Given:
Area of sample board: 1/3 square ft.
Weight of sample board: 1/5 lbs

We need to get the weight of the whole square foot.

1/3 square foot is only a part of the whole square foot. Its corresponding weight is 1/5 pounds. We need to divide the area by its corresponding weight to get the total weight per square foot.

1/3 ÷ 1/5 

Rules of dividing fractions:
1st fraction: 1/3 ; 2nd fraction: 1/5

1) Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. 1/5 ⇒ 5/1

2) Multiply 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction
1/3 * 5/1 = 5/3

3) Simplify fraction.
5/3 is an improper fraction. To simplify it, it needs to become a mixed fraction.

5/3 = 1 2/3 pounds.

translate the words into a algebraic expression. "twenty-seven more than a number squared" "one less than three times a number"
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

n^2+27 and 3n-1

Step-by-step explanation:

n is a number.

a number squared is n^2

27 more than a number squared is n^2+27

n is a number.

three times a number is 3 times n, or 3n

one less than that is 3n-1

Hope this answer helped! :)

Uptown Country Club only admits members with annual incomes in the top 2.5% of the United States. If the annual individual incom
Verdich [7]

Answer:

$74,600

Step-by-step explanation:

-Given the probability is 2.5%, mean=$55,000 and standard deviation= $10,000

-We find the z value of 2.5%

p=P(z>\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma})\\\\1.96=P(z

Hence, the minimum amount of income to be in the top 2.5% is $74,600

Bryan’s monthly electric bill is determined by adding a flat administration fee to the product of the number of kilowatt hours o
Sophie [7]
We will form the equations for this problem:
(1) 1100*y + z = 113
(2) 1500*y + z = 153
z = ? Monthly administration fee is notated with z, and that is the this problem's question.
Number of kilowatt hours of electricity used are numbers 1100 and 1500 respectively.
Cost per kilowatt hour is notated with y, but its value is not asked in this math problem, but we can calculate it anyway.
The problem becomes two equations with two unknowns, it is a system, and can be solved with method of replacement:
(1) 1100*y + z = 113
(2) 1500*y + z = 153
----------------------------
(1) z = 113 - 1100*y [insert value of z (right side) into (2) equation instead of z]:
(2) 1500*y + (113 - 1100*y) = 153
-------------------------------------------------
(1) z = 113 - 1100*y
(2) 1500*y + 113 - 1100*y = 153
------------------------------------------------
(1) z = 113 - 1100*y
(2) 400*y + 113 = 153
------------------------------------------------
(1) z = 113 - 1100*y
(2) 400*y = 153 - 113
------------------------------------------------
(1) z = 113 - 1100*y
(2) 400*y = 40
------------------------------------------------
(1) z = 113 - 1100*y
(2) y = 40/400
------------------------------------------------
(1) z = 113 - 1100*y
(2) y = 1/10
------------------------------------------------
if we insert the obtained value of y into (1) equation, we get the value of z:
(1) z = 113 - 1100*(1/10)
(1) z = 113 - 110
(1) z = 3 dollars is the monthly fee.

The mean incubation time of fertilized eggs is 19 days. Suppose the incubation times are approximately normally distributed with
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the incubation times are approximately normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = incubation times of fertilized eggs in days

µ = mean incubation time

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 19 days

σ = 1 day

a) For the 20th percentile for incubation times, it means that 20% of the incubation times are below or even equal to 19 days(on the left side). We would determine the z score corresponding to 20%(20/100 = 0.2)

Looking at the normal distribution table, the z score corresponding to the probability value is - 0.84

Therefore,

- 0.84 = (x - 19)/1

x = - 0.84 + 19 = 18.16

b) for the incubation times that make up the middle 97​% of fertilized eggs, the probability is 97% that the incubation times lie below and above 19 days. Thus, we would determine 2 z values. From the normal distribution table, the two z values corresponding to 0.97 are

1.89 and - 1.89

For z = 1.89,

1.89 = (x - 19)/1

x = 1.89 + 19 = 20.89 days

For z = - 1.89,

- 1.89 = (x - 19)/1

x = - 1.89 + 19 = 17.11 days

the incubation times that make up the middle 97​% of fertilized eggs are

17.11 days and 20.89 days
