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.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Following changes will be there when the figure is transformed by the given rules.

1). Rule for transformation has been given as,

   (x, y) → (x, -y)

   Reflection across x axis.

2). (x, y) → (-x, -y)

   Rotation of 180° about the origin.

3). (x, y) → (x - 4, y)

   Shifted 4 units left horizontally.

4). (x, y) → (x, y + 3)

   Shifted vertically up by 3 units

5). (x, y) → (x - 1, y + 4)

   Shifted 1 units left horizontally and 4 units up vertically.

6). (x, y) → (4x, 4y)

   Dilated by 4 units.

What’s -9/6 divided by -1/8
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

-9/6 divided by -1/8 equals 12

Step-by-step explanation:

. A negative divided by a negative is a positive so... 9/6 divided by 1/8

. To divide by a fraction, multiply by the reciprocal of that fraction so... 9/6 times 8

. Reduce the fraction with 3 so... 3/2 times 8

. Reduce the numbers with the greatest common factor 2 so... 3 times 4

. Multiply the numbers so... 3 times 4 equals 12
