X : 14= 7: 8 can someone solve this for me and explain me

Mathematics

Vanyuwa [196]3 years ago

x:14 = 7:8

x:14 = x/14

7:8 = 7/8

x/14 = 7/8

Multiply the numerator of the 1st ratio with the denominator of the 2nd.

And multiply the numerator of the 2nd ratio with the denominator of the 1st.

Doing so, we get -

x * 8 = 7 * 14

So, 8x = 7 * 14

8x = 98

We divide 98 by 8 (transposition method)

x = 98/8

Therefore, x = 12.25

Four individuals pool money together to start a new business and agree to split the profits equally. N invests $6,000, X invests
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

15,000$

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the information given, profits are divided equally into 4 parts

Since the total profit for the first month is 100,000$ each party will receive a sum of 25,000$. This means that Y also receives the same amount

Now if the profits were divided in proportion to the investments made we first find the proportion on investment made by Y.

The total investment made is 6000$ + 2000$ + 8000$ + 4000$ = 20,000$. Out of this, the amount invested by Y is 8000$

finding the proportional profit of Y

\frac{8000}{20000} (100000)

=40,000$

So Y receives 40,000 - 25,000 = 15,000 less

Let’s assume that human body temperatures are normally distributed with a mean of 98.20° F and a standard deviation of 0.62° F.
uysha [10]

Answer: It is such a small percentage of the population that would be considered to have fever at that level.

So, it is not appropriate stringent standard.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean = 98.20°F

Standard deviation = 0.62°F

If  Bellevue Hospital in New York City uses 100.6°F as the lowest temperature considered to be a fever.

So, \bar{X}=100.6^\circ F

So, using the normal distribution, we first find the value of z.

z=\dfrac{\bar{x}-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\x=\dfrac{100.6-98.2}{0.62}\\\\z=3.87

Since z = 3.87

So, p = 0.0001 =0.1%

So,It is such a small percentage of the population that would be considered to have fever at that level.

So, it is not appropriate stringent standard.
