Write a real-world problem that can be represented by a rule and a table using division

1 answer:

4 0

A company makes different size square containers. How can you find the length of each side if you know the perimeter of each of the containers? Represent your answer in a table, and right and equation that shows the rule used. You would write the equation x/4=y. I would create an input/output table with the labels x and y. I would then write various lengths for the perimeters and use the rule of dividing by 4 to find the y values.

1. What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 3.4 cm? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. (use 3.14 for pi)

Brilliant_brown [7]

1. The area of a circle is
$a = \pi {r}^{2}$
$\pi = 3.14 \\ r = \frac{3.4}{2} = 1.7$
$a = (3.14) {(1.7)}^{2} \\ = 9.0746$
The area is 9.07 cm^2.

2. The volume of a cube is
$v = {s}^{3}$
$s = 4.5$
$v = {(4.5)}^{3} \\ = 91.125$
The volume is 91.125 m^3

3x + 1 = 5X-13 if anyone knows what to do can they please help

Elza [17]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you look at the equation. Identify the locations of variable terms (both sides of the equal sign) and the constant terms (both sides of the equal sign).

If there are any parentheses, it is a good idea to use the distributive property to eliminate them. Here, there are none.

I like to start by subtracting the variable term with the smallest coefficient. Here, that is 3x, so we add -3x to both sides of the equation.

3x -3x +1 = 5x -3x -13

1 = 2x -13 . . . . . . . . . . . . combine like terms

Now, we have the only variable term on one side of the equal sign. We want it by itself, so we need to make the -13 go away. We do that by adding its opposite to both sides of the equation:

1 +13 = 2x -13 +13

14 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . . combine like terms

Finally, we want the coefficient of 2 in the x-term to disappear. We make that happen by multiplying both sides of the equation by 1/2, the reciprocal of that coefficient.

(1/2)(14) = (1/2)(2x)

7 = x . . . . the solution

It is generally a good idea to check your work by seeing if your solution value satisfies the equation:

3(7) +1 = 5(7) -13 . . . . put 7 where x is in the original equation

21 +1 = 35 -13

22 = 22 . . . . . . x = 7 is the solution

Additional comment

By subtracting 3x from 5x, the result is 2x with a positive coefficient. We could solve the equation just as easily by subtracting 5x from 3x. That result would be ...

-2x +1 = -13

Subtracting 1 would give

-2x = -14

and you would multiply by -1/2 to get x=7. I personally like to avoid having this many minus signs show up in the problem. That is why I choose to subtract the x-term with the smallest coefficient.

According to a study done by a university student, the probability a randomly selected individual will not cover his or her mou

VikaD [51]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

$P(X = 8) = 0.0037$

$P(X < 5) = 0.805$

$P(X > 6) = 0.0206$

I would be surprised because the value is very small , less the 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The probability a randomly selected individual will not cover his or her mouth when sneezing is $p = 0.267$

Generally data collected from this study follows binomial distribution because the number of trials is finite , there are only two outcomes, (covering , and not covering mouth when sneezing ) , the trial are independent

Hence for a randomly selected variable X we have that

$X \ \ \~ \ \ { B ( p , n )}$

The probability distribution function for binomial distribution is

$P(X = x ) = ^nC_x * p^x * (1 -p) ^{n-x}$

Considering question a

Generally the the probability that among 12 randomly observed individuals exactly 8 do not cover their mouth when sneezing is mathematically represented as

$P(X = 8) = ^{12} C_8 * (0.267)^8 * (1- 0.267)^{12-8}$

Here C denotes combination

$P(X = 8) = 495 * 0.000025828 * 0.28867947$

$P(X = 8) = 0.0037$

Considering question b

Generally the probability that among 12 randomly observed individuals fewer than 5 do not cover their mouth when sneezing is mathematically represented as

$P(X < 5 ) =[P(X = 0 ) + \cdots + P(X = 4)]$

=> $P(X < 5 ) =[ ^{12} C_0 * (0.267)^0 * (1- 0.267)^{12-0} + \cdots + ^{12} C_4 * (0.267)^4 * (1- 0.267)^{12-4} ]$

=> $P(X < 5 ) = 0.02406 + 0.10516 + 0.21067 + 0.25580 + 0.20964$

=> $P(X < 5) = 0.805$

Considering question c

Generally the probability that fewer than half(6) covered their mouth when sneezing(i.e the probability the greater than half do not cover their mouth when sneezing) is mathematically represented as

$P(X > 6) = 1 - p(X \le 6)$
