A bag contains 120 marbles. Some are red and the rest are black. There are 17 red marbles for every 3 black marbles. How many red marbles are in the bag?

Answers

Answer 1

Given :

A bag contains 120 marbles. Some are red and the rest are black. There are 17 red marbles for every 3 black marbles.

To Find :

How many red marbles are in the bag.

Solution :

Let, number of red and black marbles are x and y respectively.

So, x + y = 120    ....1)

Now, it is given that there are 17 red marbles for every 3 black marbles.

So, 3x = 17y        ....2)

Putting value of x from equation 2) to equation 1), we get :

[tex]\dfrac{17y}{3}+y = 120\\\\\dfrac{20y}{3}=120\\\\y = 18\\\\x = 120 - 18\\\\x = 102[/tex]

Therefore, the number of red and black marbles are 102 and 18 respectively.

a recipe uses 1 1/4 cups of milk to make 10 servings. if the same amount of milk is used for each serving, how many servings can be made using 1 gallon of milk? take 1 gallon to be equal to 16 cups. please show the work!​

Answers

Answer:

128 servings can be made using 1 gallon of milk.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

[tex]1\frac{1}{4}[/tex] cups of milk make 10 servings

[tex]1\frac{1}{4}[/tex] can also be written as 1.25

Ratio of cups of milk to servings = 1.25 : 10

1 gallon = 16 cups

Let,

x be the number of servings made from 1 gallon

Ratio of cups of milk to servings = 16 : x

This is a direct proportion

1.25 : 10 :: 16 : x

Product of mean = Product of extreme

10*16 = 1.25x

160 = 1.25x

1.25x=160

Dividing both sides by 1.25

[tex]\frac{1.25x}{1.25}=\frac{160}{1.25}\\x=128[/tex]

Hence,

128 servings can be made using 1 gallon of milk.

Some people advise that in very cold​ weather, you should keep the gas tank in your car more than half full. Lou​'s car had 6.8 gallons in the 15​-gallon tank on the coldest day of the year. Lou filled the tank with gas that cost ​$3.90 per gallon. How much did Lou spend on​ gas?

Answers

Answer: You have the following information given in the problem above:

- Lou filled the tank with gas that cost ​$3.80 per gallon.

-   Lou​'s car had 5.9 gallons in the 13​-gallon tank.

2. Therefore, if he filled the tank, you can calculate the total amount of money Lou spent, by subtracting 13 gallons and 5.9 gallons and multiplying the result by ​$3.80.

3. Then, the result is:

$26.98

Next plug the y into the second equation to solve for x

6x+6(-7 -3.5x) =186x+(-42)+ (-21x) =18 6x-21x= 60 -15x=60x=-4

This is a ______ hypothesis and will result in a(n) _______ -tailed test

Answers

Answer:

This is a __simple____ hypothesis and will result in a(n) _______one-tailed test.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Simple Hypothesis predicts the relationship between two variables, in this case, height and leadership. The one-tailed test will be performed to determine whether to reject the null hypothesis.  This is why the null and alternative hypotheses must be established before the statistic test is carried out.   If the null hypothesis is rejected, this simply results in the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis.

Answers

Use substitution
2x + 3(12 - 5x) = 11
Distributive property
2x + 36 - 15x = 11
Combine like terms
-13x + 36 = 11
Subtract 36
-13x = -25
x = 25/13
y = 12 - 5(25/13)
y = 31/13
Solution: x = 25/13, y = 31/13
