Answer 2

Answer:

0.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's think about a few simple examples. Once you understand them, you

will be able to put them together to make harder problems.

Ex: What is 2 divided by 1/5? Here are 2 blocks:

    +---------+---------+

    |         |         |

    |         |         |

    |         |         |

    |         |         |

    |         |         |

    |         |         |

    |         |         |

    |         |         |

    |         |         |

    +---------+---------+

Here is 1/5 of a block (the shaded part):

    +---------+

    |XXXXXXXXX|

    +.........+

    |         |

    +.........+

    |         |

    +.........+

    |         |

    +.........+

    |         |

    +---------+

To divide 2 by 1/5, we divide 2 blocks into pieces the size of the 1/5

block.

    +---------+---------+

    |         |         |

    +.........+.........+

    |         |         |

    +.........+.........+

    |         |         |

    +.........+.........+

    |         |         |

    +.........+.........+

    |         |         |

    +---------+---------+

There are 10 pieces this size in the 2 blocks. In other words,

    2 divided by 1/5 = 10

That's the same as

    2 x 5 = 10

Do you see why? To make 1/5 size blocks, we had to make each whole

block into 5 pieces. In other words, we multiplied the number of

pieces by 5.

Next problem:

   2 divided by 2/5 = ?

Here is 2/5 of a block (the shaded part):

    +---------+

    |XXXXXXXXX|

    +.........+

    |XXXXXXXXX|

    +.........+

    |         |

    +.........+

    |         |

    +.........+

    |         |

    +---------+

Let's divide the 2 blocks into pieces this size.

    +---------+---------+

    |         |         |

    +         +         +

    |         |         |

    +.........+.........+

    |         |         |

    +         +         +

    |         |         |

    +.........+.........+

    |                   |

    +---------+---------+

The bottom block is a different shape, but it's the same size, because

it's made of 2 1/5-size pieces. Since the pieces we want are twice as

big, there are only 1/2 as many of them. The answer is

    2 divided by 2/5 = 10/2 = 5

This is the same as

    2 x 5/2 = 5

Do you see how the two equations are related? You take the fraction,

2/5, and "turn it upside down" (in math words, we say "invert the

fraction," or "take its reciprocal"). Then replace the division sign

by a multiplication sign.

Now we can tackle harder problems. The same method always works, even

if the answer isn't a whole number as in the simple examples. For

instance,

    5 divided by 3/8 = ?

Ex: Invert the fraction 3/8; you get 8/3. Then multiply by this fraction:

    5 x 8/3 = 40/3 = 13 1/3

We can even replace the whole number in the problem with a fraction,

like this:

    5/7 divided by 3/8 = ?

    5/7 x 8/3 = ?

     5     8     40       19

    --- x --- = ---- = 1 ----

     7     3     21       21

If you are comfortable with multiplying fractions, then you will have

no trouble dividing fractions. Just remember: invert the fraction you

are dividing by (the divisor), and multiply instead of dividing. Hope this helps! :)

(Answer due at 12:00 pm PDT)

Answers

Answer: I think its 39

Step-by-step explanation: I did the math

Jan's starting number was 10.

What are Numbers?

A number is an arithmetic value used for representing the quantity and used in making calculations.

Given that Jan doubled her starting number, added 5, subtract 7, divided by 3, then squared the result.

Let her original number be x

Therefore, {(2x +5 - 7)/3}² = 36

{(2x -2)/3}² = 36

(2x -2)/3 = 6

2x - 2 = 18

2x = 20

x = 10

Hence, Jan's starting number was 10.

at a 911 call center, calls come in at an average rate of one call every two minutes. assume that the time that elapses from one call to the next has the exponential distribution. Find the probability after a call is received, it takes more than 3 minutes for the next call to occur.

Answers

Using the exponential distribution, it is found that there is a 0.2231 = 22.31% probability after a call is received, it takes more than 3 minutes for the next call to occur.

What is the exponential distribution?

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

[tex]f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}[/tex]

In which [tex]\mu = \frac{1}{m}[/tex] is the decay parameter.

The probability of finding a value higher than x is:

[tex]P(X > x) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-\mu x}[/tex]

In this problem, the mean is of two minutes, hence the decay parameter is given by:

[tex]\mu = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5[/tex]

The probability that it takes more than 3 minutes for the next call to occur is given by:

[tex]P(X > 3) = e^{-0.5 \times 3} = 0.2231[/tex]

0.2231 = 22.31% probability after a call is received, it takes more than 3 minutes for the next call to occur.

According to the histogram, it is found that about 10% of the students took less than 40 minutes to complete the exam.

What is an histogram?

An histogram is a graph that shows the number of times each element of x was observed.

In this problem, out of a total of 29 students, the histogram states that:

1 student finished the exam in less than 10 minutes.2 students finished the exam in between 30 and 40 minutes.

...

12 students took between 70 and 80 minutes to finish the exam.

10% of 29 is given by:

0.1 x 29 = 2.9.

About 10% of 29 is of 3, hence, since 1 + 2 = 3, about 10% of the students took less than 40 minutes to complete the exam.

1/2(x - 4) = 5

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(x - 4) = 5                     - Given

1/2x - (1/2 * 4) = 5             - Distribute

1/2x - 2 = 5                       - Multiply 1/2 by 4

1/2x = 7                             - Add 2 to both sides of the equation

x = 14                                 - Divide both sides of the equal by 1/2

Question content area bottom
Part 1
Washington had enter your response here
hits. Sanchez had enter your response here
hits.

Answers

Answer:

denote the number of hits that sanchez had with since washington had 18 more hits than sanchez we can say that washington had + 18 hits.

since the total number of hits is 308 we can write

+ ( + 18) = 308.

This is an equation for finding .

2 + 18 = 308

2 = 290

= 145.

so sanchez had 145 hits.

to find the number of hits by washington add 18:

+ 18 = 145 + 18 = 163.

Answer: sanchez had 145 hits and washington had 163 hits.

If 81 is added to a number, the result is 39 less than three times the number. Find the number.

Answers

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

The number is represented as x.

81 is added to a number is

81 + x

39 less than three times the number

3x - 39

So

81 + x = 3x - 39

Solve for x.

81 + x = 3x - 39 Add 39 to each side so 39 cancels on the right.

81 + x + 39 = 3x - 39 + 39

81 + x + 39 = 3x

81 + 39 + x = 3x

120 + x = 3x Subtract x from each side.

120 + x - x = 3x - x

120 = 3x - x

120 = 2x    Divide each side by 2

120/2 = 2x/2

120/2 = x

60 = x

ty !​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

There are many ways to prove this identity. But, I will use the simplest one. If you have a right triangle, the length of the horizontal side is x, the length of the vertical side is y, and the hypotenuse is r. So, the relation between x and r can be written in cosine form:

[tex]\cos\theta=\frac{x}{r}[/tex]

The relation between y and r can be written in sine form:

[tex]\sin\theta=\frac{y}{r}[/tex]

Pythagoras told you that for the right triangle [tex]x^{2}+y^{2}=r^{2}[/tex] should be satisfied. Substitute x and y from the cosine and sine form:

[tex](r\cos\theta)^{2}+(r\sin\theta)^{2}=r^{2}[/tex]

[tex]r^{2}\cos^{2}\theta+r^{2}\sin^{2}\theta =r^{2}[/tex]

the square of r will cancel out, and you can get your identity:

[tex]\cos^{2}\theta+\sin^{2}\theta=1[/tex]
