I need to know how to work fractions word problems like Leon's older brother is 4 3/4 feet tall. Leon is 1/3 foot shorter than his brother. How tall is Leon?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

4 5/12 feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the LCM first. The LCM is the lowest common multiple between the two denominators. The LCM in this problem is 12, so you multiply each fraction until the denominators equal 12

4 3/4 -> 4 9/12

1/3 -> 4/12

Now it's much easier to solve. 4 9/12 - 4/12 = 4 5/12 feet tall

find y and round to the nearest tenth. thank you

Answers

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

31 degrees on the top would be equal to the angle in between x and 600ft, by the interior angles theorem.

That means we can solve for y using the trigonometric function of tangent.

[tex]tan(31) = \frac{y}{600}[/tex]

Multiply by 600 to both sides, then use a calculator to solve.

600(tan(31)) = x

x = 360.5163714

x ≈ 360.5 is the answer.

An economist conducts a nationwide survey to study the financial perceptions of US adults. Specifically, he asks a random sample of 1,000 US adults: “Financially, are you doing OK or are you struggling to get by?” The results of the survey show that 829 of the 1,000 participants said they are doing OK.

(a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of US adults who would say they are doing OK.

(b) Shortly thereafter, a similar study is conducted in Mexico with the intention of constructing a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of Mexican adults who would say they are doing OK. What is the smallest sample size that can be used to guarantee that the margin of error will be less than or equal to 0.01?

Answers

Answer:

a) (0.806, 0.852)

b)Margin of error ≤ 0.01

1.96*√{0.5*(1–0.5)/n} ≤ 0.01

√n ≥ 98

n ≥ 9604

b. -2 + 3x = -(x + 6)
Solve for x

Answers

Answer: x = -1

Work:

-(x + 6)
-x - 6


-2 + 3x = -x - 6

Put x to one side of the equation. This one will be on the left side. Add x to do so.

-2 + 4x = -6


Isolate x by adding 2.


4x = -4


Divide by 4 to isolate x for the final time.

one bar of candy A and two bars of candy B have 769 calories. Two bars of candy A and one bar of candy B contain 776 calories. Find the caloric content of each candy bar. ​

Hjqjzjzj is a complete* of the following elements has the largest atomic size in the world is the difference between human rights

Answer:

We know:

A+2B=777

2A+B=789

 

Let's rearrange the first equation to solve for A:

A=777-2B

 

Now let's plug 777-2B in for A in the second equation, and solve for B:

2(777-2B)+B=789

1554-4B+B=789

1554-789=3B

765=3B

B=255

 

Now we can substitute 255 in for B in the first rearranged equation, and solve for A:

A=777-2(255)

A=777-510

A=267

So candy bar A has 267 calories, and candy bar B has 255

Identify the digit with the given place value. 0.27845 hundredths​

Answers

Answer:

7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Place value can be defined as the numerical value representing a digit owing to its position in a number. Some examples of the various place values used in representing each digit are tenths, hundredths, thousandths, unit, tens, hundreds, thousands etc.

For example, in the number 0.27845;

The place value of 0 is units.The place value of 2 is tenths.The place value of 7 is hundredths. The place value of 8 is thousandths. The place value of 4 is ten thousandths. The place value of 5 is hundred thousandths.

Therefore, given the number 0.27845.

The digit representing hundredths in 0.27845 is 7.

A marine biologist wants to estimate the average weight of a population of dolphins living in a certain region of the ocean. The biologist will collect a random sample of dolphins and use the sample weights to create the estimate Which of the following is an appropriate method for the biologist to use for inference to the population?
A A one-sample t-interval for a population mean
B A one-sample t-interval for a sample mean
C A one-sample 2-interval for a population proportion
D A matched-pairs t-interval for a mean difference
E A two-sample t-interval for a difference between means

Answers

Answer:

A A one-sample t-interval for a population mean

Step-by-step explanation:

The biologist will collect a random sample of dolphins and use the sample weights to create the estimate.

In a confidence interval, we take the data from the sample and want to estimate it for the entire population, so the interval is for a population mean.

The standard deviation will be taken from the sample, which means that the t-interval is used.

We want for one population, so it is a one sample for the population mean, and the correct answer is given by option A.

Answers

Answer:

(a) 0

(b) 0.6

(c) 0.01

(d) 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Probabilities: 0, 0.01, 0.3, 0.6, 0.99, and 1 ---> Missing information

Required

Match the probabilities with appropriate values

(a) Impossible:

An impossible event will always have a probability of 0

(b) Occurrence is more often than not, but not extremely likely:

An event that will occur more often than not will have a probability greater than 0.5 but less than 1

However, if the likelihood is not extremely likely, the probability will be closer to 0.5 and 1.

The probability that matches this description is 0.6

(c) Occurrence is extremely unlikely, but will occur once in a while

An event that is extremely unlikely will have a value greater than 0 and the value will be very close to 0.

The probability that matches this description is 0.01

(d) A certain event:

A certain event has a probability of 1

The mass of a basket containing three balls was 3.64 kg. The mass of the same basket and five balls is 5.26 kg. Find the mass of the empty basket in kilograms?

Answers

Answer:

1.21

Step-by-step explanation:

5.26 - 3.64 = 1.62

1.62 ÷ 2 because the difference between 3 and 5 is two, the mass of one apple is 0.81 because 1.62 ÷ 2 = 0.81

so now we know one apple weights 0.81

if we multiply that 0.81 x 3 it will equal 2.43, so now the three apples alone wiegh 2.43...so now we look at the total weight of the whole basket with three apples, which is 3.64,

3.64 - the weigth of the apples (2.43)

3.64 - 2.43 = 1.21

the basket alone wieghts 1.21

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

An = 10 -10/2^n

the first 4 terms​ are :

A1 = 10 -10/2^1 = 10-5

A1 = 5

A2 = 10 -10/2^2 = 10-10/4 = 10-5/2 = (20-5)/2

A2 = 15/2

A3 = 10 -10/2^3 = 10-10/8 =10-  5/4 = (40-5)/4

A3 = 35/4

A4 = 10 -10/2^4 = 10-10/16 = 10-5/8 = (80-5)/8

Collect like terms

7x - 5x = -2 + 22

2x = 20

2x/2 = 20/2

x = 10

2. 13x - 6 = 10x + 24 (alternate interior angles are congruent)

Collect like terms

13x - 10x = 6 + 24

3x = 30

3x/3 = 30/3

x = 10

3. (12x + 26)° + 46° = 180° (same side interior angles are supplementary)

12x + 26 + 46 = 180

12x + 72 = 180

12x + 72 - 72 = 180 - 72

12x = 108

12x/12 = 108/12

x = 9

4. (5x + 5)° + 135° = 180° (same side interior angles are supplementary)

5x + 5 + 135 = 180

5x + 140 = 180

5x + 140 - 140 = 180 - 140

5x = 40

Fifteen students were registered in Section 1 and 15 students were registered in Section 2 of a research course. They took the same midterm exam, and their exam scores were distributed as follows: Section 1: 89, 56, 45, 78, 98, 45, 55, 77, 88, 99, 98, 97, 54, 34, 94 Section 2: 77, 88, 87, 67, 98, 87, 55, 77, 45, 44, 88, 99, 69, 67, 98 a.
