Answer:

a. 15/16 tons or 0.9375 tons

b. 6 4/5 work days or 6.8 work days

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

There are 3 hours from 9 am to noon

Convert 2 1/2 to 5/2 or 2.5

Set up a proportion: \frac{5/2}{8} = \frac{x}{3}

Cross-multiply: 5/2 * 3 = 8x → 15/2 = 8x

Divide 15/2 by 8 = 15/2 * 1/8 = 15/16

b. Establish another proportion

\frac{5/2}{8} = \frac{17}{y}

Cross-multiply: (5/2) y = 8*17 → (5/2) y = 136

Divide 136 by 5/2 = 136 * 2/5 = 54 2/5 hours

1 workday = 8 hours

Therefore, 54 2/5 hours / 8 hours = 6 4/5 work days or 6.8 work days

I JUST NEED THESE 3 QUESTIONS
AnnZ [10913]

Answer:  

 

1.     What are the amplitude and period of the sine function that indicates the positioning of the band members as they start performing?

Answer:  The amplitude is 80 ft and the period is 60 ft.

 

2.     Edna, seated in the stands, faces Darla and notices that the sine curve starts rising from the left edge of the field. What is the equation for the sine function representing the arrangement of band members at the beginning of their performance?

Answer:  y = 80cos(x*π/30)+80

 

3.     When the band starts playing, the members move away from the edges, and the sine curve changes to start decreasing at the far left. Darla remains in her position. Now the sine curve is half as tall as it originally was. What is the equation for the updated sine curve depicting the band members' positions?

Answer: y = 40cos(x*π/30)+80

 

4.     Finally, the entire band shifts closer to the edge of the football field, causing the sine curve to now position itself in the lower half of the field from Edna’s perspective. What is the equation for this sine curve reflecting the band members' positions after these adjustments?

Answer:  y = 40cos(x*π/30)+40

What proportion of these candy bars have more than 300 calories per serving? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Inessa [11115]

Answer: 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 65 candy bars. Within this amount;

2 candy bars contain 300 to 350 calories

1 candy bar contains 350 to 400 calories

4 candy bars contain 400 to 450 calories

1 candy bar contains 450 to 500 calories

Thus, the overall ratio of candy bars with more than 300 calories is;

= (2 + 1 + 4 + 1) / 65

= 8/65

= 0.12

Solve X-9+2wx=y for x
tester [10737]
X - 9 + 2wx = y Add 9 to both sides of the equation to isolate terms. Next, you get x + 2wx = y + 9. After that, factor out x to obtain x (1 + 2w) = y + 9. Lastly, divide every term by (1 + 2w) yielding x = (y + 9) / (1 + 2w).
