To simplify the task, let's transform the fraction into a mixed number. 2 2/3 can be expressed as 8/3. Now, by dividing 8 pints by 8/3 cups, we arrive at 24/8, which simplifies to 3 cups. Hence, Cary should use 3 cups of water for every 1 pint of tomato sauce in her barbecue sauce recipe.

Response:

1/3 cup of water

Explanation step-by-step:

The usage of cups of water is directly proportional to the amount of pints of tomato sauce. This indicates that as the quantity of water cups increases, the number of pints of tomato sauce does also, and the reverse is true.

According to the barbecue sauce recipe, which requires 2 2/3 cups for every 8 pints of tomato sauce, 1 pint corresponds to a number T of water cups calculated as

T = 1/8 *2 2/3

= 1/8 * 8/3

= 1/3

Answer:

Wyjaśnienie krok po kroku:

Załóżmy, że prostokąt ma wierzchołki (x,y,z) w dodatnim oktancie.  Prostokątny pudełko musi być symetryczne względem wszystkich trzech osi.

Wtedy jego boki to

2x,2y,2z

Objętość = 8xyz

Maksymalizuj objętość przy założeniu

x^2+y^2+z^2 =1

tj. g(x,y,z) = x^2+y^2+z^2 -1=0

Użyj mnożników Lagrange'a, mamy

∇f(x,y,z)=λ∇g(x,y,z)przy maksimum

∇f(x,y,z)=λ∇g(x,y,z) =(8yz,8xz,8xy)\\∇g(x,y,z)=(2x,2y,2z)

8yz=2λx8xz=2λy8xy=2λz

Dzieląc otrzymujemy

\frac{y}{x} =\frac{x}{y} \\x^2=y^2

Podobnie y^2=z^2

Zatem otrzymujemy 3x^2 =1\\x = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }

Stąd wymiary to

tester [12383]

Answer:

a) 0.00019923%

b) 47.28%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To determine the likelihood that all sockets in the sample are defective, we can use the following approach:

The first socket is among a group that has 5 defective out of 38, leading to a probability of 5/38.

The second socket is then taken from a group of 4 defective out of 37, following the selection of the first defective socket, resulting in a probability of 4/37.

Extending this logic, the chance of having all 5 defective sockets is computed as: (5/38)*(4/37)*(3/36)*(2/35)*(1/34) = 0.0000019923 = 0.00019923%.

b) Using similar reasoning as in part a, the first socket has a probability of 33/38 of not being defective as it's chosen from a set where 33 sockets are functionally sound. The next socket has a proportion of 32/37, and this continues onward.

The overall probability calculates to (33/38)*(32/37)*(31/36)*(30/35)*(29/34) = 0.4728 = 47.28%.

Answer: 6000 steps Step-by-step explanation: 1/15 +1/10+1/2=2/30+3/30+15/30=20/30=2/3. Therefore, 2/3 equals 12000 steps, meaning 1/3 is 6000 steps. Overall, she should tally 18000 steps, and she has recorded 12000 steps, hence 18000-12000=6000 steps.

Two more than a certain number is 15 less<br> than the product of 7/8 and the number.
Zina [12379]

Answer:

The solution yields a number equal to -136.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number, leading to the following equation:

x + 2 = 7/8 x - 15

Rearranging gives:

x - 7/8 x = -15 - 2

1/8 x = -17

x = -17 * 8 resulting in -136.
