Answer:

12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the currently age of Max.

Let x be the current age of Max and y be the current age of Zeke.

According to question

$2(x-3)+y=26$

Current age of Zeke=8 years old

Then substitute the value

$2x-6+8=26$

$2x+2=26$

$2x=26-2=24$

$x=\frac{24}{2}=12$

Hence, the current age of Max=12 years old

Let m be max's age
Let z be zekes age
2m+z=26
Sub in zekes age
2m+8=26
2m=26-8
2m=18
M=18/2
M=9
Remember: this is Max's age THREE YEARS AGO. Therefore, add three to get his current age
9+3=12
Therefore, Max is currently 12
Hope this helps!

In the figure, PQ is parallel to RS. The length of RP is 2 cm; the length of PT is 18 cm; the length of QT is 27 cm. What is the

Sidana [21]

Step 1

<u>Find the value of TS</u>

we know that

if PQ is parallel to RS. then triangles TRS and TPQ are similar

so

$\frac{TR}{TP} =\frac{TS}{QT}$

solve for TS

$TS =\frac{TR*QT}{TP}$

we have

$RP=2\ cm\\TP=18\ cm\\QT=27\ cm$

$TR=TP+RP\\TR=18+2=20\ cm$

substitute

$TS =\frac{20*27}{18}$

$TS =30\ cm$

Step 2

<u>Find the value of SQ</u>

we know that

$SQ=TS-QT$

we have

$TS =30\ cm$

$QT=27\ cm$

substitute

$SQ=30\ cm-27\ cm=3\ cm$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the value of SQ is $3\ cm$

Three potential employees took an aptitude test. Each person took a different version of the test. The scores are reported below

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Due to the higher Z-score, Demetria should be offered the job.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

Whichever applicant had grade with the highest z-score should be offered the job.

Demetria got a score of 85.1; this version has a mean of 61.1 and a standard deviation of 12.

For Demetria, we have $X = 85.1, \mu = 61.1, \sigma = 12$ . So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{85.1 - 61.1}{12}$

$Z = 2$

Vincent got a score of 299.2; this version has a mean of 264 and a standard deviation of 22.

For Vincent, we have $X = 299.2, \mu = 264, \sigma = 22$ .

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{299.2 - 264}{22}$

$Z = 1.6$

Tobias got a score of 7.26; this version has a mean of 7.1 and a standard deviation of 0.4.

For Tobias, we have $X = 7.26, \mu = 7.1, \sigma = 0.4$ .

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{7.26 - 7.1}{0.4}$

$Z = 0.4$

Due to the higher Z-score, Demetria should be offered the job.

Paulo can run a marathon in four hours and 20 minutes. If he's able to cut of 18% of his time, how long will it take him to run

Inga [223]

Cut out 18%
100=all,
all-cut out=remaining
100-18=82

4hrs 20mins=240+20mins=260mins
82% of 260 is 0.82*20=213.2=3 hours and 33.2 minutes

he can runi s 3 hours and 33.2 minutes
