You need two pieces and 1 has to be 2x longer than the other
set x as the smaller piece (easier to always go with the smaller value as x)
the other piece is 2x (double in size)
your equations would be 3x=240>>> x= 60
so smaller piece/ x= 60
bigger piece/ 2x= 120
Answer:
The option of 6 minutes with 8 tickets given more time for the money.
Step-by-step explanation:
Which one gives you more time for your money?
We have to find the time per ticket, which is the number of minutes divided by the number of tickets.
6 minutes: 8 tickets
6/8 = 0.(60/8) = 0.75 minutes per ticket.
8 minutes:12 tickets
8/12 = 2/3 = 0.(20/3) = 0.667 minutes per ticket.
So the option of 6 minutes with 8 tickets given more time for the money.
Answer:
1.) 
≈ 3.652
2.) I would say something about how the A in front of cos in the equation would change to 90, rather than stay 75 (in the equation for the step by step), but it would be easier to just use the Pythagorean theorem.
Step-by-step explanation:
I think we may have the same class so hopefully this helps:
1.) 
--> law of cosines formula.
--> plugged in numbers; when you draw the triangle, the included angle would be A, and the opposite side would be a. B and b, and C and c are opposite each other. In this case, a is the hypotenuse.
--> in between steps.
--> more simplifying.
--> answer
2.) This one is just an explanation: The 75 in the equation is the given angle, which is a. If this changes, it would just change in the equation too. And obviously, if it's 90 degrees, you can just use Pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2=c^2.
Good luck! :)
The expected completion time is μ = 40 weeks.
The random variable, X = 38 weeks (the probable time)
If the standard deviation is σ, then the z-score is z = (x - μ)/σ.
Let us test the given standard deviations.
When σ=1,
z = (38-40)/1 = -2
From standard tables,
P(x<=38) = P(z<=-2) = 0.0228 =2.3%
When σ=2,
z = (38*40)/2 = -1
P(x<=38) = P(z<=-1) = 0.1587 = 15.9%
When σ=4,
z = (38-40)/4 = -0.5
P(x<=38) = P(z<=-0.5) = 0.3085 = 30.9%
Answers:
z=1 => 2.3%
z=2 => 16% (approx)
z=4 => 31% (approx)
