Please someone help me and explain this question to me (the last question starting with a straw)

Each straw is  4-1/8 inches long.
You have one gigantic piece of straw material, 123-3/4 inches long.
How many straws can you cut it up to make ?

 ===>                    (123-3/4)  divided by  (4-1/8)            straws.

Each one costs  $0.015  to make.
So, once you find the number of short straws you have,
multiply

===>                 (the number of short straws) x ($0.015) .

That'll tell you how much it costs to make all of them. 


Now you know how to do it on your own.
If you don't get  30 straws  and  $0.45 , please try again.

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. according to the condition

\frac{price \ radio1}{price \ radio2} =\frac{x}{y}

2. when the both prices are increased the ratio is

\frac{x+20}{y+20}=\frac{5}{2}

3. when the both prices are reduced the ratio is

\frac{x-25}{y-25} =\frac{5}{1}

4. using the equations written in steps 2&3 it is possible to make up the system of the two equations:

\left \{ {{\frac{x+20}{y+20}=\frac{5}{2}  } \atop {\frac{x-25}{y-25}= \frac{5}{1} }} \right.

where x=160; y=52.

5. ration x:y=5.

Of the girls on the Alden Middle School soccer team, % also play on a travel team. How many of the girls on the middle school te
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, so I looked for similar ones and found:

<em>Of the 25 girls on the Alden Middle School soccer team, 40% also play on a travel team. How many of the girls on the  middle school team also play on a travel team? </em>

we can solve this the following way:

25 girls on the soccer team x 40% that play on a travel team = 10 girls form the soccer team that play on a travel team

we can also multiply (25 girls x 40) / 100 = 10 girls

we can check our work by:

10 girls / 40% = 25 girls in total

ozzi

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6% = 0.06

Adding 1 to the interest makes it so it’s added to the original amount.

$900 x 1.06 = $954

Ruby has a bird feeder which is visited by an average of 13 birds every 2 hours during daylight hours. What is the probability t
zalisa [80]

Answer:

62.93%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve it by a Poisson distribution, where:

p (x = n) = e ^ (- l) * l ^ (x) / x!

Where he would come being the number of birds that there would be in 40 minutes, we know that in 2 hours, that is 120 minutes there are 13, therefore in 40 there would be:

l = 13 * 40/120

l = 4,333

Now, we have p (x> 3) and that is equal to:

p (x> 3) = 1 - p (x <= 3)

So, we calculate the probability from 0 to 3:

 p (x = 0) = 2.72 ^ (- 4.33) * 4.33 ^ (0) / 0! = 0.01313

p (x = 1) = 2.72 ^ (- 4.33) * 4.33 ^ (1) / 1! = 0.0568

p (x = 2) = 2.72 ^ (- 4.33) * 4.33 ^ (2) / 2! = 0.12310

p (x = 3) = 2.72 ^ (- 4.33) * 4.33 ^ (3) / 3! = 0.17767

If we add each one:

0.01313 + 0.0568 + 0.12310 + 0.17767 = 0.3707

replacing:

p (x> 3) = 1 - 0.3707

p (x> 3) = 0.6293

Which means that the probability is 62.93%
