Let's write an equation and solve for x
12 1/2 = 5x + 3 1/3
rewrite the mixed fractions as improper fractions and with denominator 6
75/6 = 5x + 20/6
subtract 20/6 from both sides
55/6 = 5x
divide both sides by 5 to isolate x
11/6 = x
That is 1 and 5/6 pounds per each of the friends

To check:
<span>12 1/2 =?= 5(1 5/6) + 3 1/3
12 1/2 =?= 55/6 + 3 1/3
12 1/2 =?= 25/2
12 1/2 = 12 1/2

Hope this helps</span>

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to -2/7x+9 that passes through the point (4, -6)
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

7y + 2x + 34 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient for perpendicular, m = -2/7

The formular equation, y - y1 = m(x - x1)

The equation of line through (4, -6) is:

y - (-6) = -2/7(x - 4)

y + 6 = -2x/7 + 8/7

7y + 42 + 2x - 8 = 0

7y + 2x + 34 = 0

Jordan flipped a coin 492 times. Which of the following would be a good estimate of the number of times the coin landed on heads
Irina-Kira [14]
I'd say B. but that's only because I divided the number of times he flipped the coin by the number of sides it has, 2, and came up with 246. The closest number on here to that is 231 or B. I hope I helped.

If the area of a square is 36 inches what is the length of one side?
Pavel [41]
To find the length of a square given the area, we just need to take the square root of the area given. The sqrt of 36 is 6, so each side is 6 inches. :)

In an article about the cost of health care, Money magazine reported that a visit to a hospital emergency room for something as
baherus [9]

Answer:

Probability that the cost will be less than $500 is 0.95994 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Money magazine reported that a visit to a hospital emergency room for something as simple as a sore throat has a mean cost of $348 with a standard deviation of $87.

Let X = cost of a hospital emergency room visit for this medical service

So, X ~ N(\mu=348, \sigma^{2} =87^{2})

The standard normal z score distribution is given by;

              Z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} ~ N(0,1)

(a) Probability that the cost will be less than $500 = P(X < $500)

    P(X < 500) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{500-348}{87} ) = P(Z < 1.75) = 0.95994 {from z table}

Therefore, the probability that the cost will be less than $500 is 0.95994 .
