Answer:

5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

If the perimeter of the rectangle on the right is 24 m, and the length is 8, the width has to be 4, since 8+4+8+4=24. Since the scale factor is 24÷30=0.8 or 4/5, and the width of the rectangle on the right is 4, 4÷0.8=5, which is the width of the rectangle on the left.

Hope this helps! (P.S. I got it right on Edgenutiy, spelled wrong on purpose).

I don't know how to solve this. How would I solve this? Thanks!!!!
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

x = 11 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle = (base + base 2) * h *1/2

so (7 + x )* 7 * 1/2 = 63

63 x 2 = 126

126 / 7 = 18

18-7 = x

x = 11

Check

(7+11)* 7 * 1/2

18* 7 = 126

126 x 0.5 = 63

CORRECT!

(p.s., tell me if wrong :P)

How can credit cards be safer than cash? a. It is harder to lose a single credit card than a large number of bills. b. A credit
konstantin123 [22]

Answer: Due to its anonymous nature, if you lose your cash, it's gone. Payment cards can be cancelled and replaced swiftly and remotely. Whilst cash may offer you complete anonymity from data thieves, EMV chip enabled cards offer a more thorough form of payment authentication, providing an extra layer of payment security

So, therefore, C.

a bag contains 10 white gold balls and 6 striped golf balls. a golfer wants to add 112 golf balls to the bag. he wants the ratio
wolverine [178]

Answer:70 white golf balls and 42 striped golf balls

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the ratio of white to striped balls

White golf balls = 10

Striped golf balls = 6

Ratio = 10/6 = 5/3

We are told a golfer wants to add extra 112 balls to the already 16 balls

And the ratio after adding 112 balls must stay the same

First we label the extra golf balls to be added x and y

x = white golf balls

y = striped golf balls

So since we know the 112 balls added is a combination of the extra white golf balls and striped golf balls, we create an equation for that, labelling it (1)

x + y = 112 (1)

And we are told that after putting these extra balls the ratio must remain the same, which is 5/3

which will be (10 white balls + x) divided by (6 striped ball + y) will be equals to 5/3

So we create another equation for this, labelling it (2)

(10+x)/(6+y) = 5/3 (2)

So we have two simultaneous equations

We pick (1)

x + y = 112

We either make x or y the subject of formula, I choose to make x the subject of formula, we label the equation (3)

take y to the other side, causing it to change to -y

x = 112 - y (3)

We then work with (2)

(10+x)/(6+y) = 5/3

We cross multiply

3(10+x) = 5(6+y)

We open the brackets

Making the equation simplified and labelling it (4)

30 +3x = 30 + 5y

Collect like terms

3x -5y = 30-30

3x -5y = 0 (4)

Remember from (3) we know that

x = 112 -y

So we put (3) in (4)

3(112 - y) - 5y = 0

Open bracket

336 -3y -5y =0

336 -8y = 0

Transfer -8y to the other side, changing to +8y

336 = 8y

Divide both sides by 8

336/8 = y

42 = y

y = 42

from (3) we know that x equals 112 - y

So we put y = 42 in (3)

x = 112 - y

x = 112 -42 = 70

x = 70

So therefore number of white golfs balls and striped golfs balls to be added to keep the same ratio is 70 and 42 respectively

If you were to use the substitution method to solve the following system, choose the new equation after the expression equivalen
Alisiya [41]
The answer is <span>2(–4y + 13) – 3y = –29

Step 1: Express </span><span>x from the second equation
Step 2: Substitute x into the first equation:

The system of equations is:
</span><span>2x – 3y = –29 
x + 4y = 13

Step 1: 
</span>The second equation is:    x + 4y = 13
Rearrange it to get x:         x = - 4y + 13

Step 2:
The first equation is:          2x – 3y = –29 
The second equation is:    x = - 4y + 13
Substitute x from the second equation into the first one:
2(-4y + 13) - 3y = -29

Therefore, the second choice is correct.

About 9% of the population has a particular genetic mutation. 900 people are randomly selected. Find the standard deviation for
timama [110]

Answer:

The standard deviation is of 8.586.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have a genetic mutation, or they do not. The probability of a person having the mutation is independent of any other person, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

About 9% of the population has a particular genetic mutation.

This means that p = 0.09

900 people are randomly selected.

This means that n = 900

Find the standard deviation for the number of people with the genetic mutation in such groups of 900.

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{900*0.09*0.91} = 8.586

The standard deviation is of 8.586.
