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.

FIND A AND B I WILL AWARD BRAINLIEST
stepladder [879]

Answer:

a = 7.4

b = 9.6

Step-by-step explanation:

set up a proportion to find 'b':

XN / NY = MN / NO

8/b = 13/(b+6)

cross-multiply:

13b = 8(b+6)

13b = 8b + 48

5b = 48

b = 9.6

set up a proportion to find 'a':

XN / XY = MN / MO

8/a = 13/12

cross-multiply:

13a = 96

a ≈ 7.4

Michael has to walk 3/8 of a kilometer tyo the store. He walks 4/5 of the way.How far did he walk?
hodyreva [135]
The first thing you should do for this case is find the amount that Michael has traveled.
 For this we have to multiply the distance to the store and the percentage traveled.
 We have then:
 (3/8) * (4/5) = 12/40
 Simplifying we have:
 (12/40) * ((1/2) / (1/2)) = (6/20) * ((1/2) / (1/2)) = 3/10
 answer
 Michael has walked 3 / 10Km (80% of the way to the store)

Rachel measured the lengths of a random sample of 100 screws. The mean length was 2.9 inches, and the population standard deviat
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

z = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the z-statistic is given by:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

In which:

X is the measured value.

\mu is the expected value.

s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} is the standard deviation of the sample. \sigma is the standard deviation of the population.

In this question:

The mean length was 2.9 inches, and the population standard deviation is 0.1 inch.

This means that \mu = 2.9, \sigma = 0.1

Random sample of 100 screws.

This means that n = 100.

To see if the batch of screws has a significantly different mean length from 3 inches, what would the value of the z-test statistic be?

3 inches, so X = 3

s = \frac{0.1}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.01

z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

z = \frac{3 - 2.9}{0.01}

z = 10
