Let x = the number

Let c = the factor

You want

√(cx) = 2√x

Solve for c:

cx = 4x

c = 4

You need to multiply by 4 to double the square root. Have a great day!!

Augie burns 225 calories per 30 minutes of bicycling How many minutes would Augie have to bike to burn 150 calories

lianna [129]

Well first 225/30 is 7.5 so you times 7.5 by any number till you get 150, which the answer is 20 minutes to burn 150 calories

work:
223/30 = 7.5
7.5 * 20 = 150

imagine you live only one mile from work and you decide to walk. if you walk four miles per hour, how long will it take you to w

fiasKO [112]

Answer:the distance to work is 1 mile and you can walk at 4 miles per hour, then you can walk 1 mile in ¼ hr = 15 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Dylan,

If the distance to work is 1 mile and you can walk at 4 miles per hour, then you can walk 1 mile in ¼ hr = 15 minutes.

To set up the "equation" think about it this way: (1 mile/ t) = (4 mile/ 1 hr)

so 1/t = 4/1 hr

now multiply both sides by t to get 1 = t·(4/1 hr), next divide both sides by (4/1 hr)

t = 1/(4/ 1 hr) = 1 hr/4 = ¼ hr = 15 min.

A simple random sample of size n=14 is obtained from a population with μ=64 and σ=19.

madam [21]

Answer:

a) A. The population must be normally distributed

b) P(X < 68.2) = 0.7967

c) P(X ≥ 65.6) = 0.3745

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The population is normally distributed having a mean ( $\mu_x$ ) = 64 and a standard deviation ( $\sigma_x$ ) = $\frac{19}{\sqrt{14} }$

b) P(X < 68.2)

First me need to calculate the z score (z). This is given by the equation:

$z=\frac{x-\mu_x}{\sigma_x}$ but μ=64 and σ=19 and n=14, $\mu_x=\mu=64$ and $\sigma_x=\frac{ \sigma}{\sqrt{n} }=\frac{19}{\sqrt{14} }$

Therefore: $z=\frac{68.2-64}{\frac{19}{\sqrt{14} } }=0.83$

From z table, P(X < 68.2) = P(z < 0.83) = 0.7967

P(X < 68.2) = 0.7967

c) P(X ≥ 65.6)

First me need to calculate the z score (z). This is given by the equation:

$z=\frac{x-\mu_x}{\sigma_x}$

Therefore: $z=\frac{65.6-64}{\frac{19}{\sqrt{14} } }=0.32$

From z table, P(X ≥ 65.6) = P(z ≥ 0.32) = 1 - P(z < 0.32) = 1 - 0.6255 = 0.3745

P(X ≥ 65.6) = 0.3745

P(X < 68.2) = 0.7967

Can someone help me with question 3

djyliett [7]

2. Alana needs to sell 52 boxes of cookies:

She sold 7 boxes to her aunt

She sold 2 boxes to her mother

She sold 15 boxes to her neighbor

you add 7+2+15 = 24 boxes of cookies that she sold

We need to find out how many more boxes of cookies she needs to sell-

We take the 24 boxes she sold and subtract from 52 boxes that she needs to sell.

24 - 52 = 30

The answer is 30, she needs to sell 30 more boxes.

3. Sam, Jimmy and Andre shared a number of pennies in the ratio 8:5:3

Sam (8), Jimmy (5) and Andre (3)

How many more pennies did Jimmy receive than Andre?

you subtract 3 - 5 = 2

The answer is 2 more pennies.

4. Jamila spent $33.00 and Akiko spent $ 42.00

Jamila had 4 times as much money left as Akiko. How much money did each of them have in the beginning?

Since Akiko spent the highest amount- you will have to go with the higher amount to find the answer

4 x $42.00 = $168.00

They both in the beginning had $168.00

I hope this helps.
