The error Giovanna made in her calculation is multiplying 7 by 2 and adding with 5/8(step 3)

<h3>Fraction</h3>

Her calculation:

  • 7 (2 and StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction): 7(2 5/8)

  • 7 (2 + StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction): 7(2 + 5/8)

  • 14 + StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction: 14 + 5/8

  • 14 and StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction: 14 5/8

Her error was multiplying 7 by 2 and adding with 5/8(step 3)

Correct calculation:

7(2 + 5/8)

= 14 + 35/8

= (112+35) /8

= 147/8

= 18 3/8

John's commute time to work during the week follows the normal probability distribution with a mean time of 26.7 minutes and a s
Galina-37 [17]

A suitable probability calculator will tell you that probabilty is about 25.9%.


_____

The normalcdf function on this calculator gives an area between a lower and upper limit. If the upper limit is more than about 8 standard deviations above the mean, the 10th decimal place is unaffected. Since the standard deviation here is about 5, we need to have an upper limit that is about 40 above the mean of about 30. We have chosen 80 as a nice round number and to give a little more margin.

One inlet pipe can fill an empty pool in 6 hours, and a drain can empty the pool in 12 hours. How long will it take the pipe to
Ainat [17]

Answer: 12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = time it takes to fill the pool if the inlet pipe and drain pipe are both open

1/6 = portion of pool filled per hour by the inlet pipe

1/12 = portion of pool emptied per hour by the drain

1/x = portion of pool filled per hour if the inlet pipe and drain are both open

Then, 1/6 - 1/12 = 1/x

Multiply by the LCD, 12x, to obtain

2x - x = 12

x = 12 hours
