Sav [38]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

first number= 19/5

second number= 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

first number= a

second number= b

a+3b=5   equation 1

b+2a=8  equation 2

using equation 2 we have

b=8-2a

using equation 1 we have

a+3(8-2a)=5  

a+24-6a=5

24-5=6a-a

19=5a

a=19/5 = first number

so using b=8-2a

we have

b=8-2(19/5)

b=8-(38/5)

b=2/5 = second number

Marcus bought he used 50% on tickets on rides and 1/4 of the tickets on video games and the rest of the tickets in the batting c
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Therefore Marcus is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total ticket that Marcus bought= 100%.

Marcus used 50% of ticket on rides.

and he used  \frac{1}{4} of the tickets on the video games.

The percentage form of any number x is

=100\times x \%

The percentage form of \frac{1}{4} is

=\frac{1\times  100}{4} \%

=25%

Therefore rest tickets are

=Total ticket-( ticket used in rides + ticket used in video games)

=100% - (50%+25%)

=100% - 75%

=25%

Therefore he used 25% of tickets in batting cage.

But he said that Marcus said that he used 24% of ticket in batting cage.

Therefore Marcus is incorrect.

A sleep time of 15.9 hours per day for a newborn baby is at the 10h percentile of the distribution of sleep times for all newbor
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

option (D) 16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided:

Sleep time of , X = 15.9 is at the 10th percentile

Standard deviation, σ = 0.5  hour

also,

10th percentile of normal distribution is

Z = F⁻¹(0.10)

or

Z = - 1.28  (Using Standard Normal distribution)

Now,

\\Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

or

X = μ + ( σ × Z )

or

μ = X - ( σ × Z )

on substituting the respective values, we get

μ = 15.9 - 0.5 × (-1.28)

or

μ = 16.5

Hence, the correct answer is option (D) 16.5
