Lets find all the numbers..

x (1st number)
x + 2 ( 2nd number)
x + 4 (3rd number)
x + 6 (4th number)
x + 8 (5th number)
x + 10 (6th number)

Now add all those expressions and set them equal to 270 because that is the total.

x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 + x + 10 = 270
6x + 30 = 270
6x = 240
x = 40

Now we will substitute 40 for x in the expression of the second number.

x + 2
40 + 2
42

So the second number is 42

Hope this helps :)

Shania is making a scale diagram of the badminton court at the community center. She uses a scale of 1 centimeter to 0.5 meter t
docker41 [41]

1m = 100cm

1cm → 0.5m

1cm → 0.5 · 100cm = 50cm

The scale: \dfrac{50}{1}=50

length = 26.8cm · 50 = 1,340cm = 13.40m

width = 12.2cm · 50 = 610cm = 6.10m

The area of the court:

A = 13.40 · 6.10 = 81.74 m²

Using the technique in the model above, find the missing segments in this 30°-60°-90° right triangle. AB = 8 BC = 4 CD =
zimovet [89]
For a 30-60-90 triangle the sides always have the same relationship
Short leg = a
Long leg = a√3
Hypotenuse = 2a

BC is the short leg of ∆ABC

Given BC = 2
BC = a
Therefor
a = 2
AB = 2a = 4
AC = a√3 = 2√3

For ∆ACD
As above AC = 2√3
Since AC is the hypotenuse of ∆ACD
2a = 2√3
a = √3

CD = a = √3
AD = a√3 = 3

For ∆BCD
As above
BC = 2
CD = √3
Since BC is the hypotenuse of ∆BCD
2a = 2
a = 1

DB = a = 1

Which of the following is a correct way to measure productivity? a. Divide the number of hours worked by the quantity of output.
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

b. Divide the quantity of output by the number of hours worked.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Since the ratio of the number of output to the number of hours worked shows the productivity. </em>

Thus, option (b) is correct.

Productivity is used to converting inputs into useful output. It measures the efficiency of a person, system, machine, factory, etc.

For Example: The employee who works less hours and assembled more radios has more productivity, that employee knows how to utilize time.

1. In a batch of 10 items, we wish to extract a sample of 3 without replacement. How many
svetlana [45]

Answer:

1) 120

2) E (Z) = 12 and Variance of Z = 90

a) 5 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We can find this by suing combinations.

Here n= 10 and r= 3 so n C r

= 10 C 3= 120

2. E(X) = 8 and E(Y) = 3

Z = 2X - 3Y +5

E(Z ) = 2 E (X) - 3(E)(Y) +5   ( applying property for mean)

       = 2(8) - 3(3)+ 5 = 16+5-9= 21-9= 12

V(X) = 9 and V(Y) = 6.

V(Z) = E(Z )²-  V(X) *V(Y)   (applying property for Variance for two variables )

        = 144- 54= 90

3. 55 liters contain adulterated milk in 7: 4.

So it contains 4/ 11*55= 20 liters of water

But we want to make it a ratio of 7:6

the water will be 6/13 *55= 25.38 when rounded gives 25 liters of water

So 25- 20 = 5 liters must be added to make it a ratio of 7:6

Set up equaivalent ratioo. It started out 2 duck to every 3 geese, continue the pattern and see for a change

ducks   2    4   6
geese   3   6   9

but now its 5 ; 9 instead of 6 to 9, therefore the number of ducks decreased
