If the 5 of them weigh 1/4 of a ton
then 1 of them weigh x

5/1 = 1/4//x Do you see what happens? Just by writing down the givens you get a proportion. It will work better for you if you change the 1/4 to 0.25

5/1 = 0.25/x Now it looks like an ordinary proportion. Cross multiply
5x = 0.25*1 divide by 5
x = 0.25/5
x = 0.05 tons. We better change this to pounds.

1 ton = 2000 pounds
0.05 ton = x

1/0.05 = 2000/x Cross multiply
x = 2000 * 0.05
x = 100 pounds.

What percent of 126 is 22
Anna11 [10]
In order to solve, set up a proportion: 22/126=x/100. Cross multiply: 2200=126x. Divide by 126 on both sides: 17.46%=x

Given that x is a normally distributed random variable with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 2, find the probability tha
Shkiper50 [21]

Let X be the normal variable with mean μ =50 and standard deviation σ =2

We have to find probability that x is between 47 and 54

P(47 < X < 54) = P(X < 54) - P(X < 47)

= P(\frac{x-mean}{standard deviation} - P(\frac{x-mean}{standard deviation}

= P(Z < 2) - P(Z < -1.5)

Using standard normal z score table to find probabilities we get

P(Z < 2) = 0.9772

P(Z < -1.5) = 0.0668

P(47 < X < 54) = P(Z < 2) - P(Z < -1.5)

= 0.9772 - 0.0668

P(47 < X < 54) = 0.9104

The probability that x is between 47 and 54 is 0.9104

What is the slope for (-2,3) (6,-1)
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line between two points can be found with the following equation:

\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}

Plugging in the points (x_{1}, y_{1}) and (x_{2}, y_{2}) from the problem statement, we get the following:

\frac{-1 - 3}{6 - (-2)

\frac{-4}{8}

\frac{-1}{2}

Justin got a sack of jelly beans in 5 different colors. Half of them were red, 1/6 were green, 1/6 were yellow, 1/12 were orange
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

  • Red beans =36
  • Green beans = 12
  • Yellow beans = 12
  • Orange beans =6
  • Black beans = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume that "x" is the total number of beans:

  • <em>Red beans: x/2 </em>
  • <em>Green beans: 1/6 (x) = x/6 </em>
  • <em>Yellow beans: 1/6 (x) = x/6 </em>
  • <em>Orange beans: 1/12 (x) = x/12 </em>
  • <em>Black beans = 6 </em>

So, the sum of all the beans:

x/2 + x/6 +x/6 +x/12 +6 =x

Multiplying each term by 12:

(12) x/2 + (12)x/6 + (12)x/6 + (12)x/12 + (12)6 = (12)x

6x +2x+2x+x+72=12x

Isolating "x":

72 =12x -6x-2x-2x-x

72=x

Replacing the value of x in each equation of each bean:

  • Red beans: x/2: 72/2 =36
  • Green beans: 1/6 (x) = x/6= 72/6 = 12
  • Yellow beans: 1/6 (x) = x/6=72/6 = 12
  • Orange beans: 1/12 (x) = x/12 = 72/12=6
  • Black beans = 6
