The correct question is:

Jane buys 7/3 yards of fabric to make a cat bed. She starts the project by cutting 4 feet of fabric off the end. How many feet long is the remaining piece of fabric?

Answer:

There are 3 feet remaining.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jane cuts 4 feet from 7/3 yards, to know how many feet long yard is remaining, first we need to know how many feet make a yard, convert 7/3 yards to feet, and find the difference between the feet cut and the total feet available.

3 feet = 1 yard

x feet = 7/3 yards

3 × 7/3 = x × 1

x = 7

Therefore, 7 feet is 7/3 yards.

Now, she cuts 4 feet, do we have

(7 - 4 = 3) feet remaining.

Therefore, there are 3 feet remaining.

Answer:

16 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the ratio

How about let's make this easier.  Easier is better, right?  Let's get rid of the fraction 2/3.  We will do that by multiplying 2/3 by 3 and 1 by 3 to get the equivalent ratio of

Now we need to know how many inches there would be if the number of feet is 24:

Cross multiply to get

3x = 48 so

x = 16 in.

Which equation can be used to represent "three minus the difference of a number and one equals one-half of the difference of thr
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

3 - (n - 1) = 1/2(3n - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write three minus the difference of a number and one equals one-half of the difference of three times the same number and four as an equation.

Let the number be n.

The first part is: three minus the difference of a number and one:

3 - (n - 1)

The second part is: one-half of the difference of three times the same number and four:

1/2(3n - 4)

Now, let us equate the first and second parts:

3 - (n - 1) = 1/2(3n - 4)

PS: I really do not understand the options

The weight of a person on or above the surface of the earth varies inversely as the square of the distance the person is from th
jeyben [28]
Weight = k/(distance)². Let's find the value of k when distance = earth radius:

180 = k/(3900)² → k = 180 x 3900² → k = 2,737,800,000

If he is at 325 miles ABOVE the earth, the distance becomes: 3,900+325=4,225 miles and his weight becomes:

Weight = k/(distance)² → Weight = 2,737,800,000/(4225)² = 153.37

Weight = 153.37 lb

Assume there are 365 days in a year.
MissTica

Answer:

1) The probability that ten students in a class have different birthdays is 0.883.

2) The probability that among ten students in a class, at least two of them share a birthday is 0.002.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Assume there are 365 days in a year.

To find : 1) What is the probability that ten students in a class have different birthdays?

2) What is the probability that among ten students in a class, at least two of them share a birthday?

Solution :

\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favorable outcome}}{\text{Total number of outcome}}

Total outcome = 365

1) Probability that ten students in a class have different birthdays is

The first student can have the birthday on any of the 365 days, the second one only 364/365 and so on...

\frac{364}{365}\times \frac{363}{365} \times \frac{362}{365} \times \frac{361}{365}\times\frac{360}{365} \times \frac{359}{365} \times \frac{358}{365} \times \frac{357}{365} \times\frac{356}{365}=0.883

The probability that ten students in a class have different birthdays is 0.883.

2) The probability that among ten students in a class, at least two of them share a birthday

P(2 born on same day) = 1- P( 2 not born on same day)

\text{P(2 born on same day) }=1-[\frac{365}{365}\times \frac{364}{365}]

\text{P(2 born on same day) }=1-[\frac{364}{365}]

\text{P(2 born on same day) }=0.002

The probability that among ten students in a class, at least two of them share a birthday is 0.002.

A poster is 3 inches long. it is 4 times as wide as it is long find the perimeter and area of the poster?
iren [92.7K]
So we know that the width is 12 because 4 x 3 = 12. The formula to find the perimeter is Length + length + width + width. So you would do 3 + 3 + 12 + 12 = 30. Therefore the perimeter is 30 inches
