Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find their rate of speed.

r = d / t

For ant,

Convert millimeters to inches.

1 inch = 25.4 mm

18 mm = 0.7 inch

r = 0.7 / 5

r = 0.14 inches per second

For beetle,

r = 8 / 3

r = 2.7 inches per second

From the rates, you can tell that the beetle crosses the Garden first.

To know how long it takes for the ant to cross is by dividing the length by the rate.

1 yard = 36 inches

13 yards = 468 inches

468 ÷ 0.14 = 668.5 ≈ 669 seconds

In terms of minutes:

11 minutes and 15 seconds

The ant would cross the garden in 11 minutes and 15 seconds (or 669 seconds up to you).

Just for future reference always put ^ for exponents. The answer is y-6 though.
(y-4)(y-6) create that trinomial. You can prove that by using the FOIL algorithm

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

$195

Step-by-step explanation:

15a + 12c

5 adults and 10 children means a = 5 and c = 10

15a + 12c = 15(5) + 12(10) = 75 + 120 = 195

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Point estimate for the population variance = 3.92 * $10^{-3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a sample of 5 strings of thread is randomly selected and the following thicknesses are measured in millimeters ;

X X - $Xbar$ $(X-Xbar)^{2}$

1.13 1.13 - 1.188 = -0.058 3.364 * $10^{-3}$

1.15 1.15 - 1.188 = -0.038 1.444 * $10^{-3}$

1.24 1.24 - 1.188 = 0.052 2.704 * $10^{-3}$

1.27 1.27 - 1.188 = 0.082 6.724 * $10^{-3}$

$\sum (X-Xbar)^{2}$ = 0.01568

Firstly, Mean of above data, $Xbar$ = $\frac{\sum X}{n}$ = $\frac{1.15+1.24+1.15+1.27+1.13}{5}$ = 1.188

Point estimate of Population Variance = Sample variance

= $\frac{\sum (X-Xbar)^{2}}{n-1}$ = $\frac{0.01568}{4}$ = 3.92 * $10^{-3}$ .

Therefore, point estimate for the population variance = 3.92 * $10^{-3}$ .
