you have 12 cups of granola and 8 1/2 cups of peanuts to make trail mix. what is the greatest number of full batches of trail mix can you make?

Answers

Final answer:

To determine the greatest number of full batches of trail mix that can be made, divide the total quantity of each ingredient by the required amount per batch.

Explanation:

To determine the greatest number of full batches of trail mix that can be made, we need to compare the quantities of granola and peanuts. First, we calculate the number of full batches we can make using granola. Since each batch requires 12 cups of granola, we divide the total quantity of granola (12 cups) by the required amount per batch (12 cups). The result is 1 full batch.

Next, we determine how many batches we can make using the peanuts. Since each batch requires 8 1/2 cups of peanuts, we divide the total quantity of peanuts (8 1/2 cups) by the required amount per batch (8 1/2 cups). The result is 1 full batch.

Therefore, the greatest number of full batches of trail mix that can be made is 1 batch.

Use the vertical line test to determine if the relation {(-6, -2), (-2, 6), (o, 3), (3, 5)} is a function. Explain your response.

Answers

yes, the relation is a function because each domain value is paired with one range value. If you graph each ordered pair to check with the vertical line test, then the line will pass through each point only once.

Using the vertical line test, it is found that the relation is a function.

In the definition of a function, it has that for each input, there can only be one respective output, and the same is true for a relation, and the test of the number of outputs for each input is the vertical line test.

The relation is: {(-6, -2), (-2, 6), (0,3), (3,5)}

No repeated inputs, thus it passes the vertical line test and is a function.

to make fruit punch you need 3 cups of grape juice for every 5 cups of apple juice if you have 15 more cups of apple juice how many cups do you have total how many cups do you have for each flavor use tape diagram to show your answer

Answers

If you add 15 more cups to the 5 cups of apple juice, you would have 20 cups, and so I'm assuming you want to find how much cups of grape juice do you have. The ratio of grape juice to apple juice is 3:5. If you multiply the base, 5 cups of apple juice time 4, you get 20 cups of apple juice. So, all you need to do is multiply the 3 cups of grape juice by 4 also. And that would get you 12 cups. So when there is 20 cups of apple juice, there is 12  cups of grape juice.

Inductive reasoning involves developing a general rule from specific situations. True or false

Answer:

The answer is true

Step-by-step explanation:

Inductive reasoning is a principle in mathematical and philosophical logic where general conclusions are derived from specific situations. Its contrary is deductive reasoning where we use a general rule to explain particular situations, reasoning commonly used in mathermatics. Example: all right angles measure 90 degrees, AB is right angle so AB measure 90 degrees,

In inductive reasoning we use the opposite logic that can take to incorrect general principles due to a bias. Example, my friend is tall and a good basket player, Joe is tall and also plays good basketball so All tall people are good basket players is a biased conclusion.

Answers

A nonlinear function that can be written on the standard form

ax2+bx+c,wherea≠0ax2+bx+c,wherea≠0

is called a quadratic function.

All quadratic functions has a U-shaped graph called a parabola. The parent quadratic function is

y=x2y=x2


The lowest or the highest point on a parabola is called the vertex. The vertex has the x-coordinate

x=−b2ax=−b2a

The y-coordinate of the vertex is the maximum or minimum value of the function.

a > 0                   parabola opens up                    minimum value


a < 0                    parabola opens down              maximum value


A rule of thumb reminds us that when we have a positive symbol before x2we get a happy expression on the graph and a negative symbol renders a sad expression.

The vertical line that passes through the vertex and divides the parabola in two is called the axis of symmetry. The axis of symmetry has the equation

x=−b2ax=−b2a

The y-intercept of the equation is c.


When you want to graph a quadratic function you begin by making a table of values for some values of your function and then plot those values in a coordinate plane and draw a smooth curve through the points.

suppose an object is moving 66 feet per second. how fast would you have to drive in your car, in miles per hour, in order to keep up with this object?

Answers

There are 5280 ft in a mile
66/5280=
.0125 m/h
Final answer:

You would need to drive at around 96.67 miles per hour to keep up with the object.

Explanation:

To determine how fast you would have to drive in your car to keep up with an object moving at 66 feet per second, we need to convert the unit from feet per second to miles per hour. There are 5280 feet in a mile and 3600 seconds in an hour. Therefore, the conversion factor is 5280/3600 = 1.4667. Multiplying 66 by this conversion factor gives us approximately 96.67 miles per hour. So, you would need to drive at around 96.67 miles per hour to keep up with the object.

a company uses two vans to transport workers from a free parking lot to the work place between 7:00 and 9:00 am one van has 6 more seats than the other. the smaller van makes two trips every morning while the larger one only takes one trip. the two vans can transport 57 people, maximum. how many seats does the large van have?

Answers

So first, I would assign the small van a variable for how many people it can hold, or x.

So since it makes two trips,

2x

And since the other van can hold six more people,

2x + x + 6

And 57 people are transported:

3x + 6 = 57

We can then solve.

3x = 57 - 6

3x = 51

x = 17

So since we now know a small can hold 17 people, and we know that the larger van has 6 more seats, we can just say

17 + 6 = 23

So the large van has 23 seats.

Answer is A.

A circle is a curve sketched out by a point moving in a plane. The correct option is A, 137°.

What is a circle?

A circle is a curve sketched out by a point moving in a plane so that its distance from a given point is constant; alternatively, it is the shape formed by all points in a plane that are at a set distance from a given point, the centre.

In the given figure since W is the midpoint of ZY, therefore, the measure of arc ZV and arc VY will be equal; and ZX and XY will be equal. Also, it is given that the measure of arc ZV is 43°. Therefore, we can write,

mZV + mVY + mXY + mXZ = 360°

43° + 43° + mXY + mXY = 360°

2(mXY) = 360° - 43° - 43°

mXY = 274/2

mXY = 137°

Hence, the measure of arc XY is 137°.

Answers

Multiply 7 x 462 using place value and expanded form
Final answer:

To multiply 7 x 462 using place value and expanded form, we first write 462 as the sum of the products of its digits and their place values (400 + 60 + 2). We then multiply each component by 7 and add the results to get 3234.

Explanation:

To multiply 7 x 462 using place value and expanded form, you first need to break down the number 462 into expanded form. This means you write it as the sum of the products of its digits and their place values. We start at the right and move to the left: 2 (units), 60 (tens), and 400 (hundreds). So 462 in expanded form is 400 + 60 + 2.

The next step is to multiply each component by 7: 7 x 400 = 2800, 7 x 60 = 420, and 7 x 2 = 14. You add those results together to get your final answer: 2800 + 420 + 14 = 3234. So, 7 x 462 = 3234.

Answers

Answer: C P’(9,-6), L’(3,1)

Final answer:

The coordinates of P' and L' after the translation are (9, -6) and (3, 1) respectively.

Explanation:

A translation rule in mathematics describes the process of moving a geometric figure from one location to another without changing its shape or orientation. It involves shifting the figure horizontally or vertically by a certain distance. Translation rules are essential in geometry and are used to analyze and manipulate shapes on a coordinate plane.

The segment PL has endpoints P(4, -6) and L(-2, 1). To find the coordinates of P' and L' after being translated using the mapping (x, y) → (x + 5, y), we simply add 5 to the x-coordinates of P and L. Therefore, the coordinates of P' are (4 + 5, -6) which is equal to (9, -6), and the coordinates of L' are (-2 + 5, 1) which is equal to (3, 1).
