Step-by-step explanation:

12a + 5 -8a =-1

(collect like terms)

12a + 8a= -1 -5

20a = -6

a= -6÷20

a= 3÷ 10

a= 0.3

a tight roll of paper, as delivered to the printer, is 60cm in diameter, and the paper is wound on to a wooden cylinder 8cm in d

Alekssandra [29.7K]

The area of the paper is the amount of space it occupies.

The length of papers around the edge is 1607680 cm

The given parameters are:

$\mathbf{d_1 = 60cm}$

$\mathbf{d_2 = 60cm + 8cm = 68cm}$

The area of the circle head is:

$\mathbf{Area = \pi \frac{d^2}{4}}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{Area = \pi \frac{d_2^2 - d_1^2}{4}}$

Substitute known values

$\mathbf{Area = \pi \frac{68^2 - 60^2}{4}}$

$\mathbf{Area = \pi \frac{1024}{4}}$

$\mathbf{Area = 256\pi}$

The length of the paper is then calculated as:

$\mathbf{Length = \frac{Area}{0.0005}}$

This gives

$\mathbf{Length = \frac{256\pi}{0.0005}}$

$\mathbf{Length = \frac{256 \times 3.14}{0.0005}}$

$\mathbf{Length = 1607680}$

Hence, the length of papers around the edge is 1607680 cm

Trucks that travel on highways have to stop at various locations to be weighed and inspected for safe brakes and light systems.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The reuired probability is 0.756

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of trucks be 'N'

1) Trucks on interstate highway N'= 76% of N =0.76N

2) Truck on intra-state highway N''= 24% of N = 0.24N

i) Number of trucks flagged on intrastate highway = 3.4% of N'' = $\frac{3.4}{100}\times 0.24N=0.00816N$

ii) Number of trucks flagged on interstate highway = 0.7% of N' = $\frac{0.7}{100}\times 0.76N=0.00532N$

Part a)

The probability that the truck is an interstate truck and is not flagged for safety is $P(E)=P_{1}\times (1-P_{2})$

where

$P_{1}$ is the probability that the truck chosen is on interstate

$P_{2}$ is the probability that the truck chosen on interstate is flagged

$\therefore P(E)=0.76\times (1-0.00532)=0.756$
