Let x be the greater number.

x+(x-2)=44

2x-2=44

2x=46

x=23.

Therefore, the greater of the two is 23.

Assume that the average healthy body temperature is 98.249 degrees and the standard deviation is 0.733 degrees. How many standar
Leno4ka [110]

The standard deviation is 1.43 below the mean

<h3>How to determine the number of standard deviation?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Mean = 98.249

Standard deviation = 0.733

x = 97.2

To calculate the number of standard deviation below the mean, we use

x = \bar x - n\sigma

So, we have:

97.2 = 98.249 - n * 0.7333

Evaluate the like terms

-1.049  =- n * 0.7333

Divide both sides by -0.733

n =1.43

Hence, the standard deviation is 1.43 below the mean

The surface areas of two similar figures are 25 in2 and 36 in2. If the volume of the smaller figure is 250 in3, what is the volu
Slav-nsk [51]
Since the figures are similar, we can establish a rule of three as follows.
We know that the area of the smaller figure is 25in^{2}, and its volume is 250in^{3}. We also know that the area of the larger figure is 36in^{2}; since we don't now its volume, lets represent it with X:
\frac{25in^{2}----\ \textgreater \ 250in^{3}}{36in^{2}----\ \textgreater \ Xin^{3}} 
\frac{25}{36} = \frac{250}{X}
X= \frac{(250)(36)}{25}
X=360

We can conclude that the volume of the larger figure is 360in^{3}; therefore, the correct answer is a.
