A woman drives an SUV that gets 14 mi/gal (mpg). Her husband drives a hybrid that gets 65 mpg. Every week, they travel the same

number of miles. They want to improve their combined mpg. They have two options on how they can improve it.
Option 1: They can tune the SUV and increase it mileage by 2 mpg and keep the hybrid as it is.

Option 2: They can buy a new hybrid that gets 85 mpg and keep the SUV as it is.

Compute the combines mpg for each option.

Option 1 Answer? : Option 2 Answer? :

(round to one decimal place as needed.

Answer:

Option 1 is preferable

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s denote the distance covered by the woman as x. Therefore, the total distance they travel collectively is 2*x.

The gallons used would be calculated as x/14 for the SUV in its initial condition.

.

The combined miles per gallon would be computed by dividing the total mileage by the total gallons consumed. For the initial scenario:  

\frac{2*x}{\frac{x}{14}+\frac{x}{65}}

\frac{2*x}{\frac{79}{910}*x}

\frac{2*910}{79}

23 \; mpg

For Option 1:

\frac{2*x}{\frac{x}{16}+\frac{x}{65}}

\frac{2*x}{\frac{81}{1040}*x}

\frac{2*1040}{81}

25.7 \; mpg

For Option 2:

\frac{2*x}{\frac{x}{14}+\frac{x}{85}}

\frac{2*x}{\frac{99}{1190}*x}

\frac{2*1190}{99}

24 \; mpg

To tackle this problem, you can use the same method from the prior situation.

Option 1: 2/(1/16 + 1/65) = 25.7 mpg

Option 2: 2/(1/14 + 1/85) = 24.0 mpg

Like before, enhancing the least efficient vehicle yields the best outcome.

A photocopy machine can reduce copies to 80% of their original size. By copying an already reduced copy, further reductions can
PIT_PIT [9121]

Part a) When a page is scaled down to 80%, how much enlargement is necessary to bring it back to its original size?

Let

x---------> the percent enlargement

Given the original size is 100%

This means:

x*80%=100%

x=(100%/80%)

x=1.25--------> 1.25=(125/100)=125%

Thus,

The answer to Part a) is

The percent enlargement required is 125%

Part b) Estimate how many successive copies of a page are needed to make the final copy less than 15% of its original size.

Since the photocopy machine reduces sizes to 80% of the original

Therefore:

Copy N 1

0.80*100%=80%

Copy N 2

0.80*80%=64%

Copy N 3

0.80*64%=51.2%

Copy N 4

0.80*51.2%=40.96%

Copy N 5

0.80*40.96%=32.77%

Copy N 6

0.80*32.77%=26.21%

Copy N 7

0.80*26.21%=20.97%

Copy N 8

0.80*20.97%=16.78%

Copy N 9

0.80*16.78%=13.42%-------------> 13.42% < 15%

Therefore,

The answer to Part b) is

The necessary number of copies to achieve this is 9

1-i need to mix 25% mineral spirits to the varnish i am using what ratio of spirit to varnish am i using? 2-if i use 240 ml of v
Svet_ta [9518]

Answer:

(1) The necessary proportion of spirit to varnish stands at 1:3.

(2) A total of 80 ml of mineral spirit is required.

(3) The ratio of the heights to the widths of the tapestries is 3:2.

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) To achieve a mixture containing 25% mineral spirit, the blend consists of 25% spirit and 75% varnish.

Therefore, \frac{spirit}{varnish}=\frac{25}{75}

=\frac{1}{3}

Consequently, the proportion of spirit to varnish is 1:3.

(2) Using 240ml of varnish indicates this is 75% of the entire solution, which means the ratio of varnish to the total solution is 3:4.

Let the total solution quantity be x.

Thus, 240:x=3:4.

⇒\frac{240}{x}=\frac{3}{4}

⇒3x=240*4

⇒x=\frac{240*4}{3}

⇒x=320

This means the total solution amounts to 320 ml.

Now, calculating Spirit = Total solution - Varnish

⇒Spirit = 320ml-240ml

⇒Spirit = 80ml

Therefore, when using 240 ml of varnish, you will require 80 ml of mineral spirit.

(3) The dimensions of Robison's tapestries are uniform at 1.5m in length and 1m in width. Initially, to obtain whole numbers, we multiply these dimensions by 10.

Thus, the dimensions become 15m long and 10m wide.

Now, the proportion of Height to Width is 15:10

⇒\frac{Height}{Width} =\frac{15}{10}

⇒\frac{Height}{Width} =\frac{3}{2}

Thus, the proportion of the heights of the tapestries to their widths is 3:2.

Twenty percent of adults in a particular community have at least a​ bachelor's degree. Suppose x is a binomial random variable
tester [8842]
This scenario relates to binomial probability, where the results can either be a success or a failure. A success indicates that a selected adult possesses a bachelor's degree. Consequently, the success probability, denoted as p, is 20/100 = 0.2. The number of adults in the sample, represented as n, equals 100, and x, the count of successes, is 60. The probability of having more than 60 adults with a bachelor's degree, represented as P(x >60), can be noted internally as P(x < 60) = binomcdf (100, 0.20, 60). The function binompdf would indicate P(x = 60).
