Mushrooms are healthy food for wild songbirds. Adam buys a 3.5 oz container of mealworms for $8.75. Marco buys a 3.75- oz container of mealworms for $9.75. ​Which container is a better buy?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Adam's container

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Adam

[tex]Weight = 3.5\ oz[/tex]

[tex]Amount = \$8.75[/tex]

Macro

[tex]Weight = 3.75\ oz[/tex]

[tex]Amount = \$9.75[/tex]

Required

Determine the better buy

First, we need to determine the unit cost per oz of each

i.e.

[tex]Unit\ Cost = \frac{Amount}{Weight}[/tex]

For Adam:

[tex]Unit\ Cost = \frac{8.75}{3.5}[/tex]

[tex]Unit\ Cost = 2.5[/tex]

For Marco:

[tex]Unit\ Cost = \frac{9.75}{3.75}[/tex]

[tex]Unit\ Cost = 2.6[/tex]

The better buy of both is the one with the smaller unit cost.

Since 2.5 < 2.6, we can conclude that Adam's container is a better buy

Find the slope of each of the two lines using the formula

y1-y2/x1-x2

Then if the slopes are the same, they’re parallel, and if they are the opposite reciprocal they are perpendicular. If they aren’t either of those options then it’s neither

Let me know if this helped!

Answer:

  21.  perpendicular

  22.  neither

  23.  parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

It can help to plot the points on a graph and draw lines through them. This can also let you count grid squares, which can make it easier to find the slope.

21. See attachment 1. The lines are perpendicular.

QR has a slope of -3/2. ST has a slope of 2/3, the opposite reciprocal.

__

22. See attachment 2. The lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.

__

23. The x-coordinates of Q and R are the same, so this is a vertical line at x=-1. The x-coordinates of S and T are also the same, so it is a vertical line at x=11. The two vertical lines are parallel to each other.

Additional comment

When you have a number of problems that all require similar arithmetic, it can be useful to embed that arithmetic in a spreadsheet. You have to enter the numbers somewhere to "show work" or perform a calculation, so you may as well enter them into a spreadsheet that does the calculation for you.

Of course, the slope formula is ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

If you simply show the values of m for each pair of points, you can see if they are equal (lines are parallel). You can also have the spreadsheet compute their product to see if it is -1 (lines are perpendicular). If you get a #DIV/0! error, it means the line is vertical (and the product will also give an error). You can avoid error messages by making the spreadsheet more sophisticated, but that isn't necessary for the purpose here.

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide.

100 / 7.75 ≈ 12.9

He needs to work FULL hours, so round up.

Answer:

He would need to work 13 hours.

A swim coach wants to test whether practicing with swim paddles improves swimmers' breaststroke times in the 100-

meter relay race. He asks the first member of the relay team to continue swimming without paddles. He asks the other

three members of the relay team to swim with paddles for two weeks. He records the swim times of the relay teams with

and without paddles. Which group of an experiment are the other three members of the relay team part of?

-single-blind

-confounding

-control

-experimental

Answers

Answer: experimental

Step-by-step explanation:

In a research design such as the one described in the scenario above, participants are separated into two distinct groups. The hypothesis (if swimming with paddles is faster than without paddles) being tested is applied on one of the two groups while the other group remains as before. Hence, the group which receives the treatment which is to be tested (those who swim with paddles) are called the experimental group. The other group of participants who continue to swim without paddles are the control group.

Hence, the other group of three member who were asked to swim with paddles for two weeks are the experimental group because they are the ones who received the actual treatment in the experiment.

Una limusina cuesta $ 85 para alquilar por 3 horas más un 7% de impuesto sobre las ventas. Cúal es el costo total
alquilar una limusina por 6 horas?

Answers

Answer:

$181.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Si cuesta 85 dólares por 3 horas, queremos duplicarlo para obtener la cantidad por 6 horas, que es 170 dólares. Esto es antes del impuesto a las ventas. Puede encontrar la cantidad después del impuesto a las ventas multiplicando 170 por 1.07. Hace esto porque el 100 por ciento del costo sería 170 por 1 y el 7 por ciento es .07, por lo que si desea el 107 por ciento del costo, debe hacerlo 170 por 1.07. Esto funciona porque toma el 7 por ciento de 170 y lo agrega al costo total. También puede hacer esto 170 veces .07. Luego suma el producto a 170. 181,9 es la respuesta final.

English- If it costs 85 dollars for 3 hours we want to double that to get the amount for 6 hours which is 170 dollars. This is before sales tax. You can find the amount after sales tax by multiplying 170 by 1.07. You do this because 100 percent of the cost would be 170 times 1, and 7 percent is .07, so if you want 107 percent of the cost you want to do 170 times 1.07. This works because it takes 7 percent of 170 and adds it to the total cost. You could also do this by 170 times .07. Then add the product to 170. 181.9 is the final answer.

Transform the equation.
Shift y=5√x+5 horizontally, 5 units to the right and a stretch by a factor of 4
What is the transformed equation?

Answers

Answer:

1. I assume that stretching vertically by factor of 2 means that every point on the transformed curve is twice as far from the x axis as the original curve.

Imagine that you have plotted y=5x.  you want to change the y scale so that each point on the original curve is two times as high.  For example, one point on the original curve is (1,5).  This point must be relocated to (1,10).  Similarly, the point (2,10) on the original curve must be relocated to (2,20).

You can see that these relocations are accomplished if we transform the function to y=2(5x)=10x.

What is the slope of the line that passes through (1, 4) and (-3, -3)?

Answers

Answer:

y=7/4x+9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the equation for a line that passes through the two points:

(1,4) and (-3,-3).

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b

Where:

m is the slope, and

b is the y-intercept

First, let's find what m is, the slope of the line...

The slope of a line is a measure of how fast the line "goes up" or "goes down". A large slope means the line goes up or down really fast (a very steep line). Small slopes means the line isn't very steep. A slope of zero means the line has no steepness at all; it is perfectly horizontal.

For lines like these, the slope is always defined as "the change in y over the change in x" or, in equation form:

So what we need now are the two points you gave that the line passes through. Let's call the first point you gave, (1, 4), point #1, so the x and y numbers given will be called [tex]x_1[/tex] and [tex]y_1[/tex]. Or,

Also, let's call the second point you gave, (-3,-3), point #2, so the x and y numbers here will be called [tex]x_2[/tex] and [tex]y_2[/tex]. Or,

Now, just plug the numbers into the formula for m above, like this:

m=  

[tex]\frac{-3-4}{-3-1}[/tex]

m= 7/4

So, we have the first piece to finding the equation of this line, and we can fill it into y=mx+b like this:

y=7/4x+b

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) points mean:

(1,4). When x of the line is 1, y of the line must be 4.

(-3,-3). When x of the line is -3, y of the line must be -3.

Because you said the line passes through each one of these two points, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: y=7/4x+b. b is what we want, the 7/4 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specifically passes through the two points (1,4) and (-3,-3).

So, why not plug in for x and y from one of our (x,y) points that we know the line passes through? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the two points you gave!.

You can use either (x,y) point you want..the answer will be the same:

(1,4). y=mx+b or 4=7/4 × 1+b, or solving for b: b=4-(7/4)(1). b=9/4.

(-3,-3). y=mx+b or -3=7/4 × -3+b, or solving for b: b=-3-(7/4)(-3). b=9/4.

See! In both cases we got the same value for b. And this completes our problem.

The equation of the line that passes through the points

(1,4) and (-3,-3)

is

y=7/4x+9/4
