Answer:

$\frac{20}{27}$ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simply set up a ratio to solve this problem.

Since plant grew 5/9 foot in 3/4 month, how many feet (let it be x) can it grow in 1 month??

We can set up the ratio shown below, cross multiply and solve for x:

$\frac{\frac{5}{9}}{\frac{3}{4}}=\frac{x}{1}\\\frac{5}{9}*1=\frac{3}{4}*x\\\frac{5}{9}=\frac{3}{4}x\\x=\frac{\frac{5}{9}}{\frac{3}{4}}\\x=\frac{5}{9}*\frac{4}{3}\\x=\frac{20}{27}$

Hence, we can say the pepper plant will grow 20/27 feet in 1 month.

Answer:

a. 30%

b. $893.59

c.

$\frac{(351.10-x)}{893.59}\times 100\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Given that the carpet costs $427.35, the labor costs $212.52 and other flooring supplies costs $75.

#To get the percent of the flooring bill that will go towards the cost of labor:

$\% labor\ cost=\frac{labor \ cost}{Total \ flooring \ cost}\times 100\%\\\\=\frac{212.52}{427.35+212.52+75}\times 100\%\\\\=\frac{212.52}{714.87}\times 100\%\\\\=29.73\%\approx30\%$

Hence, labor costs 30% of the total flooring costs.

b.The total flooring costs is :

$F_c=212.52+427.35+75\\\\=714.87$

Given that she spends 25% more on furniture than on flooring, we multiply the flooring cost by 125% to get the furniture costs:

$Furniture \ Cost= Flooring \ C\ost \times 125%\\\\=714.87\times 1.25\\\\=893.59$

Hence, she spends $893.59 on furniture.

c.To get what percentage of furniture cost was the night stand.

-Given the total furniture cost is $893.59:

Let x be the cost of the dresser and y the cost of the nightstand;

$x+y=Furniture\ cost -Bed \ cost\\\\x+y=893.59-558.49=351.1\\\\y=351.1-x$

The percentage is then calculated as:

$\% cost \ of \ nightstand=\frac{cost \ of \ nighstand}{Furniture \ Cost}\times 100\%\\\\=\frac{351.10-x}{893.59}\times 100\%\\\\=\frac{(351.10-x)}{893.59}\times 100\%$

Hnece the percentage cost of the night stand is $\frac{(351.10-x)}{893.59}\times 100\%$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would determine the mean an standard deviation first

Mean = (107 + 92 + 97 + 95 + 105 + 101 + 91 + 99 + 95 + 104)/10 = 98.6

Standard deviation = √(summation(x - mean)/n

n = 10

Summation(x - mean) = (107 - 98.6)^2 + (92 - 98.6)^2 + (97 - 96.6)^2 + (95 - 98.6)^2 + (105 - 98.6)^2 + (101 - 98.6)^2 + (91 - 98.6)^2 + (99 - 98.6)^2 + (95 - 98.6)^2 + (104 - 98.6)^2 = 274

Standard deviation = √(274/10) = 5.23

The confidence interval is used to determine the range of values that could possibly contain a population parameter (population mean)

Confidence interval is written in the form,

(Point estimate - margin of error, Point estimate + margin of error)

The sample mean, x is the point estimate for the population mean.

We will use the t distribution because the sample size is small and the population standard deviation is not given.

Degree of freedom, df = 10 - 1 = 9

α = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

z α/2 = 0.01/2 = 0.005

The area to the right of z 0.005 is 0.005 and the area to the left of z0.005 is 1 - 0.005 = 0.995. Using the t distribution table,

z = 3.25

Margin of error = z × s/√n

Where

s = sample standard Deviation = 5.23

Margin of error = 3.25 × 5.23/√10 = 5.38

Confidence interval = sample mean(point estimate) ± z × σ/√n

The lower boundary of the confidence interval is

98.6 - 5.38 = 93.22

The upper boundary of the confidence interval is

98.6 + 5.38 = 103.98

We estimate with 99% confidence that the mean weekly child care cost of their employees is between $93.22 and $103.98

Also,

99% of the confidence intervals constructed in this way would contain the true value for the population mean of mean weekly child care cost of their employees.

Calculate a23 for the product of the following matrices

s344n2d4d5 [400]

If $A$ is the matrix product

$A=\underbrace{\begin{pmatrix}1&2\\4&3\end{pmatrix}}_{M_1}\underbrace{\begin{pmatrix}6&1&5\\7&3&4\end{pmatrix}}_{M_2}$

and $a_{2,3}$ is the entry of $A$ in the second row and third column, then

$a_{2,3}=\begin{pmatrix}4&3\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}5\\4\end{pmatrix}=4\times5+3\times4=\boxed{32}$

That is, the 2nd row, 3rd column entry of $A$ is the product of the 2nd row of $M_1$ and the 3rd column of $M_2$ .

Six pipes are laid end to form a row.each pipe is 9 1/3 inches long.how long is the row of pipes in feet?

laiz [17]

six pipes are laid end to end to form a row. Each pipe is 9 1/3 inches long. how long is the row of pipes, in feet?

Answer:

4.67 feet or 4 feet 8 inches or $4\frac{2}{3}$ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length of the row pipes.

Given:

Number of pipes = 6

Each pipe has length $9\frac{1}{3}$ inches. and six pipes are laid end to end to form a row.

The total length of the row is equal to length of the 6 pipes.

So, total length of row = Number of pipes $\times$ Length of the pipe

$x=\frac{28}{3}\times 6$

$x=28\times 2$

$x=56$ inches

convert inch into feet.

$x=\frac{56}{12}$

$x=4.67 feet$

Therefore, The length of the row is 4.67 feet or 4 feet 8 inches or $4\frac{2}{3}$ feet .

Match each three-dimensional figure to its volume based on the given dimensions. (Assume π = 3.14.)

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The volume of the cylinder is 150.72 cm³ ⇒ last answer

The volume of the cone is 314 cm³ ⇒ 1st answer

The volume of the pyramid is 160 cm³ ⇒ 2nd answer

The volume of the pyramid is 48 cm³ ⇒ 3rd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the volumes of some shapes

- The volume of the cylinder of radius r and height h is:

V = π r² h

- The volume of the cone of radius r and height h is:

V = 1/3 π r² h

- The volume of the pyramid is:

V = 1/3 × its base area × its height

* Lets solve the problem

# A cylinder with radius 4 cm and height 3 cm

∵ V = π r² h

∵ π = 3.14

∵ r = 4 cm , h = 3 cm

∴ v = 3.14 (4)² (3) = 150.72 cm³

* The volume of the cylinder is 150.72 cm³

# A cone with radius 5 cm and height 12 cm

∵ V = 1/3 π r² h

∵ π = 3.14

∵ r = 5 cm , h = 12 cm

∴ V = 1/3 (3.14) (5)² (12) = 314 cm³

* The volume of the cone is 314 cm³

# A pyramid with base area 16 cm² and height 30 cm

∵ V = 1/3 × its base area × its height

∵ The area of the base is 16 cm²

∵ The height = 30 cm

∴ V = 1/3 (16) (30) = 160 cm³

* The volume of the pyramid is 160 cm³

# A pyramid with square base of length 3 cm and height 16 cm

∵ V = 1/3 × its base area × its height

∵ The area of the square = s²

∵ The area of the base = 3² = 9 cm²

∵ The height = 16 cm

∴ V = 1/3 (9) (16) = 48 cm³

* The volume of the pyramid is 48 cm³
