An acre has 4840 yd², and since a yard is 3 feet, a (yd)² is (3 ft)², or 3² ft² or 9 ft².

how many ft² are there in an acre?  well, in 4840 yd² there are 4840 * 9 ft².

this golf course is 320 in area, since there are (4840 * 9) ft² in one acre, then 320 acres will be (320 * 4840 * 9) ft².

how many sections of 10,000 ft² are there? well, (320 * 4840 * 9) / 10000.

every 10000 ft² section is getting 40lbs of fertilizer, so the total amount of fertilizer is [ (320 * 4840 * 9) / 10000 ] * 40.

how many tons is that?  well, there are 2000lbs in a ton, thus that'd be
[ [ (320 * 4840 * 9) / 10000 ] * 40 ] / 2000.

What is the definition of math?
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In simpler words mathematics is the study of numbers , quantities, or shapes.

It is the science of structure, order, and relation that has evolved from elemental practices of counting, measuring, and describing the shapes of objects. It deals with logical reasoning and quantitative calculation, and its development has involved an increasing degree of idealization and abstraction of its subject matter.

Math is all around us, in everything we do. It is the building block for everything in our daily lives, including mobile devices, architecture (ancient and modern), art, money, engineering, and even sports...

The mayor is interested in finding a 95% confidence interval for the mean number of pounds of trash per person per week that is
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

A. <u>Normal</u>

B. <u>30.1</u>, <u>32.9</u>

C. <u>95</u>, <u>5</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The sampling distribution follows a <u>normal</u> distribution

Given that the sample size is large, we have that the sample distribution follows a normal distribution according to the central limit theorem

B. The 95% confidence interval is given as follows;

CI=\bar{x}\pm z \times \dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

The number of residents in the study, n = 120 residents

The sample mean, \overline x = 31.5 pounds

The standard deviation, s = 7.8 pounds

The z-value for 95% confidence level, z = 1.96

Therefore, we get;

C.I. = 31.5 ± 1.96 × 7.8/√(120)

The 95% C.I. ≈ 30.1 ≤ \overline x ≤ 32.9

Therefore, we have that with 95% confidence, the population mean number of pounds per person per week is between <u>30.1</u> and <u>32.9</u>

C. Therefore, according to the central limit theorem, about <u>95</u> percent of the groups of 120 will contain the true population mean number of pounds of trash generated per person per week and about <u>5</u> percent will not contain the true population mean number of pounds of trash generated per person per week.

yan [13]
The answer is 170 centimeters. 

The prefix centi means 100. If you want to convert meters to centimeters, simply multiply by 100! For converting centimeters into meters, just divide by 100. Good luck, hope this helps!

Write the equation of the line with a slope of 1/2 that passes through the point (-6,10)​
Katen [24]

Answer:

An equation is

y =  \frac{1}{2} x + 13

.

Step-by-step explanation:

☆Since since we're given the slope, all we need to do is find the y-intercept.

☆The slope-intercept formula is: y = mx + b.

☆We are going to plug in according to the formula.

y = mx + b \\  \\ 10 =  \frac{1}{2} ( - 6) + b \\ 10 =  - 3 + b \\  \frac{ + 3 =  + 3 \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: }{13 = b \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: }

☆We have everything we need, so now we put it together.
