Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the Least Common Multiple (that isn't 0) between 6 and 7. To do this, list each number's multiples.

Multiples of 6: 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54

Multiples of 7: 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63

Their LCM is 42. Now, we multiply the fractions so the denominators are both 42. !You have to multiply <u>both</u> the numerator and denominator by the same number! For 6, 6*7 is 42, so you multiply both 6 and 5 by 7. When you do this, you get 35/42. For 7, 7*6 is 42, so you have to multiply both 7 and 2 by 6. When you do this, you get 12/42. The new problem is 35/42-12/42.

Hope this helps!

Weights of different sandwiches in two lengths are shown in the table.

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Egg salad sandwich is proportional to its length

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of Sandwiches by Length of Roll

6-inch Roll 12-Inch Roll

Cheese sandwich $\frac{1}{4}$ $\frac{3}{4}$

Chicken salad sandwich $\frac{3}{4}$ $1\frac{3}{4}$

Egg salad sandwich $\frac{2}{3}$ $1\frac{1}{3}$

For cheese sandwich proportion

$\frac{6}{\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{12}{\frac{3}{4}}\\24 \neq 16$

So, Cheese sandwich weight is not proportional to its length

For Chicken salad sandwich proportion

$\frac{6}{\frac{3}{4}}=\frac{12}{\frac{7}{4}}\\8 \neq \frac{48}{7}$

So, chicken salad sandwich is not proportional to its length

For Egg salad sandwich proportion

$\frac{6}{\frac{2}{3}}=\frac{12}{\frac{4}{3}}\\9=9$

So, egg salad sandwich is proportional to its length

In 2000, the mayo clinic conducted a study of whether air dryers eliminate more germs than paper towels. researchers recruited 1

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

This is an observational study based on a stratified sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

This study aimed to check which clean-up/drying up method after handwashing was more effective; that is, do dryers eliminate more germs than paper towels.

It involved 100 people that took part in the study. The 100 of them contaminated their hands and were instructed to wash their hands with soap and water for 15 seconds before the participants are randomly grouped into two strata; one stratum/group (consisting of 50 participants) that dries their hands with a dryer and another (also consisting of 50 participants) that dry their hands with paper towels.

An observational study is one in which data is collected only by monitoring the events of the study. The conductor of the study in no way tries to intervene or control any of the variables being studied. No control, no tweaking of factors, just observe and record data.

An observational study based on a stratified sample is an observational study that uses the stratified sampling method to carry out its objectives. It randomly puts each of the participants being observed into groups or strata. Each group of randomly assigned participants are then required to run the test for one of the variables being compared.

This is exactly what the study in the question describes. This is why this study is undoubtedly an observational study based on a stratified sample.
