Eleanor and Max used two Rectangular wooden boards to make a set for the school play one board was 6 feet long,And other was 5 1

/2 feet long the two boards had equal widths. The total area of the set was 60 3/8 square feet. what is the width

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.

A roll of steel is manufactured on a processing line. The anticipated number of defects in a 10-foot segment of this roll is two
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

the probability of no defects in 10 feet of steel = 0.1353

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven that:

A roll of steel is manufactured on a processing line. The anticipated number of defects in a 10-foot segment of this roll is two.

Let consider β to be the average value for defecting

So;

β = 2

Assuming Y to be the random variable which signifies the anticipated number of defects in a 10-foot segment of this roll.

Thus, y follows a poisson distribution as number of defect is infinite with the average value of β = 2

i.e

Y \sim P( \beta = 2)

the probability mass function can be represented as follows:

\mathtt{P(y) = \dfrac{e^{- \beta} \ \beta^ \ y}{y!}}

where;

y =  0,1,2,3 ...

Hence,  the probability of no defects in 10 feet of steel

y = 0

\mathtt{P(y =0) = \dfrac{e^{- 2} \ 2^ \ 0}{0!}}

\mathtt{P(y =0) = \dfrac{0.1353  \times 1}{1}}

P(y =0) = 0.1353

The sum of four consecutive integers is 166. Find the largest of the numbers if the smallest is z.
hjlf
4 consecutive integers...z, z + 1, z + 2, z + 3

z + (z + 1) + (z + 2) + (z + 3) = 166...combine like terms
4z + 6 = 166
4z = 166 - 6
4z = 160
z = 160/4
z = 40

z + 1 = 40 + 1 = 41
z + 2 = 40 + 2 = 42
z + 3 = 40 + 3 = 43

so ur numbers are : 40,41,42,43 with the largest being 43
