**CORRECTION** 21/2 because when you simplify it (dividing the top and the bottom by 2) you get 21/2. My first asnwer was a mixed number

To figure this out, we need to look for how many times 4 can go into 42.

4*10=40

Later, we have a remainder of 2 because 42-40=2

We write 10 as the whole number and 2 on the numerator.

10 2/4 = 10 1/2

Final answer: 10 1/2 is the mixed number, but the improper fraction simplified is 21/2

Improper fraction: 21/2
Mixed number: 10 1/2

A claw arcade machine contains stuffed animals and mystery boxes. There are 51 items in the machine. Winning a stuffed animal ha

Oliga [24]

Answer: 34 stuffed animals & 17 mystery boxes.

First off, split 51 into three parts, trying to find how much 1/3 is of 51. It equals 17.

The stuffed animals in the machine are “twice as much” of the mystery boxes, so you need to multiply 17 x 2 to find the amount of stuffed animals.

17 x 2 = 34

As for the mystery boxes, you need to multiply it by one.

17 x 1 = 17.

In summary, the answer is 34 stuffed animals and 17 mystery boxes.

You are baking brownies for your class. There are 28 total students in your class and you have baked 23 brownies. Right and solv

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

$x = 33$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Students = 28$

$Brownies = 23$

$Brownies = 2\ per\ student$

Required

Determine the number of brownies left

If:

$Brownies = 2\ per\ student$

and there are 28 students

Then:

$Total\ Brownies = 2 * 28$

$Total\ Brownies = 56$

To determine the number of brownies left, we have:

$Total\ Brownies = Brownies\ Made + Brownies\ Left$

$56 = 23 + x$

Reorder

$x + 23 = 56$

Collect Like Terms

$x = 56 - 23$

$x = 33$

<em>Hence, there are 33 brownies left</em>

Find the length of GF

Cerrena [4.2K]

By the Pythagorean Theorem:

The square of the hypotenuse (longest side) of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the side lengths squared, or mathematically:

h^2=x^2+y^2, where x and y are the side lengths and h is the length of the hypotenuse, in this case:

9.4^2=6.8^2+GF^2

GF^2=9.4^2-6.8^2

GF^2=42.12

GF=√42.12 units

GF≈6.49 units (to nearest hundredth of a unit)

According to an almanac, 60% of adult smokers started smoking before turning 18 years old. (a) compute the mean and standard

larisa [96]

The given problem describes a binomial distribution with p = 60% = 0.6. Given that there are 400 trials, i.e. n = 400.

a.) The mean is given by:

$\mu=np=400\times0.6=240$

The standard deviation is given by:

$\sigma=\sqrt{npq} \\ \\ =\sqrt{np(1-p)} \\ \\ =\sqrt{400(0.6)(0.4)} \\ \\ =\sqrt{96}=9.80$

b.) The mean means that in an experiment of 400 adult smokers, we expect on the average to get about 240 smokers who started smoking before turning 18 years.

c.) It would be unusual to observe <span>340 smokers who started smoking before turning 18 years old in a random sample of 400 adult smokers because 340 is far greater than the mean of the distribution.
340 is greater than 3 standard deviations from the mean of the distribution.</span>
