Answer:

$36\ tigers$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of lions

y ----> the number f tigers

z ----> the number of zebras

we know that

$x+y+z=120$ ----> equation A

Remember that

$20\%=20/100=0.20$

$50\%=50/100=0.50$

To find out the number of lions, multiply the total animals by the percentage of lions

$x=0.20(120)=24\ lions$

To find out the number of zebras, multiply the total animals by the percentage of zebras

$z=0.50(120)=60\ zebras$

Substitute the value of x and the value of z in equation A and solve for y

$24+y+60=120$

$y+84=120$

$y=36\ tigers$

Chester, the dog, loves to eat treats. He has eaten twice as many today as yesterday. He has eaten a total of 15 dog treats in b

stich3 [128]

Answer:

The equations are:

$T = 2Y$ and $T + 2Y = 15$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent bones eaten Today with T and yesterday with Y

Required

Write the equation

In the first statement, we have that:

$T = 2Y$

Reading further; In the second statement

$T + 2Y = 15$

Hence, the equations are:

$T = 2Y$ and $T + 2Y = 15$

Solving further:

Substitute 2Y for T in the second equation

$2Y + 2Y = 15$

$4Y = 15$

Divide both sides by 4

$Y = \frac{15}{4}$

$Y = 3.75$

Recall that

$T = 2Y$

$T= 2 * 3.75$

$T= 7.5$

A new technology for the production of integrated circuits is being mastered. The technology will be rejected if the percentage

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

5901

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of error is the critical value times the standard error.

ME = CV × SE

For α = 0.05, the critical value is z = 1.96.

The standard error of a proportion is √(pq/n). Given p = 0.04, then q = 1−p = 0.96.

The margin of error is 0.5% or 0.005.

Plugging in:

0.005 = 1.96 √(0.04 × 0.96 / n)

n ≈ 5901

If LO = 15x+19 and QN = 10x+2 find PN

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

$PN=64\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

Given the quadrilateral is a rectangle, if LO = 15x+19 and QN = 10x+2 find PN

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The diagonals of a rectangle are congruent and bisect each other

so

$QN=\frac{1}{2}LO$

substitute the given values

$10x+2=\frac{1}{2}(15x+19)$

solve for x

$20x+4=15x+19\\20x-15x=19-4\\5x=15\\x=3$

Find the length of PN

Remember that

$PN=LO$ ----> diagonals of rectangle are congruent

$LO=15x+19$

substitute the value of x

$LO=15(3)+19=64\ units$

therefore

$PN=64\ units$

What is the volume of a cylinder with base radius 222 and height 666? either enter an exact answer in terms of \piπpi or use 3.1

Leno4ka [110]

In this question, it is given that the base radius is 2 , height is 6 and the value of pi is 3.14 .

And we have to find the volume of the cylinder, and for that, we have to use the following formula

$V = \pi r^2 h$

Substituting the values of pi,r and h, we will get

$V = 3.14(2)^2 * 6 = 75.36 \ cubic \ units$
