It would be: 15/4 = 3 3/4
In short, Your Answer would be 3 3/4
Hope this helps!

This is an area problem. The key words are 120 square feet and 12 feet longer.
And of course width is a key word when you are reading this.
Formula
Area = L * W
Givens
W = W
L = W + 12
Substitute and Solve
Area = L* W
120 = W*(W + 12)
W^2 + 12W = 120 square feet
w^2 + 12w - 120 = 0
This does not factor easily. I would have thought that a graph might help but not if the dimension has to be to the nearest 1/100 of a foot. The only thing we can do is use the quadratic formula.
a = 1
b = 12
c = - 120
w = [ -b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac) ]/(2a)
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(12^2 - 4*(1)(-120)] / 2*1
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(144 - (-480)]/2
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(624)] / 2
w = [- 12 +/- 24.979992] / 2 The minus root has no meaning whatever.
w = (12.979992) / 2
w = 6.489995 I'll round all this when I get done
L = w + 12
L = 6.489995 + 12
L = 18.489995
check
Area = L * W
Area = 6.489995*18.489995
Area = 119.999935 The difference is a rounding error
Answer
L = 18.489995 = 18.49 feet
W = 6.489995 = 6.49 feet
Note: in the check if you round first to the answer, LW = 120.0001 when you find the area for the check. Kind of strange how that nearest 1/100th makes a difference.
Answer:
blue
Step-by-step explanation:
Its blue because if purple has 2 and blue has 1 then its blue which you are most likely to pick purple then blue
Answer:
- <u>0.25</u>
- <u>0.85</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
P (Triangle or Square) :
- Area of Triangle + Area of Square / Area of Rectangle
- 1/2 x 3 x 4 (height is found by Pythagorean Theorem) + (3)² / 10 x 6
- 6 + 9 / 60
- 15/60
- <u>0.25</u>
<u></u>
P (Not the square) :
- Area of rectangle - Area of square / Area of rectangle
- 60 - 9 / 60
- 51/60
- 17/20
- <u>0.85</u>
Answer:
0.818
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the shipment has a ton of aspirin tablets, we can assume that we pick 13 of them <em>with</em> <em>reposition, </em>because the probability shoudn't change dramatically from the probability of picking without reposition if we do so.
We call D the amount of defective tablets. If we assume that we pick the tablets with reposition, then we obtain that D is a random variable of Binomial distribution with parameters 13 and 0.6 (the probability of picking a defective tablet).
We want D to be at most one. To calculate the probability of that event we add up the probability of D being equal to 0 and the probability of D being equal to one. Since D is binomial, we have
We conclude that
Hence, the shipment will be accepted with probability 0.818
