The answer is 10 pairs of shoes.
The first ratio is 10:5. 10 socks per 5 pairs of shoes. You have 20 socks now instead of 10. You just double the ratio. 20 socks per 10 pairs of shoes. 20:10.

This problem has been solved!See the answerA municipal bond service has three rating categories (A, B, and C). Suppose that in t
mariarad [96]

Answer:

a. \frac{35}{51}

b. \frac{51}{100}

c. \frac{1}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose cities represented by C', suburbs represented by S and rural represented by R,

Let x be the total number of bonds issued throughout the US,

According to the question,

n(A) = 70% of x = 0.7x,

n(B) = 10% of x = 0.1x,

n(C) = 20% of x = 0.2x,

n(A∩C') = 50% of n(A) = 0.5 × 0.7x = 0.35x,

n(A∩S) = 20% of n(A) = 0.2 × 0.7x = 0.14x,

n(A∩R) = 30% of n(A) = 0.3 × 0.7x = 0.21x,

n(B∩C') = 40% of n(B) = 0.4 × 0.1x = 0.04x,

n(B∩S) = 30% of n(B) = 0.3 × 0.1x = 0.03x,

n(B∩R) = 30% of n(B) = 0.3 × 0.1x = 0.03x,

n(C∩C') = 60% of n(C) = 0.6 × 0.2x = 0.12x,

n(C∩S) = 15% of n(C) = 0.15 × 0.2x = 0.03x,

n(C∩R) = 25% of n(C) = 0.25 × 0.2x = 0.05x,

n(C') = n(A∩C')  + n(B∩C')  + n(C∩C')  = 0.35x + 0.04x + 0.12x = 0.51x

n(S) = n(A∩S) + n(B∩S) + n(C∩S) = 0.14x + 0.03x + 0.03x = 0.20x

a. The probability that it will receive an A rating, if a new municipal bond is to be issued by a city,

P(\frac{A}{C'})=\frac{P(A\cap C')}{P(C')}=\frac{0.35x/x}{0.51x/x}=\frac{0.35}{0.51}=\frac{35}{51}

b. The proportion of municipal bonds are issued by cities = \frac{n(C')}{x}

=\frac{0.51x}{x}

=\frac{51}{100}

c. The proportion of municipal bonds are issued by suburbs = \frac{n(S)}{x}

=\frac{0.20x}{x}

=\frac{20}{100}

=\frac{1}{5}

explain how to use estimation to help find the product of two decimals. give an example with both estimated and actual answer
Marrrta [24]

To find the product of a reasonable estimate of two decimal numbers, round each decimals to the nearest whole number and then perform the multiplication.

For example:

3.2 x 5.7

Estimated answer

3.2 will be rounded down to 3 and 5.7 will be rounded up to 6

⇒ 3 x 6 = 18

Actual Answer

3.2 x 5.7

=18.24
