let length of one piece = x

length of other piece = 236-x

one piece is three times the length of the other

x=3(236-x)

x=708-3x

4x=708

x=177

so first piece is 177 inches long and second piece is (236-177)= 59 inches long

Jade and Ali set the alarms on their phones to sound at 7.15 am.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

9:15 am

Step-by-step explanation:

Alarms sound at 7:15 am

Alarm frequencies are 40 min and 60 min

Since 40= 20*2 and 60= 20*3, the overlapping frequency is:

20*2*3= 120 min = 2 hours

So next time both alarms sound at 7:15 am + 2 hours = 9:15 am

Answer:

a) Because this asks about the radius and height, I assume that we are talking about a cylinder shape.

Remember that for a cylinder of radius R and height H the volume is:

V = pi*R^2*H

And the surface will be:

S = 2*pi*R*H + pi*R^2

where pi = 3.14

Here we know that the volume is 1000cm^3, then:

1000cm^3 = pi*R^2*H

We can rewrite this as:

(1000cm^3)/pi = R^2*H

Now we can isolate H to get:

H = (1000cm^3)/(pi*R^2)

Replacing that in the surface equation, we get:

S = 2*pi*R*H + pi*R^2

S = 2*pi*R*(1000cm^3)/(pi*R^2) + pi*R^2

S = 2*(1000cm^3)/R + pi*R^2

So we want to minimize this.

Then we need to find the zeros of S'

S' = dS/dR = -(2000cm^3)/R^2 + 2*pi*R = 0

So we want to find R such that:

2*pi*R = (2000cm^3)/R^2

2*pi*R^3 = 2000cm^3

R^3 = (2000cm^3/2*3.14)

R = ∛(2000cm^3/2*3.14) = 6.83 cm

The radius that minimizes the surface is R = 6.83 cm

With the equation:

H = (1000cm^3)/(pi*R^2)

We can find the height:

H = (1000cm^3)/(3.14*(6.83 cm)^2) = 6.83 cm

(so the height is equal to the radius)

b) The surface equation is:

S = 2*pi*R*H + pi*R^2

replacing the values of H and R we get:

S = 2*3.14*(6.83 cm)*(6.83 cm) + 3.14*(6.83 cm)^2 = 439.43 cm^2

c) Because if we pack cylinders, there is a lot of space between the cylinders, so when you store it, there will be a lot of space that is not used and that can't be used for other things.

Similarly for transport problems, for that dead space, you would need more trucks to transport your ice cream packages.

Using the normal distribution and the central limit theorem, it is found that there is a 0.0166 = 1.66% probability of a sample proportion of 0.59 or less.

In a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.

After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.

By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sampling proportions of a proportion p in a sample of size n has mean $\mu = p$ and standard error $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1 - p)}{n}}$
