The product of two numbers is 450.The first number is half the second number.Which can be used to find x,the greater number?

1 answer:

6 0

First, we must define the two numbers using x. We already know that the greater number is x. However, the smaller number is half the greater number. This can be represented by 1/2x. Now, we can create a multiplication equation to find the value of x. This equation would be x(1/2x) = 450. This can then be simplified to 1/2x^2 = 450, then x^2 = 900. Finally, x = 30, or -30. Since the question is only asking for an expression, the answer would be x(1/2x) = 450.

Hope this helps!

#5) 7.065 sq. ft.
#6) 36 ft
#7) 200.96 sq. ft.
#8) 176.625 sq. ft.

Explanation
#5) Converting 18 inches to feet, 18/12 = 1.5. The area of the circle would be given by A=3.14(1.5)² = 3.14(2.25) = 7.065 sq. ft.

#6) The radius is 18 inches, so the diameter is twice that: 18*2 = 36 inches. Converting this to feet, we have 36/12 = 3 feet. Each stone is 3 feet across. Laying 12 of them against each other would give us a total length of 12*3 = 36 feet.

#7) The radius of the entire mirror with frame is 20/2 = 10. The area of the entire mirror with frame is A=3.14(10²) = 3.14(100) = 314 in².
The area of the mirror without the frame is A=3.14(6²) = 3.14(36) = 113.04 in².

The difference between the two will give the area of the frame:
314-113.04 = 200.96 in²

#8) The area of the circular region is given by A=3.14(7.5²) = 176.625 ft²

A standardized test was given to a set of high school juniors and the distribution of the data is bell shaped. The mean score is

stira [4]

Answer:

920 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the mean score for a standardized test is 800 and the standard deviation is 120. To qualify for a special summer camp for accelerated students, a student must score within the top 16% of all scores on the test.

First of all we will find probability of 0.16 using normal distribution table.

Using normal distribution our Z score will be 0.994458

Now we will use raw-score formula to find the score (x) that a student must make to qualify for summer camp.

$x=\text{Mean}+\text{ Standard deviation* Z score}$
