Jane is organizing a fundraiser to buy a ping-pong table for the community center. The table costs $500.00. Jane is asking contr

ibutors to pay for an equal share of the cost of the table. She already has five contributors lined up. What function models the cost per share, C, with respect to the number of new contributors, n? How many new contributors must Jane recruit in order for the cost of each share to be $20.00?

The function representing the cost per share, C, relative to the number of contributors, n, is C = 500 / n. For the contribution to be $20 each, Jane must gather 20 additional contributors, totaling 25. With just 5 currently, she needs 20 more to reach this goal.

A photographer sells large photos for $27 profit and small photos for an $11 profit.This past year,she sold 126 photos and made
Leona [9271]

Answer:

The photographer sold 72 small photos and 54 large photos.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create a system of equations based on the details provided. Let X represent small photos and Z represent large photos.

It is given that the total number of photos sold is 126:

X + Z = 126

Additionally, she generated $2,250 from selling specific amounts of small and large photos, stated as:

$2,250 = $11X + $27Z

From the first equation, we know X=126-Z. Substituting this into the second equation gives:

2,250 = 11(126-Z) + 27Z

2,250 = 1,386 - 11Z + 27Z

2,250 - 1,386 = 16Z

864 = 16Z

Z = 864/16

Z = 54, which indicates the number of large photos sold. To find X:

X = 126 - Z

X = 126 - 54

X = 72, representing the small photos sold.

It takes Engineer Kweku three hours to drive to his brother’s house at an average speed of 50 miles per hour. If He takes the sa
AnnZ [9099]

Answer:

  2.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance equals speed multiplied by time. For constant distance, time varies inversely with speed. When traveling at 60/50 = 6/5 times the original speed, the return journey takes 5/6 of the initial duration:

  (5/6)(3 hours) = 2.5 hours... return trip duration

An athlete jumped 5.5 feet which was 1.1 times higher than the previous jumper how high did the previous athlete jump
Svet_ta [9500]

Answer:

5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the height of the previous jump as j. Therefore, it follows that 1.1j equals 5.5 ft.

By dividing both sides by 1.1, we derive j = 5 ft. This indicates the height from the prior jump.

Engineers measure angles in gradients, which are smaller than degrees. The table shows the conversion of some angle measures in
tester [8842]
The following table presents the conversion from degrees to gradients.

To calculate the slope, we take the difference between the two y-values (gradients) and divide it by the difference between the corresponding x-values (degrees).

For this purpose, we will use the initial and final points listed in the table. Therefore, the slope m is calculated as:

m= \frac{300-(-200)}{270-(-180)}  \\  \\ 
m= \frac{500}{450} \\  \\ 
m=1.11

After rounding to two decimal places, the slope of the line converting degrees to gradients is 1.11

Svet_ta [9500]

Answer:

0.8894 represents the likelihood of a negative test result given that the disease is present.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are provided the following in the question:

P(Disco Fever) = P( Disease) =

P(D) = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 1\% = 0.5 \times 0.01 = 0.005

Thus, we can express:

P(No  Disease) =

P(ND) =1 - P(D)= 0.995

P(Test Returns Positive with disease present) = 0.99

P(TP | D ) = 0.99

P( false-positive) = 4%

P( TP | ND) = 0.04

We need to assess the likelihood of a negative test result when the disease is indeed present, i.e.,

P(test result being negative while disease is present)

According to Bayes's theorem, we can write:

P(ND|TP) = \dfrac{P(ND)P(TP|ND)}{P(ND)P(TP|ND) + P(D)P(TP|D)}\\\\P(ND|TP) = \dfrac{0.995(0.04)}{0.995(0.04) + 0.005(0.99)} = 0.8894

0.8894 is the probability that the test result returns negative when the disease exists.
