I run 1 mile every 6 minutes.
My friend runs 1 mile every 7 minutes.
Lowest Common Multiple:  LCM ( 6, 7 ) = 42 minutes.
Me : 42 : 6 = 7 miles
My friend : 42 : 7 = 6 miles.

Start by finding how long it takes each to run 1 mile.

You: 0.5 mile every 3 minutes => 1 mile every 6 minutes

Your friend 2 miles every 14 minutes => 1 mile every 7 minutes

Now you have to calculate the minimum common multiple of 6 and 7.

For that you need to factor both numbers and take common and non common factors raised to their highest exponent:

6 = 3*2
7 = 7

Then the minimum common multiple is 2*3*7=42.

Now divide the time 42 by the humber of minutes each of you take to run 1 mile

you: 42 minutes / 6 minutes per mile = 7 miles
your friend 42 minutes / 7 minutes per mile = 6 miles.

You can run 7 miles and your friend 6 miles in the same time.

Answer: 7 and 6

Standard printer paper has a thickness of 0.1mm. write an equation for a function that should approximately the thickness of a s
ladessa [460]
Folding a paper will make it thickness become double from it before.
Unfolded paper has 1 thickness
1 times folded paper has 2 thickness
2 times folded paper has 4 thickness
3 times folded paper has 8 thickness

From here it is clear that the pattern is 2^{n}. SInce the paper is 0.1mm, then the function would be:
f(n)= 2^{n} x 0.1mm

Suppose babies born in a large hospital have a mean weight of 4088 grams, and a variance of 55,696. Of 128 babies are sampled at
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

P = 0.9893

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean weight of the babies born is 4088 and a variance of 55696

This is a sampling question with sample size, n = 128

To find the probability that the mean weight 4088 is greater than 4132

Therefore, probability is given as

P = 4088/4132

P = 0.9893
