Assume the sum is 100. The ratio of the two numbers is 15:10. This means that we can divide this indow 15+10, or 25 parts. Let us do that. Divide 100 into 25 parts and see how much is in each part. 100/25 is 4, meaning that there is 4 in each part. 15 parts will have 15*4, or 60. 10 parts will have 10*4, or 40. To confirm, add 40 and 60. It matches with what we started out with, 100. 


The two numbers, assuming the sum is 100, are 40 and 60. 60 is the greater value.

A polygon has the following coordinates: A(3,1), B(5,3), C(2,5), D(-1,5), E(-4,3), F(-2,1). Find the length of DC.
nlexa [21]

To find the length of a line given two points, we are going to use the distance formula, which is defined below:

D = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}

((x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) are the two points)


The points in this problem are (2, 5) and (-1, 5). We can find the distance of DC by substituting these values into the distance formula and simplifying, as shown below:

D = \sqrt{(-1 - 2)^2 + (5 - 5)^2

  • Substitute values into formula

D = \sqrt{(-3)^2}

  • Combine like terms and then simplify 0^2 to 0

D = \sqrt{9}

  • Compute (-3)^2 = 9

D = 3

  • Compute \sqrt{9} = 3

The length of DC is 3.

Gallup conducted a survey from April 1 to 25, 2010, to determine the congressional vote preference of the American voters.15 The
Lisa [10]

Answer:

p ( x > 2746 ) = p ( z > - 1.4552 )

                      = 1 - 0.072806

                      = 0.9272

This shows that there is > 92% of a republican candidate winning the election hence I will advice Gallup to declare the Republican candidate winner

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

51% of male voters preferred a Republican candidate

sample size = 5490

To win the vote one needs ≈ 2746 votes

In order to advice Gallup appropriately lets consider this as a binomial distribution

n = 5490

p = 0.51

q = 1 - 0.51 = 0.49

Hence n_{p} > 5  while n_{q}  < 5

we will consider it as a normal distribution

From the question :

number of male voters who prefer republican candidate  ( mean ) ( u )

= 0.51 * 5490 = 2799.9

std = \sqrt{npq} = \sqrt{5490 * 0.51 *0.49} = 37.0399  ---- ( 1 )

determine the Z-score = (x - u ) / std  ---- ( 2 )

x = 2746 , u = 2799.9 , std = 37.0399

hence Z - score = - 1.4552

hence

p ( x > 2746 ) = p ( z > - 1.4552 )

                      = 1 - 0.072806

                      = 0.9272

This shows that there is > 92% of a republican candidate winning the election hence I will advice Gallup to declare the Republican candidate winner

Solve for x. 12x+252=324
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

12x+252=324

Subtract 252 from each side

12x+252-252=324-252

12x =72

Divide each side by 12

12x/12 = 72/12

x =6

Pls help easy points question On the photo
Morgarella [4.7K]
A) tomatoes : chicken broth = 9:15 or 3:5
Tomatoes : spinach = 9:9 = 1:1
Spinach : chicken broth = 9:15 = 3:5

b) tomatoes : chicken broth = 4.5:7.5 = still 3:5
Tomatoes to spinach is still 1:1
Spinach : chicken broth 4.5:7.5 still = 3:5

Dividing all quantities by 2 doesn’t change the ratio.
