On Saturday, Craig rode his bike 5/8 of a mile. On Saturday, he rode his bike 1/2 of a mile. Craig added 5/8+1/2=6/10and plotted
6/10 on his number line.
1 answer:
* Craig's answer is not reasonable because to add fractions the denominators must be the same.
** Total distance = 5/8 + 1/2 = 5/8 + 4/8 = 9/8 miles
*** Using the line number to prove the answer:
The line number that represents the problem is in the attached figure.
while the distance between 0 and 1 divided to 8 sections
to represent (5/8) count 5 sections from zero ⇒⇒⇒ point (a)
and to represent (1/2) it is the midpoint between 0 and 1 which mean it is 4 sections but it will be counted from point (a) so, adding 4 sections to point (a) the result will be the point (b)
So, counting from 0 to point (b) will give us 9 sections
and while one section represents (1/8)
So the total distance will be 9 * (1/8) = 9/8 which is agree with the result obtained before
** Total distance = 5/8 + 1/2 = 5/8 + 4/8 = 9/8 miles

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
If there is a direct relation between two variables x and y then it can be represented as
y = kx ,
where y is dependent variable
x is independent variable
k is constant of variation
_____________________________
First condition
y = 400
x = r
using y = kx then relationship will be
400 = kr
finding k here
k = 400/r
Second condition
y = r
x = 4
using y = kx then relationship will be
r = 4k
finding k
k = r/4
since in both condition equation is same
thus, value of k will also be same
thus,
400/r = r/4
=> 400*4 = r*r
=> 1600 = r^2
Thus, 40 is the value of r
k = r/4 = 40/4 = 10
Thus, constant of variation is 10 which is correct choice.
To cross validate
k = 400/r = 400/40 = 10
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x, height of men is N(69, 2.8)
Sample size n =150
Hence sample std dev =
Hence Z score =
A) Prob that a random man from 150 can fit without bending
= P(X<78) = P(Z<3.214)=1.0000
B) n =75
Sample std dev =
P(X bar <72) = P(Z<9.28) = 1.00
C) Prob of B is more relevent because average male passengers would be more relevant than a single person
(D) The probability from part (b) is more relevant because it shows the proportion of flights where the mean height of the male passengers will be less than the door height.
