Felipe planted some seeds for a science project. One of his plants grew 6 2/7 inches in the first week, and then it grew 5 11/14

inches during the second week. How much did the plant grow during these two weeks? The answer should be written as a proper mixed number and should be simplified, if possible.

Answer:

<em>The plant grew </em> $12\frac{1}{14}$ <em> inches</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Operations with Fractions</u>

Felipe planted seeds for a science project. One of the plants grew 6 2/7 inches in the first week and 5 11/14 inches in the second week.

We are required to find the total growth during the two weeks. We have to find the sum of:

$6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}$

Let's convert both fractions to improper form:

$6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}=6+\frac{2}{7}+5+\frac{11}{14}$

Adding the integers:

$6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}=11+\frac{2}{7}+\frac{11}{14}$

Now we find the LCM of 7 and 14 is 14, thus:

$6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}=11+\frac{4}{14}+\frac{11}{14}$

$6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}=11+\frac{15}{14}=11+\frac{14+1}{14}$

$6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}=11+1+\frac{1}{14}$

$6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}=12+\frac{1}{14}$

Rewriting as a mixed number:

The plant grew $12\frac{1}{14}$ inches

According to government data, the probability that an adult was never in a museum is 10%. In a random survey of 60 adults, wh

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

$\text{Mean}=)=6\\\\\text{Standard deviation}=2.324$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The probability that an adult was never in a museum is : p=0.10

The number of adults randomly surveyed: n = 60

In Binomial distribution , the formula to find the mean and the standard deviation is given by :-

$\text{Mean}=np\\\\\text{Standard deviation}=\sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Then , the mean and standard deviation of the number that were never in a museum will be :-

$\text{Mean}=60(0.10)=6\\\\\text{Standard deviation}=\sqrt{60(0.10)(1-0.1)}=2.3237900077\approx2.324$

You have just timed a person doing a hair cut for the first time. It took 50 minutes. What unit improvement factor learning curv

Sladkaya [172]

Answer: C. 70 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Time for the first unit = 50 minutes

Time for the second unit = 35 minutes

The unit improvement factor learning curve = (The time for the second unit) ÷ (time for the first unit) x 100.

So, The unit improvement factor learning curve = 35÷ 50 × 100 = 70 percent.

Hence, the correct option is "C. 70 percent".

6 Questions answered for 30 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer for the 1st Question,

Area of a cylinder can be calculated by,

Area of the cylindrical part = $2\pi rL$

Area of the parts that cover the open parts of cylinder = $2\pi r^2$

Therefor Total are of the cylinder = $2\pi rL+2\pi r^2$

Area of the total cylinder = $2*3.14*6.8*14.2+2*3.14*6.8^2$

= $896.784$

<u>Therefor best estimate will be D) 923 in^2</u>

Answer for the 2nd Question,

ABC is a triangle.

By Pythagorean theorem it says,

$(AC)^2+(CB)^2=(AB)^2$

The distance from A to C = 6

The distance from C to B = 5

$(AC)^2=6^2=36$

$(CB)^2=5^2=25$

$(AC)^2+(CB)^2=(AB)^2=36+25=61$

Therefor $(AB)^2=61\\(AB)=\sqrt{61}$

<u>Therefor Answer is D) Sqr 61</u>

Answer to Question 3

To find the trend you can draw an imaginary line that fits the scatter plots.(I have attached a image drawing the imaginary lines)

Then the revenue can be calculated by calculating the area covered by the imaginary line drawn or area "under" the curve.

Area of the Store 1 = $\frac{1}{2} *(110+40)*110=8250$

Area of the Store 2= $\frac{1}{2} *110*80=4400$

Therefore Revenue from Store 1 = $8250

Revenue from Store 2 = $4400

<u>Answer is A) Store 1 has more sales revenue</u>

Answer for Question 4

$\frac{5}{12}=0.4167\\\frac{5}{11}=0.4545$

You can straight away discard answer D because it is less than both 5/12 and 5/11.

Also you can discard Answer C because 25/264 is very small (less than 1/10=0.1)

$\frac{11}{23} =0.4782$ , therefor this is not in between those two numbers.

Then it has to be $\frac{115}{264} =0.4356$

<u>Answer is B)</u>

Answer for question 6

The equation of a straight line is of the form $y=mx+c$

here m is the gradient and c is the intercept.

Find the intercept(c) by finding the y value when x value is 0, here it is +1.

Gradient (m) of the graph can be found by,

$\frac{y1-y2}{x1-x2} =\frac{7-3}{3-1} =2$

Therefor the equation of the graph is,

$y=2x+1$

<u>Answer is C</u>

Answer for question 7

$\frac{7}{8} =0.875$

$\frac{6}{9} =0.67$

We can discard answer A because the value is close to 0.5

We can discard answer B because 3/17 is a very small value (0.17)

$\frac{53}{72} =0.73$ , This falls between the above 2 numbers.

<u>Therefor answer is C</u>
