Answer:

The total distance around the garden is 96 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a rectangular garden which is 30 feet by 6 yards.

In order to solve this problem, first we have get our units right. We decide to work with feet.

1 yard = 3 feet.

Therefore,

6 yard = 18 feet.

Thus, in feet we have a rectangular garden which is 30 feet by 18 feet.

Therefore the total distance around the garden—i.e its perimeter—is:

Natali [406]

Answer: The proportion that will qualify is 0.0314 or 3.14%.

First, we need to find the z-score of a time of 128 seconds. To do this, we find the difference of the mean and score and divide by the standard deviation.

(128 - 141) / 7 = -1.86

Now, use a standard normal distribution table to determine the percent below a z-score of -1.86. That value is 0.0314 or 3.14%.

Answer:

There would need to be at least 1,800 entries in order for them to meet their goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, we must write an equation that helps solve it. We know that for every entry (x), we gain 75 and lose 25. We can express this as the following.

75x - 25x

Then we can add the number of donations.

75x - 25x + 10,000

Then we can set it as greater than or equal to the goal number.

75x - 25x + 10,000 ≥ 100,000

Now we solve this using the order of operations.

75x - 25x + 10,000 ≥ 100,000 ----> Combine like terms

50x + 10,000 ≥ 100,000 ------> Subtract 10,000

50x ≥ 90,000 -----> Divide by 50

x ≥ 1,800
