People in building ---- x (men, women and children)
children --- y
men + women + children = x
(3/7)x + (5/8)(4/7)x + y = x
3x/7 + 5x/14 + y = x
times 14
6x + 5x + 14y = 14x
14y = 3x

y + 220 =x
sub into the other one
14y = 3(y+220)
11y = 660
y = 60
then 14(60) = 3x ---> x = 280

So we have 280 people in the building.

check: 3/7 of 280 are men = 120
leaving 160 women and children
5/8 of these ot 100 are women

so we have 120 men, 100 women and 60 children!

hope this is right! have a great. day

the area of rectangular park is 3/5 square mile, the length of the park is 7/8 mile,what is the width of the park
Luba_88 [7]
Area=LengthxWidth so 3/5=7/8xWidth. To get width by itself you must divide both sides by 7/8. When dividing fractions you can flip the fraction and multiply so multiply (3/5)(8/7). To do this just multiply the numerators and denominators to get 24/35 so width = 24/35

A laboratory scale is known to have a standard deviation of Ï = 0.001 gram in repeated weighings. Scale readings in repeated wei
erica [24]

Answer:

the confidence interval for the true weight of the specimen is;

4.1593 ≤ μ ≤ 4.1611

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Standard deviation; σ = 0.001

Sample size; n = 8

Average weight; x¯ = 4.1602

We are given a 99% confidence interval and the z-value at this interval is 2.576

Formula for confidence interval is;

CI = x¯ ± (zσ/√n)

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

CI = 4.1602 ± (2.576 × 0.001/√8)

CI = 4.1602 ± 0.000911

CI = (4.1602 - 0.000911), (4.1602 + 0.000911)

CI ≈ (4.1593, 4.1611)

Thus, the confidence interval for the true weight will be expressed as;

4.1593 ≤ μ ≤ 4.1611

Where μ represents the true weight

Round 104229 to the nearest ten thousand
saul85 [17]
That is a one hundred thousand number. To round it you need to know this: 5 or more make it go up (make it the next number. For example: 19,530. It would be rounded to 20,000 because of the 5) 4 or less let it be (EXAMPLE : 8,213. It would be 8,000. Because of the 4.) 

Then you need to find the ten thousand. In this case it is the 0. (104,229) Then you round it off to 100,000. The answer is 100,000.
