A restaurant uses 3 pounds of pasta for a party of 14 people. If they are cooking pasta for a party of 56 people, what should they do?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: If you would like to know how many pounds of pasta the restaurant will need, you can calculate this using the following steps:

3 pounds of pasta ... 14 people
x pounds of pasta = ? ... 56 people

3 * 56 = 14 * x      /14
x = 3 * 56 / 14
x = 12 pounds of pasta

The correct result would be 12 pounds of pasta.

A bottle of orange juice hlds 4/6 quart of juice. A bottle of pineapple juice holds 2/3 quart of juice. Which bottle has more juice? Hoe do you know?

Answers

Answer:

Both bottles holds same amount of juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a bottle of orange juice holds (4)/(6) quart of juice. A bottle of pineapple juice holds (2)/(3) quart of juice. We are asked to which bottle has more juice.

First of all, we will reduce the fraction representing orange juice to lowest terms as shown below:

(4)/(6)=(2*2)/(2*3)=(2)/(3)

Since both fractions are equivalent, therefore, both bottles hold same amount of juice.

2/3 because 2 is close to 3 and 4 isnt very close to 6

If a seed is planted, it has a 75% chance of growing into a healthy plant.If 6 seeds are planted, what is the probability that exactly 1 doesn't grow?

Answers

Final answer:

Using the binomial probability formula, the probability that exactly 1 out of 6 seeds doesn't grow is approximately 0.119 or 11.9%.

Explanation:

This question revolves around the concept of binomial probability. The binomial distribution model is an appropriate statistical model here since there are a fixed number of trials (6 seed plantings), each trial (seed planting) is independent, and each trial results in one of two outcomes: success (plant grows) or failure (plant doesn’t grow).

The binomial probability formula is P(X=k) = C(n, k)*(p^k)*(q^(n-k)), where 'n' is the number of trials (6 in this case), 'k' is the number of 'successes' we're interested in (5 in this case, since we want only 1 seed - out of 6 - not to grow), 'p' is the probability of success, and 'q' is the probability of failure.

Here, to calculate the probability, p (probability of successful growth) is 0.75 and q (probability of not growing) is 0.25 (= 1 - 0.75).

So, P(5 plants grow and 1 doesn’t) = C(6, 5) * (0.75^5) * (0.25^1) = 0.119.

So, the probability that exactly 1 out of 6 seeds does not grow is approximately 0.119 or 11.9%. This scenario is also known as binomial distribution scenario.

Answer:

9.72405%

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial Probability

(N choose k) p^k (1-p)^(n-k)

N=7  seeds planted

p= 100% - 70% = 30% = 0.3 <--- we are interested in the plant NOT growing

(1-p) = 70% = 0.7  <--- 70% chance the plant will survive and grow

k=4  <--- we want four of them to fail

The probability is:

 (7 choose 4) * (0.3)^4  (0.7)^3 =

 7!/(4!3!) (0.3)^4 (0.7)^3  =

 (7*6*5/3*2) (0.3)^4 (0.7)^3 =

 7*5 (0.3)^4 (0.7)^3 =

 35 * 0.0081 * 0.343 = 0.0972405 = 9.72405%

What is 16.81 rounded to the nearest tenth and whole #

Answers

16.81 rounded to the nearest tenth would be 16.8 because 1 is less than 5 so the 8 would stay the same
16.81 rounded to the neared whole number would be 17 because 8 is more than 5 so 6 is rounded up

Hope this helped! :))
The tenths place is the place right after the decimal point. When rounding, you look at the next place over (which would be the hundredths place in this case) and look at the number closely. If it is 5 or more than 5, the hundredths place disappears and becomes 16.8. When rounding to a whole number, you do practically the same thing but you look at the ones place (the place right before the decimal point) and look at the next place over (tenths place). Again, is it 5 or more? Yes, so you round up to 17 and get rid of the tenths place and everything after.

What is the expanded form of 430,290,100

Answers

So,

When you write a number in expanded form, you separate each non-zero digit and write it according to its place value.

430,290,100

400,000,000
30,000,000

We don't put anything for the millions place because there are none.

200,000
90,000
100

Then we join each of them with a plus sign.

400,000,000 + 30,000,000 + 200,000 + 90,000 + 100
You would break each part down as if it was an addition problem....
400,000,000+30,000,000+200,000+90,000+100
