A teacher has 100 pencils in a cup. 16 are more sharp than dull. How many are dull and how many are sharp?

1 answer:

8 0

X = dull pencils
y = sharp pencils
x + y = 100
y = x + 16 ~~Plug this back into your original x+y equation.
x+x+16=100 ==> 2x = 84 ==> x = 42. Plug this back into the y = equation
y = 42 + 16 ==> y = 58.

42 Dull, 58 sharp.

[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

a is a leg
b is another leg
c is the hypotenuse

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Leg a = 8

Leg b = 4

Hypotenuse c = x

Step 2: Solve for x

Substitute in variables [Pythagorean Theorem]: 8² + 4² = x²
Evaluate exponents: 64 + 16 = x²
Add: 80 = x²
[Equality Property] Square root both sides: √80 = x
Rewrite: x = √80
Simplify: x = 4√5

Frieda is 67 inches tall and weighs 135 pounds. women her age have a mean height of 65 inches with a standard deviation of 2.5 i

blsea [12.9K]

Frieda's weight is 1 Standard Deviation above the meanwhile her height is less than 1 Standard Deviation away from the mean. This means her height is closer to the mean than her weight.
As a result, we would say that her weight is definitely more unusual than her height because her weight is more standard deviations away from the mean.

Therefore,
in relative terms, it is correct to say that: Frieda's height is more unusual than her weight.
