Answer:

  • father: 36
  • son: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the son's age now. Then s+32 is the father's age. In 4 years, we have ...

  5(s+4) = (s+32)+4

  5s +20 = s +36 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  4s = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract s+20

  s = 4

The son is now 4 years old; the father, 36.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

In 4 years, the ratio of ages is ...

  father : son = 5 : 1

The difference of their ages at that time is 5-1 = 4 "ratio units". Since the difference in ages is 32 years, each ratio unit must stand for 32/4 = 8 years. That is, the future age ratio is ...

  father : son = 40 : 8

So, now (4 years earlier), the ages must be ...

  father: 36; son: 4.

Given:

Width of rectangular prism = 20 ft

height of rectangular prism = 12 ft

Length of rectangular prism = 45 ft

Cylindrical diameter = 20 ft

To find:

Volume of the tent

Solution:

Volume of the rectangular prism = length × width × height

                                                       = 45 × 20 × 12

Volume of the rectangular prism = 10800 ft³

Radius of cylinder = 20 ÷ 2 = 10 ft

Height of cylinder = length of rectangular prism

Volume of cylinder = \pi r^{2} h

Volume of half cylinder = \frac{1}{2} \pi r^2h

                                      $=\frac{1}{2} \times 3.142\times 10^2 \times45

Volume of half cylinder = 7069.5 ft³

Volume of tent = volume of rectangular prism + volume of half cylinder

                         = 10800 ft³ + 7069.5 ft³

                         = 17869.5 ft³

                         = 17869 ft³ (nearest cubic foot)

The volume of the tent is 17869 cubic feet.

For a biology project, you measure the weight in grams and the tail length in millimeters of a group of mice. The correlation is
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that for a biology project, you measure the weight in grams and the tail length in millimeters of a group of mice.

The correlation is r = 0.9

If you had measured tail length in centimeters instead of millimeters, what would be the correlation?

For this we must understand the meaning of correlation and formula

Correlation is a measure of linear association between the two variables and always lie between -1 and 1

This is got by dividing covariance of (x,y) by product of std deviation of x and y

So because we changed the units of length correlation coefficient would not change.

It would remain the same as 0.90

Algebra II Help??? Subtracting Fractions<br><br> (2x)/(y^2-x^2) - (x)/(y-x)
denis23 [38]
Make bottom number same

ok, so remember
(a-b)(a+b)=a²+b²
so

to get from (y-x) to (y²-x²), multiply 2nd fraction by (y+x)

so multiply 2nd fraction by (y+x)/(y+x)
\frac{2x}{y^2-x^2}- \frac{(y+x)(x)}{y^2-x^2}=
\frac{2x-x(x+y)}{y^2-x^2}=
\frac{2x-x^2-xy}{y^2-x^2}
