Wendy is creating a large soup based on a recipe. Her recipe calls for of a pint of milk, but she only has of a pint of milk, so
1 answer:
Answer:
She can only make 5/6 of her recipe with the amount of milk that she has.
Step-by-step explanation:
Some data of this problem is missing, the data missing is:
Her recipe calls for 3/4 of a pint of milk and she only has 5/8 of a pint of milk.
Now, to know what's the portion she can do with that amount we need to divide the amount of milk she has by the total amount she needs:
÷
When we divide we turn the second fraction upside down (the numerator becomes the denominator and viceversa) and multiply, thus:
÷
×
If we simplify this last expression we have:
Thus, she can only make 5/6 of her recipe with the amount of milk that she has.
<em>Note: In case the data missing is different, you can apply this same procedure with the fractions you have. </em>

Answer:
The sample mean is
b.3.55
The margin of error is
0.32
Step-by-step explanation:
Deep explanation about a confidence interval
We have that to find our level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of .
So it is z with a pvalue of , so
Now, find M as such
In which is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the mean subtracted by M. So it is 6.4 - 0.3944 = 6.01 hours.
The upper end of the interval is the mean added to M. So it is 6.4 + 0.3944 = 6.74 hours.
In this problem:
The deep explanation is not that important.
We just have to recognize that the interval has a lower end and an upper end. The distance from both the upper and the lower end to the mean is M. This means that the sample mean is the halfway point between the lower end and the upper end.
The margin of error is the distance of these two points(lower and upper end) to the mean.
In our interval
Lower end: 3.23
Upper end: 3.87
Sample mean
So the correct answer is:
b.3.55
The margin of error is
3.87 - 3.55 = 3.55 - 3.23 = 0.32
In every case, you're finding the surface area of a rectangular prism. That area is the sum of the areas of the 6 rectangular faces. Since opposite faces have the same area, the formula can be written
... S = 2(LW +WH +HL)
The number of multiplications can be reduced if you rearrange the formula to
... S = 2(LW +H(L +W))
where L, W, and H are the length, width, and height of the prism. (It does not matter which dimension gets what name, as long as you use the same number for the same variable in the formula.)
When you're evaluating this formula over and over for diffferent sets of numbers, it is convenient to let a calculator or spreadsheet program do it for you.
1. S = 2((5 cm)(5 cm) +(5 cm)(5 cm +5 cm)) = 2(25 cm² +(5 cm)(10 cm))
... = 2(25 cm² + 50 cm²) = 150 cm²
2. S = 2(12·6 + 2(12+6)) mm² = 2(72 +36) mm² = 216 mm²
3. S = 2(11·6 + 4(11 +6)) ft² = 2·134 ft² = 264 ft²
4. S = 2(10·4 +3(10 +4)) in² = 164 in²
