Kitty [74]

Answer:

the probability that randomly selected applicants over 10 years of experience is 0.6791

Step-by-step explanation:

Total would be

= 187 have 10 + years experience

Tatami mats are used as a floor covering in Japan. one possible layout uses four identical rectangular mats and one square mat.
Basile [38]
So by definition, area is equal to the length (x) times the width (y). The area of the square mat is = x × y, or xy
If the area of<span> the rectangular mat is twice that of the square mat, the area of the rectangular mat would have to be = 2 </span>× x × y<span>
This can be written as 2x </span>× y, making the length of the rectangular mat twice that of the square mat's length, and the width the same as the square mat's width.<span>

Sue wants to paint the longest wall in her bedroom pink. she measured the wall and found that it is 10 feet long and 8 feet tall
jekas [21]

Answer:

Sue should buy 1.6 quart of paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find out the area of longest wall

Area =length × breadth

Area= 10 × 8 = 80 square feet

To cover 50 square feet we have required 1 quart of paint

So for covering 1 square feet we have required 1/50 quart of paint

So for covering 80 square feet we have required  ( 1×80 ) / 50 quart

= 1.6 quart of paint
