Kareem wrote an exam which had 30 questions. Each question he answers correctly gets him 10
marks. However, he loses 5 marks for each question he answers incorrectly. He attempted all the
questions and got a total of 180 marks. How many questions did he answer wrong?

Answers

Answer 1

Total number of questions = 30 questions.

Each correct answer gets = 10 marks.

Marks deducted for each wrong answer = 5 marks.

Total marks scored by Kareem = 180 marks.

If Kareem had attended all the questions, then

Let 'α' be the number of questions he answered wrong, then the number of questions answered correctly by him, will be = (30 - α)

Then we have,

Total marks obtained = (correct answers x 10 marks ) - (wrong answers x 5 marks )

that is.,

180 = [(30 - α) x 10] - [α  x  5] = 300 - 10α - 5α

180 - 300 = -15α

α =  120/15  = 8 questions.

Therefore, 8 questions were answered wrong by Kareem.

a bakery uses 3 3/5 cups of oats to make 2 4/7 pounds of oatmeal cookies how many cups of oats are required per pound of cookies

Answers

Answer: 7/5 or 1 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so the bakery uses 3 3/5 cups cups of oats for 2 4/7 POUNDS of cookies.

You need to find the unit price.

So to get from 2 4/7 to 1, you need to divide 2 4/7 by 2 4/7

You need to do the same thing to 3 3/5 cups.

3 3/5 as an improper fraction is 18/5

2 4/7 as an improper fraction is 18/7

Now to divide you need to keep, change, and flip

keep the 18/5, change the sign to multiplycation, and flip the 18/7 to 7/18

18/5*7/18=7/5

7/5 or 1 2/5 pounds of outs are required to make 1 pound of oatmeal cookies

TEST SCORES The average test score in a class is 74%. Half of the class scored within 7 points of the average.
One student received a score of x%. Which shows an expression that could be used to determine how far the student's score is from the average?
A. |74-7|
B. |x|-74
C. |x-74|
D. 74-|7|

Answers

It is to be noted that the absolute expression that shows how far the student's score is from the average is given as: "| x - 74| (Option C)

What is the justification for the above result?

The student obtained a score of x% based on the question. As a result, x% might be larger or lower than the average score of 74%.

To establish how distant the student's score is from the average, we must subtract the student's score from the average score; i.e. (x - 74)

This difference, however, might be negative: as a result, the absolute value of (x - 78) must be calculated, yielding |x - 74|.

As a result, the phrase that may be used to assess how distant the student's score is from the average is as follows: |x - 74| which is the same as option c - An Absolute expression.

Absolute expressions are or modulus of a real number x, abbreviated |x| in mathematics, is the non-negative value of x regardless of its sign.

Answers

JK is perpendicular to a line that has a slope

What is Slope?

The ratio of how much y grows as x grows by a certain amount is known as a line's slope. The slope of a line indicates how steep it is, or how much y rises as x rises. Anywhere along the line, the slope remains constant (the same).

Two lines, L1 and L2, with slopes m1 and m2 are perpendicular if

m1 x m2 = -1.

In our case m1 = 1

1 x m2 = -1

m2 = -2

so the slope of the perpendicular line is -2.

( -2 x (1) = -1).

As x increases, the line with a slope of -2 increases. Line JK is the only line displayed that fits this. Line AB cannot be the solution because it is "falling" as x grows.

A car's velocity is modeled by v(t) = 0.5t^2 -14t+ 80 for 0 less than or equal to t less than or equal 14, where the velocity is in feet per second and time is in seconds. Where does the car come to a complete stop?

Answers

The car stops after moving for 20 seconds

How to determine when the car comes to a stop?

From the question, the function is given as

v(t) = 0.5t^2 - 14t + 80

When the car comes to a stop, the vehicle is 0

This is represented as

v(t) = 0

So, we have

0.5t^2 - 14t + 80 = 0

Expand the equation

0.5t^2 - 10t - 4t + 80 = 0

Factorize the equation

0.5t(t - 20) - 4(t - 20) = 0

So, we have

(0.5t - 4)(t - 20) = 0

Solve for t

t = 8 and t  = 20

20 is greater than 8

Hence, the car comes to a stop at 20 seconds

Answers

Answer:

The answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

If you substitute every x value for 5, you know that every equation can have 5 as an answer but C.

A. 3x+2=4x-3

Isolate the x(s) and combine like terms

3x+2-2=4x-3-2

3x=4x-5

3x-4x=4x-4x-5

-x=-5

-x(-1)=-5(-1)

x=5

Therefore A is a solution

B. (x+2)(x-5)=0

Substitution--Substitute every x for a 5

(7)(0)=0

anything multiplied by 0 will be 0

B. Is a solution because it is true.

C. 4x+2=15

Isolating the x(s) and combine like terms

4x+2-2=15-2

4x=13

4x÷4=13÷4

x=3.25

C is not a solution because x should equal to 5 but in this equation x can only be equal to 3.25. C is wrong.

We know our answer so we don't have to keep solving the rest of the equations.

What is a dilation transformation?

A dilation transformation resizes an object such that the lengths of the sides of the image (the object formed) following the dilation of the original image has sides that are a constant multiple of the side lengths of the original object.

The center of dilation is a reference and fixed point, such that the center of is in the same location relative to the preimage and the image.

2^5 / 5 remainder = 2

2^6 / 5 remainder = 4

2^7 / 5 remainder = 3

2^8 / 5 remainder = 1

2^9 / 5 remainder = 2

2^10 / 5 remainder = 4

2^11 / 5 remainder = 3

It can be seen that it generates a pattern which is

The pattern counts in 4's. If we follow the pattern and count to 2^30

Answers

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Given, that determine the number of trout in a lake, a conservationist catches 200 trout, tags them, and throws them back into the lake.  

We have to find conservationists who expect to be in the lake.

Now, initially, trout count = 200

Then, again 56 trouts caught then, trout count = 200 + 56

But 14 of them are tagged that means; they are part of 200 trouts so we should not count again in 56 trouts.

So, trout count = 200 + 56 – 14  = 142.
