Laura is the fund-raising manager for a local charity. She is ordering caps for an upcoming charity walk. The company that makes

the caps charges $6 per cap plus a $25 shipping fee. Laura has a budget of $1,000. What is the greatest number of caps she can buy?

Let x represent the number of caps

cost per cap = $6

cost for x caps = 6x

shipping charge = $25

overall budget = $1000

We can set up the following inequality:

Because the total amount cannot exceed 1000, we have

25 + 6x ≤ 1000

6x ≤ 975

x ≤ 162.5

rounding,

x ≤ 163

This means she can purchase a maximum of 163 caps.

a resorvoir can be filled by an inlet pipe in 24 hours and emptied by an outlet pipe 28 hours. the foreman starts to fill the re
zzz [4022]
To determine the rates at which the inlet and outlet pipes fill and empty the reservoir, we remember that work done equals rate multiplied by time. Let’s denote the inlet rate as i and for the outlet pipe as 0. Therefore,
i(24) = 1
o(28) = 1
In this context, the '1' represents the total number of reservoirs, since the problem states the time needed for each pipe to either fill or empty a singular reservoir. Solving for rates yields:
i = 1/24 reservoirs/hour
o = 1/28 reservoirs/hour

Over the first six hours, the inlet pipe fills (1/24)(6) = 1/4 reservoirs and during the same period, the outlet pipe empties (1/28)(6) = 3/14 reservoirs. To calculate the net volume of the reservoir filled, we subtract the emptying total from the filling total:
1/4 - 3/14 = 1/28 reservoirs (note that if emptying exceeds filling, a negative value results. In such cases, treat that negative value as zero, indicating that the outlet rate surpasses the inlet rate, leading to an empty reservoir).
Now we need to find out how long it will take to fill up one reservoir since we’ve already partially filled 1/28 of it, after closing the outlet pipe. In simpler terms, we need to determine the time required for the inlet pipe to finish filling the remaining 27/28 of the reservoir. Fortunately, we have already established the filling rate for the inlet pipe, leading to the equation:
(1/24)t = 27/28
Solving for t gives us 23.14 hours. Remember to add the initial 6 hours to this result since the question seeks the total time. Thus, the final total is 29.14 hours.

The line width of a tool used for semiconductor manufacturing is assumed to be normally distributed with a mean of 0.5 micromete
zzz [4022]

Answer:

a. 0.82%

b. 71.11%

c. 0.564 micrometer

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the z value for each measurement, we must calculate and determine the percentage they correspond to, and the difference will give us the percentage between those two statistics.

The equation for z is:

z = (x - m) / (sd)

Here, x is the value being evaluated, m denotes the mean, and sd represents the standard deviation.

a.

For 0.62 copies, we calculate:

z = (0.62 - 0.5) / (0.05)

z = 2.4

This translates to 0.9918.

Therefore, p (x > 0.62) = 1 - 0.9918

p (x > 0.62) =  0.0082 = 0.82%

b.

For 0.47 copies, we have:

z = (0.47 - 0.5) / (0.05)

z = -0.6, which equates to 0.2742.

For 0.63 copies:

z = (0.63 - 0.5) / (0.05)

z = -2.6, which yields 0.9953.

Hence, p (0.47 > x > 0.63) = 0.9953 - 0.2742

p (0.47 > x > 0.63) = 0.7211 = 72.11 %

c.

For x copies, we find:

p = 0.9 corresponds to z = 1.28.

Thus, 1.28 = (x - 0.5) / (0.05)

From which we derive:

x = 1.28*0.05 + 0.5

x = 0.564 micrometer

Michael uses a blend of dark chocolate and milk chocolate to make the ice cream topping at his restaurant. He needs to buy 100\,
AnnZ [3877]

Answer:

Michael purchases 60 kg of dark chocolate alongside 40 kg of milk chocolate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d signify the kilograms of dark chocolate bought by Michael and m signify the kilograms of milk chocolate he acquires.

He must acquire a total of 100 kg of chocolate, thus

d+m=100

With dark chocolate priced at $12 per kg, the cost for d kg would be $12d. The price of milk chocolate is $10 per kg, indicating the cost for m kg is $10m. Michael intends to spend $1,120 on the chocolate, therefore

12d+10m=1,120

Taking the first equation

d=100-m

By inserting this into the second equation:

12(100-m)+10m=1,120\\ \\1,200-12m+10m=1,120\\ \\-12m+10m=1,120-1,200\\ \\-2m=-80\\ \\m=40\\ \\d=100-m=100-40=60

Michael ends up buying 60 kg of dark chocolate and 40 kg of milk chocolate.

Two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal. Parallel lines x and y are cut by transversal w. On line x where it intersects
AnnZ [3877]

Answer:

118.2°

Step-by-step explanation:

Dos líneas paralelas x e y son cortadas por la transversal w (ver el diagrama adjunto).

Se forman 8 ángulos (denominados 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 y 8).

Los ángulos 1 y 6 son ángulos del mismo lado cuando dos líneas paralelas x e y son cortadas por la transversal w.

Dos ángulos del mismo lado son suplementarios (suman 180°). Esto significa

m\angle 1+m\angle 6=180^{\circ}

Dado m\angle 1=61.8^{\circ}, por lo que

m\angle 6=180^{\circ}-61.8^{\circ}=118.2^{\circ}

In right triangle qrs, angle r is a right angle. The altitude rt is drawn to hypotenuse qs. If qr is 20 and qs is 25 then find t
lawyer [4008]

Answer:

qt's length = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem states that qrs is a right triangle,

where qr = 20

          sr =?

          qs = 25

          qt =?

1)

Calculate sr

hypotenuse² = base² + height²

sq² = sr² + rq²

25² - 20² = sr²

sr = √(25² - 20²)

sr = 15

2)

When altitude rt is dropped to hypotenuse qs, it creates

two right triangles: rtq and rts.

Δrtq

height = rt

base= tq = 25 - x

hypotenuse = qt = 20

Δrts

height = rt

base= ts = x

hypotenuse = sr = 15

Both triangles share the same height, which is rt

Using the Pythagorean theorem:

      Δ rtq                                           Δ rts

hypotenuse² - base² = height²

20² - (25 - x)² = 15² - x²

400 - (625 + x² - 50x) = 225 - x²

400 - 625 - x² + 50x = 225 - x²

-225 - x² + 50x - 225 + x² = 0

-450 + 50 x = 0

50x = 450

x = 450/50

x = 9

Base of Δ rtq = tq = 25 - x

                         tq = 25 - 9

                         tq = 16
