Answer:

Multiplying decimals is very much like multiplying whole numbers - the major difference is that after you have finished multiplying all the terms (while ignoring the decimal points), you have to add up how many decimal places there are in the factors, and put that many decimal places in the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.multiply by the number in the ones place

2.but a zero below in the ones place to holds its place

3.multiply the number in the tenths place

astraxan [27]

Answer:

1 $\frac{3}{4}$ cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the numbers to decimals, then subtract the amount needed from the amount in the juice container:

4.25 - 2.5

= 1.75

This is equivalent to the fraction 1 $\frac{3}{4}$

So, after Yupin makes the punch, there will be 1 $\frac{3}{4}$ cups of guava juice left in the container

Suppose a computer technical support representative can answer calls from 8 customers in an hour. What is the probability that a

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Option d

Step-by-step explanation:

We need 2 fundamental data to solve this problem.

1.- Average number of clients attended in 1 hour.

2.- Time in which it is expected that a client will be attended.

They tell us that the average number of clients served in an hour is m = 8

They tell us to calculate the probability that the client will be seen in less than 15 minutes.

But the time t in the formula is given in hours.

Therefore we must write 15 minutes according to hours.

We know that $1\ hour = 60 minutes$ .

So:

$15\ minutes[\frac{1\ hour}{60\ minutes}] = 0.25\ hours$ .

Now we substitute in the formula $m = 8$ and $t = 0.25$ to find P.

$P = 1 -e^{-mt}\\\\P = 1- e^{-(8)(0.25)}\\\\P = 1 - e^{-2}\\\\P = 0.8646\\\\P= 86\%$
