Answer:

Given:

Elevation of city A = -96 ft (below sea level)

Elevation of city C = -24 ft (below sea level)

Let x =  elevation of city D.

Part A.

Because the elevation of city D is 1/4 of the elevation of city C, therefore

x = (1/4)*(-24)

Part B.

Because 24/4 = 6, therefore

x  = -6 ft.

Answer:

The elevation of city D is 6 feet below sea level.

The answer is negative because the elevation is below sea level.

We shall use a negative sign for an elevation below sea level, and a positive sign for an elevation above sea level.

Given:
Elevation of city A = -96 ft (below sea level)
Elevation of city C = -24 ft (below sea level)

Let x =  elevation of city D.

Part A.
Because the elevation of city D is 1/4 of the elevation of city C, therefore
x = (1/4)*(-24)

Part B.
Because 24/4 = 6, therefore
x  = -6 ft.

Answer:
The elevation of city D is 6 feet below sea level.
The answer is negative because the elevation is below sea level.

Please explain the misleading

There are more compact cars (4*10 = 40) compared to trucks (2*10 = 20); however, the pictogram might make it appear that there are more trucks because the individual truck icon is larger compared to an individual compact car icon.

To anyone giving this image a quick glance, they may erroneously conclude that there are more trucks since their eye would notice the trucks first. Also, the person might think there are more trucks because bigger sizes tend to correspond to more proportion.

In real life, a truck is larger than a compact car, but the icons need to be the same size to have the figure not be misleading.

A very similar issue happens with the mid-size cars vs the compact cars as well. The three mid-size car icons span the same total width as the compact cars do, indicating that a reader might mistakenly conclude that there are the same number of mid-size cars compared to compact ones (when that's not true either).

Jose unlocks his cellphone by placing his right thumb on a square of 1 centimeter by 1 centimeter at the center of the screen. U
babunello [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this question using proportion

Perimeter of the square/Time is takes to unlock

We are told in the question that:

The cellphone unlocks when the perimeter reaches 32 centimeters, taking a total of 2.5 seconds.

Hence, the perimeter of the square after 1.5 seconds is:.x = unknown

32/2.5 = x/1.5

Cross Multiply

2.5x = 32 × 1.5

x = 32 × 1.5/2.5

x = 19.2 centimeters

How to solve for probability
kirill [66]
Solution: The sum of probabilities of all the sample points must equal 1. And the probability of getting a head is equal to the probability of getting a tail. Therefore, the probability of each sample point (heads or tails) must be equal to 1/2. Let's repeat the experiment of Example 1, with a die instead of a coin.
