Brenda is cooking couscous. The recipe says she requires 480 grams of couscous for 4 people. How many will she need for 14?

1,680 grams

To determine this, we can set up a proportion as follows:

grams/people=grams/people

The recipe requires 480 grams for 4 individuals and we need to find how many grams (x) are necessary for 14 individuals.

480 grams/4 people=x grams/14

480/4=x/14

Now, let's isolate x, the grams necessary for 14 people. Currently, x is divided by 14, so we will multiply both sides by 14 as multiplication is the inverse of division.

14(480/4)=(x/14)14

14(480/4)=x

14*120=x

1680=x

Thus, she requires 1,680 grams of couscous to serve 14 individuals.

AnnZ [9099]
Let’s determine the actual mean

First, we sum all the values

87+46+90+78+89 = 390

Then, we divide 390 by the count of numbers present.

390/5 = 78

Thus, the mean is 78

Tristan records the number of customers who visit the store each hour on a Saturday. His data representing the first seven hours
Svet_ta [9500]
Initially, we must determine the median from the provided dataset. To achieve this, we need to sort the values:
12, 15, 18, 20, 23, 23, 28
Thus, the median appears to be 20

To ensure the median remains unchanged, the eighth hour would need to have 20 visitors, allowing the revised dataset to be:
12, 15, 18, 20, 20, 23, 23, 28

I hope this clarifies things!

An old campfire is uncovered during an archaeological dig. Its charcoal is found to contain less than 1/1000 the normal amount o
PIT_PIT [9117]

During an archaeological excavation, an ancient campfire is uncovered. The charcoal is determined to have significantly less than 1/1000 of the standard amount of ^{14}\text{C} ​. Calculate the minimal age of the charcoal, taking into account that 2^{10} = 1024

Response:

57300 years

Step-by-step breakdown:

Using the relationship of half-life time against fraction, which can be expressed as:

\dfrac{N}{N_o} = (\dfrac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{1/2}}

In this context,

N indicates the current atom

represents the initial atomN_o

t signifies the time

denotes the half-lifet_{1/2}

Since the charcoal was found to contain less than 1/1000 of the typical amount of ^{14}\text{C} ​.

Thus;

\dfrac{N}{N_o} = \dfrac{1}{1000}

However; the objective is to estimate the minimum age of the charcoal while noting  2^{10} = 1024

this means 2^{10} = 1024, then:

\dfrac{1}{1000}> \dfrac{1}{1024}

\dfrac{1}{1000}> \dfrac{1}{2^{10}}

\dfrac{1}{1000}> (\dfrac{1}{2})^{10}

If

\dfrac{N}{N_o} = \dfrac{1}{1000}

Then

\dfrac{N}{N_o} > (\dfrac{1}{2})^{10}

Consequently, it can be estimated that the minimum time elapsed is 10 half-lives.

For ^{14}\text{C}, the standard half-life time is 5730 years

Thus, the estimation of the minimum age of the charcoal is  5730 years × 10

= 57300 years

In a small private school three students are randomly selected from 18 available students what is the probability that
tester [8842]

1/ 816  

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Assumptions made

Number of students in the school = 18

Number selected randomly = 3

Step 2 :

Calculating number of ways to choose 3 students from a group of 18:

C(18,3)  = 18! /(3!(18-3)!) =  18*17*16/3*2*1 = 816

Ways to choose the youngest 3 students = 1

Hence, the probability of picking the 3 youngest students from this group is  1/ C(18,3) = 1/ 816
