70% of the people were adults

First you subtract 1500-450 = 1050
Then you divide 1050/1500 = .7

The percentage would be about 65% because 25% is 375 and 50% is 750 75% is 1125 so it would be 62% -65%

Scott wants to cover his patio with concrete pavers. If the patio is shaped like a trapezoid whose bases are 11 feet and 13 feet

GenaCL600 [577]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

Scott will need 168 ft² of pavers to cover his patio

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

Scott wants to cover a trapezoid-shaped patio

<u>This means that:</u>

To get the number of square feet of pavers he'll need, we need to get the area of his patio

<u>Area of trapezium id calculated as follows:</u>

$Area = \frac{base_{1}+base_{2}}{2} * height$

<u>We are given that:</u>

base₁ = 11 ft

base₂ = 13 ft

height = 14 ft

<u>We now substitute with the givens to get the area as follows:</u>

$Area = \frac{11+13}{2} * 14 = 168ft^2$

<u>This means that:</u>

Scott will need 168 ft² of pavers to cover his patio

Hope this helps :)

Riko wants to find the distance between the points (−2, −3) and (2, −5). His work is shown. StartAbsoluteValue negative 3 EndAbs

swat32

Answer:

<em>Riko is wrong because she uses the wrong formula.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinate points (-2, -3) and (2, -5)

We are to find the distance between the two points

Using the formula:

D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

From the coordinates x1 = -2, y1 = -3, x2 = 2 and y2 = -5

Substitute

D = √(2-(-2))²+(-5-(-3))²

D= √(4)²+(-2)²

D = √16 + 4

D = √20

D = √4*√5

D = 2√5

<em>This shows that Riko is wrong because she uses the wrong formula.</em>

In Vancouver, British Columbia, the probability of rain during a winter day is 0.42, for a spring day is 0.23, for a summer day

nadezda [96]

Answer:

31.82% probability that this day would be a winter day

Step-by-step explanation:

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: Rain

Event B: Winter day

Probability of rain:

0.42 of 0.25(winter), 0.23 of 0.25(spring), 0.16 of 0.25(summer) or 0.51 of 0.25(fall).

So

$P(A) = 0.42*0.25 + 0.23*0.25 + 0.16*0.25 + 0.51*0.25 = 0.33$

Intersection:

Rain on a winter day, which is 0.42 of 0.25. So

$P(A \cap B) = 0.42*0.25 = 0.105$

If you were told that on a particular day it was raining in Vancouver, what would be the probability that this day would be a winter day?

$P(B|A) = \frac{0.105}{0.33} = 0.3182$

31.82% probability that this day would be a winter day

Find the area of the following rectangle.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

A = $\frac{55}{72}$ yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

the area ( A) of a rectangle is calculated as

A = length × width

= $\frac{5}{6}$ × $\frac{11}{12}$

= $\frac{5(11)}{6(12)}$

= $\frac{55}{72}$ yd²
