Answer:

Length of the blue whale estimation: 108 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that each scuba diver is 6 ft long, then the length of the blue whale is: 18 x 6 ft

This multiplication can be done using compensation as follows:

first, substitute 18 by 20:  20 x 6 = 120

then, adjust subtracting 6 groups of 2, or 12: 120 - 12 = 108

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

a. 208.5 ft.

b. 144.9 ft.

Both correct to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) sin 46 = 150 / h where h is the length of the wire.

h = 150/ sin 46

= 208.5 ft.

(b) tan 46 = 150 / x where x is the distance required.

x = 150 / tan 46

x = 144.9 ft.

A machine produces defective parts with three different probabilities depending on its state of repair. If the machine is in goo
Zina [86]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a machine produces defective parts with three different probabilities depending on its state of repair.

condition             Good order         Wearing down               Needs main   Total

Prob                       0.8                            0.1                                   0.1              1

Defective               0.02                          0.1                                   0.3

Joint prob              0.016                         0.01                                0.03        0.056

a) 0.016

b) total = 0.056

c) If not defective from needs maintenance

Prob for not defective = 0.8*0.98+0.1*0.9+0.1*0.7\\=0.784+0.09+0.07\\=0.944

From machine that needs maintenance = 0.07

So reqd prob = \frac{0.07}{0.944} \\=0.0741

Simplify the square root of 32/5
elixir [45]
Remember \sqrt{ \frac{x}{y} } = \frac{ \sqrt{x} }{ \sqrt{y} }
and
\sqrt{ab^2} =b \sqrt{a}
\sqrt{ \frac{32}{5} } = \frac{ \sqrt{(4^2)(2)} }{ \sqrt{5} } = \frac{ 4\sqrt{2} }{ \sqrt{5} }
times whoe thing by \frac{ \sqrt{5} }{ \sqrt{5} }
\frac{4 \sqrt{10} }{5}

Weiming, Joyce and Siti divide cookies to sell in a ratio of 5: 12: 9. After Weiming sold 28 cookies, the ratio becomes 1: 8: 6.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

216 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Let the total cookies in the first place be x cookies.

Their ratio = 5:12:9

Total  = 5+12+9 = 26.

Weiming share = (5/26)x = 5x/26

If weiming sold 28 cookies

⇒ (5x/26)-28

⇒ (5x-728)/28

Hence Weiming new share = (5x-728)/28 cookies

The new ratio is 1:8:6

The total cookies becomes = x-28

Therefore,

(1/15)(x-28) = (5x-728)/28

(x-28)/15 = (5x-728)/28

Crossmultiply

28(x-28) = 15(5x-728)

28x-784 = 75x-10920

Collect like terms

28x-75x = -10920+784

-47x = -10136

x = -10136/-47

x = 215.7

x ≈ 216 cookies
