3. Jason uncle buys a 1.5 pound bag of pencils for the beginning of the year. He puts 1/2 of the pencils in a box. If Jason gets

The quantity of pounds of pencils that Jason gets, based on his sharing ratio, is <u>0.15 pounds</u>.

<h3>What is the sharing ratio?</h3>

The sharing ratio is the percentage or ratio that is held by a person out of the total value of the thing being shared.

Jason's share of the pencil can be determined by multiplying the total pencils in the box (1.5 x ¹/₂) by Jason's sharing ratio (¹/₅).

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Quantity of pencils bought = 1.5 pounds

Half of the pencils in a box = 0.75 pounds (1.5 x ¹/₂)

The pounds got by Jason from the box = <u>0.15 </u>(0.75 x ¹/₅)

Thus, the quantity of pounds of pencils that Jason gets is <u>0.15 pounds</u>.

Answer:

$367.38 is the cost to stain the entire deck.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is what you need to know beforehand:

<em>Diameter</em> is <u>a line</u> that goes <u>through a circle</u>. <em>Radius</em> is <u>a line </u>that goes from <u>the edge of the circle all the way to the center</u>/<u>a line </u>that goes <u>halfway through the circle</u>.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>First, find the area of the circle. Here is the formula:</u>

Area = 3.14 (Pi) x r²

Since radius is half of the diameter (as explained above), you'll need to divide the diameter in half: 12m/2 = 6m

So the formula will look like this:

Area = 3.14 x 6²

<u>Then, you just do the math:</u>

Area = 3.14 x 6²

Area = 3.14 x 36

Area = 113.04

The goal of the problem is to find the amount of money Emma needs. <u>Finally, all you need to do is multiply the amount it cost to stain per square meter by the total area of the deck:</u>

Answer = 113.04 x 3.25

Answer = 367.38

$367.38 is the cost to stain the entire deck.

What is the perimeter of the polygon?
mr_godi [17]
Welp. I sure hope you like the Pythagorean theorem...
Top line:
One point is (-2,-2) while the other is (3,-3)
Thus the distance in between is sqrt((3-(-2))^2+(-3-(-2))^2)=sqrt(5^2+(-1)^2)=sqrt(26)
Most right line:
One point is (4,-6) while the other is (3,-3)
Thus the distance in between is sqrt((3-4)^2+(-3-(-6))^2)=sqrt((-1)^2+3^2)=sqrt(10)
Most bottom line:
One point is (1,-6) while the other is (4,-6)
Thus the distance in between is sqrt(4-1)^2+(-6-(-6))^2)=sqrt(3^2+0^2)=sqrt(9)=3
Most bottom left line:
One point is (1,-6) while the other is (-2,-4)
Thus the distance in between is sqrt((1-(-2))^2+(-6-(-4))^2)=sqrt(3^2+(-2)^2)=sqrt(13)
Lastly the most left line:
One point is (-2,-2) while the other is (-2,-4)
Thus the distance in between is sqrt((-2-(-2))^2+(-2-(-4))^2)=sqrt(0^2+(2)^2)=sqrt(4)=2
Thus to find the perimeter, we add up all the sides to get
sqrt(26)+sqrt(10)+3+sqrt(13)+2=16.8668 or B

Here are two sets of numbers, a and b. Set a :200,104,100,160. Set b: 270,400,483,300, x. Mean of set a: mean of set b= 3:8. Wor
LenKa [72]

Given:

The given sets are:

Set a : 200, 104, 100, 160.

Set b: 270, 400, 483, 300, x.

Mean of set a: mean of set b= 3:8

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

Formula for mean:

Mean=\dfrac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Number of observation}}

The mean of set of a is:

Mean=\dfrac{200+104+100+160}{4}

Mean=\dfrac{564}{4}

Mean=141

The mean of set of b is:

Mean=\dfrac{270+400+483+300+x}{5}

Mean=\dfrac{1453+x}{5}

Mean=\dfrac{1453+x}{5}

It is given that,

Mean of set a: mean of set b= 3:8

\dfrac{141}{\dfrac{1453+x}{5}}=\dfrac{3}{8}

\dfrac{705}{1453+x}=\dfrac{3}{8}

8\times 705=3\times (1453+x)

5640=4359&#10;+3x

Isolate the variable x.

5640-4359&#10;=3x

1281&#10;=3x

Divide both sides by 3.

\dfrac{1281}{3}&#10;=x

427&#10;=x

Therefore, the value of x is 427.
