At her birthday party, marcie's guests ate 2/3 of her birthday cake and her family ate 1/4 of the cake. How much cake was left after her party?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

So you start with an equation. 2/3 plus 1/4= ?.

Step 1: Find a common donominator.

Count by each number until they meat up.

3 6 9 12

4 8 12

Step 2: Multiply.

Basically, make sure that if you do something to the bottom you do the same to the top. You have

[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]  = [tex]\frac{?}{12}[/tex]. 3 times 4 is 12. 2 times 4 is 8. Your new fraction is [tex]\frac{8}{12}[/tex].

[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{?}{12}[/tex]. 4 times 3 is 12. 1 times 3 is 3. Your new fraction is [tex]\frac{3}{12}[/tex].

Step 3: Just Add!

[tex]\frac{8}{12} + \frac{3}{12}= \frac{11}{12}[/tex]

Step 4: Answer the question! The question asks "How much cake is left. You know that a whole cake is [tex]\frac{12}{12}[/tex]. So, [tex]\frac{12}{12} -\frac{11}{12} = \frac{1}{12}[/tex]

The governor of state A earns ​$48,980 more than the governor of state B. If the total of their salaries is ​$289,660​, find the salaries of each

Answers

Answer:

Governor of State B: $120,340; Governor of State A: $169,320

Step-by-step explanation:

For the sake of this problem, let's set the salary of State B's governor as x. That would make the salary of State A's governor equal to x+48980. The following lists out how to solve this problem.

Governor B salary + Governor A salary = $48980

x+x+48980=289660

2x+48980=289660

2x=240680

x=120340

120340+48980=169320

Let x = salary for governor of state A
Let y = salary for governor of state B

Then x = y + 48980, since gov. of state A earns this much more than governor of state B.

Therefore we have x + y = 289660. Substitute for x.

(y + 48980) + y = 289660
2y + 48980 = 289660
2y = 240680
y = $120340, which is salary for governor B.

Now we substitute y into x = y + 48980
x = 120340 + 48980
x = $169320, which is salary for governor A.

Which of the following statements about photocopier A1 is correct compared to the other photocopiers?

Answers

Answer:

Option 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of breakdowns of the photocopiers in year 2011,

A1 = 15

A2 = 21

B1 = 34

B2 = 32

B3 = 23

Option (1)

A1 had just under a half the number of breakdowns compared to photocopier B3.

Half of B3 = 12

And A1 = 15

Therefore, A1 > B3

So the statement is False.

Option (2)

A1 had just under 50% of the breakdowns compared to photocopier B2

50% of the breakdowns of B2 = 16

A1 = 15

So, A1 < 50% of B2

Statement (2) is True.

Option (3)

A1 had more than 25 extra breakdowns compared to B1.

A1= 15

B1 = 34

A1 < B1

Therefore, statement is False.

Option (4)

A1 had 6% less breakdowns than photocopier A2.

A1 = 15

A2 = 21

A2 - A1 = 21 - 15 = 6

Percentage less breakdowns = [tex]\frac{6}{21}\times 100[/tex] = 28.6%

So this Option is False.

Therefore, Option (2) is the correct option.

A farmer wants to fence in a rectangular plot of land adjacent to the north wall of his barn. No fencing is needed along the barn, and the fencing along the west side of the plot is shared with a neighbor who will split the cost of that portion of the fence. If the fencing costs $14 per linear foot to install and the farmer is not willing to spend more than $7000, find the dimensions for the plot that would enclose the most area. (Enter the dimensions as a comma separated list.)

Answers

Answer:

Width  = 166.7 ft

Length = 250 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram at the ATTACHMENT

Let us denote the the length of the rectangular area as "x" and

the width of the rectangular area as "y"

Since, cost of the fence on the western side is shared with a neighbor, we can say  it is $7 per foot. Otherwise, it is $14 per foot. The northern length is not fenced.

From the question, we know that the  cost is not to exceed $7000, therefore we can expressed it as

7y + 14x + 14y = 7000

14x + 21y = 7000

Divide through by 14, we have

(x + 1.5) = 500  ------------- eqn (*)            

But the area of the fenced

= A = (x×y)      -------------- eqn  (**)                    

Substitute (*) into (**) we have

A = (500 - 1.5y)*y

= 500y - 1.5y²

In other to maximize the Area, we can find the differential of A

A'(y) = 500 - 3y

At A'(y) = 0.

500-3y= 0

3y=500

y= 166.67 ft

From eqn(*)

(x+ 1.5) = 500

x = 500 - 1.5y

500-1.5(166.67)

= 250ft

Therefore, the dimensions for the plot that would enclose the most area are

Width  of 166.67 ft and Length = 250 ft.

The life span of a domestic cat is normally distributed with a mean of 15.7 years and a standard deviation of 1.6 years. a. Find the probability that a cat will live to be older than 14 years. b. Find the probability that a cat will live between 14 and 18 years. c. If a cat lives to be over 18 years, would that be unusual? Why or why not? d. How old would a cat have to be to be older than 90% of other cats?

