Tracy sells water at a fair in 17oz bottles or 11oz cans. If on one shelf she has 11 containers of water that hold a total of 15
lawyer [12517]

Response:

Count of bottles = 6

Count of cans = c

Detailed reasoning:

Based on the following information:

Containers for selling water:

17 oz bottle

11 oz can

Let the number of bottles be denoted as b

Count of cans represented as c

b + c = 11 - - - (1)

17b + 11c = 157 - - - (2)

b = 11 - c

Insert into (2)

17(11 - c) + 11c = 157

187 - 17c + 11c = 157

187 - 6c = 157

-6c = 157 - 187

-6c = -30

c = 30/6

c = 5

From; b = 11 - c

b = 11 - 5

b = 6

Thus,

Count of bottles = 6

Count of cans = c

PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

Refer to the explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph can represent a relay race scenario.

Jamie describes a situation that corresponds to the piecewise function illustrated in the graph.

On the graph, the x-axis denotes time in minutes, while the y-axis shows distance in miles.

The initial segment of the graph is a line that extends from the origin to the point (12, 1), with the second segment going from (12, 1) to (20, 2).

1. A runner starts the race and maintains a consistent speed for 1 minute.

  • This statement is erroneous as it identifies the incorrect axis.

It should state: a runner initiates the race and runs consistently for 12 minutes, covering 1 mile.

The equation for this segment:

  • y = mx + b
  • b = 0 since it originates from the starting point.
  • m = 1/12
  • y = 1/12x
  • x = [0, 12], y = [0, 1]

2. Then, his partner takes over and runs faster at a steady pace for another 1 minute.

  • Once again, as mentioned earlier, this misrepresents the axis.

It should say: his partner then continues and runs at a constant, quicker pace for an additional 8 minutes, finishing the final mile of the race.

The equation for this segment:

  • b = 1, serving as the initial point
  • m = (2-1)/(20-12) = 1/8
  • y = 1/8x + 1
  • x = (12, 20], y = (1, 2]

A game spinner has regions that are numbered 1 through 8. If the spinner is used twice, what is the probability that the first n
Zina [12379]
Let P(3) denote the probability of landing on 3 in a spin, and P(5) denote the probability of landing on 5. In probability terms, "AND" signifies multiplication while "OR" indicates addition. We aim to find the probability that the first number is "3" AND the second number is "5." Thus, we identify the individual probabilities and MULTIPLY them. The spinner has numbers ranging from 1 to 8, each appearing once. Therefore, since there is one instance of "3," we have P(3) = 1/8 and similarly P(5) = 1/8. Consequently, the overall probability of P(3 and 5) is 1/8 multiplied by 1/8, which equals 1/64.
