Answer:

  • (a) 104 = 4(12+x)
  • (b) x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The new side length of Ben's garden is (12+x), since x is the amount of increase above the existing 12 ft side length.

The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the four equal sides, so is ...

  perimeter = 4 × side length

  104 = 4(12+x)

(b) We can solve this by dividing by 4, then subtracting 12.

  26 = 12 +x . . . . . divide the above equation by 4

  14 = x . . . . . . . . . subtract 12

The solution is x = 14.

Will bought 3 college textbooks. One cost 32$, one cost 45$, and one cost 39$. What is the average price of his book?
Damm [24]

Answer:

The average of all textbooks is $38.60.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's why to calculate average we do sum of all numbers divided by the number of numbers, for example if we average 2 and 3, we do 2+3 divided by 2. Which happens to be 2.5. Now for this problem we divide the sum by 3.

Therefore getting our answer of $38.60.

The amount of snowfall falling in a certain mountain range is normally distributed with a mean of 90 inches comma and a standard
Debora [2.8K]

Step-by-step answer:

standard deviation (sigma) = 12 inches

mean (mu) = 90 inches.

For 36 years, the standard error of the mean is

e = sigma / sqrt(n) = 12" / sqrt(36) = 2".

Deviation from the mean

= 92.8 -90 = 2.8

Since the standard error of the mean follows the normal distribution, we have

Z=(92.8-90)/2 = 1.4

Looking up the normal distribution tables, or check R, we find

P(Z>1.4) = 1-P(Z<1.4) = 1-0.9192433 = 0.08075666

Answer: P(snowfall>92.8) = 0.0808 (to four decimal places)

On a map, 90 miles is represented by 3 inches.
jarptica [38.1K]
If the ratio is 90:3 and there are 4 groups of 3 in 12, then the ratio would then be 450:12, leaving you with 450 as the answer. Hope I helped
