Dean is comparing prices on ground beef. Store A is selling 5 pounds of ground beef for $23.49. Store B is selling 8 pounds of ground beef for $36.96. Which store is offering the better deal on ground beef? Show work

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Store B

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to set up an equation for each store

Store A  (you have 5 pounds of something sold at $x per pound. which together totals $23.49)

[tex]5x=$23.49[/tex]

Store B (you have 8 pounds of something sold at $x per pound. which together totals $36.96)

[tex]8x=36.96[/tex]

Then you want to isolate the x for each equation to find the price per pound. You do this by diving each total cost, by how many pounds that you get.

Store A: $23.49/5 pounds= $4.698

Store B: $36.96/ 8 pounds = $4.62

This gives you a price per pound, so B is the correct answer because B is $0.07 cheaper per pound, giving you the better deal.

1. It costs $3.45 to buy 3/4 lb of chopped walnuts. How much would it cost to purchase
7.5 lbs of walnuts? Explain or show your reasoning.

Answers

Answer:

$34.50

Step-by-step explanation:

First, how many 3/4 lbs are in 7.5 lbs?

7.5 lbs = 15/2 lbs.

(15/2) / (3/4) = 10

There are 10 "3/4" lbs in 7.5 lbs.

So, if it costs $3.45 to purchase 3/4 lbs of chopped walnuts, it would cost $3.45 times 10 dollars to purchase 7.5 lbs of chopped walnuts, or $34.50.

D = 45 and C = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

The bigger triangle has a 90 degree corner add that to 64 and you will get 164 (all of the triangles angles have to add to 180) from 180 subtract 164 and you get 26 which is C's answer

For D just divide 90 by 2 (90/2)=45

Answer: The person up their is correct

D = 45 and C = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to measure an angle is to use a protractor. To do this, you'll start by lining up one ray along the 0-degree line on the protractor. Then, line up the vertex with the midpoint of the protractor. Follow the second ray to determine the angle's measurement to the nearest degree.

31 tds airastorg/student/V996/Pages/TestShellaspx

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First expand the expression so you know the coefficients of x and y.

4(2x+y+2y) = 4(2x+3y) = 8x+12y

8x+12y  =  8x+12y

6x+7y  ≠  6x+12y

8x+y+2y  = 8x + 3y ≠  8x+12y

8x+4y+8y = 8x+12y = 8x+12y

The equivalent expression is 8x + 4y + 8y.

Option D is the correct answer.

What is an expression?

An expression contains one or more terms with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

We always combine the like terms in an expression when we simplify.

We also keep all the like terms on one side of the expression if we are dealing with two sides of an expression.

Example:

1 + 3x + 4y = 7 is an expression.

3 + 4 is an expression.

2 x 4 + 6 x 7 – 9 is an expression.

33 + 77 – 88 is an expression.

We have,

4(2x + y + 2y)

This can be simplified as,

8x + 4y + 8y

Thus,

The equivalent expression is 8x + 4y + 8y.

Suppose that 11% of all steel shafts produced by a certain process are nonconforming but can be reworked (rather than having to be scrapped). Consider a random sample of 200 shafts, and let X denote the number among these that are nonconforming and can be reworked. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) What is the (approximate) probability that X is at most 30

Answers

Answer:

0.9726 = 97.26% approximate probability that X is at most 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].

11% of all steel shafts produced by a certain process are nonconforming but can be reworked (rather than having to be scrapped).

This means that [tex]p = 0.11[/tex]

Random sample of 200 shafts

This means that [tex]n = 200[/tex]

Mean and Standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = E(x) = np = 200*0.11 = 22[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{200*0.11*0.89} = 4.42[/tex]

(a) What is the (approximate) probability that X is at most 30

Using continuity correction, this is [tex]P(X \leq 30 + 0.5) = P(X \leq 30.5)[/tex], which is the pvalue of Z when X = 30.5. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{30.5 - 22}{4.42}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.92[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.92[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9726.

0.9726 = 97.26% approximate probability that X is at most 30

[tex]x = 9[/tex]

Required

Solve

Substitute 9 for x in [tex]g(x) = \frac{1}{6}(8)^{x-5}[/tex]

[tex]g(9) = \frac{1}{6}(8)^{9-5}[/tex]

[tex]g(9) = \frac{1}{6}(8)^{4}[/tex]

Remove bracket

[tex]g(9) = \frac{1}{6}* 8^4[/tex]

[tex]g(9) = \frac{1}{6}* 4096[/tex]

[tex]g(9) = \frac{1* 4096}{6}[/tex]

[tex]g(9) = \frac{4096}{6}[/tex]

Simplify fraction
