Given:
2 1/6 quarts of white
3 1/2 quarts of green
1 3/4 quarts of yellow

Add up all the fractions.
1) convert to improper fractions:
2 1/6 → (6*2) + 1 = 13/6
3 1/2 → (2*3) + 1 = 7/2
1 3/4 → (4*1) + 3 = 7/4

2) Identify LCD and multiply each fraction to reach the LCD. LCD is 12.
13/6 * 2/2 = 26/12
7/2 * 6/6 = 42/12
7/4 * 3/3 = 21/12

26/12 + 42/12 + 21/12 = (26+42+21) / 12 = 89/12 

89/12 must be converted into a mixed fraction  which will result to 7 5/12

A. Yes, the answer is reasonable.

89/12 or 7 5/12 is 7.42 in decimal form. It can be rounded down to the nearest whole number which is 7.

What is the perimeter of triangle ABC ?
blagie [28]

Answer:

9+\sqrt{41}

Step-by-step explanation:

From C-A, it goes from y=1 to y=5, so that 4 units

From A-B, it goes from x = -1 to x = 4, that is 5 units

Now, to find distance from B to C, we need to use the distance formula:

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

Where the variables are the respective points of B and C,

B (4,5) & C(-1,1)

So x_1 =4, y_1=5, x_2=-1, y_2=1

Plugging into the formula we get:

D=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}\\D=\sqrt{(1-5)^2+(-1-4)^2}\\D=\sqrt{16+25}\\ D=\sqrt{41}

Summing it all (perimeter is sum of 3 sides):

Distance = 4+5+\sqrt{41}\\ =9+\sqrt{41}

3rd answer choice is right.

Suppose that the weights of 5400 registered female Labrador retrievers in the United States are distributed normally with a mean
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

N= 4543 Labrador retrievers

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the mean \mu is:

\mu = 62.5

and the standard deviation \sigma is:

\sigma=2.5

The probability that a randomly selected Labrador retriever weighs less than 65 pounds is:

P(X

We calculate the Z-score for X =65

Z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\Z =\frac{65-62.5}{65}=1

So

P(X

Looking in the table for the standard normal distribution we have to:

P(Z.

Finally the amount N of Labrador retrievers that weigh less than 65 pounds is:

N = P(X

N = 0.8413*5400

N= 4543 Labrador retrievers
