Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

The length can be found by setting up a proportion.  If the width is reduced by some ratio, then the length will share the same ratio.

3 / 8 =  x / 10                    Multiply both sides by 10.

3 * 10 / 8 = x                     Multiply first

30/8 = x                            Divide next. You don't need to do it in this order.

3 6/8                                 Simplify

3 3/4                                 Give another choice

3.75                                

The length = 3.75 inches

If none of these are correct, please leave a note with your choices.

Marina CMI [18]

11 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

the yards have to be converted to feet

1 yards = 3 feet

5 yards x 3 = 15 feet

Area of a rectangle = length x width

15 x 2 1/4

15 x 9/4 = 33 3/4

33 3/4 x 1/3 = 135 /12 = 11 1/4

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

  57.885

Step-by-step explanation:

For such calculations a probability calculator is very helpful. The one in the attachment shows the 87th percentile to be 57.885.

___

A table of the standard normal distribution will tell you the 87th percentile corresponds to a z-value of 1.12639. Then the X value is ...

  X = Zσ +μ = 1.12639(7) +50 = 57.885

dusya [7]
So he started with 3/4 lb and ended up with 2/3 of that so 2/3 of 3/4

'of' can be roughly translated as multiply

so 2/3 times 3/4 =6/12=1/2 lb left

or you know that there are 3 out of 4 parts pound left so 2 out of 3 parts of nuts is = 2/4 or 1/2 lb

What equation represents the road that passes through the point shown and is perpendicular to the road represented by the red li
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

y = -1/3 x + 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The red line passes through points (0, 2) and (2, 8).

The slope of the red line is (8 - 2)/(2 - 0) = 6/2 = 3

The slope of the perpendicular line is -1/3, and it passes through point (1, 0).

y = mx + b

y = -1/3 x + b

0 = (-1/3)(1) + b

b = 1/3

y = -1/3 x + 1/3
