So I would change the form of the two ratios. They can also be represented as fractions.

10:21 ⇒ 10/21 = 0.48

21:93 ⇒ 21/93 = 0.23

Therefore, (since 0.48 > 0.23) the ratio 10:21 is greater

Ratios are fractions. So, we can divide the top by the bottom to get a decimal form and compare.

10:21 = $\frac{10}{21}$ ≈ 0.47
21:93 = $\frac{21}{93}$ ≈ 0.22

0.47 is bigger than 0.22.

So, 10:21 is bigger than 21:93.

A study of the amount of time it takes a mechanic to rebuild the transmission for a 1992 Chevrolet Cavalier shows that the mean

Nana76 [90]

Answer: 0.0026

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mean : $\mu=8.4\text{ hours}$

Standard Deviation : $\sigma = 1.8\text{ hours}$

Sample size : $n=40$

Formula to calculate z-score :-

$z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

For X=7.6 hours.

$z=\dfrac{7.6-8.4}{\dfrac{1.8}{\sqrt{40}}}=-2.81091347571\approx-2.8$

$P(X$

Hence, the probability that their mean rebuild time is less than 7.6 hours = 0.0026

A children's pony ride at a zoo has ponies attached to a carousel pole in the center of a circle that the ponies walk around as

stepladder [879]

We simply need to solve for the circumference of the imaginary circle.

Given:
Diameter = 25 feet.

Circumference = 2 * radius * π OR Circumference = diameter * π

C = 25feet * 3.14
C = 78.50 feet

The pony will walk 78.50 feet to complete one trip around the circle.

Compare 5.7145... And the square root of 29

svlad2 [7]

To get the square root of 29, we can simply use a calculator.

So the square root of 29 using the calculator is:

sqrt (29) = 5.3852

So we can say that 5.7145 is greater than the square root of 29.

The difference is 5.7145 – 5.3852 = 0.3293
