The model of the Petronas towers is 4.7 inches taller than the model of the Empire State Building

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • José made a scale model to compare the Petronas towers, which are 1483 feet tall, to the Empire State Building, which is 1250 feet tall
  • In the model, the empire state building is 25 inches tall

We need to find how much taller than the model of the empire state building is the model of the Petronas towers

∵ The model of the empire state building is 25 inches tall

∵ The Empire State Building is 1250 feet tall

- Let us find the scale drawing

→  inches  :  feet

→  25         :  1250

Divide both sides of ratio by 25

→  1             :  50

That means each 1 inch in the model represents 50 feet in real

∴ The scale drawing is 1 inch : 50 feet

Use this scale to find the model length of Petronas towers

→  inches  :  feet

→  1            :  50

→  x            :  1483

By using cross multiplication

∴ x × 50 = 1 × 1483

∴ 50 x = 1483

- Divide both sides by 50

∴ x = 29.66

∵ x represents the length of Petronas towers model

∴ Petronas towers model is 29.66 inches tall

Now find the difference between the lengths of the two models

∵ The difference = 29.66 - 25 = 4.66 inches

- Round it to the nearest 0.1 inch

∴ The model of Petronas towers is 4.7 inches taller than the

   model of the Empire State Building

The model of the Petronas towers is 4.7 inches taller than the model of the Empire State Building

Evaluate 3 to the 2nd power + (6 - 2) x 4- 6 over 3
exis [7]

Answer:

19/3 or 6.33 continuing

Step-by-step explanation:

using pemdas, do the exponent first

6-2=4

then multiply by 4

4x4 is 16

add 3^2 to this, which = 9

so 16+9-6 is on top which equals 19, this is over 3

so 19/3

Why does multiplying by 10 shift each digit one place to the left?
Leto [7]

as we move down the list as we push the *digits* to the *left*through the decimal *point* *each* *number has been 10*. and so we can easily *multiply* or divide by *a* power of *10* because of our system of positional numeration. Each Place belongs to the next power of *10*.

Which relationship has a zero slope
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The first table.

Step-by-step explanation:

A slope of 0 means that as x increases, y stays the same.  In the first table, all of our y-values are 2; this means that y stays constant.  

To prove it, we use our formula for slope:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

The slope of the line between the first two points is

(2-2)/(-3--1) = 0/-2 = 0

The slope of the line between the second pair of points is

(2-2)/(-1-1) = 0/-2 = 0

The slope of the line between the next pair of points is

(2-2)/(1-3) = 0/-2 = 0

Since the slope between each pair of points is 0, the slope of the entire line is 0.

An electronic product contains 48 integrated circuits. The probability that any integrated circuit is defective is 0.01, and the
BigorU [14]

Answer:

0.6173 = 61.73% probability that the product operates.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each integrated circuit, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are defective, or they are not. The integrated circuits are independent. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

An electronic product contains 48 integrated circuits.

This means that n = 48

The probability that any integrated circuit is defective is 0.01.

This means that p = 0.01

The product operates only if there are no defective integrated circuits. What is the probability that the product operates?

This is P(X = 0). So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{48,0}.(0.01)^{0}.(0.99)^{48} = 0.6173

0.6173 = 61.73% probability that the product operates.
