Answer:

$7/24$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the shaded area

we know that

$x+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{8}=1$

Because the complete circle represent the $100\%$

and

$100\%=100/100=1$

solve for x

Multiply by $24$ both sides

$24x+8+9=24$

$24x=24-17$

$24x=7$

Divide by $24$ both sides

$x=7/24$ ----> fraction irreducible

What I would do is find the common denominator for both fractions. The common denominator in this case would be 24 seeing as both 3 and 8 go into 24 evenly. 1/3 would equal to 8/24 by multiplying both 1 and 3 by 8 and 3/8 would equal to 9/24 by multiplying both 3 and 8 by 3. Add 8 and 9 from the fractions 8/24 and 9/24 which would give you 17/24. To find the remaining section of the circle, subtract 17 from 24 which would give you 7/24. 7/24 doesn't reduce any further so your answer would be 7/24 of the circle is shaded.

Emiyo has used 2 1/4 gallons of paint.This is 2/3 of the total amount of paint.How much ,p, did Emiyo have to start?

Leni [432]

Answer:

3 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

y×(2/3)=2.25 (the same as 2 1/4)

÷2/3. ÷2/3

y=3.375

3 3=8 gallons

more of break down:

y×2/3=9/4

÷2/3 or ×3/2

y= 9. 3. 27

--- × ---- = ----- = 3 3/8

If we were to make a poset of the form (A, |), where is the symbol for divisibility, which of the following sets A would yield a

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

IV. A+{1, 2, 3, 6, 12}

Step-by-step explanation:

The set of natural numbers form a poset number under relation of > or =. The discrete variables are used to form a poset. The symbols for divisibility in poset form are when an integer is divided by the variable without integer. The correct answer is therefore 4th option.

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

a. The average number of hashtags used in a social media post from a marketing agency is different than 7 hashtags.

Step-by-step explanation:

A social media platform states that a social media post from a marketing agency has 7 hashtags, on average.

This means that at the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is 7, that is:

$H_0: \mu = 7$

A digital marketing specialist studying social media advertising believes the average number of hashtags used in a post from a marketing agency is different than the number stated by the social media platform.

Keyword is different, so at the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is different of 7, that is:

$H_1: \mu \neq 7$

Thus, the correct answer is given by option a.

A conical pile of road salt has a diameter of 112 feet and a slant height of 65 feet. After a storm, the linear dimensions of th

QveST [7]

we know that

the volume of a cone is equal to

$V= \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h$

in this problem

the radius is equal to

$r= \frac{112}{2}= 56ft$

1) Find the height of the cone before the storm

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem find the height

$h^{2} = l^{2}-r^{2}$

$l=65 ft$

$h^{2} = 65^{2}-56^{2}$

$h^{2} = 1,089$

$h=33 ft$

2) Find the volume before the storm

$V= \frac{1}{3}*\pi* 56^{2}*33$

$V=34,496\pi\ ft^{3}$

3) Find the volume after the storm

After a storm, the linear dimensions of the pile are 1/3 of the original dimensions

r=(56/3) ft

h=(33/3)=11 ft

$V= \frac{1}{3}*\pi* (56/3)^{2}*11$

$V= 1,277.63\pi\ ft^{3}$

4) Find how this change affect the volume of the pile

Divide the volume after the storm by the volume before the storm

$\frac{1,277.63 \pi }{34,496 \pi } = \frac{1}{27}$

therefore

the answer part a) is

The volume of the pile after the storm is $\frac{1}{27}$ times the original volume

Part b) Estimate the number of lane miles that were covered with salt

5) Find the amount of salt that was used during the storm

$=34,496 \pi - 1,277.63 \pi \\= 33.218.37 \pi \\= 104,358.59\ ft^{3}$

6) Find the pounds of road salt used

$104,358.59*80=8,348,687.2\ pounds$

7) Find the number of lane miles that were covered with salt

$8,348,687.2/350=23,853.39 \ lane\ miles$

therefore

the answer part b) is

the number of lane miles that were covered with salt is $23,853.39 \ lane\ miles$

Part c) How many lane miles can be covered with the remaining salt? Round your answer to the nearest lane mile

the remaining salt is equal to $1,277.63\pi\ ft^{3}$

$1,277.63\pi\ ft^{3}=4,013.79\ ft^{3}$

8) Find the pounds of road salt

$4,013.79*80=321,103.20\ pounds$

9) Find the number of lane miles

$321,103.20/350=917.44 \ lane\ miles$

therefore

the answer part c) is

the number of lane miles is $917 \ lane\ miles$

PQ=2x+1 and QR=5x-44; Find PR

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 1 from both sides so you are left with 2x=5x-45

then subtract 5x from both sides and you have -3x=-45

then finally divide -3 from -45 to get x=15
