Answer:

1 and 3/8 of pizza

Step-by-step explanation:

5/8 + 3/4

3/4 x 2 to get the same denominator as 5/8

5/8 + 6/8 = 11/8

11/8 = 1 3/8

On a december day, the probability of snow is .30. the probability of a "cold" day is .50. the probability of snow and "cold" we

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Events A and B are independent if the following holds true:

P(A ∩ B) = P(A) * P(B)

where P(A ∩ B) is the probability of A and B, P(A) is the probability of A, and P(B) is the probability of B.

Setting A = "snow" and B = "cold weather", and plugging in the above numbers will give you the answer.

A supervisor finds the mean number of miles that the employees in a department live from work. Which mileage is within a z-score

Vikentia [17]

The z-score tells you how many standard deviations from the mean.

1.5 * 3.6 = 5.4 miles 

So anything within 5.4 miles of the average (29). 

The range would be: 
29 - 5.4 = 23.6 
to: 
29 + 5.4 = 34.4 

23.6 ≤ x ≤ 34.4 

Answer: 
B) 24 miles

A boat tour guide expects his tour to travel at a rate of x mph on the first leg of the trip. On the return route, the boat trav

Georgia [21]

The intervals included in solution are:

$\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x}-10\ge \frac{2}{24}\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:0$

Solution:

Given that,

A boat tour guide expects his tour to travel at a rate of x mph on the first leg of the trip

On the return route, the boat travels against the current, decreasing the boat's rate by 10 mph

The group needs to travel an average of at least 24 mph

Given inequality is:

$\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x} - 10\geq \frac{2}{24}$

We have to solve the inequality

$\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x} - 10\geq \frac{2}{24}\\\\\frac{2}{x} - 10\geq \frac{2}{24}$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}\frac{2}{24}\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\\frac{2}{x}-10-\frac{2}{24}\ge \frac{2}{24}-\frac{2}{24}\\\\Simplify\\\\\frac{2}{x}-10-\frac{2}{24}\ge \:0$

$\frac{2}{x}-\frac{10}{1}-\frac{2}{24} \geq 0\\\\\frac{ 2 \times 24}{x \times 24} -\frac{10 \times 24}{1 \times 24} - \frac{2 \times x }{24 \times x}\geq 0\\\\\frac{48}{24x}-\frac{240x}{24x}-\frac{2x}{24x}\geq 0\\\\Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions\\\\\frac{48-240x-2x}{24x}\geq 0\\\\Add\:similar\:elements\\\\\frac{48-242x}{24x}\ge \:0$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}24\\\\\frac{24\left(48-242x\right)}{24x}\ge \:0\cdot \:24\\\\Simplify\\\\\frac{48-242x}{x}\ge \:0\\\\Factor\ common\ terms\\\\\frac{-2\left(121x-24\right)}{x}\ge \:0\\\\\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}-1\mathrm{\:\left(reverse\:the\:inequality\right)}$

When we multiply or divide both sides by negative number, then we must flip the inequality sign

$\frac{\left(-2\left(121x-24\right)\right)\left(-1\right)}{x}\le \:0\cdot \left(-1\right)\\\\\frac{2\left(121x-24\right)}{x}\le \:0\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}2\\\\\frac{\frac{2\left(121x-24\right)}{x}}{2}\le \frac{0}{2}\\\\Simplify\\\\\frac{121x-24}{x}\le \:0$

$\mathrm{Find\:the\:signs\:of\:the\:factors\:of\:}\frac{121x-24}{x}\\$

This is attached as figure below

From the attached table,

$\mathrm{Identify\:the\:intervals\:that\:satisfy\:the\:required\:condition:}\:\le \:\:0\\\\0$

Therefore, solution set is given as:

$\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x}-10\ge \frac{2}{24}\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:0$

A bee flies at 9 feet per second directly to a flowerbed from its hive. The bee stays at the flowerbed for 13 minutes, and then

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer: 576 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to do a little subtracting and a little interpreting to get the answer. First you must assume that the bee travels in a straight line. This is math so we can assume this is true, although thousands would disagree.

Second you must assume that because it is loaded with nectar that it travels at a slower rate (not an unreasonable assumption).

Third you have to assume that the distance there is the same distance as coming back. Again this is math. We can make this assumption.

Find the travelling time.

The bee spends 12 minutes hunting down the nectar in the flowerbed. Since it was away from the hive for a total of 16 minutes, the travelling time is

16min - 12min = 4 min

Convert the Minutes to seconds.

1 minute = 60 seconds

4 minutes = 4*60 = 240 seconds.

Find the time each way.

The total time is 240 seconds, but it is not divided evenly.

Let the time there = t

Let the time back = 240 - t

The distances are the same.

r = 6 m/s

r1 = 4 m/s

t1 = t

t2 = 240 - t

dthere = dback

d = rate * time

6 m/s *t = 4 m/s (240 - t) Remove the brackets on the right.

6 * t = 4*240 - 4t Combine the like terms on the right.

6t = 960 - 4t Add 4t to both sides

6t + 4t = 960 - 4t + 4t Combine

10t = 960 Divide both sides by 10

10t/10 = 960/10 Do the division

t = 96 Time going to the flower bed

Find the distance

d = ?

r = 6 m/s

t = 96 second

d = r*t

d = 6 * 96 = 576 feet Answer
