One way in which to approach this problem would be to treat it as an equation of ratios and to cross multiply:

<span>[(4x + 15) / 5x)] = 1/2  could be written as:

4x + 15        1
----------- =  ---
     5x           2

Then 8x + 30 = 5x

3x = -30,  and so     x = -10 (answer).  Be certain to check this answer through substitution!

3 feet 8 inches converted to inches is 3x12+8=44inches

44inches times 4 pieces is 176 inches.

176 inches converted back to feet and inches is 176/12=14 feet 8 inches so he would need 15 feet of board

An elementary school class ran 1 mile in an average of 11 minutes with a standard deviation of 3 minutes. Rachel, a student in t
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Rachel

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to measure how far (towards the left) are the students from the mean in<em> “standard deviations units”</em>.  

That is to say, if t is the time the student ran the mile and s is the standard deviation of the class, we must find an x such that

mean - x*s = t

For Rachel we have

11 - x*3 = 8, so x = 1.  

Rachel is <em>1 standard deviation far (to the left) from the mean</em> of her class

For Kenji we have

9 - x*2 = 8.5, so x = 0.25

Kenji is <em>0.25 standard deviations far (to the left) from the mean</em> of his class

For Nedda we have

7 - x*4 = 8, so x = 0.25

Nedda is also 0.25 standard deviations far (to the left) from the mean of his class.

As Rachel is the farthest from the mean of her class in term of standard deviations, Rachel is the fastest runner with respect to her class.
