Answer: 5 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to divide the capacity of the bucket (6 1⁄2 gallon) by the amount of gallons that the dip can hold ( 1 1/2)

6 1/2 ÷ 1 1/2 =  

First, we convert to improper fractions

(6x2)+1 / 2 ÷ (1x2)+1 /2 = 13/2 ÷ 3/2

Dividing:

13/2 ÷ 3/2 = (13 x 2 ) / (2x3) = 26/6 = 13/3 = 4.33 times = 5 times ( since in 4 times  the bucket is not filled yet)

If you were to divide 6 1/2 by 1/12 you would get 4.3 (repeating) but since you cant take .3 of a trip to fill an entire bucket and 4 turns wouldn't fill it completely,

Mr meadows would have to take 5 trips

A certain plant runs three shifts per day. Of all the items produced by the plant, 50% of them are produced on the first shift,
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

0.2941 = 29.41% probability that it was manufactured during the first shift.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Defective

Event B: Manufactured during the first shift.

Probability of a defective item:

1% of 50%(first shift)

2% of 30%(second shift)

3% of 20%(third shift).

So

P(A) = 0.01*0.5 + 0.02*0.3 + 0.03*0.2 = 0.017

Probability of a defective item being produced on the first shift:

1% of 50%. So

P(A \cap B) = 0.01*0.5 = 0.005

What is the probability that it was manufactured during the first shift?

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.005}{0.017} = 0.2941

0.2941 = 29.41% probability that it was manufactured during the first shift.

I believe since the definition of perimeter is adding the lengths of all three sides of the angles the, width of the rectangle would be 5, and the length of the rectangle would be 10.
