9/10-1/3-1/5 find the fraction

1 answer:

3 0

Find a common multiple in between the denominators.
10 and 3 and 5 -> the least common multiple is 30.

Change all the denominators to 30 by multiplying the top and bottom by the same number.

9/10=27/30
1/3=10/30
1/5=6/30

Subtract!
27/39-10/30-6/30=11/30

The answer is 11/30

Hope this helps!

What is the area of each piece of paper that Jodi is cutting out

Reptile [31]

The simplest (and most commonly used) area calculations are for squares and rectangles. To find the areaof a rectangle multiply its height by its width. For a square you only need to find the length of one of the sides (as each side is the same length) and then multiply this by itself tofind the area.

A 500-page book contains 250 sheets of paper. The thickness of the paper used to manufacture the book has mean 0.08 mm and stand

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

10.20% probability that a randomly chosen book is more than 20.2 mm thick

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

250 sheets, each sheet has mean 0.08 mm and standard deviation 0.01 mm.

So for the book.

$\mu = 250*0.08 = 20, \sigma = \sqrt{250}*0.01 = 0.158$
