Mathematics

Money is earned by the hour.
Therefore all you have to do is divide the second column by the first column.

Caleb: 36.25/5; or $7.25 an hour.
Jeremy: 65.25/7.5; or $8.70 an hour.
Maria: 34.00/4.25; or $8.00 an hour.
Rosa: 54.00/8; or $6.70 an hour

This can be solved by using a simple algebraic equation.

For example, in the first column, Caleb worked 5 hours. We do not know how much he makes per hour, so let that be x. He earned a total of $36.25, so the equation can be written as 5x=36.25.

Divide by 5 on both sides, and you get x= 7.25

He earns $7.25 per hour of work.

Repeat this for all the workers:

Jeremy: 7.5x=65.25

x= $8.70

Maria: 4.25x=34.00

x= $8

Rosa: 8x=54.00

x= $6.75


Jeremy has the greatest hourly rate

kozerog [31]

Answer: 49.85%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The physical plant at the main campus of a large state university recieves daily requests to replace florecent lightbulbs. The distribution of the number of daily requests is bell-shaped ( normal distribution ) and has a mean of 61 and a standard deviation of 9.

i.e.  \mu=61 and \sigma=9

To find :  The approximate percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 34 and 61.

i.e. The approximate percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 34 and 34+3(9).

i.e. i.e. The approximate percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between \mu and \mu+3(\sigma). (1)

According to the 68-95-99.7 rule, about 99.7% of the population lies within 3 standard deviations from the mean.

i.e. about 49.85% of the population lies below 3 standard deviations from mean and 49.85% of the population lies above 3 standard deviations from mean.

i.e.,The approximate percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between \mu and \mu+3(\sigma) = 49.85%

⇒ The approximate percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 34 and 61.= 49.85%

Write an expression to find the perimeter of<br> the rectangle below:<br> 2x - 3y<br> 3x - 1
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

2(5x-3y-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter of a rectangle formula:

2l+2w

l=length(2x-3y)5x

w=width(3x-1)

2(2x-3y)+2(3x-1)

4x-6y+6x-2

10x-6y-2

2) all of these numbers have a gcf of 2 so lets divide this equation by 2:

2(5x-3y-1)

hope this helps!
