Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 of 12 = 4

1/4 of 12 = 3

4 is 1 more than 3.

The number is 12.

_____

If this does not immediately come to mind, you can solve for the number, x:

x/3 -x/4 = 1 . . . . the difference between 1/3 of x and 1/4 of x is 1

x/12 = 1 . . . . . . . collect terms: (1/3 -1/4 = 4/12 -3/12 = 1/12)

x = 12 . . . . . . . . multiply by 12

Which solid has one face, zero lateral faces, one base, one vertex, and zero edges?

Ratling [72]

The correct answer is cone.

There's only one face, and only one vertex that leads to a single base. There are no edges because the base perimeter is not considered to be an edge because it's a vertex.

According to a report, 67.5% of murders are committed with a firearm. (a) If 200 murders are randomly selected, how many wou

kolezko [41]

Answer: The answer is 135 murders.

Step-by-step explanation: The report tells us that statistically 67.5% of murders are committed using a firearm. It follows therefore that in a sample of 200 randomly selected murders, one would expect that 67.5% of those would be by a firearm. $\frac{67.5}{100}$ * 200 = 135.

It would certainly be higher that the expected value based on previous data collected but it would not be unusual because one sample may have a higher than "normal" amount of murders by firearm. Statistics aren't going to be exact for every sample.

lisov135 [29]

Because vol= length x width x height , and assuming that the height is 11.5 because breadth means width but you already have a width then, vol= 11.5 x 7.4 x 11.5, vol = 978.65
