The weight of outlet boxes is proportional to the volume of boxes involved. if 400 boxes weigh 120 pounds, how much would 500 boxes weigh?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

150 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

set up proportion

400/120 = 500/x

cross multiply
120x500 = 400x

then simplify

60000 = 400x

solve for x

60000/400 = x


x = 150

600 can be written as 2a x b x cd where a,b,c and d are all prime numbers find the values of a, b, c and d

Answers

The prime factorisation of 600 is given by

[tex]600 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 5 \times 5 = 2^3 \times 3 \times 5^2[/tex]

Therefore, a = 3, b = 3, c = 5 and d = 2.

600 can be written as [tex]\(2^3 \times 3^1 \times 5^2\)[/tex], where 2, 3, and 5 are prime numbers.

To express 600 as the product of prime numbers, we'll use prime factorization.

Prime factorization involves breaking down a number into its prime factors.

Here's how we can do it:

Step 1 :

**Start with the smallest prime number, 2:**

  [tex]\( 600 \div 2 = 300 \)[/tex]

  [tex]\( 300 \div 2 = 150 \)[/tex]

  [tex]\( 150 \div 2 = 75 \)[/tex]

Step 2 :

**Next, continue with the next smallest prime number, 3:**

  [tex]\( 75 \div 3 = 25 \)[/tex]

  [tex]\( 25 \div 5 = 5 \)[/tex]

Step 3 :

**Now, we can't divide further by smaller prime numbers, so we try dividing by the next smallest prime, 5:**

  [tex]\( 5 \)[/tex] is already a prime number.

Step 4 :

**There are no more prime factors to consider, so we stop.**

Now, let's write down the prime factors we obtained:

[tex]\[ 600 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 5 \times 5 \][/tex]

So, [tex]\( a = 2 \), \( b = 2 \), \( c = 3 \), and \( d = 5 \).[/tex]

Therefore, we can write:

[tex]\[ 600 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 5 \times 5 \][/tex]

Thus, [tex]\( 600 \)[/tex] can be written as [tex]\( 2^3 \times 3^1 \times 5^2 \)[/tex], where [tex]\( 2, 3, \) and \( 5 \)[/tex] are all prime numbers.

For what value(s) of x is g continuous? g(x) = 0 if x is rational 4x if x is irrational x is in the set of real numbers x = 4 x = −4 x = 0 none of these

Answers

when you move the x to the other side it should be easier to solve for the irrational question.

Final answer:

The function g(x), being different for rational and irrational numbers, is nowhere continuous on the set of real numbers because it cannot satisfy the condition for continuity at any point.

Explanation:

We are asked to determine for what values of x the function g(x) is continuous. The function is defined to be 0 if x is rational, and 4x if x is irrational, over the set of real numbers. First, let's understand a key concept: for a function to be continuous at a point, the limit of the function as it approaches the point from either direction must be equal to the function's value at that point. In the case of g(x), the function takes the value of 0 for all rational numbers, but instantly changes to 4x for irrational numbers which are densely populated around every rational number.

Since the value of g(x) for rationals (0) is different from the nearby values for irrationals (which would be non-zero and depend on x), g(x) does not have a limit that equals its value at rational points and thus cannot be continuous at any rational number. Moreover, at irrational values of x, we cannot have continuity either, as any neighborhood around an irrational number contains rational numbers where g(x) would suddenly jump to 0, disrupting the limit process once again.

Therefore, the function g(x) is nowhere continuous on the set of real numbers since it cannot satisfy the condition for continuity at any point. Hence, the correct answer to the given question is 'none of these'.

A. Why is the first product less than 3/4?
B. Why is the second product equal to 3/4?
C. Why is the third product greater than 3/4?

Answers

A because you are multiplying 3/4 by 1/2, you make the product smaller than 3/4

B beacue any number multiplied by one remains that number, since you are multiplying 3/4 by 1 it will remaim 3/4

C because the number multiplied by 3/4 is larger than 1 ( 3/2 = 1 1/2) the product will be larger than 3/4

Out of 25 students in mrs. Green class 19 have a pet what percent of students in mrs. Green class don't have a pet

Answers

25 is our base, so, we need to find out what 19 out of 25 is what percentage. Let's just start with something a little small, like 30%
(We can experiment with different percentages using our trusty calculator)

30% of 25 = 7.5

We are way off, we need to bring it a bit higher if it is to reach 19. Let's try 67%

67% of 25 = 16.75

Not quite but close, lets try something a bit higher, like 76%.

76% of 25 = 19

So, 19 out of 25 is 76% all we need to do now is subtract that from 100 to get the remaining percentage.

100 - 76 = 24

Lisa's coffee shop makes a blend that is a mixture of two types of coffee type A coffee cost Lisa $4.50 per pound and type B coffee cost $5.50 per pound. This month's blend uses three times as many pounds of type B coffee as type A, for a total cost of $634.50. How many pounds of type a coffee were used?

Answers

141 type a coffees 2326.50 type b coffees

The number of pounds of coffee used is 30 pounds.

Given data:

Let x be the number of pounds of type A coffee used.

Since the blend uses three times as many pounds of type B coffee as type A, the number of pounds of type B coffee used is 3x.

The cost of type A coffee is $4.50 per pound, so the cost of x pounds of type A coffee is 4.50x dollars.

The cost of type B coffee is $5.50 per pound, so the cost of 3x pounds of type B coffee is 5.50 * 3x = 16.50x dollars.

The total cost of the blend is $634.50, so the equation is:

4.50x + 16.50x = 634.50

Combine like terms:

21x = 634.50

On solving for x:

x = 634.50 / 21

x = 30

Hence, 30 pounds of type A coffee were used in the blend.

The total area of this shape is 44 square inches. The area of the triangle is 20 square inches. Write and solve an equation to find the area of the rectangle

Answers

44-20=20 square inches

Answer:

The equation is:  x + 20 = 44

The area of the rectangle is 24 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total area of the shape is 44 square inches.

The area of the triangle is 20 square inches.

We need to find the area of the rectangle.

Total area = Area of the triangle + Area of the rectangle.

Let "x" be the area of the rectangle.

So the equation is

44 = 20 + x

This can be written as x + 20 = 44

Now let's find the value fo x.

Subtract 20 from both sides, we get

x + 20 - 20 = 44 - 20

x = 24 square inches.

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 24 inches.

Train A and train B leave a central station at the same time. They travel the same speed, but in opposite directions, with train A heading towards station A, and train B heading towards station B.

so, keeping in mind that both trains are going at the same speed, say speed of "r" mph, after 212 hours A arrived at station A and after 4 hours, B arrived at station B.

now, the distance covered by train A is say "d", we know both stations are 585 miles apart, so, if train A covered "d" miles in those 212 hours, then train B covered the slack from 585 and d, that is "585 - d".
