12.25 pounds of soil  (or 12¹/₄ pounds).

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

<u>Given: </u>

Giovanna, Frances, and their dad each carried a 10-pound bag of soil into the back yard. After putting soil in the first flower bed:  

  • Giovanna's bag was \frac{5}{8} full,  
  • Frances bag was \frac{2}{5} full, and
  • Their dad's was \frac{3}{4} full.  

<u>Question: </u>

How many pounds of soil did they put in the first flower bed altogether?

<u>The Process: </u>

Let us create each diagram for each of their 10-pound bags of soil.

  • Giovanna's: \boxed{\frac{10}{8}}\boxed{\frac{10}{8}}\boxed{\frac{10}{8}}\boxed{\frac{10}{8}}\boxed{\frac{10}{8}}\boxed{\frac{10}{8}}\boxed{\frac{10}{8}}\boxed{\frac{10}{8}} = 10 \ pounds. \boxed{1 \ unit = \frac{10}{8} = 1.25 \ pounds}
  • France's: \boxed{\frac{10}{5}}\boxed{\frac{10}{5}}\boxed{\frac{10}{5}}\boxed{\frac{10}{5}}\boxed{\frac{10}{5}} = 10 \ pounds. \boxed{1 \ unit = \frac{10}{5} = 2 \ pounds}
  • Dad's: \boxed{\frac{10}{4}}\boxed{\frac{10}{4}}\boxed{\frac{10}{4}}\boxed{\frac{10}{4}} = 10 \ pounds. \boxed{1 \ unit = \frac{10}{4} = 2.5 \ pounds}

Now consider the final step.

Let us calculate how many pounds of soil did they put in the first flower bed altogether. After putting soil,

  • Giovanna's bag was \frac{5}{8} full or 5 of 8 units. Hence, Giovanna put 3 of 8 units, or \boxed{\boxed{ \ 3 \times 1.25 \ pounds = 3.75 \ pounds \ }}.
  • Frances's bag was \frac{2}{5} full or 2 of 5 units. Hence, Frances put 3 of 5 units, or \boxed{\boxed{ \ 3 \times 2 \ pounds = 6 \ pounds \ }}.
  • Dad's bag was \frac{3}{4} full or 3 of 4 units. Hence, Dad put 1 of 4 units, or \boxed{\boxed{ \ 1 \times 2.5 \ pounds = 2.5 \ pounds \ }}.

We add up to be \boxed{ \ 3.75 + 6 + 2.5 = 12.25 \ }.

Thus, they put 12.25 pounds of soil in the first flower bed altogether.

<u>Quick Steps: </u>

\boxed{ \ \Bigg(\bigg(1 - \frac{5}{8}\bigg) + \bigg(1 - \frac{2}{5}\bigg) + \bigg(1 - \frac{3}{4} \bigg) \Bigg) \times 10 \ pounds \ }

Least common multiple (LCM) of 8, 5, and 4 are 40.

\boxed{ \ \Bigg(\bigg(\frac{40}{40} - \frac{25}{40}\bigg) + \bigg(\frac{40}{40} - \frac{16}{40}\bigg) + \bigg(\frac{40}{40} - \frac{30}{40} \bigg) \Bigg) \times 10 \ pounds \ }

\boxed{ \ \bigg(\frac{15}{40} + \frac{24}{40} + \frac{10}{40} \bigg) \times 10 \ pounds \ }

\boxed{ \ \frac{49}{40} \times 10 \ pounds \ }

\boxed{ \ \frac{49}{4} \ pounds \ }

\boxed{ \ \frac{48}{4} + \frac{1}{4} \ pounds \ }

\boxed{ \ 12\frac{1}{4} \ pounds \ }

\boxed{\boxed{ \ 12.25 \ pounds \ }}

Madeline uses a mirror on the ground to measure the height of her school building. She walks a distance of 9.5 m from the buildi
Vadim26 [7]

The height of the building is 5.33m.

<h3>How to calculate the height?</h3>

The question is to calculate the height of the building.

Based on the information given, the height will be:

Madeline eye height/Distance from X = Height of building/Building distance from X

1.55/2.75 = x/9.45

x = (1.55 × 9.45)/2.75

x = 5.33 m

Bottling cola A bottling company uses a filling machine to fill plastic bottles with cola. The bottles are supposed to contain 3
erik [133]

Answer:

P(X

And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel:

P(Z

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the amount of ml of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(298,3)  

Where \mu=298 and \sigma=3

We are interested on this probability

P(X

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X

And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel:

P(Z

nignag [31]

Answer:

Both A and B

Step-by-step explanation:

For functions you are just trying to make sure all the x's are different.  

So let's look at A:  The x's there are all different so it is a function

Now let's look at B: The x's there are all different so it is a function.

Both A and B
