Answer:

The towel bar should be placed at a distance of 23\frac{1}{24}\ cm from each edge of the door.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the towel bar = 24\frac14\ cm

Now given length is in mixed fraction we will convert in fraction.

To Convert mixed fraction into fraction Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator, then Add that to the numerator, then write the result on top of the denominator.

24\frac14\ cm can be Rewritten as \frac{97}{4}\ cm

Length of the towel bar =  \frac{97}{4}\ cm

Length of the door = 70 \frac13\ cm

70 \frac13\ cm can be Rewritten as \frac{211}{3}\ cm

Length of the door = \frac{211}{3}\ cm

We need to find the distance bar should be place at from each edge of the door.

Solution:

Let the distance of bar from each edge of the door be 'x'.

 So as we placed the towel bar in the center of the door it divides into two i.e. '2x'

Now we can say that;

\frac{97}{4}+2x=\frac{211}{3}\\\\2x=\frac{211}{3}-\frac{97}{4}

Now we will take LCM to make the denominators common we get;

2x=\frac{211\times4}{3\times4}-\frac{97\times3}{4\times3}\\\\\\2x= \frac{844}{12}+\frac{281}{12}

Now denominators are common so we will solve the numerators.

2x =\frac{844-291}{12}\\\\2x=\frac{553}{12}\\\\x=\frac{553}{12\times2} =\frac{553}{24}

Or x=23\frac{1}{24}\ cm

Hence The towel bar should be placed at a distance of 23\frac{1}{24}\ cm from each edge of the door.

Y=x +3<br>1 23x+2y=-4<br>what is it ​
erik [133]

Answer:

x=-0.08 and y=2.92

Step-by-step explanation:

123x + 2(x+3) = -4             y = -0.08 + 3

123x + 2x + 6 = -4                = 2.92

125x + 6 = -4

125x = -10

x= -0.08

(y-5)/2=(y+6)/3 solve
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The solution of the given equation represented in the task content can be determined by first evaluating the LCM and hence is; y= 27.

<h3>What is the solution of the equation as given in the task?</h3>

The given equation is; (y-5)/2=(y+6)/3.

Hence, by multiplying the equation by 6, we have;

3(y-5) = 2(y+6)

3y -15 = 2y +12

y = 27.

Hence, it follows that the value of y which is a solution to the equation is; y = 27.

The SAT Reasoning Test (formerly called the Scholastic Aptitude Test) is perhaps the most widely used standardized test for coll
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The score is  x  =  1884

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The population mean is  \mu  = 1500

     The standard deviation is  \sigma  =  300

     

From the question we are told that the score follow a normal distribution

i.e     X  \~  \   N( 1500 , 300)

The proportion of score in the top 10% is mathematically

           P(X > x )  =  P( \frac{X -  \mu}{\sigma }  > \frac{x -  \mu}{\sigma }   ) = 0.10

Where x is the minimum score required to be in the top 10%

Now the \frac{X -  \mu}{\sigma }   =  Z (The  \ Standardized \ value \  of  \  X)

  So

            P(X > x )  =  P( Z > \frac{x -  \mu}{\sigma }   ) = 0.10

So

            P(X > x )  =  P( Z > \frac{x -  1500}{300}   ) = 0.10

So the critical value of  0.10  from the normal distribution table is  Z_{0.10} =  1.28

So

               \frac{x -  1500}{300}   = 1.28

              x  =  1884
