Answer: 20.75 feet

Explanation:

First of all, let's write down the length and the width of the swimming pool:

- Length: $L=72.25 ft$

- Width: $W=51.5 ft$

The problem is asking us to find how much longer is the pool than it is wide, so it is basically asking us to find the difference between the length and the width of the pool, which is equal to:

$d=L-W=72.25 ft-51.5 ft=20.75 ft$

So, the answer is 20.75 feet.

Ellen thinks that if a line has no slope, then it never touches the y-axis. Which line proves that her statement is incorrect?

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

A horizontal line has no slope. The equation 'y=1' graphs as a horizontal line. It passes (0,1). So, it touches the y-axis.

A line with an undefined slope does not touch the y-axis. It is vertical.

Option D should be the correct answer.

A manager states that his process is really working well. Out of 1,500 parts, 1,477 were produced free of a particular defect an

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The answer is explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1

Out of 1500 units produced by a company 1,477 are found to be free of a particular type of defect. One needs to rate the performance based on Six Sigma Theory.

STEP 2

Manager can define the performance of a product using defects per million units DPMO metric

DPMO can be find by using

DPMO = Total number of defects in a sample/ No. of opportunities of per error per unit x No. of units * 1,000,000

= 1500 - 1477/ 1 x 1500* 1,000,000

= 23/1500

= 15,333,33

The defect rate of the process can be find by

Defect rate = No. of defects/ No. of units * 100

= 1500 - 1477/1500 * 100

= 23/1500 * 100

= 1.53%

Six Sigma theory focuses on achieving 3.4 defects per million for a certain period of time. However in this, performance of the process is not as good as stated by the manager.

Farmer Bill sold potatoes at the farm market. He sold a quarter to the first person, 4/9 of what was left to the second person,

mel-nik [20]

Answer: 120 lb of potatoes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the pounds of potatoes sold by farmer Bill = X lb

Fractional part sold to the first person = 1/4

Therefore 1/4 of X = 1/4 x X

= X/4 lb of potatoes.

No of potatoes left for sale = X - X/4

= ( 4x - x )/4

= 3x/4 lb.

Fractional part sold to the second person out of the reminder = 4/9

Therefore 4/9 of 3x/4 = 4/9 x 3x/4

= x/3 lb of potatoes.

Amount of potatoes left for sale = 3x/4 - x/3

Resolve into fraction , we have = (9x - 4x)/12, because 12 is the LCM.

= 5x/12

Third buyer bought 4/5 of the left over = 4/5 of 5x/12

= x/3 lb of potatoes.

Amount of potatoes left = 5x/12 - x/3

Resolve in to fraction again taking 12 as the LCM = ( 5x - 4x )/12

= x/12 lb of potatoes .

Therefore, the left over was 10 lb .

To determine the value of x now which correspond to the amount of potatoes sold by Farmer Bill, we shall the equate the left to x/12 = 10

we now cross multiply to get the value of x x = 120 lb.

therefore the pound of potatoes sold by farmer Bill = 120 lb.
