Answer:

B) 19.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that average consumption of electricity by the family is 900 kWh per month. Since, there are 12 months in a year, and we have the average consumption of electricity per month, the total consumption for the year would be:

Total electricity consumed in a year = 900 x 12 = 10800 kWh

Next it is stated that during the summer, the same family uses 2 window-unit air conditioners and each of them uses 350 kWh of electricity per month. So, the total electricity used by both units per month would be:

Electricity used by 2 air conditioners in 1 month = 2 x 350 = 750 kWh

Since, the family uses these air conditioners for 3 month, the total consumption for 3 months would be:

Total electricity consumption for 3 months of 2 air conditioners = 3 x 750 = 2250 kWh.

We have to find what percentage of total annual electricity is used to run the 2 air conditioners for three months of summer. So, we have to find 2250 is what percent of 10800. This can be done as:

\text{Percentage}=\frac{\text{Value of interest}}{\text{Total Value}} \times 100\%\\\\  =\frac{2250}{10800} \times 100\%\\\\ =19.4\%

This means, 2 air conditioners consume 19.4% of the annual electricity.

Answer:

19.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Electricity consumption for two air conditioners during summer is 2×350=700 kWh

Consumption of electricity by air conditioners during summer which takes 3 months will be 3*700=2100 kWh

Annual electrical consumption is 900*12=10800 kWh

Percentage of electricity consumed on air conditioners to total annual consumption will be

(2100/10800)×100=19.444444444444444444%

Rounded off, this is 19.4%

When a number is decreased by 8.5%, the result is 33. What is the original number to the nearest tenth?
Reil [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original number be x

(100-8.5)% of x = 33

91.5% of x = 33

\frac{91.5}{100}x=33\\\\x=33*\frac{100}{91.5}\\\\x=36.07

x= 36.1

Tags are placed to the left leg and right leg of a bear in a forest. Let A1 be the event that the left leg tag is lost and the e
Komok [63]

Answer:

0.75 = 75% probability that exactly one tag is lost, given that at least one tag is lost

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent events:

If two events, A and B, are independent, then:

P(A \cap B) = P(A)*P(B)

Conditional probability:

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: At least one tag is lost

Event B: Exactly one tag is lost.

Each tag has a 40% = 0.4 probability of being lost.

Probability of at least one tag is lost:

Either no tags are lost, or at least one is. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 1. Then

p + P(A) = 1

p is the probability none are lost. Each one has a 60% = 0.6 probability of not being lost, and they are independent. So

p = 0.6*0.6 = 0.36

Then

P(A) = 1 - p = 1 - 0.36 = 0.64

Intersection:

The intersection between at least one lost(A) and exactly one lost(B) is exactly one lost.

Then

Probability at least one lost:

First lost(0.4 probability) and second not lost(0.6 probability)

Or

First not lost(0.6 probability) and second lost(0.4 probability)

So

P(A \cap B) = 0.4*0.6 + 0.6*0.4 = 0.48

Find the probability that exactly one tag is lost, given that at least one tag is lost (write it up to second decimal place).

P(B|A) = \frac{0.48}{0.64} = 0.75

0.75 = 75% probability that exactly one tag is lost, given that at least one tag is lost

The length of the bar for a high jump competition must always be 4.75 m. Express this measurement in millimeters. Explain your t
Elena-2011 [213]

4,750 mm

Equation with an exponent 4.75 x 10^{3} = 4,750

First, it's important to know that there are 1,000 millimeters in 1 meter. Second, it's important to know that 10^{3} is the same as 1,000. In order to find out how many millimeters are in 4.75 meters, one must multiply 4.75 by 1,000.

<h3>Further Explanation</h3>

Meters

A meter is a unit of metric measurement. Track and Field events use the metric system because it is a universal unit of measurement. Inches and feet are not units used all over the world. The Olympic Games use the metric system so this is the system that is universally adopted throughout the world for many sporting events, including track and field. Sports that are more commonly attributed to the USA and not an Olympic event often uses the US system. An example is football. The field is measured in yards instead of meters.

Millimeters

The prefix milli- means 1,000. Often it is used to denote a thousandth unit of measurement in the metric system. This is a useful item to know because it can be applied to many different math terms such as millimeters or milliliters.

Exponents

An exponent is the amount of times a number is multiplied to itself. For example 4^{2} is the same as 4 x 4 = 16. This is a faster way to write repeated multiplication.

Remember multiplication is a faster way to write repeated addition! Exponents are a faster way to write repeated multiplication.

The value of the expression will be 9.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Given expression is : \frac{3.6(5*4)}{3+5.0}

First we will simplify both numerator and denominator separately using <u>order of operations</u>. So....

3.6(5*4)=3.6(20)=72\\\\ and\\\\ 3+5.0=8

Thus the expression....

\frac{3.6(5*4)}{3+5.0}=\frac{72}{8}=9
