Sally alone can paint the room in 7 hours.

In 7 hours Sally alone does the job.

In 1 hour   Sally would do (1/7) of the job.


Steve can paint it alone in 9 hours.

In 9 hours Steve alone does the job.

In 1 hour   Steve would do (1/9) of the job.

Both working together in 1 hour would do:   (1/7) + (1/9).    

(1/7)*(9/9) + (1/9)*(7/7) = 9/63 + 7/63 = (9 + 7) / 63 = 16/63

In 1 hour both will have done (16/63) of the job.

16/63 of the job will be done in 1 hour by both.

Therefore  a 1 whole fraction of the job will be done in:   1 hour ÷ 16/63

                             =   1 hour × 63/16

                             = 63/16 hours = 3.9375 hours

It would take both 63/16 hours or 3.9375 hours.

How much part can sally paint in an hour ?
a ÷ 7 = a/7

And what about Steve ?
a ÷ 9 = a/9

Where, a is the total area of the room.

So, let the time taken by both of them to paint the room together be 't'

So,
t(a/7 + a/9) = a
t(9a/63 + 7a/63) = a
t(16a/63) = a
t = 63/16 ≈ 4 hr

Jacob is 5 5/6 feet tall. Linda is 5 1/4 feet tall. How much taller is Jacob?
SCORPION-xisa [38]
This problem boils down to 5/6 - 1/4

To subtract these fractions you need a common denominator.

I'll use 12

The first fraction becomes 10/12 and the second fraction becomes 3/12

10/12-3/12 = 7/12

So Jacob is 7/12 of a foot taller than Linda.

Also note than since 12 inches = 1 foot, you could say Jacob is 7 inches taller than Linda

The measurement of the height of 600 students of a college is normally distributed with a mean of
ioda

Answer:

68

Step-by-step explanation:

We let the random variable X denote the height of students of the college. Therefore, X is normally distributed with a mean of 175 cm and a standard deviation of 5 centimeters.

We are required to determine the percent of students who are between 170 centimeters and 180 centimeters in height.

This can be expressed as;

P(170<X<180)

This can be evaluated in Stat-Crunch using the following steps;

In stat crunch, click Stat then Calculators and select Normal

In the pop-up window that appears click Between

Input the value of the mean as 175 and that of the standard deviation as 5

Then input the values 170 and 180

click compute

Stat-Crunch returns a probability of approximately 68%
