I'll do problem 1 to get you started.
The vertical sides are 3 and x for the left and right figures.
The horizontal sides are 15 and 60 for the left and right figures.
The corresponding sides form fractions which are equal (due to the nature of the similar polygons)
3/x = 15/60
3*60 = x*15 ... cross multiply
180 = 15x
15x = 180
x = 180/15 .... divide both sides by 15
x = 12
----------
Another way you can see this is note how the jump from 15 to 60 is "times 4", so the jump from 3 to x must also be "times 4" to keep the same proportion
3 ---> x = 3*4 = 12
Or you could set up the proportion
60/15 = x/3
4 = x/3
x/3 = 4
x = 3*4
x = 12
-----------
<h3>Final Answer: 12</h3>
Answer:
30 oranges
Step-by-step explanation:
2 apples : 5 oranges
12 apples : 30 oranges
because 12 apples is 6 times the original ratio, so we multiply the 5 oranges by 6 too.
Answer:
sure
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: in 95% of races, his finishing time will be between 62 and 64 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
The empirical rule states that for a normal distribution, nearly all of the data will fall within three standard deviations of the mean . The empirical rule is further illustrated below
68% of data falls within the first standard deviation from the mean.
95% fall within two standard deviations.
99.7% fall within three standard deviations.
From the information given, the mean is 63 seconds and the standard deviation is 5 seconds.
2 standard deviations = 2 × 0.5 = 1
63 - 1 = 62 seconds
63 + 1 = 64 seconds
Therefore, in 95% of races, his finishing time will be between 62 and 64 seconds.
