It takes 5.22 hours to install carpeting in a room

Step-by-step explanation:

At first lets find the relation between yard, feet and inch

1. 1 yard = 3 feet

2. 1 foot = 12 inches

3. 1 yard = 36 inches

Let us change all measures to inches

∵ 1 yard = 36 inches

∴ 1 yard² = (36)² inches²

- Fine Floors can install 15 square yards of carpeting in 4 hours and

30 minutes

∵ 15 yard² = 15 × (36)² inches²

∴ 15 yards² = 19440 inches²

∵ 1 hour = 60 minutes

∴ 30 minutes = 30/60 = 0.5 hour

∴ 4 hours and 30 minutes = 4.5 hours

∴ Fine Floors can install 19440 inches² in 4.5 hours

∵ The dimensions of the room are 11 feet 9 inches by 13 feet 4 inches

∵ 1 foot = 12 inches

∴ 11 feet 9 inches = 11 × 12 + 9 = 141 inches

∴ 13 feet 4 inches = 13 × 12 + 4 = 160 inches

∴ The area of the room = 141 × 160 = 22560 inches²

Now lets use the ratio method to answer the question

⇒ area of carpeting (in²) : time of carpeting (hr)

⇒ 19440 : 4.5

⇒ 22560 : h

By using cross multiplication

∴ 19440 h = 4.5 × 22560

∴ 19440 h = 101520

- Divide both sides by 19440

∴ h = 5.22 hrs

It takes 5.22 hours to install carpeting in a room

An employment agency requires applicants average at least 70% on a battery of four job skills tests. If an applicant scored 70%,

brilliants [131]

Answer:

atleast 52

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an employment agency requires applicants average at least 70% on a battery of four job skills tests.

An applicant scored 70%, 77%, and 81% on the first three exams,

Since weightages are not given we can assume all exams have equal weights

Let x be the score on the 4th test

Then total of all 4 exams = $70+77+81+x\\= 228+x$

Average should exceed 70%

i.e. $\bar X \geq 70\\Total\geq 70(4) =280$

Comparing the two totals we have

$228+x\geq 280\\x\geq 280-228 = 52$

Hemust score on the fourth test a score atleast 52 to maintain a 70% or better average.

A piece of buttered toast falls to the floor 17 times. The toast landed buttered side up 6 times. What is the probability that t

kirza4 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A piece of buttered toast falls to the floor 17 times. The toast landed buttered side up 6 times.

It means that the total number of outcomes are 17

We need to find the probability that the toast lands buttered side down. Favourable oucome is 17-6 = 11

So, probability is given by :

$P(E)=\dfrac{\text{favourable outcomes}}{\text{total no of outcomes}}$

$P(E)=\dfrac{11}{17}$

So, the probability that the toast lands buttered side down is 11/17.
