Missing portion in question:

Tax rate for Social Security and Medicare for the company The Open-Pit Furnace Co. is not given in the question. Usually these taxes apply on following rate:

Social Security Tax Rate = 6.2%

Medicare Tax Rate = 1.45%

Answer:

$6,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Total deducted amount from her salary was $497.25 i.e. some of the taxes for social security and medicare. If these taxes are on the rate mentioned above, total salary can be calculated.

Total deduction = (6.2%+1.45%) of the salary

497.25=7.65% of the salary

Let the total salary = $x

497.25=\frac{7.65}{100}*x\\=\frac{497.25*100}{7.65} \\=\frac{49725}{7.65} \\=6500

So, her monthly salary is $6500

A Shampoo Problem: A bottle contains 25.4 fluid ounces of shampoo. Katie uses 0.25 of the bottle. How much shampoo is left? a. I
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

a) There is no a word problem for both expressions (m = 0.25\cdot 25.4 and m = 25.4-0.25), b) A bottle contains 25.4 fluid ounces of shampoo. Katie uses 0.75 of the bottle. How much shampoo is left? A bottle contains 25.4 fluid ounces of shampoo. Katie uses 0.25 fluid ounces of the bottle. How much shampoo is left?

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The shampoo problem is a word problem for:

(Final content) = (Initial content) - (Used content)

Then,

m = 25.4 - 0.25\cdot 25.4

Or:

m = 0.75\cdot 25.4

Hence, there is no a word problem for both expressions (m = 0.25\cdot 25.4 and m = 25.4-0.25).

b) The word problem for m = 0.25\cdot 25.4 is:

A bottle contains 25.4 fluid ounces of shampoo. Katie uses 0.75 of the bottle. How much shampoo is left?

The word problem for m = 25.4-0.25 is:

A bottle contains 25.4 fluid ounces of shampoo. Katie uses 0.25 fluid ounces of the bottle. How much shampoo is left?

Which of the following could be the ratio of the length of the longer leg of a 30-60-90 triangle to the length of its hypotenuse
Aliun [14]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Ratio of longer leg to hypotenuse is;  \sqrt{3} : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the special right angle triangle 30°-60°-90°  as shown below in the figure.

  • The side opposite the 30° angle is always the shortest because 30 degrees is the smallest angle.
  • The side opposite the 60° angle will be the longer leg, because 60 degrees is the mid-sized degree angle in this triangle.
  • Finally , the side opposite the 90° angle will always be the largest side(Hypotenuse) because 90 degrees is the largest angle.

In 30°−60°−90° right triangle,

  • the length of the hypotenuse is twice the length of the shorter leg,also
  • the length of the longer leg is \sqrt{3} times the length of the shorter leg.

Then:

the sides are in proportion i.e,  1:\sqrt{3} :2

Therefore, the ratio of the length of the longer leg to the length of its hypotenuse is:  \sqrt{3} : 2

You roll a colored cube with one white side, two red sides, and three blue sides. What is the expected number of red sides you w
miskamm [114]

Hello!

This is an example of theoretical probability. If you rolled the die 1,000 times, you would probably roll red about 333 times. On average, this is 1/3, and with a die it is 2/6. As you can see, it will be rolled 2/6 of the time on average, so our answer is A) 2.

I hope this helps!

rjkz [21]
<span>An oblong box has a volume equal to lwh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height. If the volume is 24 cubic feet, solve for the height in terms of the other sides.

Given:
volume of 24 cubic feet

Required:
height

Solution:
V = 24 cubic feet
assume that the length, weight and height of the box are all equal
so l = w = h

24 = l^3
l = 2.88 feet</span>
