What are the first 12 multiples of 4

A patrolman spends 25% every day completing paperwork. The patrolman’s shift each day is 8 hours. How much of his time does he s

fredd [130]

Assuming the man works 8 hours straight without breaks:

25% is the same as 1/4 of something.

So, we just have to figure out what 1/4 (one quarter) of 8 equals.

You can think of it as a pizza cut into 8 slices. One slice is equivalent to one hour for the patrolman.

If we take away 1/2 (half) of the pizza, we have 4 slices, right? Since we start with 8 slices, half of that equals 4 slices. In other words, 50% (half) of the pizza = 4 slices.

Now, 25% (one quarter) of the pizza will equal half of what is left:

If we know that 50%=4 slices (or 4 hours), then 25% must be 2 slices (or 2 hours).

That's it! 25% of 8 hours = 2 hours.

***So, the patrolman spends 2 hours each day completing paperwork.***

Lets check our work:
We know 8 hours (or 8 slices)= 100%
(We know this because
8 slices = 1 whole pizza, or 100% of a pizza. Similarly,
8 hours = 1 whole shift or 100% of the man's shift ).

So

25% + 25% + 25% + 25% = 100%

If 100% of the mans shift = 8 hours:

2+2+2+2 = 8

It checks out!

Hope this helps!

Directions - For the following problem, write a paragraph proof to justify each step you make. All work must be neat,

nlexa [21]

$$ PS = \frac{4}{3} x$

Solution:

Given PRQ is a triangle.

ST is a line parallel to RQ.

$$PT = x, \ PQ = 3x, \ SR=\frac{8}{3}x$

$TQ=PQ-PT$

$TQ=3x -x=2x$

<u>Triangle proportionality theorem,</u>

<em>If a line parallel to one side of a triangle intersects the other two sides, then it divides the two sides proportionally.</em>

$$\frac{PS}{SR} =\frac{PT}{TQ}$

$$\frac{PS}{\frac{8}{3} x} =\frac{x}{2x}$

Do cross multiplication, we get

$$ PS \times 2x=x \times \frac{8}{3} x$

Divide by 2x on both sides, we get

$$ PS = \frac{4}{3} x$

How do you write 0.63 as a fraction?

tatuchka [14]

Hello!

Answer:

First, write 0.63 as 0.63/1

Then, multiply both numerator and denominator by 10 for every number after the decimal point.

0.63x100/1x100=63/100

so your answer is 63/100 :)

Hope this helps

Karolina [17]

a. The probability that on a randomly selected day, the jail population

is greater than 750,000 is 20.1%

b. The probability that on a randomly selected day, the jail population is

between 600,000 and 700,000 is 43.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

1. The average daily jail population in the United States is 706,242

2. The distribution is normal and the standard deviation is 52,145

3. We need to find the probability that on a randomly selected day,

the jail population is greater than 750,000

4. We need to find the probability that on a randomly selected day,

the jail population is between 600,000 and 700,000

a.

At first find z-score

∵ z = (x - μ)/σ, where x is the score, μ is the mean and σ is the standard

deviation

∵ x = 750,000 , μ = 706,242 and σ = 52,145

∴ z = $\frac{750,000-706,242}{52,145}$ ≅ 0.84

Use the normal distribution table of z to find the area to the right of

the z-value

∵ The corresponding area to z-score of 0.84 is 0.79955

- But we are interested in x > 750,000, we need the area to the

right of z-score

∴ P(x > 750,000) = 1 - 0.79955 = 0.2005

∴ P(x > 750,000) = 0.2005 × 100% = 20.1%

The probability that on a randomly selected day, the jail population is

greater than 750,000 is 20.1%

b.

We will find z-score for 600,000 < x < 700,000

∵ z = $\frac{600,000-706,242}{52,145}$ ≅ -2.04

∵ z = $\frac{700,000-706,242}{52,145}$ ≅ -0.12

Use the normal distribution table of z to find the area between

the two z-values

∵ The corresponding area to z-score of -2.04 is 0.02068

∵ The corresponding area to z-score of -0.12 is 0.45224

- To find P(600,000 < x < 700,000) subtract the two values above

∴ P(600,000 < x < 700,000) = 0.45224 - 0.02068 = 0.4316

∴ P(600,000 < x < 700,000) = 0.4316 × 100% = 43.2%

The probability that on a randomly selected day, the jail population is

between 600,000 and 700,000 is 43.2%
