Answer:

z=0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The area of a rectangle is 1.7 square units. The length is 3.4 units and the width is z units.

To find: Value of z

Solution: We know that area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying length and width.

Here, length is given by 3.4 units and width is given by z units.

So, area of rectangle is 3.4\times z

Now, area of the rectangle is  given as 1.7 square units.

In order o get the value of z we need to equate the two areas.

3.4\times z=1.7

z=\frac{1.7}{3.4}

z=\frac{17}{34}

z=\frac{1}{2}

z=0.5

Hence, z=0.5 is correct.

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The total frequency is:

20 + 12 + 6 + 2 = 40

Calculate the probability of each score:

P(X=3) = 20/40 = 0.50

P(X=2) = 12/40 = 0.30

P(X=1) = 6/40 = 0.15

P(X=0) = 2/40 = 0.05

So the expected value is:

E = (3)(0.50) + (2)(0.30) + (1)(0.15) + (0)(0.05)

E = 2.25

Zamira and Courtney share a 16 oz box of cereal. By the end of the week, Zamira has eaten 38 of the box, and Courtney has eaten
12345 [234]

Answer:

12/25 ths of the box is left.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming you mean 14% and 38%

If so then the first thing you'd do is put 38 and fourteen over 100 such as:

38/100 and 14/100.  You do that because since its a percentage, its the same as the number of that percentage over 100.

Since you now have like terms, you can add them together, in which you add the two numerators (top row), but leaving the denominator (bottom row) the same, and it would give you:

52/100

What you want to do after that is simplify it. Once you simplify it, the simplified version of this is technically still the same as the non-simplified version, just easier to use.

Once you simplify it once, you will get:

26/50 and then if you simplify it again, you'll get 13/25

KEEP IN MIND that this is the amount that HAS BEEN EATEN ALREADY.

After that, you wan to subtract your part from your whole meaning you'd subtract: 25/25 - 13/25

Going back to earlier, you subtract the numerator and leave the denominator the same ONLY because they have like terms(The DENOMINATORS match)

After subtracting, you will get an answer of 12/25ths, which cannot be further simplified either.

Hope this helped!

Calculate pt3 such that a line from pt1 to pt3 is perpendicular to the line from pt1 to pt2, and the distance between pt1 and pt
Leni [432]
Let the point_1 = p₁ = (1,4)
and      point_2 = p₂ = (-2,1)
and      Point_3 = p₃ = (x,y)

The line from point_1 to point_2 is L₁ and has slope = m₁
The line from point_1 to point_3 is L₂ and has slope = m₂
m₁ = Δy/Δx = (1-4)/(-2-1) = 1
m₂ = Δy/Δx = (y-4)/(x-1)
L₁⊥L₂ ⇒⇒⇒⇒ m₁ * m₂ = -1
∴ (y-4)/(x-1) = -1 ⇒⇒⇒ (y-4)= -(x-1)
(y-4) = (1-x) ⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒ equation (1)

The distance from point_1 to point_2 is d₁
The distance from point_1 to point_3 is d₂
d = \sqrt{Δx^2+Δy^2}
d₁ = \sqrt{(-2-1)^2+(1-4)^2}
d₂ = \sqrt{(x-1)^2+(y-4)^2}
d₁ = d₂
∴ \sqrt{(-2-1)^2+(1-4)^2} = \sqrt{(x-1)^2+(y-4)^2} ⇒⇒ eliminating the root
∴(-2-1)²+(1-4)² = (x-1)²+(y-4)²
 (x-1)²+(y-4)² = 18
from equatoin (1)  y-4 = 1-x
∴(x-1)²+(1-x)² = 18            ⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒ note: (1-x)² = (x-1)²
2 (x-1)² = 18
(x-1)² = 9
x-1 = \pm \sqrt{9} = \pm 3
∴ x = 4 or x = -2
∴ y = 1 or y = 7

Point_3 = (4,1)  or  (-2,7)

An art supply store buys paintbrush sets for $2 and sells them at a markup of 240%. One day, they decide to put the sets on sale
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

A. <em>6.12</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

if you mark up 2.00$ with 240% you get 6.80 $

then, 0.68 is 10% of 6.80%

if you subtract 0.68 your answer will be 6.12$

So your answer is A. 6.12$
