Given slabs thicknesses 5in, 10in, and 15in.

Therefore,<u> </u><u>ratio of thicknesses in simplest form would be 1:2:3.</u>

Metal 1 thicknesses =  150lbs, 300lbs, 600lbs

Dividing by 150, we get ratio of Metal 1 thicknesses = 1:2:4.

Metal 2 thicknesses = 130lbs, 260lbs, 390lbs.

Dividing by 130, we get ratio of Metal 2 thicknesses =  1:2:3.

Metal 3 thicknesses = 310lbs, 620lbs, 930lbs.

Dividing by 310, we get ratio of Metal 3 thicknesses = 1:2:3.

Metal 4 thicknesses = 140lbs, 280lbs, 420lbs.

Dividing by 140, we get ratio of Metal 4 thicknesses = 1:2:3.

<u>We can see the ratios of thicknesses of Metal 1 are 1:2:4 but it should be 1:2:3.</u>

Therefore, Metal 1 weight is not proportional to thickness.

Answer:

Weights of metal 1 is not proportional to thickness.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given 3 thicknesses of metal slabs and the weights of each thickness for each metal. We are asked to find out which of the metals weight is not proportional to thickness.

We can see that the thicknesses of slabs are first three multiples of 5 that is 5 inches, 10 inches and 15 inches.

Now let us see which of the metals have not their weights proportional to their thicknesses.

In our first option we can see that 300 is 2 times 150 and 600 is 4 times 150 which is not proportional to thickness. In order to metal 1's weight to be proportional with it's thickness it should be 450 lbs instead of 600.

Our second metal's weight is proportional to it's thickness as 130, 260 and 390 are 3 first consecutive multiples of 130.

Our third and fourth metal's weights are also proportional to their thicknesses.

Therefore, metal 1's weight is not proportional to thickness.

Spin the spinner 90 times to simulate the 90-day weather forecast. Which type of weather has the lowest observed frequency?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Complete Question:

The weather forecast for next season calls for a 10% chance of wind, a 20% chance of rain, a 30% chance of clouds, and a 40% chance of sunshine. If there are 90 days in the season,spin the spinner 90 times to simulate the 90-day weather forecast. Which type of weather has the lowest observed frequency?

Answer:

 Wind Weather

Step-by-step explanation

From the question above

The sample space(which means the total number of events that we are considering ) = 90 times of spinning which represents the 90 days  weather forecast

The chance of wind weather occurring is 10% and its observed  frequency of occurrence within the 90 days is  =  (10÷100) × 90 =  9 days

The chance of rain weather occurring is 20% and its observed  frequency of occurrence within the 90 days is  =  (20÷100) × 90 =  18 days

The chance of cloud weather occurring is 30% and its observed frequency of occurrence  within the 90 days is  =  (30÷100) × 90 =  27 days

The chance of sunshine weather occurring is 40% and its observed frequency of occurrence within the 90 days is  =  (40÷100) × 90 =  36 days

We see from the above calculation that the weather with the lowest observed frequency is Wind weather

katrin [286]

Answer: 12.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem;

The diagonal in the rectangle creates two right triangles, with a hypotenuse length of 14 inches. One of the side lengths of this right triangle is 6 inches.

Using the Pythagorean =Theorem, you can use the formula 14^2-6^2= 160.

the square root of 160 is 12.64911064. Round to nearest tenth

Mission Control sends a signal to a Mars robot to travel to a mysterious rock 52.8 meters away. A return signal 59.0 minutes lat
Andrei [34K]
The response time includes the round-trip signal time plus the robot's travel time.
  59 min = 2*(9.5 min) +travel time
  59 min -2*(9.5 min) = travel time = 40 min

The speed is distance / travel time
  speed = (52.8 m)/(40 min) = 1.32 m/min

The robot's average speed was 1.32 meters per minute.
