Each minute, you need to multiply the mass by 27.7% or 0.277

after 1 minute, it's one multiplication
after 2 minutes, it’s two multiplications
3, three times
and so forth
consequently, after 13 minutes, you'd multiply 13 times or 0.277^13

thus what is 970g * 0.277^13 =?

Blanca earns a yearly salary of $55,000. Isabel earns a yearly salary of $63,000. Blanca will receive a salary increase of $3,70
Inessa [8989]

Answer:

final equation: 55,000 + 3,700n = 63,000 + 2,900n

Step-by-step explanation:

Blanca's current salary: 55,000

With an annual increase of $3,700, her salary after n years is 55,000 + 3,700n

Isabel's current salary: 63,000

With an annual increase of $2,900, her salary after n years is 63,000 + 2,900n

Setting the two salary equations equal gives:

55,000 + 3,700n = 63,000 + 2,900n

A grocery store receives deliveries of corn from two farms, one in Iowa and the other in Ohio. Both farms produce ears of corn w
Zina [9157]

Answer:

The number of standard deviations above the mean is z_o   = 1.4607

Step-by-step explanation:

The question indicates that:

   The average weight of the corn ears from each farm is \mu=1.26

   The standard deviation for the corn ears from Iowa is \sigma_1

   The standard deviation for the corn ears from Ohio is

     \sigma_2= 0.01 + \sigma_1

     

  A randomly chosen ear of corn from Iowa weighs  x =  1.39 pounds

  The standardized score is  z = 1.645

  The weight of a randomly chosen ear of corn from Ohio measures  x_1 =  1.39\ pound

In general, the standardized score of corn weight from Iowa can be mathematically defined as:

        z  =  \frac{ 1.39 -  1.26 }{\sigma_1 }

=>     1.645 =  \frac{ 1.39 -  1.26 }{\sigma_1 }  

=>      \sigma_1 =  \frac{ 1.39 -  1.26 }{ 1.64 5}  

=>      \sigma_1  =   0.0790  

Conversely, the standardized score of corn weight from Ohio is expressed as:

         z_o  =  \frac{ 1.39 -  1.26 }{\sigma_2 }

=>     z_o=  \frac{ 1.39 -  1.26 }{0.01 + \sigma_1 }  

=>      z_o =  \frac{ 1.39 -  1.26 }{  0.089}  

=>      z_o   = 1.4607

A positive value indicates this quantity represents the number of standard deviations above the mean.

Sandy takes a day off once every 4 days, and Morgan takes a day off once every 10 days. Today, both of them have taken the day o
Zina [9157]
Assuming that the departure day for both is day 0, Sandy's next day off occurs on day 4, while Morgan's falls on day 10. Sandy's days off will be on days 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20. Meanwhile, Morgan's days off will be on days 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50. Thus, both of them will share a day off on day 20, meaning they will next have a joint day off in 20 days.

Terrence walks at a pace of 2 mi/h to the theater and watches a movie for 2 hours and 15 min he rides a bus back home at 40 mi/h
zzz [9066]

Solution:

Let x be the distance in miles from the house to the theater.

Total time taken for the trip =3.5-2.25=1.25 Hr

Then average speed =\frac{Distance}{Time}= \frac{2x}{1.25}\\

Terrence walks at a speed of 2 miles per hour to the theater and returns home at 40 miles per hour.

Thus, Average Speed =\frac{2+40}{2}= 21\\ mi/hr

Both average speeds must be equivalent. Hence, we can express this as:

\frac{2x}{1.25}=21\\
\\
2x=1.25*21\\
\\
x=13.125\\

Consequently, the distance from home is 13.125 miles.
