What's 5/6 as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth

Suppose that a person with a push mower can mow a large lawn in 5 hours, whereas the lawn can be mowed with a riding lawn mower

Reil [10]

------------------------------------------------------------------
Push Mower
------------------------------------------------------------------
It takes 5 hours to complete the job
1 hour = 1/5 of the job

------------------------------------------------------------------
Riding Lawn Mower
------------------------------------------------------------------
It takes 3 hours to complete the job
1 hour = 1/3 of the job

------------------------------------------------------------------
Push Mower + Riding Lawn Mower
------------------------------------------------------------------
1 hour = 1/5 + 1/3
1 hour = 3/15 + 5/15
1 hour = 8/15 of the job.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Calculate time needed to complete
------------------------------------------------------------------
8/15 of the job takes 1 hour
8/15 of the job = 1 hour

------------------------------------------------------------------
Divide by 8/15 on both side
------------------------------------------------------------------
8/15 ÷ 8/15 of the job = 1 ÷ 8/15 hour
Whole of the job = 1 x 15/8 hours
Whole of the job = 15/8 hours
Whole of the job = 1 7/8 hours

------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: 1 7/8 hours
------------------------------------------------------------------

A rectangle that has an area of 357 square inches is 17 inches wide. Using the formula for area (4072-01-01-03-00_files/i0260000

Masja [62]

A = L * W
A = 357
W = 17

357 = 17L
357 / 17 = L
21 = L <== length is 21 inches

For a specific location in a particularly rainy city, the time a new thunderstorm begins to produce rain (first drop time) is un

ikadub [295]

Answer:

b) 0.0608

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is mentioned that the next two days i.e 24 hours, the probability of the rain is uniformly distributed

Therefore the rain probability is

$= \frac{T}{24}$

where,

T = Length of the time interval

Plus, as we know that rain is independent

So let us assume the rain between the 8: 40 AM and 2: 35 PM on single day is P1 and the time interval is 5 hours 55 minutes

i.e

= 5.91666 hours long.

So, P1 should be

$= \frac{5.91666}{24}$

= 0.2465

Now we assume the probability of rain on day 2 is P2

So it would be same i.e 0.2465

Since these events are independent

So, the total probability is

$= 0.2465 \times 0.2465$

= 0.0608

Hence, the b option is correct

You sell sporting goods. Your wages depend on the value of your sales. One week you sold $3,500 in sporting goods, earning $950.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

y = 0.2x + 250

Step-by-step explanation:

let the sales be x and y be earnings

thus,

given

x₁ = $3,500 ; y₁ = $950

and,

x₂ = $2,800 ; y₂ = $810

Now,

the standard line equation is given as:

y = mx + c

here,

m is the slope

c is the constant

also,

m = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

or

m = $\frac{810-950}{\textup{2,800-3,500}}$

or

m = 0.2

substituting the value of 'm' in the equation, we get

y = 0.2x + c

now,

substituting the x₁ = $3,500 and y₁ = $950 in the above equation, we get

$950 = 0.2 × $3,500 + c

or

$950 = $700 + c

or

c = $250

hence,

The equation comes out as:

y = 0.2x + 250

a recipe uses 1 1/4 cups of milk to make 10 servings. if the same amount of milk is used for each serving, how many servings can

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

128 servings can be made using 1 gallon of milk.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

$1\frac{1}{4}$ cups of milk make 10 servings

$1\frac{1}{4}$ can also be written as 1.25

Ratio of cups of milk to servings = 1.25 : 10

1 gallon = 16 cups

Let,

x be the number of servings made from 1 gallon

Ratio of cups of milk to servings = 16 : x

This is a direct proportion

1.25 : 10 :: 16 : x

Product of mean = Product of extreme

10*16 = 1.25x

160 = 1.25x

1.25x=160

Dividing both sides by 1.25

$\frac{1.25x}{1.25}=\frac{160}{1.25}\\x=128$

Hence,

128 servings can be made using 1 gallon of milk.
