2 ratios equivalent to 3:12

Mathematics

Hatshy [7]2 years ago

Answer: 1 : 4 and 2 : 8

Step-by-step explanation: To find 2 different ratios that are equal to the ratio 3:12, we first rewrite the ratio 3:12 as the fraction 3/12. Notice that we can find 1 of our equal ratios by simply writing this fraction in lowest terms. if we divide both the numerator and denominator of 3/12 by their greatest common factor of 3, we get the equal ratio 1/4.

Now we can use 1/4 to find another equal ratio. If we multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/4 by 2, we get the equal ratio 2/8.

Finally, remember to write these ratios using the same form as the original problem. 1 : 4 and 2 : 8.

Lisa has $150 at most to spend on clothes. She wants to buy a pair of jeans for $58 and will spend the rest on t-shirts that cos
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

14t + 58 ≤ 150

Step-by-step explanation:

If she cannot spend more than what she has, which is 150, the inequality sign has to be "less than or equal to".  It's ok if she spends less than 150, but not ok if she spends more, because she doesn't have it to spend.

We know the cost of 1 pair of jeans is 58.  Now she wants to make up the difference by getting as many $14 shirts as possible (the number of shirts being our unknown).  

That means that the cost of the jeans PLUS the unknown number of shirts cannot exceed 150.

Therefore, the inequality is:

14t + 58 ≤ 150

A trapezoid has a base of 4.5 inches, a height of 6 inches, and an area of 21 square inches. The equation below can be used to d
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

b_2 =  -2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{1}{2}(4.5 + b_2) * 6 = 21

Required

Determine the value of T

\frac{1}{2}(4.5 + b_2) * 6 = 21

Multiply both sides by 2

2 * \frac{1}{2}(4.5 + b_2) * 6 = 21 * 2

(4.5 + b_2) * 6 = 42

Divide through by 6

4.5 + b_2 = 42/6``

4.5 + b_2 = 7

b_2 =  7 - 4.5

b_2 =  -2.5

An article in Fire Technology, 2014 (50.3) studied the effectiveness of sprinklers in fire control by the number of sprinklers t
gregori [183]

Answer:

probability that all of the sprinklers will operate correctly in a fire: 0.0282

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this question we will use Binomial  probability distribution because:

  • In the question it is given that the sprinklers activate correctly or not independently.
  • The number of outcomes are two i.e. sprinklers activate correctly or not.

A binomial distribution is a probability of a success or failures outcomes in an  repeated multiple or n times.

Number of outcomes of this distributions are two.

The formula is:

b(x; n, P) = C_{n,x}*p^{x}  * (1 - p)^{n-x}

b = binomial probability  also represented as P(X=x)

x =no of successes

P = probability of a success on a single trial

n = no of trials

C_{n,x} is calculated as:

C_{n,x} = n! / x!(n – x)!

        = 10!  / 10!(10-10)!

        = 1

According to given question:

probability of success i.e. p = 0.7 i.e. probability of a sprinkler to activate correctly.

number of trials i.e. n = 10 as number of sprinklers are 10

To find: probability that all of the sprinklers will operate correctly in a fire

X = 10 because we have to find the probability that "all" of the sprinklers will operate correctly and there are 10 sprinklers so all 10 of them

So putting these into the formula:

P(X=x) = C_{n,x}*p^{x}  * (1 - p)^{n-x}

           = C₁₀,₁₀ * 0.7¹⁰ * (1-0.7)¹⁰⁻¹⁰

           =  1 * 0.0282 * (0.3) ⁰

           = 1 * 0.0282 * 1

  P(X=x)        = 0.0282

Jessica is selling books during the summer to earn money for college. She earns a commission on each sale but has to pay for her
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Her expenses are $25 per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :Jessica earns a commission on each sale but has to pay for her own expenses.

She writes the equation of the function like this: E(x) = 7x - 25, where x is the number of doors she knocks on during the week and E(x) is her earnings for the week in dollars.

To Find: Which of the following are reasonable interpretations of the y-intercept of Jessica's function?

Solution:

E(x) = 7x - 25

x is the number of doors she knocks on during the week

E(x) is her earnings for the week in dollars.

Calculate y intercept

Substitute x = 0

y= - 25

Since E(x) is her total earning after clearing the payment of all her expenses.

So, 25 is her expenses per week.

Since we are given that she need to pay her expenses .

So, if there is no sale , still she need to pay expenses.

Thus the reasonable interpretations of the y-intercept of Jessica's function is Her expenses are $25 per week.

You are facing North. Turn 90 degrees left. Turn 180 degrees right. Turn around to reverse your direction. Turn 45 degrees left.

You are facing north. 90 degrees left is west. 180 degrees is now east. Reversing your direction is the same as 180 so your now back to facing west. Turn 45 left you’re now facing south. Reverse again and you’re facing north.
