Answer:

<em>The elephants' moat should be 3.2 meters deep.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the depth of the elephants' moat is  x meter.

Width of the lions' moat is 5 meter and width of the elephants' moat is 4 meter.

Given that, the lion’s moat is 4 meter deep.

So, <u>according to the ratio of width and depth</u>, the equation will be.......

\frac{5}{4}=\frac{4}{x}\\ \\ 5x=4*4\\ \\ 5x=16\\ \\ x=\frac{16}{5}=3.2

Thus, the elephants' moat should be 3.2 meters deep.

The population of a town increased from 3450 in 2006 to 4650 in 2011. Find the absolute and relative (percent) increase.
netineya [11]

Answer:

15% increase per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

5,600 - 3,500 = 2,100

2,100 is what percent of 3,500?

2,100 = X*3,500

X =  2,100 / 3,500

X = .60 or 60%

An average of 15% increase per year.

Find the x coordinate of the point.
Olegator [25]

Answer:

x= -17

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have 2 points, we can find the slope using

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Substituting what we know

1/5 = (0-3)/(x--2)

1/5 = -3/(x+2)

Using cross products

1*(x+2) = 5*(-3)

x+2 = -15

Subtract 2 from each side

x+2-2 = -15-2

x=-17

Two percent of the customers of a store buy cigars. Half of the customers who buy cigars buy beer. 25 percent who buy beer buy c
enyata [817]

Answer:

0.95

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability that a customer neither buys beer nor buys cigars is given below;

Given that, the probabilities are

The customers who purchased cigars be 0.02

The customers who purchased cigars + beer 0.50

And, the customers who purchased beer + cigars be 0.25

Now the probabilities where the customer purchased both

= 0.05 × 0.02

= 0.10

The probability where the customer purchased beer is

= 0.01 ÷ 0.25

= 0.04

Now the probability where a customer neither buys beer nor buys cigars is

= 1 - 0.02 + 0.04 - 0.01

= 0.95
