Answer:

The length of the two pieces are 44 feet and 77 feet .

Option (D) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Mr. Stanton bought 121 feet of rope to repair a rope bridge. The ratio of the two pieces that he needs from the length he bought is 4 to 7.

Let us assume that the x be the scalar multiple of the two pieces .

One piece = 4x

Second piece = 7x

Than the equation becomes

4x + 7x = 121

11 x = 12

$x = \frac{121}{11}$

x = 11

Thus

One piece = 4 × 11

= 44 feet

Second piece = 7 × 11

= 77 feet

Therefore the length of the two pieces are 44 feet and 77 feet .

Option (D) is correct .

Answer:

$\mathbf{\log_432}=2.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\log_42=0.5$

حن بحاجة إلى إيجاد $\log_432$

دع $\log_432=x$

$\log_42\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2=x$

$\Rightarrow x=\log_42^5$

$\Rightarrow x=5\log_42$ $[\because \log_ab^x=x\log_ab]$

$\Rightarrow x=5\times0.5$

$\Rightarrow x=2.5$

$\mathbf{\therefore\log_432=2.5}$

LMN is a straight angle. Find m LMP and m NMP

viva [34]

Answer:

(-16x + 13)° + (-20x + 23)° = 180° ( St. angle)

-16x° + 13° - 20x° + 23° = 180°

-4x° + 36° = 180°

-4x° = 180°-36°

-4x° = 144°

-x° = 144°/4

-x° = -36°

x° = 36°

Last year Boris paid £256 for his car insurance.

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The percentage increase in the cost of Boris car insurance cost is 249%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we want to calculate the percentage increase in the cost of car insurance paid by Boris

Mathematically, to calculate this percentage increase, we shall need to make use of a mathematical formula.

Mathematically, the percentage increase would be;

{(new value paid-old value paid)/old value paid} * 100%

From the question, we can identify that the old value paid is £256 while the new value paid is £894

Thus, the percentage increase would be ;

(894-256)/256 * 100% = 638/256 * 100 = 2.4921875 * 100 = 249.21875 which is 249% increase to the nearest whole percentage

the performance score of 10 adults is recorded, and the results are 83 87 90 92 93 100 104 111 115 121 find the standard deviati

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The standard deviation of the data set is $\sigma = 12.7906$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The Standard Deviation is a measure of how spread out numbers are. Its symbol is σ (the greek letter sigma)

To find the standard deviation of the following data set

$\begin{array}{cccccccc}83&87&90&92&93&100&104&111\\115&121&&&&&&\end{array}$

we use the following formula

$\sigma = \sqrt{ \frac{ \sum{\left(x_i - \overline{X}\right)^2 }}{n-1} }$

Step 1: Find the mean $\left( \overline{X} \right)$ .

The mean of a data set is the sum of the terms divided by the total number of terms. Using math notation we have:

$Mean = \frac{Sum ~ of ~ terms}{Number ~ of ~ terms}$

$Mean = \frac{Sum ~ of ~ terms}{Number ~ of ~ terms}=\frac{83+87+90+92+93+100+104+111+115+121}{10} \\\\Mean = \frac{996}{10} =\frac{498}{5}=99.6$

Step 2: Create the below table.

Step 3: Find the sum of numbers in the last column to get.

$\sum{\left(x_i - \overline{X}\right)^2} = 1472.4$

Step 4: Calculate σ using the above formula.

$\sigma = \sqrt{ \frac{ \sum{\left(x_i - \overline{X}\right)^2 }}{n-1} } = \sqrt{ \frac{ 1472.4 }{ 10 - 1} } \approx 12.7906$
