5000 nails in five boxes. the first and second boxes have 2700 nails all together. the second and the third boxes have 2000 nails all together. the third and fourth boxes have 1800 nails all together. the fourth and the fifth boxes have 1700 nails all together. how many nails are in each box

Answers

Answer 1

The number of nails in each box is: 1300, 1400, 600, 1200, and 500

Given 5000 nails in five boxes.

Let X denote the universal set.

Then n(X) = 5000.

Let A denote the first box,

B denote the second box,

C denote the third box,

D denote the fourth box, and

E denotes the fifth box.

The first and second boxes have 2700 nails altogether.

⇒n(A ∪ B) = 2700

The second and third boxes have 2000 nails altogether.

⇒n(B ∪ C) = 2000

The third and fourth boxes have 1800 nails altogether.

⇒n(C ∪ D) = 1800

The fourth and fifth boxes have 1700 nails altogether.

⇒n(D ∪ E) = 1700

We need to find out how many nails are there in each box.

That is to find out: n(A), n(B), n(C), n(D), and n(E).

Note that all these five sets are disjoint. This means that the intersection is empty.

n(A ∪ B ∪ C ∪ D) = n(A ∪ B) + n(C ∪ D) = 2700 + 1800 = 4500

n(E) = n(X) - n(A ∪ B ∪ C ∪ D) = 5000 - 4500 = 500

n(D) = n(D ∪ E) - n(E) = 1700 - 500 = 1200

n(C) = n(C ∪ D) - n(D) = 1800 - 1200 = 600

n(B) = n(B U C) - n(C) = 2000 - 600 = 1400

n(A) = n(A U B) - n(B) = 2700 - 1400 = 1300

Therefore, the number of nails in each box is 1300, 1400, 600, 1200, and 500.

Ryan collects rainwater in a barrel for his garden. The barrel is filled with 18 gallons of water. Ryan used 9.7 gallons to water his garden in June and 3 and one eighth gallons in July. How much water is left in the barrel?

24.575 gallons
5.175 gallons
3.168 gallons
3.125 gallons

Answers

The quantity of water left in the barrel is 5.175 gallons. The correct option is the second option 5.175 gallons

Calculating quantity

From the question, we are to determine how much water is left in the barrel

From the given information,

"The barrel is filled with 18 gallons of water"

and

"Ryan used 9.7 gallons to water his garden in June"

After this time,

The quantity of water that would be left in the barrel will be 18 gallons - 9.7 gallons

= 8.3 gallons

Then,

3 and one eighth gallons in July

3 and one eighth = 3 1/8 = 3.125 gallons

The quantity of water that would be left is 8.3 gallons - 3.125 gallons

= 5.175 gallons

Hence, the quantity of water left in the barrel is 5.175 gallons. The correct option is the second option 5.175 gallons

Answers

The fraction that represents the part of a whole, which is shaded gold is 3/7.

What is fraction?

In Mathematics, fractions are represented as a numerical value, which defines a part of a whole.

Given is a big green rectangle divided into seven equal segments. From the image, it can be seen that 3 segments out of the seven are colored with gold. Therefore, we can write that -

Number of segments colored = n[c] = 3

Total segments = n[T] = 7

We know that a fraction defines a part of a whole. The green Rectangle is one whole, therefore it can be concluded that -

1 whole = 7 segments = n[T].

Number of segments colored = n[c] = 3.

Therefore, we can say that the fraction that represents the part of a whole, which is shaded gold is given by -

n[c] / n[T] = 3 / 7

Therefore, the fraction that represents the part of a whole, which is shaded gold is 3/7.

B: 5m=19−55.55 m is equal to 19 minus 55 point 5

C: m=55.5−195m is equal to the fraction with numerator 55 point 5 minus 19 and denominator 5

D: 55.5=19m+555 point 5 is equal to 19 m plus 5

Answers

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

Trust me

The equation that could be used to determine, m, is 5m = 55.5 - 19. The correct option is C. m = (55.5 - 19)/5

Writing equation

From the question, we are to determine the equation that could be used to determine, m, the average number of miles she would have to ride to meet her goal

From the given information,

"Arianys wants to ride her bicycle 55.5 miles"

and

"She has already ridden 19 miles"

Thus,

The number of miles she needs to ride more is

55.5 miles - 19 miles

= 36.5 miles

If m is the average number of miles she would have to ride for 5 more days to complete her goal,

Then, we can write that  

m = 36.5/5

OR

m = (55.5 - 19)/5

Hence, the equation that could be used to determine, m, is 5m = 55.5 - 19. The correct option is C. m = (55.5 - 19)/5

Use the factor theorem to write a polynomial equation that has solutions of 2, -2, and 4. (Hint: Suppose the solutions of a quadratic equation are 3 and 5. This means that x = 3 or x = 5 which gives us x - 3 = 0 or x - 5 = 0. The expressions are the factors of the polynomial which means that the equation is (x - 3)(x - 5) = 0.)

Answers

The equation of the polynomial with the given roots of 2, -2, and 4 is x³ - 4x² - 4x + 16 = 0.

What is the polynomial equation that has solutions of 2, -2, and 4?

Roots are the points where the graph intercepts with the x-axis ( y = 0 ).

Given the roots in the question;

x = 2, -2, 3

Now, the root of x = 2 was found solving for x when x - (2) = y but y = 0.

Hence, (x - 2) is a factor.

Next, the root of x = -2 was found solving for x when x - (-2) = y but y = 0.

Hence, (x + 2) is a factor

And the root of x = 4 was found solving for x when x - (4) = y but y = 0.

Hence, (x + 2) is a factor

Now, combine all the factors into a single equation and simplify.

( x-2 )( x + 2 )( x - 4 ) = y

( x² + 2x - 2x - 4 )( x - 4) = 0

( x² - 4 )( x - 4) = 0

x( x² - 4 ) -4( x² - 4 ) = 0

x³ - 4x - 4x² + 16 = 0

x³ - 4x² - 4x + 16 = 0

x³ - 4x² - 4x + 16 = 0

Therefore, the equation of the polynomial with the given roots of 2, -2, and 4 is x³ - 4x² - 4x + 16 = 0.

Data interpretation refers to the process of using diverse analytical methods to review data and arrive at relevant conclusions. The interpretation of data helps researchers to categorize, manipulate, and summarize the information in order to answer critical questions.

The importance of data interpretation is evident and this is why it needs to be done properly. Data is very likely to arrive from multiple sources and has a tendency to enter the analysis process with haphazard ordering. Data analysis tends to be extremely subjective. That is to say, the nature and goal of interpretation will vary from business to business, likely correlating to the type of data being analyzed. While there are several different types of processes that are implemented based on individual data nature, the two broadest and most common categories are “quantitative analysis” and “qualitative analysis”

The vertex of a parabola is at (p, q). As for the axis of symmetry, the p value is 8, and in this function the q value is 3. So the vertex is at (8,3).

With this information, the x and y intercepts, and a few other points found by plugging in x values and solving for y, you will be able to graph this parabola. Your graph, if done properly, will look like the following:
