Answer:

Just like multiplication is adding the same number multiple times, dividing can be described as subtracting the same number multiple times.

Ex:

4 x 3 = 12

4 + 4 + 4 = 12

8/2 = 4

8 -2 -2 = 4

The yearly sales of candles decreased from 560 to 476. By what percentage did the candle sales decrease?

Korvikt [17]

The candle sales decreases to - 15 percentage.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

(476 - 560) : 560 x 100

= (476 : 560 - 1)100

= 85 - 100 = - 15

Therefore, - 15% did the candle sales decrease.

Approximately how many inches are in 2500 millimeters? Given 1 in = 2.54 cm, 1 ft = .3048 m, 1 mi = 1.61 km.

love history [14]

Let's begin with 2500 mm and convert this to cm.

2500 mm = 250 cm

Next, convert 250 cm to inches. Recall that 1 inch = 2.54 cm.

Then (250 cm)(1 inch) / (2.54 cm) = (250 cm) (1 in)/ (2.54 cm)

= (250/2.54) inches = ? inches

Find the area<br> cant solve

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

36in²

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Area of the White Region: </h3>

A = l * w

The rectangle is 3 by 2.

A = 3 * 2

A = 6

The white part of the rectangle is 6in².

<h3>Area of the blue region:</h3>

A = l * w

The rectangle is 6 by 7.

A = 6*7

A = 42

The blue part of the rectangle is 42in².

<h3>Area of the shaded region:</h3>

[area of the blue part] - [area of the white part]

42 - 6 = 36

The area of the shaded region should be 36in².

The thickness of a flange on an aircraft component is uniformly distributed between 0.95 and 1.05 millimeters. (a) Determine the

maxonik [38]

Answer:

a) 0.5 = 50% of flanges exceed 1 millimeter.

b) A thickness of 0.96 millimeters is exceeded by 90% of the flanges

Step-by-step explanation:

A distribution is called uniform if each outcome has the same probability of happening.

The uniform distributon has two bounds, a and b, and the probability of finding a value higher than x is given by:

$P(X > x) = \frac{b - x}{b - a}$

The thickness of a flange on an aircraft component is uniformly distributed between 0.95 and 1.05 millimeters.

This means that $a = 0.95, b = 1.05$

(a) Determine the proportion of flanges that exceeds 1.00 millimeters.

$P(X > 1) = \frac{1.05 - 1}{1.05 - 0.95} = \frac{0.05}{0.1} = 0.5$

0.5 = 50% of flanges exceed 1 millimeter.

(b) What thickness is exceeded by 90% of the flanges?

This is x for which:

$P(X > x) = 0.9$

$\frac{1.05 - x}{1.05 - 0.95} = 0.9$

$1.05 - x = 0.9*0.1$

$x = 1.05 - 0.9*0.1$

$x = 0.96$

A thickness of 0.96 millimeters is exceeded by 90% of the flanges
