The organizers of a fair projected a 25 percent increase in attendance this year over that of last year, but attendance this yea

r actually decreased by 20 percent. What percent of the projected attendance was the actual attendance?

Answer: 64 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume attendance last year to be equal to "x"

- An increase in percentage sees us add the percentage amount to 100.

- A decrease in percentage sees us subtract the percentage amount from 100.

Projected attendance = ((100+25)/100) * x = 1.25x

Actual attendance = ((100-20)/100) * x = 0.80x

Hence ratio of a actual to projected attendance = 0.80x/1.25x = 0.64

Convert into percentage = 0.64 * 100 = 64 %

Wheat contains about 2.5 kcal per gram, and the average U.S. male consumes 2500 kcal per day. How many hectares of wheat are nee
Yuri [45]
First of 30% of 2500kcal is 750kcal
if a male consumes 2.5 kcal then 750kcal / 2.5kcal = 300
but then we would need to know how many wheat are on one hectare of land.

Estimate the indicated probability by using normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. Estimate P(6)
lianna [129]

Answer:

P(6) = 0.6217

Step-by-step explanation:

To find P(6), which is the probability of getting a 6 or less, we will need to first calculate two things: the mean of the sample (also known as the "expected value") and the standard deviation of the sample.  

Mean = np

Here, "n" is the sample size and "p" is the probability of the outcome of interest, which could be getting a heads when a tossing a coin, for instanc

So, Mean = n × p = (18) ×(0.30) = 5.4

Next we we will find the standard deviation:

Standard Deviation = \sqrt{npq}

n = 18  and  p = 0.3   "q" is simply the probability of the other possible outcome (maybe getting a tails when flipping a coin), so   q = 1 - p

Standard Deviation =\sqrt{npq} = \sqrt{(18)(0.3)(0.7)}  

                                                            = 1.944

Now calculate the Z score for 6 successes.  

Z = ( of successes we're interested in - Mean) ÷ (Standard Deviation)

=(6-5.4)  ÷ (1.944) = 0.309

we have our Z-score, we look on the normal distribution and find the area of the curve to the left of a Z value of 0.309.  This is basically adding up all of the possibilities for getting less than or equal to 6 successes.  So, we get 0.6217.

Jenna mixed two shades of purple paint. For Purple People Eater, she used 3 pints of red paint for every 5 pints of blue paint.
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

\frac{12}{35}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

→ For Purple People Eater, she used 3 pints of red paint for every 5 pints of blue paint.

i.e, The ratio of red paint to blue paint is 3:5

→ For Purple Majesty, she used a blue to red paint ratio of 7 to 4.

i.e, The ratio of red paint to blue paint is 4:7

To find :

1) Compare the ratios of red paint to blue paint.

\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{4}{7}=\frac{12}{35}

2) The ratio for Purple People Eater can be expressed in fraction form as :

=\frac{3}{5}

3) The ratio for Purple Majesty can be expressed in fraction form as :

=\frac{7}{4}

4) To compare these fractions, rewrite them with a common denominator

For common denominator

Multiply numerator and denominator by 4 in \frac{3}{5}

\Rightarrow\frac{3\times 4}{5\times4}=\frac{12}{20}

Multiply numerator and denominator by 5 in \frac{7}{4}

\Rightarrow\frac{7\times 5}{5\times4}=\frac{35}{20}

Common denominator is 20

Tasha has eight more fish than Oscar, who has twice as many fish as Cecilia. If altogether they have 148 fish, how many fish do
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

They each have 64

Step-by-step explanation:

let C = number of fish that Cecilia has --- then, O = 2C, where O = number of fish that Oscar has --- and T = O + 8 = 2C + 8, where T = number of fish that Tasha has --- then, C + O + T = C + 2C + (2C + 8) = 148 --- or, 5C + 8 = 148 --- or, 5C = 140 --- or, C = 140/5 = 28 --- and, O = 2C = 2(28) = 56 --- and, T = O + 8 = 56 + 8 = 64

A gardener wants to replant a circular bare spot in a yard with grass. The bare spot has a radius of 8 inches. What is the area
ch4aika [34]

The area of the bare spot the gardener needs to replant is 201 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the area of the circular bare spot

Given

Radius of bare spot = r = 8 inches

The formula for area of a circle is given by:

Area=A = \pi r^2

putting the value

A = 3.14 * (8)^2\\= 3.14 * 64\\=200.96

Rounding off to nearest foot

201 ft^2

Hence,

The area of the bare spot the gardener needs to replant is 201 square feet

Keywords: Area, radius
