Remember this, 5 or higher goes up, 4 or lower the number stays the same. soooo.... lets see how i can start this off...
well,... you could....60 divided by 72 equals.... 0.8333333333333
then, starting from the decimal.. you go two spaces to the right... so thats 83.3333333333
so, since 3 is lower than 4, it would be the same.. and take off the extra three after the decimal. and we're basically... rounding off right??
so your answer should be 80%
Hope i helped!!! :D

Several times a week, Chuck goes to the gym to run andswim. When running, heburns 35 calories per minute. When swimming,he burns
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Chucks spent 8 minutes running and 15 minutes swimming

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the amount of time Chuck spends on individual activities.

since the total time spent for the burning is 23 minutes;

then ;

r + w = 23 ••••••••(i)

Now, the number of calories burnt to running for r minutes will be r * 35 = 35w calories

The number of calories burnt to swimming for w minutes will be w * 30 = 30w calories

The addition of both gives the total calories burnt;

Hence;

35r + 30w = 730 ••••••••(ii)

So we have two equations to solve simultaneously ;

From i; r = 23-w

Substitute this into ii

35(23-w) + 30w = 730

805 -35w + 30w = 730

35w -30w = 805-730

5w = 75

w = 75/5

w = 15 minutes

but r = 23 - w

r = 23 -15

r = 8 minutes

'of' means to multiply

p = .058 x 2375

At noodle & company restaurant, the probability that a customer will order a nonalcoholic beverage is .46. Find the probabil
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

0.0021

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Probability of ordering a nonalcoholic beverage is, P(N)=0.46

Number of samples are n=10

Now, the complement of event 'N' is not ordering a nonalcoholic beverage.

Therefore, P(\overline N)=1-P(N)=1-0.46=0.54

Now, for a sample of '10' customers, the probability of not ordering a non alcoholic beverage is product of their individual probabilities as all these events are independent events.

Therefore, probability that none of the 10 will order a nonalcoholic beverage is given as:

=[P(\overline N)]^{10}\\\\=(0.54)^{10}\\\\=0.0021

Can you pleasee explain how to find a y- intersept??
AveGali [126]

a y-intercept is any point that has an x-value of 0. for example, the ordered pairs (0,6) and (0,-4) would both be considered y-intercepts since any point with an x-value of 0 overlaps with the y-axis.
