Answer:

Let x be the first piece, y the 2nd, Z the 3rd

You know all of the pieces together make 24 thus,

24 = x + y + z

The second piece is 2 times longer than the 1st so,

y = 2x

The 3rd is 5 times longer

z = 5x

Replace them in the equation of the beginning

24 = x + 2x + 5x

24 = 8x

x = 3 (First piece)

y = 6 (Second Piece)

z = 15 (Third Piece)

Answer: first piece = 3 feet

Second piece = 6 feet

Third piece = 15 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total length of the siding is 24 feet.

It is cut into three pieces so that the second piece is twice as long as the first piece. If x represents the length of the first​ piece, then the length of the second piece is 2x.

If the third piece is five times as long as the first piece, then the length of the third piece would be

5x. Therefore,

x + 2x + 5x = 24

8x = 24

x = 24/8

x = 3 feet

Length of the second piece = 2 × 3 = 6 feet.

Length of the third piece = 5 × 3 =

15 feet.

KiRa [710]

Answer:

Since 95% confidence interval contains 0 we conclude at 95% confidence level that the two means are equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a  fast food study a researcher finds that mean sodium content of 32 Wendy's fish sandwiches is 1080 milligrams with a standard deviation of 75 milligrams. The mean sodium content of 39 Long John Silver's fish sandwiches is 1120 milligrams with a standard deviation of 100 milligrams

H0: The two means are equal

Ha: The two means are not equal

(Two tailed test at 5% level)

Variable A Variable B

Mean 1080.00 1120.00

SD 75.00 100.00

SEM 13.26 16.01

N 32 39

95% CI: -82.65 to 2.65

Since 95% confidence interval contains 0 we conclude at 95% confidence level that the two means are equal.

A triangle has sides measuring 7 centimeters and 13 centimeters that form an angle measuring 44°. Which of these is CLOSEST to t
Oliga [24]

Answer:

9.3 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length of the third side of the triangle is c, then according to the Law of Cosines, c2 = 72 + 132 – 2(7)(13)(cos 44°). The value of c2 can be simplified to approximately 49 + 169 – 130.9198, or 87.0802, using a calculator. By taking the square root of 87.0802, the length of the third side of the triangle comes out to be approximately 9.3 centimeters.

vladimir2022 [97]
I don't know what this question is asking exactly, but if i am right, it is asking for the ratio of heads flipped to tails flipped. If this is correct, then the ratio would be 24 to 8. My reasoning for this is, it already tells you that you have 8 times that tails was flipped, and all you have to do to figure out the amount of times heads if flipped it to subtract: 32-8=24, so that means that heads was flipped a total of 24 times. The last thing that you have to do is to put it into a ratio, and in the order it gives you initially, which would make the answer (3 ways):

1)   24 to 8
2)   24 : 8
3)   24/8

I hope this helps you.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]
A light bulb distributor was given a study from an LED bulb manufacturer showing that LED light bulbs are better for the environment than traditionalbulbs. Is there an incentive for this study to be biased? Why or why not?

<span>Yes, because the LED bulb manufacturer may benefit from the survey results.
</span>
If the light bulb distributor will decide get more stock of LED bulb due to the study given by the LED company, then, the LED company will benefit from it.
