Answer:

70 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

This is called inverse proportion.

1hr : 14in

x hr : 12in

Ask yourself, what do you do to 14 to get 12? To find this out, we do:

14 / 12 = 1.16666667

Since the blade is smaller, it will take longer. So, we times 1hr by 1.16666667 to get

1.16666667 hrs =

1.17 hours (rounded)

This is 70.2 mins, or 1hr 10 mins

Hope this helps!

If the time taken by 14 inches wide is one hour then the blade of 12 inches wide will take 1 hour 17 minutes to mow a lawn.

What is width?

The width of something is the measurement of one side of a body. It is generally less than length of that body or shape.

How to calculate time?

We have been given time of 1 hour if blade is 14 inches wide and we have to calculate time taken by 12 inches wide blade:

It will be as 14/12* 1 hour

=14/12

=1.167

=1.17 hour

Hence the time taken by the blade of 12 inches wide will be 1 hour and 17 minutes.

A softball pitcher has a 0.675 probability of throwing a strike for each pitch and a 0.325 probability of throwing a ball. If th
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The probability that exactly 19 of them are strikes is 0.1504

Step-by-step explanation:

The binomial probability parameters given are;

The probability that the pitcher throwing a strike, p = 0.675

The probability that the pitcher throwing a ball. q = 0.325

The binomial probability is given as follows;

p(x) = _{n}C_{x}\cdot p^{x}\cdot q^{1-x}

Where:

x = Required probability

Therefore, the probability that the pitcher throws 19 strikes out of 29 pitches is found as follows;

The probability that exactly 19 of them are strikes is given as follows;

\binom{29}{19}(0.675)^{19}0.325^{10} = \frac{29!}{19!\times 10!}\times (0.675)^{19}\times 0.325^{10} = 0.1504

Hence the probability that exactly 19 of them are strikes = 0.1504

The product of eight minus a number and seven equals forty when decreased by five. Which equation represents the sentence?
weeeeeb [17]
The "product" of two numbers means you multiply them.

So, you are multiplying (8-n), where n = "a number," by 7.

Then, when you decrease (subtract) this product by 5, you get 40.

So the whole thing looks like

7(8-n) - 5 = 40.
