Shelley compared the number of oak trees to the number of maple trees as part of a study about hardwood trees in a woodlot. She

counted 9 maple trees to every 5 oak trees. Later in the year there was a bug problem, and many trees died. New trees were planted to make sure there were the same number of trees as before the bug problem. The new ratio of the number of maple trees to the number of oak trees is 3:11. After planting new trees, there were 132 oak trees. How many more maple trees were in the woodlot before the bug problem than after the bug problem?

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Initial ratio of maple trees to oak trees</u>

  • 9:5

<u>New ratio  of maple trees to oak trees</u>

  • 3:11

Number of oak trees = 132

<u>Number of maple trees</u>

  • 132*3/11 = 36

<u>Total number of trees</u>

  • 132+36 = 168

<u>Initial number of maple trees </u>

  • 168*9/14 = 108

<u>The difference in the number of maple trees:</u>

  • 108 - 36 = 72

Answer:

72 more trees before the bug problem

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio was 9:5 before the bug problem and 3:11 after.

After the bug problem there were 132 oak trees,

m : 132 = 3 : 11

Then we know

m/132 = 3/11

Multiplying both sides by 132 cancels on the left

132 × (m/132) = (3/11) × 132

m = (3/11) × 132

Then solving for m

m = 132 × (3/11)

m = 36   This gives us the number of trees after the bug problem.

This would give us 168 trees in total, 132 oak, and 36 maple.

Since there is the same number of trees as before we calculate the number of maple and oak previously.

If Shelley counted 9 maple for every 5 oak we know that 9 out of 14 trees are maple and 5 out of 14 trees are oak.

9/14 = .6428 which is the percentage of maple trees before the bug problem.

We multiply .6428 x 168 (the total number of trees) and we get 108.

if there are 108 maple trees then 168-108 = 60 oak trees.

Further proof:

9:5 or 9/5 = 1.8     108/60 = 1.8

108 maple trees and 60 oak before the bug problem.

So 108 (maple before bug problem) and 36 maple trees after:

108 - 36 = 72 more trees before the bug problem

5 Adoncia makes a scale drawing of the front of
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Since the length of the drawing is 200 ft. and equivalent to 13.33 in. with a scale of 15 ft to 1 in. and the length of the paper is 11 in., Adoncia's drawing will not fit on the sheet of paper

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The scale of the drawing is 15 ft = 1 in.

The actual dimensions of the monument;

Height = 80 ft.

Length = 200 ft.

Therefore, we have;

The required dimension of the paper height = 80/15 = 16/3 = 5.33 in.

The required dimension of the paper length = 200/15 = 40/3 = 13.33 in.

The given paper dimension by 11 in. which is of a dimension of that of a standard  letter paper size of 8.5 in. by 11 in.

Drawing length, 13.33 in. > Paper length > 11 in.

Adoncia's drawing will not fit on the sheet of paper.

kifflom [539]

Answer:

(1.35, 1.6)

Step-by-step explanation:

A screenshot of the graph is attached.

Once we graph the equations y=\log_2(3x-1) and y=\log_4(x+8), the solution to this system will be their intersection point.

Tracing the graph on the calculator, we see that the point of intersection is at about (1.35, 1.6).

For ΔABC, ∠A = 4x - 10, ∠B = 5x + 10, and ∠C = 7x + 20. If ΔABC undergoes a dilation by a scale factor of 1 3 to create ΔA'B'C'
VLD [36.1K]
We know that the angles of a triangle sum to 180°.  For ΔABC, this means we have:
(4x-10)+(5x+10)+(7x+20)=180

Combining like terms,
16x+20=180

Subtracting 20 from both sides:
16x=160

Dividing both sides by 16:
x=10
This means ∠A=4*10-10=40-10=30°; ∠B=5*10+10=50+10=60°; and ∠C=7*10+20=70+20=90.

For ΔA'B'C', we have
(2x+10)+(8x-20)+(10x-10)=180

Combining like terms, 
20x-20=180

Adding 20 to both sides:
20x=200

Dividing both sides by 20:
x=10

This gives us ∠A'=2*10+10=20+10=30°; ∠B'=8*10-20=80-20=60°; and ∠C'=10*10-10=100-10=90°.

Since the angle are all congruent, ΔABC~ΔA'B'C' by AAA.

There are 500 employees in a firm, 45% are female. a sample of 60 employees is selected randomly. the probability that the sampl
beks73 [17]

Let X be the number of female employee. Let n be the sample size, p be the probability that selected employee is female.

It is given that 45% employee are female it mean p=0.45

Sample size n=60

From given information X follows Binomial distribution with n=50 and p=0.45

For large value of n the Binomial distribution approximates to Normal distribution.

Let p be the proportion of female employee in the given sample.

Then distribution of proportion P is normal with parameters

mean =p and standard deviation = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

Here we have p=0.45

So mean = p = 0.45 and

standard deviation = \sqrt{\frac{0.45(1-0.45)}{60}}

standard deviation = 0.0642

Now probability that sample proportions of female lies between 0.40 and 0.55 is

P(0.40 < P < 0.45) = P(\frac{0.40 - 0.45}{0.0642}  < \frac{P-mean}{standard deviation}  < \frac{0.55- 0.45}{0.0642} )

= P(-0.7788 < Z < 1.5576)

= P(Z < 1.5576) - P(Z < -0.7788)

= P(Z < 1.56) - P(Z < -0.78)

= 0.9406 - 0.2177

= 0.7229

The probability that the sample proportion of females is between 0.40 and 0.55 is 0.7229
