All bags: 22 1/2 pounds
First bag: 6 3/8 pounds
Second bag: 3 1/4 pounds
Third bag: ???

First of all we need to find the common denominator for all the fractions.

22 1/2 = 22 4/8
3 1/4 = 3 2/8

Now we add both known bags and them substract the result from overall the weight:

6 3/8 + 3 2/8 = 9 5/8
22 4/8 - 9 5/8 = 12 7/8

So the answer is C.

Answer: C -12 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

  • <em>Total weight: 22 1/2 pounds </em>
  • <em>Bag 1 = 6 3/8 pounds </em>
  • <em>Bag 3 = 3 1/4 pounds </em>

First, we have to sum the weights of bag 1 and 2:

6 3/8 + 3 1/4=

6 3/8 + 3 2/8 = 9 5/8

Finally we subtract the number calculated to the total weight.

22 1/2 - 9 5/8=

22 4/8 -9 5/8=

21 (8/8 +4/8) - 9 5/8 =

21 12/8 - 9 5/8=

12 7/8

3rd bag weight: 12 7/8 pounds

B: Alex is 12 years older than George.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The ratio of George age to Carl's age is 1:12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of George be 'g'.

Let the age of Alex be 'a'.

Also Let the age of Carl be 'c'.

Given:

The sum of their ages is 68.

So equation can be framed as;

g+a+c=68 \ \ \ \ equation 1

Also Given:

Alex is 12 years older than George.

So equation can be framed as;

a =g+12 \ \ \ \ equation \ 2

Now Given:

Carl is three times older than Alex.

c=3a

But a =g+12

So we get;

c = 3(g+12) \\\\c= 3g+36 \ \ \ \ equation \ 3

Now Substituting equation 2 and equation 3 in equation 1 we get;

g+a+c=68\\\\g+g+12+3g+36=68\\\\5g+48=68

Subtracting both side by 48 using subtraction property of equality we get;

5g+48-48=68-48\\\\5g=20

Now Dividing both side by 5 using Division property of equality we get;

\frac{5g}{5}=\frac{20}{5}\\\\g =4

Hence George age g = 4 \ years

Now Alex age a=g+12 = 4+12 =16\ years

Also Carl's age c=3g+36=3\times 4+36 =12+36 =48\ years

Now we need to find the ratio of George age to Carl's age.

\frac{g}{c}=\frac{4}{48} = \frac{1}{12}

Hence  the ratio of George age to Carl's age is 1:12.

A newsletter publisher believes that less than 58% of their readers own a Rolls Royce. For marketing purposes, a potential adver
quester [9]

Answer:

We don´t have at 95% of confidence, evidence to reject the publisher´s claim

Step-by-step explanation:

Population mean      p₀ = 58 %    or    p₀ = 0,58  

Hypothesis Test:

Null Hypothesis                  H₀           p  =  p₀

Alternative Hypothesis      Hₐ           p  <  p₀

For a significance level α = 0,05  means that CI = 95 % or  CI = 0,95

z(c) = - 1,64

MOE = z(c)* √(p*q)/n

p  -  p₀  / √(p*q)/n  = z(s)

And  that  z(s) is in the acceptance region

|z(s)| < |z(c)|

|z(s)| < 1,64

Then if that so we fail to reject H₀ . We don´t have evidence to reject the publisher´s claim
