Cassava = 1/3 of his land

Remaining after planting Cassava = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3 of his land

Maize = 2/5 x 2/3 = 4/15 of his land

Vegetables = 2/3 - 4/15 = 2/5 of his land



If vegetables = 10 acres

2/5 of his land = 10 acres

1/5 of his land = 10 ÷ 2 = 5 acres

5/5 of his land = 5 x 5 = 25 acres

Answer: Total area 25 acres.

Mike and Ike are experts at pitching horseshoes. 70% of Mike's tosses are ringers. 67% of Ike's tosses are ringers. Suppose Mike
ahrayia [7]
Mike tosses 70%
Ike tosses 67%
Both tosses 50%

<span>Which of the following is closest to the probability that Ike's proportion is ringers is higher than Mike's for those tosses?
</span>
P(m) = 70/100
P(i) = 67/100
P(b) = 50/100

= P(b) * P(i) 
= 50/100 * 67/100
= 0.335

The correct answer is letter D) 0.3745.

Which statements are true of the function f(x) = 3(2.5)x? Check all that apply.
Neporo4naja [7]
For this case we have a function of the form:
 y = A * (b) ^ x&#10;
 Where,
 A: initial amount
 b: growth rate (for b> 1)
 x: independent variable
 y: dependent variable
 We then have the following function:
 f (x) = 3 (2.5) ^ x&#10;
 Using the definition, the following statements are correct:
 1) The function is exponential
 2) The function increases by a factor of 2.5 for each unit increase in x
 3) The domain of the function is all real numbers

A large city in the ancient world was square-shaped. measured in miles, its area numerically exceeded its perimeter by about 132
melisa1 [442]
Area = perimeter + 132.  

Let  each side of the city be x miles long, then:-

x^2 = 4x  + 132
x^2 - 4x - 132 = 0

x  =  [-(-4) +/- sqrt((-4)^2 - 4 * 1 *-132)] / 2

x = 13.66, -9.66   We ignore the negative

So the city  has dimension of 13.66 * 13.66

13.7 * 13.7   to nearest 10th

Find each product.<br> 1) (5n - 5)(4n - 4)
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

20n² - 40n + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

(5n - 5)(4n - 4)

= 5n(4n) + 5n(-4) - 5(4n) - 5(-4)

= 20n² - 20n - 20n + 20

= 20n² - 40n + 20

Another way to do this:

(5n - 5)(4n - 4)

= 5(n - 1) * 4(n - 1)

= 20(n - 1)(n - 1)

= 20(n - 1)²

= 20(n² - 2n + 1)

= 20n² - 40n + 20
