Area is calculated as length times width.
A = lw
Is the area and length are known, then you can plug in their values and isolate w to find the width.
I find it easiest to convert to decimals rather than using mixed numbers.
<span>8 ¾ = 8.75 (area)
</span><span>3 ½ = 3.5 (length)
Now let's plug in the values.
8.75 = 3.5w
To isolate w, just divide both sides by 3.5.
8.75 / 3.5 = 2.5
This means w = 2.5.
So the width is 2.5 feet.
Now convert the decimal back to a mixed number.
2.5 = 2 </span>½

So the answer to this question is that the width is 2.5, or 2 ½.

Hope this helps!

A LANE IN THE MIDDLE OF A TWO-WAY ROAD THAT HAS DASHED LINES ON BOTH SIDES AND TWO LARGE CURVED ARROWS FACING EACH OTHER MAY BE
Nonamiya [84]

This lane symbol is used for marking the beginning and ending of a left turn to the drivers.

What are lane symbols?

A permitted lane usage is denoted by a lane symbol. For example, a lane marked with a diamond is one that is designated for high-occupancy cars.  A lane symbol of a bicycle marks that the lane is designated for cyclists. At crossings, arrows indicate movements that are necessary or allowed. The user of the roadway must yield when there is a row of solid triangles. Likewise, two large curved arrows facing each other on a lane in the middle of a two way road with dashed lines on either sides indicate the beginning and ending of a left turn.

A Lane symbol or marking are also utilized to warn drivers of potentially dangerous situations that may be coming up. For instance, a triangle with no filling indicates a yield ahead. A speed hump is indicated by a succession of lines across a lane that get bigger and wider.

Each of 11 refrigerators of a certain type has been returned to a distributor because of an audible, high-pitched, oscillating n
Pie

Answer:

The correct answer is 1,51%

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the probability  equally likely of the first 6 examined that have a defective compressor, we use the following formula

P=# of possibilities that meet the condition / #of equally likely possibilities.

As there are multiple events ,  and all must be achieve, we multiply the probabilities.

P1=7 / 11

P2=6 / 10

P3=5 / 9

P4=4 / 8

P5=3 / 7

P6=2 / 6

P(x)=7 / 11*6 / 10*5 / 9*4 / 8*3 / 7*2 / 6=0,01515151515

P(x)=1,51%