Answers

Answer

a. 0.856

b. 0.78071

c. It is not unusual

d. 13.65 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

The life span of a domestic cat is normally distributed with a mean of 15.7 years and a standard deviation of 1.6 years.

We solve this question using z score formula:

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

a. Find the probability that a cat will live to be older than 14 years.

For x > 14 years

z = 14 - 15.7/1.6

z = -1.0625

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<14) = 0.144

P(x>14) = 1 - P(x<14) = 0.856

b. Find the probability that a cat will live between 14 and 18 years.

For x = 14 years

z = 14 - 15.7/1.6

z = -1.0625

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 14) = 0.144

For x = 18 years

z = 18 - 15.7/1.6

z= 1.4375

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 18) = 0.92471

The probability that a cat will live between 14 and 18 years is calculated as:

P(x = 18) - P(x = 14)

0.92471 - 0.144

= 0.78071

c. If a cat lives to be over 18 years, would that be unusual? Why or why not?

For x > 18 years

z = 18 - 15.7/1.6

z= 1.4375

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<18) = 0.92471

P(x>18) = 1 - P(x<18) = 0.075288

Converting this to percentage:

0.075288 × 100 = 7.5288%

Hence, 7.5288% of the cats live to be over 18 years. Hence, it is not unusual.

d. How old would a cat have to be to be older than 90% of other cats?

From the question above, 10% of the cats would be older than 90% of other cats.

Hence, we find the z score of the 10th percentile

= -1.282

Hence,

-1.282 = x - 15.7/1.6

Cross Multiply

-1.282 × 1.6 = x - 15.7

- 2.0512 = x - 15.7

x = 15.7 -2.0512

x = 13.6488 years old

Approximately = 13.65 years old

1. A certain manufacturing process to build phone batteries results in the production of defective batteries at a rate of 5% (0.05). Suppose that 10 batteries are produced. a. Find the expected number of defective batteries. b. Find the variance and standard deviation in the number of defective batteries. c. Find the probability that at least 1 battery is defective.

Answers

Answer:

0.5 ; 0.475 ; 0.689 ; 0.4013

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Rate of production of defective batteries p = 0.05

Number of batteries produced (n) = 10

The expected number of defective batteries = mean = n * p = 10 * 0.05 = 0.5 batteries

Variance of defective batteries :

Var(X) = n * p * q ; q = 1 - p

Hence,

Var(X) = 10 * 0.05 * 0.95 = 0.475

Standard deviation (X) = sqrt(variance) = sqrt(0.475) = 0.689

Probability that atleast 1 battery is defective :

Using the binomial probability function

P(x ≥ 1) = 1 - p(x = 0)

= 1 - q^n

= 1 - 0.95^10

= 1 - 0.59873693923837890625

= 0.40126306076162109375

= 0.4013

What is the surface area of the right trapezoidal prism? To receive credit, you must show the work used to arrive at a final answer.

Answers

Answer:

210 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The net of the right trapezoidal prism consists of 2 trapezoid base and four rectangles.

Surface area of the trapezoidal prism = 2(area of trapezoid base) + area of the 4 rectangles

✔️Area of the 2 trapezoid bases:

Area = 2(½(a + b)×h)

Where,

a = 7 cm

b = 11 cm

h = 3 cm

Plug in the values

Area = 2(½(7 + 11)×3)

= (18 × 3)

Area of the 2 trapezoid bases = 54 cm²

✔️Area of Rectangle 1:

Length = 6 cm

Width = 3 cm

Area = 6 × 3 = 18 cm²

✔️Area of Rectangle 2:

Length = 7 cm

Width = 6 cm

Area = 7 × 6 = 42 cm²

✔️Area of Rectangle 3:

Length = 6 cm

Width = 5 cm

Area = 6 × 5 = 30 cm²

✔️Area of Rectangle 4:

Length = 11 cm

Width = 6 cm

Area = 11 × 6 = 66 cm²

✅Surface area of the trapezoidal prism = 54 + 18 + 42 + 30 + 66 = 210 cm²

4 120 30

25 750 30

9 270 30

The required values are in the completed table which has been attached below.

What is the distance?

Distance is defined as the product of speed and time.

Since the Cheetah's speed is constant, the speed must be consistent throughout the table.

To calculate the unknown time and distance, use the following formula:

Speed = Distance/Time = c

When distance = 120m, time = 4 secs

Speed = 120/4 = c

Speed = 30m/s = c

We are to get the distance when the time is 25 secs

Speed = Distance/Time

30 = d₂/25

d₂ = 30 × 25

d₂ = 750 m

To get the time in the third column

Time = Distance/Speed

t₃ = 270/30

t₃ = 9seconds

Therefore, the required values are in the completed table which has been attached below.
