A 5-inch candle burns down in 4 hours. How far has it burned after 7 1/2 hours?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

9 3/8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Inches of candle : hours it burned

= 5 inches : 4 hours

How far has it burned after 7 1/2 hours?

Let

x = how far it has burned (inches)

Inches of candle : hours it burned = x inches : 7 1/2 hours

Equate both ratios

5 inches : 4 hours = x inches : 7 1/2 hours

5/4 = x ÷ 7 1/2

5/4 = x ÷ 15/2

5/4 = x * 2/15

5/4 = 2x/15

Cross product

5 * 15 = 4 * 2x

75 = 8x

x = 75/8

x = 9 3/8 inches

x = how far it has burned (inches) = 9 3/8 inches

41.1 feet of ribbon was leftover

(fraction form: 41 1/10)

Step-by-step explanation:

122 1/2 = 122.5

32 2/5 = 32 4/10 = 32.4

122.5 x 0.4 = 49

122.5 - 49 = 73.5

73.52 - 32.4 = 41.1

41.1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

40% of 122.5 [tex](122\frac{1}{2})[/tex] is 49.

Equation: y=p%·x

p=40% x=122.5

Solve the equation for y.

y=p%·x

y=40%·122.5'

Converting percent to decimal.

p = 40%/100 = 0.4

y=0.4·122.5

The value of an investment after t years is given by the function, A (t) = 500 (1 + 0.07t).

Complete the following statement. The initial value of the investment is_____,and the annual simple interest rate is____percent.

For the first blank
A. $500
B. $700

For the second blank
A.50
B.70
C.7
D.0.5
E.0.07

Answers

Answer:

A. $500

C. 7 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

Your problem follows the format of the Simple Interest Formula.

The formula is described as follows: A = P(1 + r*t)

Where P = initial value

r = interest rate as a decimal

t = amount of time.

In your equation of A = 500 ( 1 + 0.07 t )

we can see that 500 represents the P value which is the initial value of the investment.

We can also see that the rate is 0.07. Then converted from a decimal to a percent would be 7 percent.

During one month, the mean high temperature in Boise, Idaho, was 52.1°F with a standard deviation of 6.5° F. During the same month, the mean high temperature in Death Valley, California, was 81.9° F with a standard deviation of 6.4° F. Select all the statements that are true. ​

Answers

Answer:

B. The average high temperature in Death Valley was greater than the average in Boise

C. The variation of high temperature in Death valley was about the same as the variation in Boise

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: In a normal distribution, about 95% of the values are ±2 standard deviations from the mean. ±2 standard deviation from the mean high temperature of Boise is 39.1 to 65.1. Therefore, option A is wrong

Step 2: The average temperature high temperature of each of the places isngiven by their mean high temperatures.

The mean high temperature in Boise, Idaho, was 52.1°F while the mean high temperature in Death Valley, California, was 81.9°F.

Difference between the mean high temperatures is (81.9 - 52.1) = 29.8°F

Therefore, the average high temperature in Death Valley was greater than the average in Boise. Option B is correct.

Step 3: Standard deviation measures how spread out data is. It is a measure of variation of data.

The standard deviation of the high temperature in Boise, Idaho was 6.5° F, while the standard deviation of the high temperature in Death Valley, California was 6.4° F. This two values are about the same. Therefore, option C is correct.

Step 4: In a normal distribution, about 68% of the values are ±1 standard deviations from the mean. ±1 standard deviation from the mean high temperature of Death Valley is 75.5 to 88.3. Therefore, option D is wrong

Step 5: In a normal distribution, about 99.7% of the values are ±3 standard deviations from the mean. ±3 standard deviation from the mean high temperature of Boise is 32.6 to 71.6. Therefore, option E is wrong
