Answer:

1 2/9 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

55 mph

55 / 60 = 11/12

11/12 of a mile = 1 minute

45 mph

45 / 60 = 3/4

3/4 of a mile = 1 minute

11/12 divided by 3/4

11/12 * 4/3

We can cross-cancel

11/3 * 1/3 = 11/9 = 1 2/9

It takes 1 2/9 minutes for the hummingbird to cross the lake

Hope this helps!

Mr. Snow bought 90 grams of Christmas candy for each of his 14 grandchildren. How many total kilograms of candy did he buy?

nignag [31]

Answer:

1.26 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Mr. Snow bought 90 grams of Christmas candy for each of his 14 grandchildren. We are asked to find the amount of candy bought by Mr. Snow in kilograms.

First of all, we will find the amount of candy in grams by multiplying 90 grams by 14 as:

$\text{Amount of candy bought in grams}=14\times 90$

$\text{Amount of candy bought in grams}=1260$

We know that 1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams. To convert 1260 grams into kg, we will divide 1260 by 1000 as:

$\text{Amount of candy bought in kilograms}=\frac{1260}{1000}$

$\text{Amount of candy bought in kilograms}=1.26$

Therefore, Mr. Snow bought 1.26 kilograms of candy.

A product is composed of four parts. In order for the product to function properly in a given situation, each of the parts must

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

P(working product) = .99*.99*.96*.96 = .0.903

Step-by-step explanation:

For the product to work, all four probabilities must come to pass, so that

P(Part-1)*P(Part-2)*P(Part-3)*P(Part-4)

where

P(Part-1) = 0.96

P(Part-2) = 0.96

P(Part-3) = 0.99

P(Part-4) = 0.99

As all parts are independent, so the formula is P(A∩B) = P(A)*P(B)

P (Working Product) = P(Part-1)*P(Part-2)*P(Part-3)*P(Part-4)

P (Working Product) = 0.96*0.96*0.96*0.99*0.99

P(Working Product) = 0.903

jekas [21]

We have been given that a company makes wax candles in the shape of a solid sphere. Each candle has a diameter of 15 cm. We are asked to find the number of candles that company can make from 70,650 cubic cm of wax.

To solve our given problem, we will divide total volume of wax by volume of one candle.

Volume of each candle will be equal to volume of sphere.

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$ , where r represents radius of sphere.
