On his way to a job site, Spencer stops to buy bags of concrete mix. Each bag weighs 60 pounds. Spencer’s truck can carry at most 1,700 pounds, and he already has 320 pounds of tools and other equipment in his truck. What are the possible numbers of bags of concrete mix Spencer can buy?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

28 bags but see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by subtracting 320 from 1700

1700 - 320 = 1680

Now he can buy any number of bags as long as he doesn't go over 1680 pounds. Let's see what that means

1680 / 60 = 28 bags of cement.

The answer to the math problem is 28 bags.

In real life, you likely want to trim it that close. What if you hit a bump. That would be very hard on the springs. I'd drop it down to 26 bags if I was actually transporting  concreate mix.

He could by any number of bags between 1 and 28 in a math class and a few less in actual practice.

Answer:

Fast ball challenge

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Slow Ball Challenge

[tex]Pitches = 7[/tex]

[tex]P(Hit) = 80\%[/tex]

[tex]Win = \$60[/tex]

[tex]Lost = \$10[/tex]

Fast Ball Challenge

[tex]Pitches = 3[/tex]

[tex]P(Hit) = 70\%[/tex]

[tex]Win = \$60[/tex]

[tex]Lost = \$10[/tex]

Required

Which should he choose?

To do this, we simply calculate the expected earnings of both.

Considering the slow ball challenge

First, we calculate the binomial probability that he hits all 7 pitches

[tex]P(x) =^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n - x}[/tex]

Where

[tex]n = 7[/tex] --- pitches

[tex]x = 7[/tex] --- all hits

[tex]p = 80\% = 0.80[/tex] --- probability of hit

So, we have:

[tex]P(x) =^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n - x}[/tex]

[tex]P(7) =^7C_7 * 0.80^7 * (1 - 0.80)^{7 - 7}[/tex]

[tex]P(7) =1 * 0.80^7 * (1 - 0.80)^0[/tex]

[tex]P(7) =1 * 0.80^7 * 0.20^0[/tex]

Using a calculator:

[tex]P(7) =0.2097152[/tex] --- This is the probability that he wins

i.e.

[tex]P(Win) =0.2097152[/tex]

The probability that he lose is:

[tex]P(Lose) = 1 - P(Win)[/tex] ---- Complement rule

[tex]P(Lose) = 1 -0.2097152[/tex]

[tex]P(Lose) = 0.7902848[/tex]

The expected value is then calculated as:

[tex]Expected = P(Win) * Win + P(Lose) * Lose[/tex]

[tex]Expected = 0.2097152 * \$60 + 0.7902848 * \$10[/tex]

Using a calculator, we have:

[tex]Expected = \$20.48576[/tex]

Considering the fast ball challenge

First, we calculate the binomial probability that he hits all 3 pitches

[tex]P(x) =^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n - x}[/tex]

Where

[tex]n = 3[/tex] --- pitches

[tex]x = 3[/tex] --- all hits

[tex]p = 70\% = 0.70[/tex] --- probability of hit

So, we have:

[tex]P(3) =^3C_3 * 0.70^3 * (1 - 0.70)^{3 - 3}[/tex]

[tex]P(3) =1 * 0.70^3 * (1 - 0.70)^0[/tex]

[tex]P(3) =1 * 0.70^3 * 0.30^0[/tex]

Using a calculator:

[tex]P(3) =0.343[/tex] --- This is the probability that he wins

i.e.

[tex]P(Win) =0.343[/tex]

The probability that he lose is:

[tex]P(Lose) = 1 - P(Win)[/tex] ---- Complement rule

[tex]P(Lose) = 1 - 0.343[/tex]

[tex]P(Lose) = 0.657[/tex]

The expected value is then calculated as:

[tex]Expected = P(Win) * Win + P(Lose) * Lose[/tex]

[tex]Expected = 0.343 * \$60 + 0.657 * \$10[/tex]

Using a calculator, we have:

[tex]Expected = \$27.15[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Expected = \$20.48576[/tex] -- Slow ball

[tex]Expected = \$27.15[/tex] --- Fast ball

The expected earnings of the fast ball challenge is greater than that of the slow ball. Hence, he should choose the fast ball challenge.

Point F is on the line CD. Find the measure of angle CFE

Answers

Answer:

∠ CFE and ∠ DFE are adjacent angles and are supplementary, sum to 180°

∠ CFE + 152° = 180° ( subtract 152° from both sides )

∠ CFE = 28°

Step-by-step explanation:

Adjacent angles share the common side as well as a common vertex (corner point), and they do not overlap. If we decompose the term "adjacent angles".

Adjacent angles:

Its common side and vertex will be shared by the adjacent angles.If the total of two angles equals 180°, they are said to be supplementary angles.A linear pair is created when two additional angles are next to one another. 180° is equal to the sum of two adjacent supplementary angles.

We have,

∠ EFD = 152°

∠ CFE and ∠ DFE are adjacent angles and are supplementary, summing to 180°

⇒ ∠CFE + ∠EFD = 180° (Linear pair)

⇒ ∠CFE +152° = 180°

⇒ ∠CFE= 180°-152°

⇒ ∠CFE= 28°

Assuming you want the equation.

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

Here (h, k ) = (8, 15 ) and r = 3 , then

Option D is correct, the  pair (4,6,7) is not a Pythagorean triple

The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.

A Pythagorean triple is a set of three positive integers a, b, and c that satisfy this theorem (a² + b² = c²).

Checking each of the given options, we have:

A. (5, 12, 13):

5² + 12² = 25 + 144 = 169 = 13². This is a Pythagorean triple.

B. (6, 8, 10):

6² + 8² = 36 + 64 = 100 = 10². This is also a Pythagorean triple.

C. (9, 12, 15):

9² + 12² = 81 + 144 = 225 = 15². This is a Pythagorean triple.

D. (4, 6, 7):
