Melissa is planning a rectangular vegetable garden with a square patch for tomatoes. She wants the length of the garden to excee

d three times the length of the tomato patch by 2 feet. She also wants the garden’s width to exceed the width of the tomato patch by 5 feet. Let x represent the length, in feet, of the square tomato patch. Write an expression to represent the perimeter of Melissa’s garden in terms of x. Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words.

Six pipes are laid end to form a row.each pipe is 9 1/3 inches long.how long is the row of pipes in feet?

laiz [17]

six pipes are laid end to end to form a row. Each pipe is 9 1/3 inches long. how long is the row of pipes, in feet?

Answer:

4.67 feet or 4 feet 8 inches or $4\frac{2}{3}$ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length of the row pipes.

Given:

Number of pipes = 6

Each pipe has length $9\frac{1}{3}$ inches. and six pipes are laid end to end to form a row.

The total length of the row is equal to length of the 6 pipes.

So, total length of row = Number of pipes $\times$ Length of the pipe

$x=\frac{28}{3}\times 6$

$x=28\times 2$

$x=56$ inches

convert inch into feet.

$x=\frac{56}{12}$

$x=4.67 feet$

Therefore, The length of the row is 4.67 feet or 4 feet 8 inches or $4\frac{2}{3}$ feet .

Paul [167]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the mean incubation time for a type of fertilized egg kept at a certain temperature is 25 days.

Let X be the incubation time for a type of fertilized egg kept at a certain temperature is 25 days.

X is N(25, 1)

a) Normal curve is in the attached file

b) the probability that a randomly selected fertilized egg hatches in less than 23 days

= $P(X$

we convert x into Z score and use std normal distn table to find probability

$P(X$

i.e. we can say only 2.5% proportion will hatch in less than 23 days.

The number of airline passengers in 1990 was 466 million. The number of passengers traveling by airplane each year has increased

taurus [48]

Answer:

2010.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an exponential growth formula $P(t)=466\cdot 1.035^t$ , which represents number of passengers traveling by airplane since 1990.

To find the year in which 900 million passengers will travel by airline, we will equate the given formula by 900 and solve for t as:

$900=466\cdot 1.035^t$

$\frac{900}{466}=\frac{466\cdot 1.035^t}{466}$ $1.9313304721030043=1.035^t$

Take natural log of both sides:

$\text{ln}(1.9313304721030043)=\text{ln}(1.035^t)$

Using property $\text{ln}(a^b)=b\cdot \text{ln}(a)$ , we will get:

$\text{ln}(1.9313304721030043)=t\cdot \text{ln}(1.035)$

$0.658209129198=t\cdot 0.034401426717$

$\frac{0.658209129198}{0.034401426717}=\frac{t\cdot 0.034401426717}{0.034401426717}$

$19.1331927775=t\\\\t=19.1331927775$

This means that in the 20th year since 1990, 900 million passengers would travel by airline.

$1990+20=2010$

Therefore, 900 million passengers would travel by airline in 2010.
