The length of a swimming pool is 20 1/4 yards. The area of the pool's surface is 256 1/2 square yards. Jeremy is trying to find

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: The swimming pool is not a square. This is because if you find the square root of the given area, it will not give you the given length. So the swimming pool has length and width of different dimensions. It is a rectangle. The formula for the area of a rectangle is expressed as Length × width.

The length of the swimming is given as 20 1/4 yards = 20.25

The area of the swimming is given as 256 1/2 square yards = 256.5 square yards

Width of the pool is area/length

= 256.5/20.25 = 12.67 yards

So he is wrong. The width is not 3/38 yard.

A company manufactures televisions. The average weight of the televisions is 5 pounds with a standard deviation of 0.1 pound. As
Semenov [28]

Answer:

0.2564\text{ pounds}

Step-by-step explanation:

The 90th percentile of a normally distributed curve occurs at 1.282 standard deviations. Similarly, the 10th percentile of a normally distributed curve occurs at -1.282 standard deviations.

To find the X percentile for the television weights, use the formula:

X=\mu +k\sigma, where \mu is the average of the set, k is some constant relevant to the percentile you're finding, and \sigma is one standard deviation.

As I mentioned previously, 90th percentile occurs at 1.282 standard deviations. The average of the set and one standard deviation is already given. Substitute \mu=5, k=1.282, and \sigma=0.1:

X=5+(1.282)(0.1)=5.1282

Therefore, the 90th percentile weight is 5.1282 pounds.

Repeat the process for calculating the 10th percentile weight:

X=5+(-1.282)(0.1)=4.8718

The difference between these two weights is 5.1282-4.8718=\boxed{0.2564\text{ pounds}}.

Tyler went to the supermarket to buy food for a food pantry. He has $36, and can carry up to 20 pounds of food in his backpack.
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

  • solutions: (2, 10), (4, 5)
  • non-solutions: all other points

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be useful to graph the inequalities related to Tyler's limits of money and weight.

  1x +3y ≤ 36 . . . . . . the limit on the cost of the items Tyler can afford

  1x +1.5y ≤ 20 . . . . . the limit on the weight of the items Tyler can carry

Then plotting the given points shows that only (2, 10) and (4, 5) are in the doubly-shaded area that is the solution space. The other points are not a solution.

Beveragesat the Store2,000milliliters ofsoda2.5 liters ofapple juice1,500milliliters offruit punch2 liters oflemonade2. Mandy wa
sesenic [268]
Explanation:

The number of Beverages present at the store ;

Soda = 2000ml = 2L

Apple Juice = 2.5L

Fruit Punch = 1.5L

Lemonade = 2L

Now, we have to buy exactly 10 liters but it should be at least one container of each beverage.

Soda + Apple juice + Fruit Punch + Lemonade = 8L

So we need 2 L more.

The only way of doing this is by either having 2 containers of soda or 2 containers of lemonade.

We can conclude that the correct answer is:

Answer:The combination of beverages she can purchase is:Soda = 2 containerApple juice = 1 containerFruit punch= 1 containerLemonade = 1 container

It takes a wheel 200 feet to complete 12 revolutions. Find the length of an arc of the wheel to the nearest hundredth created by
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

  2.65 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Each revolution corresponds to a central angle of 2π radians, so 12 revolutions represent an arc of 24π radians. That means the arc length of 1 radian is ...

  (1 rad)(200 ft)/(24π rad) ≈ 2.65 ft

The length of the arc with a central angle of 1 rad is about 2.65 feet.

What is the intermediate step in the form (x + a)^2 = b as a result in completing the square for the following equation?
lions [1.4K]

For this case we have the following expression:

We follow the steps below:

We subtract 4x on both sides of the equation:

We subtract 10 from both sides of the equation:

Now, we must complete squares.

When we have an equation of the form:

, if we want to complete squares we must subtract c on both sides of the equation obtaining:

The square is completed by adding to both sides of the equation:  

So, we have left:

In the given expression we have:

And to complete the square we have:

Rewriting we have:

We factor the left side of the equation, that is, we look for two numbers that when added together result in -8 and when multiplied as a result 16. We have:

So, we have:

Answer:

The intermediate step is to complete squares
