A dairy needs385 gallons of milk containing5 % butterfat. How many gallons each of milk containing8 % butterfat and milk containing1 % butterfat must be used to obtain the desired385 gallons?
The first step to this problem is finding the amount of butterfat there are in the 385 gallons milk with 5% of butterfat in it. To do that we need to multiply the percentage by the total amount of milk. This is done below:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{butterfat }_1=5\text{ \%}\cdot385 \\ \text{butterfat }_1=\frac{5}{100}\cdot385 \\ \text{butterfat }_1=0.05\cdot385=19.25 \end{gathered}[/tex]There are 19.25 gallons of butterfat on the final mixture, the amount of butterfat from each of the milks we are going to mix need to be equal to that. The first milk contains 8% of butterfat, while the second milk contains 1%. So we have:
[tex]\text{butterfat }_2=x\cdot8\text{ \%}\cdot=0.08\cdot x[/tex][tex]\text{butterfat}_3=y\cdot1\text{ \%}=0.01\cdot y[/tex]Where "x" is the number of gallons from the first milk and "y" is the number of gallons from the second milk. The number of gallons of each milk, when added, should be equal to the number of gallons on the final milk, so we have:
[tex]x+y=385[/tex]The same is valid for the amount of butterfat.
[tex]0.08\cdot x+0.01\cdot y=19.25[/tex]We have now created a system of equations as shown below:
[tex]\mleft\{\begin{aligned}x+y=385 \\ 0.08\cdot x+0.01\cdot y=19.25\end{aligned}\mright.[/tex]To solve this system we will multiply the first equation by "-0.01":
[tex]\{\begin{aligned}-0.01x-0.01y=-3.85 \\ 0.08\cdot x+0.01\cdot y=19.25\end{aligned}[/tex]Now we need to add both equations.
[tex]\begin{gathered} -0.01x+0.08x-0.01y+0.01y=-3.85+19.25 \\ 0.07x=15.4 \\ x=\frac{15.4}{0.07}=220 \end{gathered}[/tex]To find the value of "y" we will use the first equation:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 220+y=385 \\ y=385-220=165 \end{gathered}[/tex]We need 220 gallons from the 8% butterfat milk and 165 gallons from the 1% butterfat milk.

0,2% of what number is 8?
Answer: The number is 4,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we will turn 0.2% into a decimal.
0.2% / 100 = 0.002
Next, we will set up an equation. Let x be equal to "what number:"
0.2% of what number is 8 ➜ 0.002x = 8
Lastly, we will solve by dividing both sides by 0.02.
0.002x = 8
x = 4,000
If we wish to, we can check our answer.
4,000 * 0.002 = 8

The graph of the linear function and it's inverse is given at the end of the answer.
The inverse function is: [tex]h^{-1}(x) = -6x + 55[/tex]
How to find the inverse function?To find the inverse function, we exchange x and y in the original function, then isolate y.
In the context of this problem, first we have to find the function h(x), which is a linear function going through points (1,9) and (3,2), hence the slope is given by:
m = (2 - 1)/(3 - 9) = -1/6.
Then:
y = -x/6 + b.
When x = 1, y = 9, hence we can find the intercept b as follows:
9 = -1/6 + b
b = 54/6 + 1/6
b = 55/6.
Then the equation is:
h(x) = -x/6 + 55/6
Then:
y = -x/6 + 55/6
6y = -x + 55
6x = -y + 55
y = -6x + 55.
Hence the inverse function is:
[tex]h^{-1}(x) = -6x + 55[/tex]

Uzean ordered pair to answer thequestionWhat is the rate or slope ofthe graph?10What is the domain of thegraph?What is the range of thegraph?
Answer:
x-intercept: (-0.5,0)
y-intercept: (0,1)
Slope: 2
Domain: All real values
Range: All real values
Step-by-step explanation:
x-intercept:
The x-intercept is the value of x when y = 0. In this graphic, we have that when y = 0, x = -0.5. So the x-intercept is given by: (-0.5,0)
y-intercept:
The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0. In this graphic, we have that when x = 0, y = 1. So the y-intercept is given by: (0,1).
Slope:
To find the slope, we select two points. The slope is given by the division of the change in y by the change in x.
Two points: (-0.5, 0) and (0,1)
Change in y: 1 - 0 = 1
Change in x: 0 - (-0.5) = 0 + 0.5 = 0.5
Slope: 1/0.5 = 2

