Answer:

There are 2.5 1/3 inches in 5/6 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find how many equal parts are in some whole, you have to divide this whole by the measure of the part. For this case, the whole thing is represented by 5/6 inch and every part you want to divide it measures 1/3 inches.

(5/6) / (1/3) = 5/6 * 3 = 15/6 = 5/2 = 2.5

5/6 ÷ 1/3 = 5/2 = 2.5

A triangle has an area of 221.16 in.² the height of the triangle is 29.1 inches what is the length of the base of the triangle

Zigmanuir [339]

The formula you should use is Area = 1/2bh, in other words, area equals half times base times height. Now, substitute everything in, the equation should now be 221.16 = 1/2*b*29.1. This simplifies into 221.16 = 14.55b, now divide 14.55 on both sides, which leaves us to 15.2 = b. However, don't forget the units, which the answer (length of base) should be 15.2 in.^2.

Suppose that the weights of passengers on a flight to Greenland on Frigid Aire Lines are normal with mean 175 pounds and standar

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

The minimum weight for a passenger who outweighs at least 90% of the other passengers is 203.16 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 175, \sigma = 22$
