Let F be the father's age, let S be the son's age
when: F = 60,
S = F/2 = 60/2 = 30

this means S = F-30

this means:
F/4 = F -30
F = 4F - 120
-3F = -120
F = 40

If the boy was 4 times less his father's age,
at this instance:
S = 40/4 = 10

therefore the son was 10 years old, the father was 40

Let f be the fathers age and let s be the sons age

f = 60 s = 30
when f = 45
s = 15 which is only a third if his fathers age

when f = 40
s = 10 which is a quarter of his fathers age

therefore when his father was 4 times his age, the son was 10

Jack wants to fill a rectangular box with sand. The length of the sand box is 3 feet, width is 6 inches, and height is 2.4 inche
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
Jack would need to buy 2 bags of sand.
To find the answer you first have to find the volume of the rectangular box which can be found using the formula length times width times height (remember that the numbers have to have the same unit so it would look like 3 times .5 times .2 if you convert them all the feet). the volume of the box is equal to .3
Then you could set the volume of the box equal to .15x to find how many boxes he would need. The formula would be .15x=.3
Divide by .15 to get x alone and you get 2 for the answer.

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Lower limit = 1007.95 cm/s

Upper limit = 1142.05 cm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a 95% CI with population's standard deviation known.

The sample is size n=60, with mean M=1075.

The confidence interval can be expressed as:

M-z*\sigma/\sqrt{n} \leq\mu\leq M+z*\sigma/\sqrt{n}

For a 95% CI, the value of z=1.96.

1075-1.96*265/\sqrt{60} \leq\mu\leq 1075+1.96*265/\sqrt{60} \\\\1075-67.05 \leq\mu\leq 1075+67.05\\\\ 1007.95 \leq\mu\leq 1142.05

I'm stuck on algebra.
Rainbow [258]
Point slope form : y-y1 = m(x-x1)
slope intercept form : m=(y-y1)/(x-x1)
standard form : Ax + By = C

just pick any random points on a graph and plug the same points into all three forms.
