Answer:

1.26 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Mr. Snow bought 90 grams of Christmas candy for each of his 14 grandchildren. We are asked to find the amount of candy bought by Mr. Snow in kilograms.

First of all, we will find the amount of candy in grams by multiplying 90 grams by 14 as:

$\text{Amount of candy bought in grams}=14\times 90$

$\text{Amount of candy bought in grams}=1260$

We know that 1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams. To convert 1260 grams into kg, we will divide 1260 by 1000 as:

$\text{Amount of candy bought in kilograms}=\frac{1260}{1000}$

$\text{Amount of candy bought in kilograms}=1.26$

Therefore, Mr. Snow bought 1.26 kilograms of candy.

The area of a square concrete slab is 20 square feet. Find the side length of the square concrete slab if the area is increase b

guapka [62]

The side length of the square concrete slab if the area is increased by 25% is 5feet

The formula for calculating the area of a square is expressed as:

A = L² where:

L is the side length of the square

Given the area of the square concrete slab = 20 square feet

20 = L²

L =√20

If the area is increased by 25%, new area will be:

An = 20 + (0.25*20)

An = 20 + 5

An = 25 sq.ft

Get the new length

An = Ln²

25 = Ln²

Ln = √25

Ln = 5feet

Hence the side length of the square concrete slab if the area is increased by 25% is 5feet

The winning long jump at a track meet was 27 ft 10 in. Convert this distance to meters. Round to the nearest hundredth.

Allushta [10]

1 inch = 2.54 cm

27 feet 10 inches = 27 * 12 + 10 = 334 inches.

334 inches = 334 inches * 2.54 cm / inch = 848.36 cm

1 meter = 100 cm

x = 848.36 cm

Cross multiply

848.36 cm * 1 meter = 100 cm * x Divide both sides by 100

848.36 cm* meter/ 100 cm = x

8.48 meter = x

Answer 8.48 meters.

Samir is an expert marksman. When he takes aim at a particular target on the shooting range, there is a 0.950.950, point, 95 pro

bearhunter [10]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

Samir is an expert marksman. When he takes aim at a particular target on the shooting range, there is a 0.95 probability that he will hit it. One day, Samir decides to attempt to hit 10 such targets in a row.

Assuming that Samir is equally likely to hit each of the 10 targets, what is the probability that he will miss at least one of them?

Answer:

40.13%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'A' be the event of not missing a target in 10 attempts.

Therefore, the complement of event 'A' is $\overline A=\textrm{Missing a target at least once}$

Now, Samir is equally likely to hit each of the 10 targets. Therefore, probability of hitting each target each time is same and equal to 0.95.

Now, $P(A)=0.95^{10}=0.5987$

We know that the sum of probability of an event and its complement is 1.

So, $P(A)+P(\overline A)=1\\\\P(\overline A)=1-P(A)\\\\P(\overline A)=1-0.5987\\\\P(\overline A)=0.4013=40.13\%$

Therefore, the probability of missing a target at least once in 10 attempts is 40.13%.