Perimeter = 65.12 inches, Area = 292.48 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter:
Total perimeter = perimeter of semicircle + perimeter of rectangle (note: excluding the shared line, since that is not on the outside of the shape).
= [tex]\frac{1}{2} 2\pi r[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{2} *2*3.14*8[/tex]
= 25.12
Perimeter = 25.12 + 12 + 12 + 16 = 65.12 inches
Area:
Total area = area of semicircle + area of rectangle
Area of semicircle = [tex]\frac{1}{2} \pi r^{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{2} *3.14* 8^{2}[/tex]
= 100.48
Area of rectangle = l * w
= 16 * 12
= 192
Total area = 100.48 + 192 = 292.48
Probability of heads and tails
SOLUTION
A coin was flipped.
A = probability of it landing on a head
B = probability of it landing on a tail.
We are asked P(A and B), that means probability of landing on a head and on a tail.
A coin can only land on a head or it can land on a tail. It can't land on a head and a tail at the same time.
Therefore the probability of landing on a head and a tail is 0.
Hence, the answer is 0.

Chandrasekhar Subramaayan is taking a course in Astrophysics at the University of Madras. Tomorrow, he will be taking the Final Exam. The Final Exam makes up 65% of the overall average. Chandrasekhar Subramanyan's current average is 74%. What is the lowest score that he can get on the Final Exam that would increase his overall average to a “B”? Show your work.
Final Exam accounts for 65% of total.
The rest is 100 - 65 = 35%
On the 35%, he has 74% or 74 out of 100.
Let's say the final exam is out of 100 and we want to find how much he can afford to get to take him to "B".
Let's say his score needs to be "x" in order to get B.
The overall weighted average of the course would be counted as:
[tex]35\%of74\%+65\%of\frac{x}{100}=83\%oftotal[/tex]Breaking it down:
74 out of 100 means WHAT out of 35? (let's call the unknown "y")
[tex]\frac{74}{100}=\frac{y}{35}[/tex]y would be:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{74}{100}=\frac{x}{35} \\ 100x=74\cdot35 \\ x=25.9 \end{gathered}[/tex]So, he currently has 25.9 out of 35.
He would need 83 to get overall average to 83%.
He would need:
83 - 25.9 = 57.1 out of 65
That is:
[tex]\frac{57.1}{65}\cdot100=87.85\%[/tex]Basically he would need a percentage of 87.85% (MINIMUM) on the final exam to make his overall average to 83% (which is the bare minimum for a B grade).

N = 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 10^6 = 1,000,000.
Missing information
This problem is incomplete, hence we suppose that it asks for how many plates can be built.

In a recent awards ceremony, the age of the winner for best actor was 38 and the age of the winner for best actress was 51. For all best actors, the mean age is 46.8 years and the standard deviation is 5.7 years. For all best actresses, the mean age is 31.9 years and the standard deviation is 10.8 years. (All ages are determined at the time of the awards ceremony.) Relative to their genders, who had the more extreme age when winning the award, the actor or the actress? Explain.
Given
the age of the winner for best actor was 38 and the age of the winner for best actress was 51.
For all best actors, the mean age is 46.8 years and the standard deviation is 5.7 years.
For all best actresses, the mean age is 31.9 years and the standard deviation is 10.8 years.
Find
who had the more extreme age when winning the award, the actor or the actress
Explanation
the Z- score is given by
[tex]Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]Best Actor
X = 38
mean = 46.8 years
standard deviation = 5.7 years.
so ,
[tex]\begin{gathered} Z=\frac{38-46.8}{5.7} \\ \\ Z=-1.54385964912\approx-1.54 \end{gathered}[/tex]Best Actress
X = 51
mean = 31.9 years
standard deviation = 10.8 years.
so ,
[tex]\begin{gathered} Z=\frac{51-31.9}{10.8} \\ \\ Z=1.76851851852\approx1.77 \end{gathered}[/tex]the best actress's age is farther from the mean so he has the more extreme age when the winning the award.
Final Answer
Hence , the z- score for best actor is -1.54 and for best actress = 1.77
Actress has more extreme age
