Answer:

The difference in the lengths of the two alligators = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let us make the lengths improper fractions, then we will find the difference from there.

Alligator 1:

Length = 14\frac{5}{12} = \frac{173}{12}

To convert to improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number, and then add the denominator [(12 × 14) + 5]

Alligator 2:

Length = 17\frac{5}{12} = \frac{209}{12}

Now Let us find the difference between the lengths:

\frac{209}{12} - \frac{173}{12} = \frac{36}{12} =3

Therefore the difference in the lengths of the two alligators = 3

Out of 600 seniors at a local high school, 60% went on the senior trip. At the hotel, one room was reserved for every 4 students
butalik [34]

Given:

Total number of senior students = 600

60% went on the senior trip.

One room was reserved for every 4 students.

To find:

The total number of reserved rooms.

Solution:

60% went on the senior trip from total 600 students. So, number of students who went on tripe is

600\times \dfrac{60}{100}=360

Now, one room was reserved for every 4 students. So,

\text{Required number of rooms}=\dfrac{\text{Number of students who went on tripe}}{\text{Number of students in room}}

\text{Required number of rooms}=\dfrac{360}{4}

\text{Required number of rooms}=90

Therefore, the required number of reserved rooms were 90.

You want to estimate the number of students in a junior high school who ride the school bus. which sample is unbiased?​
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Option B - 90 students at random during lunch

Step-by-step

An unbiased sample is defined as:

A sample is an unbiased sample if every individual or the element in the population has an equal chance of being selected.

Based on this, we can eliminate:

Option A) - It prevents non-eighth-graders of the school from being represented.

Option C) - Students in a hallway might take a particular class together/may be of the same grade. This gives them an unfair advantage.

Option D) - All students who are not in chorus are not represented in this set.

Billy has x marbles. Write an
babymother [125]

Answer:

Charlie = 5 + x

Danny = x - 8

Eric = 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Billy's Marble = x

Required

Determine a,b and c

a. Charlie's Marble

"5 more" means 5 + or + 5

Since Billy's Marble is represented with x, then Charlie's Marbles will be

Charlie = 5 + x

b. Danny's Marbles

Having "8 fewer" means we have to subtract 8 from Billy's marble;

Since Billy's Marble is represented with x, then Danny's Marbles will be

Danny = x - 8

c. Eric Marbles

Having "three times as " means we have to multiply Bill's marble by 3;

Since Billy's Marble is represented with x, then Danny's Marbles will be

Eric = 3 * x

Eric = 3x
