NEED HELP ASAP Ann, Ben, and Cindy were eating strawberries. The ratio of the numbers of berries they ate is 5:5:7. If Cindy ate 30 strawberries less than Ann and Ben together, what is the total number of strawberries the three of them ate?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

170

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

Ann, Ben, and Cindy were eating strawberries.

The ratio of the numbers of berries they ate is 5:5:7.

If Cindy ate 30 strawberries less than Ann and Ben together,

find:

what is the total number of strawberries the three of them ate?

solution:

add the ratios 5 + 5 + 7 = 17

since Cindy ate 30, less than Ann and Ben together so, the equation is

7x = 5x + 5x - 30

7x - 10x = -30

x = 30/3

x = 10

ann 5 x 10 = 50

ben 5 x 10 = 50

cindy 7 x 10 = 70  

total            = 170

Answer 2
Answer:  170

==============================================

Explanation:

A = number Ann ate

B = number Ben ate

C = number Cindy ate

Let x be some positive whole number

Since A,B,C is in the ratio 5:5:7, this means

A = 5x

B = 5x

C = 7x

Note how A:B:C = 5x:5x:7x = 5:5:7. We divide all parts by x to simplify the ratio.

-------------------

Cindy ate 30 strawberries less than Ann and Ben, so

C = A+B-30

C = 5x+5x-30

C = 10x-30

Earlier in the last section we had C = 7x, and now we found C = 10x-30

Since we're talking about the same C value, we can equate and solve

C = 7x

10x-30 = 7x ... replace C with 10x-30

10x-7x = 30

3x = 30

x = 30/3

x = 10

------------------

With this x value, we now know that...

A = 5x = 5*10 = 50

B = 5x = 5*10 = 50

C = 7x = 7*10 = 70

Cindy's count (70) is 30 less than Ann and Ben's combined count (50+50 = 100), so that helps confirm the answer.

Further confirmation comes from 50:50:70 reducing to 5:5:7 when you divide all parts by the GCF 10.

--------------------

The last step is to add the values of A, B and C.

A+B+C = 50+50+70

A+B+C = 100+70

A+B+C = 170

---------------------

Side note: since A+B+C = 5x+5x+7x = 17x, this means that the final answer is a multiple of 17.

What is the value of 4(x - 2)(x + 3) + 7(x - 2)(x - 5) - 6(x - 3)(x - 5) when x = 5?

Answers

Answer:

96

Step-by-step explanation:

Put x = 5 to the expression 4(x - 2)(x + 3) + 7(x - 2)(x - 5) - 6(x - 3)(x - 5)

4(5 - 2)(5 + 3) + 7(5 - 2)(5 - 5) - 6(5 - 3)(5 - 5)

= 4(3)(8) + 7(3)(0) - 6(2)(0) = 96 + 0 - 0 = 96

Write an equation of the line passing through the point (8,-5) that is parallel to the line 2x – 6y=-3.
y = mx + b

Answers

Answer:

y=[tex]\frac{1}{3}\\[/tex]x - [tex]\frac{23}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Ist put the first equation in y=mx+b form

2x-6y=-3

subtract 2x on both sides

2x-6y=-3

-2x    =-2x

-6y=-2x-3

then divide both sides by -6

-6y=-2x-3

-6

that gives y=[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]x+[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] for the original equation

Then plug in the point and slope in y=mx+b

Use the same slope since the lines are parallel

(-5)=([tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex])(8)+b

-5=[tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex]+b

then subtract 8/3 on both sides and that gives

-23/3 = b

then you can make the new equation using -23/3 for you b and 1/3 for your slop m

An isosceles triangle is shown. Which two angles must be congruent?

The congruncy lines on either side of the triangle show that.

An isosceles triangle has two congruent angles.

The two angles that must be congruent are: [tex]\mathbf{\angle I \cong \angle H}[/tex]

From the figure, we observe that side lengths HJ and HI are congruent.

The above highlight means that: the angles at the other points of HJ and HI.

The common point of HJ and HI is H, while the other points are J and I

So, the angles at J and I are congruent.

You come from a large, dysfunctional family. You learn of this year’s upcoming reunion, and dread the very thought of being around those people for any length of time. However, you’ve been intrigued by your introductory statistics course, and decide you will have some fun with the reunion by using it as an opportunity to study your family. As a preliminary project, you want to keep track of how many times each family member verbally assaults another person throughout the first 24 hours.
After 24 hours, you review your notes:

10. What is the standard deviation of your dataset?

Answers

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data provided is for the number of times each family member verbally assaults another person throughout the first 24 hours.

Use Minitab to compute the descriptive statistics.

Go to Stat → Basic Statistics → Display Basic Statistics

A dialog box will open.

Select the variable.

Select 'Statistics'.  

Another dialog box will open.

Select the statistics required.

Press OK.

Select "Graphs'.

Select Histogram.

Press OK

The output is attached below.

(1)

The mean of the data is, Mean = 10.

(2)

The median of the data is, Median = 8.50.

(3)

The mode of the data is, Mode = 5.

(4)

The inequality statement for the mean, median and mode is:

Mean > Median > Mode

A distribution is known as to be skewed to the right, or positively skewed, when maximum of the data are collected on the left of the histogram of the distribution.

Also if the Mean > Median > Mode then the distribution is skewed to the right.

For a skewed distribution the best of central tendency is the median.

So, the measure of central tendency that is most appropriate for this dataset is, Median = 8.50.

(5)

The range of the data set is:

Range = Maximum - Minimum

           = 19 - 4

           = 15

Thus, the range is 15.

(6)

The population of interest is the number of times the family members verbally assaults another person throughout the first 24 hours.

(7)

Consider the Minitab output.

The standard deviation of the data set is, SD = 5.60.
