Answer:

Rhea's estimation is unreasonable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Identify what you know:

1) Rhea calculates that she can write 1.25 pages every 2 hours

2) Rhea is calculating how long it would take her to write 6 pages.

Using Rhea's initial calculation, we can figure out roughly, how long it would take her to finish 6 pages.

First we need to divide 6 by 1.25, to figure out how many "2 hour" periods it would take Rhea.

6/1.25 = 4.8

4.8 x 2 = 9.6

It would take Rhea roughly 9.6 hours to finish 6 pages, which is 3.6 hours more than her original estimation. Thus, her estimate is unreasonable.

Can someone help me with this 2x+4y+3z=6 x-2y+z=-5 -x-3y-2z=-7 solve for x,y,z

Flauer [41]

Answer:

x = -7 2/3, y = 1 1/3 and z = 5 1/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+4y+3z=6 ..... 1

x-2y+z=-5 ...... 2

-x-3y-2z=-7 .......3

Add equations 2 and 3 to eliminate x:

-5y - z = -12 .....4

Multiply equation 2 by - 2:

-2x + 4y - 2z = 10

Add this to equation 1:

8y + z = 16 ........ 5

Now add equation 4 to equation 5:

3y = 4

y = 4/3 = 1 1/3.

Now find z by substituting for y in equation 4:

-5(4/3) - z = -12

z = 12 - 20/3

z = 36/3 - 20/3 = 16/3 = 5 1/3.

Finally, we find x by substituting for y and z in equation 1:

2x + 4*4/3 + 3*16/3 = 6

2x = 6 - 16/3 - 16

2x = 18/3 - 16/3 - 48/3 = -46/3

x = 23/3 = 7 2/3.

The equation a = 640s gives the relationship between s square miles and a acres. Pam owns 7.5 square miles of farmland. How many

stich3 [128]

Quantity of farmland owned by Pam = 7.5 square miles.
The other important information given in the question is the equation relating square miles and acres. Using that information, the answer to the question can be easily reached.
a = 640s
= 640 * 7.5 acres
= 4800 acres.
From the above deduction, we can conclude that the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C".

Items produced by a manufacturing process are supposed to weigh 90 grams. The manufacturing procon

Annette [7]

Using the normal distribution, it is found that 0.26% of the items will either weigh less than 87 grams or more than 93 grams.

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.

In this problem:

The mean is of 90 grams, hence $\mu = 90$ .

The standard deviation is of 1 gram, hence $\sigma = 1$ .

We want to find the probability of an item differing more than 3 grams from the mean, hence:

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

$Z = \frac{3}{1}$

$Z = 3$

The probability is P(|Z| > 3), which is 2 multiplied by the p-value of Z = -3.

Looking at the z-table, Z = -3 has a p-value of 0.0013.

2 x 0.0013 = 0.0026

0.0026 x 100% = 0.26%

0.26% of the items will either weigh less than 87 grams or more than 93 grams.
