Peter is at a lumber yard. He gets 2 free boxes of nails for every 10 boards he buys. Write an expression for the number of boxe

s of nails Peter will get if he buys n boards. If each box has 100 nails, explain how to write an expression to find how many nails Peter will have if he purchases 90 boards.

A. The quantity of 10-boards that Peter purchases is equal to n divided by 10. Consequently, each of the 10-boxes will receive two boxes of nails. After purchasing n boards, the formula for the number of boxes of nails Peter will have will be,

N = (2)(n/10)

When simplified,

N = n/5

b. If the total number of boards is 90, then,

N2 = (90/10)(2)(100 nails/box)
N2 = 1800

Final Answer: 1800

The precise answer is:

The algebraic equation n/10, where n denotes the quantity of boards, symbolizes how many times he receives 2 complimentary boxes of nails. Hence, 2(n/10), or n/5, indicates the total number of boxes, and 100(n/5), which equates to 20n, shows the nail count. By substituting 90 for n,

Two airplanes are flying to the same airport. Their positions are shown in the graph. Write a system of linear equations that re
zzz [12365]
To formulate the system, it's necessary to consider the slope of each line along with at least one point from each line. The two lines will connect each plane's location to their destination airport. It's important to note that the airport's coordinates represent the intersection of these two lines, corresponding to the solution of the system. First, the slope of the line from airplane one to the airport is: m = 2; this can be observed by plotting the two points. From airplane 1's location, the rise is 8 units while the run is 4 units to reach the airport, making the slope 8 divided by 4 = 2. We then insert the slope and point (2,4) into the point-slope form: y - 4 = 2(x - 4), which can be rearranged to standard form 2x - y = 0. For airplane two, the slope to the airport is obtained by observing the vertical decrease of 3 and a horizontal increase of 9 as we move from the airport to airplane 2. We then substitute the slope and the point (15,9) into the point-slope form: y - 9 = -1/3(x - 15), which can be rearranged to the standard form: x + 3y = 42. Consequently, the system of equations is: 2x - y = 0 and x + 3y = 42. Multiplying the first equation by 3 produces a system of: 6x - 3y = 0 and x + 3y = 42. Adding these equations results in the equation 7x = 42. Thus, x = 6, and by substituting this value back into 2x - y = 0, we determine y = 12. Thus, we demonstrate that the airport's coordinates do indeed comprise the solution to our system.

What is the slope of 1.5x+4.5y=18
Inessa [12570]
The x intercept is at (12,0). To find it, start with the equation 1.5x + 4.5y = 18, and subtract 1.5x from both sides. This gives you 4.5y = -1.5x + 18. Next, divide everything by 4.5, resulting in y = -1/3x + 4. Hence, the slope of the line is -1/3, and the y intercept is at (0,4). To determine the x intercept, set y to 0. Plugging this into the equation yields: 1.5x + 4.5(0) = 18, simplifying to 1.5x = 18. Dividing both sides by 1.5 gives x = 12.

Svet_ta [12734]

Response:  a) 0.9980, b) 0.0013, c) 0.0020, d) 0.00000026, e) 0.0318

Detailed explanation:

In Problem 8-4, the computer time-sharing system experiences teleport inquiries at an average rate of 0.1 per millisecond. We are tasked with determining the probabilities of the inquiries over a specific period of 50 milliseconds:

Given that

\lambda=0.1\ per\ millisecond=5\ per\ 50\ millisecond=5

Applying the Poisson process, we find that

(a) at most 12

probability=  P(X\leq 12)=\sum _{k=0}^{12}\dfrac{e^{-5}(-5)^k}{k!}=0.9980

(b) exactly 13

probability= P(X=13)=\dfrac{e^{-5}(-5)^{13}}{13!}=0.0013

(c) more than 12

probability= P(X>12)=\sum _{k=13}^{50}\dfrac{e^{-5}.(-5)^k}{k!}=0.0020

(d) exactly 20

probability= P(X=20)=\dfrac{e^{-5}(-5)^{20}}{20!}=0.00000026

(e) within the range of 10 to 15, inclusive

probability=P(10\leq X\leq 15)=\sum _{k=10}^{15}\dfrac{e^{-5}(-5)^k}{k!}=0.0318

Thus, a) 0.9980, b) 0.0013, c) 0.0020, d) 0.00000026, e) 0.0318

in a ceremony out of 800 participants 620 drink milk 350 drank tea and 50 did not drink both. find out how many people drank the
Leona [12618]
220: goodnight, mark me brainliest Explanation: Let M symbolize the count of people who drank milk, while T denotes those who consumed tea. Let x indicate the number who had both milk and tea. Consequently, the count of individuals who drank only milk is represented by n(M ∩ T') = 620 - x, and those who drank only tea is n(M' ∩ T) = 350 - x. Since 800 individuals took part, we have: 620 - x + (350 - x) + x + 50 = 800, simplifying to 1020 - x = 800. Therefore, x = 220. Thus, 220 individuals consumed both beverages.
