The total area is the product of length and width

... total area = (length1 × width) + (length2 × width)

... = (length1 + length2) × width

... 60 3/8 = (6 + 5 1/2) × width

... (60 3/8)/(11 1/2) = width = 5 1/4 . . . . feet

The width of the boards use for the set was 5 1/4 feet.

_____

A suitable calculator can give you this answer directly. Others may ask you to convert to or from decimal feet.

___

The method conventionally taught to do division with mixed numbers is to convert them to improper fractions:

... 60 3/8 = (60·8 +3)/8 = 483/8

... 11 1/2 = (11·2 + 1)/2 = 23/2

Then, invert the denominator and multiply:

... (483/8)/(23/2) = (483/8) × (2/23) = 483/(4·23)

... = 483/92 = 5 23/92 = 5 1/4 . . . . . . . . remembering that 92 = 4·23

_____

It isn't clear whether this is a problem about areas, or a problem about mixed-number arithmetic. It is a good idea to get comfortable with arithmetic using numbers in any form: integers, decimals, mixed numbers, fractions, percents.

Determine whether the normal sampling distribution can be used. The claim is p < 0.015 and the sample size is n
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Complete Question

Determine whether the normal sampling distribution can be used. The claim is p < 0.015 and the sample size is n=150

Answer:

Normal sampling distribution can not be used

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  null hypothesis is  H_o  :  p =  0.015

     The  alternative hypothesis is    H_a  :  p  <  0.015

     

The  sample size is  n= 150

Generally in order to use  normal sampling distribution  

     The value  np  \ge  5

So  

         np =  0.015 * 150

         np =  2.25

Given that  np < 5   normal sampling distribution  can not be used

Which statement correctly describes a net?
charle [14.2K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

A) A net is a two-dimensional pattern for a solid.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

In fact, a net is a two-dimensional pattern for a solid. But what is a solid? They are three-dimensional shapes. Prisms, cubes, pyramids, among others, are examples of solids. For example, the first figure below is a net because is a two dimensional patter for a pyramid which is shown in the second figure. As you can see, the first figure is a two-dimensional patter for this three-dimensional shape. Hence, by unfolding the pyramid we get the net or, in other word, by folding the net we get the pyramid.
