Let Alex's height = a.

Let Ben'x height = b.


a + b = 130

b - a = b/3


Subtract b/3 from both sides int he second equation to obtain:

(2/3)b - a = 0


Add this new equation to the first original equation.


(5/3)b = 130


b = 130 * 3/5


b = 78


a + b = 130


a + 78 = 130


a = 130 - 78


a = 52


Answer: Alex's height is 52 inches, and Ben's height is 78 inches.

alexdok [17]
The number of people who voted follows a binomial distribution with probability of having voted p=0.22 and n=150 subjects, which means the approximating normal distribution should have mean np=33 and standard deviation \sqrt{np(1-p)}\approx5.07.

With the continuity correction, you have

A gallon of paint covers 400 square feet. How many square feet will 2 3/8 gallons of paint cover?
Black_prince [1.1K]
1 gal = 400 ft²
2 3/8 gal = ? ft²

to solve, use similar ratios with units gal/ft² and compare

(1)/(400) = (2 3/8)/(x)

*multiply both sides by (x) and divide both sides by (1)/(400), you get:

x = (400)*(2 3/8)/(1) = 400*(2 3/8) = 400*2 + 400*3/8 = 800 + 150 = 950 ft²

<u><em>answer is 950 ft²</em></u>
