Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

624 students

Since they’re only 3 parts more girls then boys and the number equals 144, you just have to divide 144 by 3. You’ll get 48

Multiply 5 and 8 by 48 to get 240 and 384 and add to get 624 which is the answer

The life expectancy of a particular brand of tire is normally distributed with a mean of 40,000 and a standard deviation of 5,00
timama [110]

Answer: the probability that a randomly selected tire will have a life of exactly 47,500 miles is 0.067

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the life expectancy of a particular brand of tire is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = life expectancy of the brand of tire in miles.

µ = mean

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 40000 miles

σ = 5000 miles

The probability that a randomly selected tire will have a life of exactly 47,500 miles

P(x = 47500)

For x = 47500,

z = (40000 - 47500)/5000 = - 1.5

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.067

Please help!<br> 5x^2 - 3x - 2 = 0<br> Solve using the zero-factor property.
Alex

Answer:

x = -2/5

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x² - 3x - 2 = 0

(5x + 2)(x - 1) = 0

⇒ 5x + 2 = 0

⇒ 5x = -2

⇒ x = -2/5

⇒ x - 1 = 0

⇒ x = 1

How many 3/4 are in 6?
beks73 [17]
Answer: There are 8 3/4 in 6

You can use a rule of three:
If in 3/4 there is 1 (3/4), How many 3/4 are in 6?:

3/4 → 1
6 → x

x=(6)(1)/(3/4)→
x=6/(3/4)→
x=(6/1)/(3/4)→
x=(6/1)(4/3)→
x=(6)(4)/[(1)(3)]→
x=24/3→
x=8

Answer: There are 8 3/4 in 6

6d+8=3d+1 solve for the value of d
Yanka [14]

Answer:

-7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

6d + 8 = 3d + 1 (subtract 3d from both sides)

3d + 8 = 1 (now subtract 8 from both sides)

3d = -7 (divide both sides by 3)

d = -7/3
