates to 3600 seconds.

Therefore, 4 hours equals 3600 * 4 = 14400 seconds.

The question asks for speed in feet per second.

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

Thus,

\frac{1541760}{14400}

is 107.067 feet per second.
