Wyatt’s eye-level height is 120 ft above sea level, and Shawn’s eye-level height is 270 ft above sea level. How much farther can

Using the formula given: d = <span>√(3h/2)

We simply substitute the given values of h into the equation and compare the results.

For Wyatt where h = 120:
d = </span>√(3(120)/2)<span>
d = 13.42 miles

</span><span>For Shawn where h = 270:
d = </span>√(3(270)/2)<span>
d = 20.12 miles
</span>
Since the question asks for how much farther can Shawn see, we subtract the results:

20.12 - 13.42 = 6.7

Therefore, Shawn can see 6.7 miles farther.

For a certain​ candy, 15​% of the pieces are​ yellow, 1010​% are​ red, 2020​% are​ blue, 55​% are​ green, and the rest are brown
MatroZZZ [7]
A) the probability it is brown would be 50%; the probability it is yellow or blue would be 35%; the probability it is not green is 95%; the probability it is striped is 0%.
B) the probability of all brown would be 12.5%; the probability that the third one is the first red one drawn is 8.1%; the probability that none are yellow is 61.4%; the probability that at least one is green is 14.3%.

Explanation:
A) The probability that it is brown is the percentage of brown we have.  Brown is not listed, so we subtract what we are given from 100%:
100-(15+10+20+5) = 100-(50) = 50%.  The probability that one drawn is yellow or blue would be the two percentages added together:  15+20 = 35%.  The probability that it is not green would be the percentage of green subtracted from 100:  100-5=95%.  Since there are no striped candies listed, the probability is 0%.
B) Since we have an infinite supply of candy, we will treat these as independent events.  All 3 being brown is found by taking the probability that one is brown and multiplying it 3 times:
0.5*0.5*0.5 = 0.125 = 12.5%.  
To find the probability that the first one that is red is the third one drawn, we take the probability that it is NOT red, 100-10 = 90% = 0.9, for the first two, and the probability that it IS red, 10% = 0.1, for the last:
0.9*0.9*0.1 = 0.081 = 8.1%.

The probability that none are yellow is found by raising the probability that the first one is not yellow, 100-15=85%=0.85, to the third power:

0.85^3 = 0.614 = 61.4%.

The probability that at least one is green is computed by subtracting 1-(probability of no green).  We first find the probability that all three are NOT green:
0.95^3 = 0.857375
1-0.857375 = 0.143 = 14.3%.

A shipping container will be used to transport several 100-kilogram crates across the country by rail. The greatest weight that
natulia [17]

Answer:

x ≤ 207 crates

Step-by-step explanation:

Greatest weight of the container = 27,500 kilograms

Weight of other shipment = 6,800 kilograms

Weight of a crate = 100 kilograms

Number of 100-kilogram crates that can be loaded into the shipping container = x

The inequality is

27,500 ≤ 6800 + 100x

27,500 - 6800 ≤ 100x

20,700 ≤ 100x

x ≤ 20,700 / 100

x ≤ 207 crates
