<em>Rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch the Witdth of the monitor is 14.8 inches while the Height of the monitor is 11.9 inches.</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2 />

The aspect ratio is defined as:

<em>"The proportional relationship between the width and height of an image"</em>

It is usually expressed in a mathematical language as:

x:y \\ \\ x: \ Width \\ \\ y: \ Height

So, it is true that:

x:y=5:4 \\ \\ or: \\ \\ \frac{x}{y}=\frac{5}{4} \\ \\ \therefore x=\frac{5y}{4}

In this case, we know that the monitor has a diagonal length (D):

D=19in

So, by Pythagorean theorem:

D^2=361 \\ \\ 361=x^2+y^2 \\ \\ Since \ x=\frac{5y}{4}

D^2=361 \\ \\ 361=x^2+y^2 \\ \\ Since \ x=\frac{5y}{4} \\ \\ 361=\left(\frac{5y}{4}\right)^2+y^2 \\ \\ 361=\frac{25y^2}{16}+y^2 \\ \\ \frac{41}{16}y^2=361 \\ \\ y^2=\frac{261\times 16}{41} \\ \\ y=\sqrt{140.87} \\ \\ y=11.869in

Finding x:

x=\frac{5(11.869)}{4} \\ \\ x=14.836in

<em>Finally, rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch the Witdth of the monitor is 14.8 inches while the Height of the monitor is 11.9 inches.</em>

In a survey of 248 people, 156 are married, 70 are self-employed, and 25 percent of those who are married are self-employed. If
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The probability of selecting a  person which is  self-employed but not married equals 1/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given survey says:

Total number of people surveyed = 248

Number of people married = 156

The number of people are self employed = 70

Now, 25% of people who are married are SELF EMPLOYED.

Now, calculating 25% of 156 , we get:

\frac{25}{100} \times 156 = 39

⇒ out of total 156 married people, 39 are self employed.

So, number of  self employed people but  not married

= Self employed people - Self employed people PLUS  married

=  70  -  39   =  31.

So, the probability that the person selected will be self-employed but not married = \frac{\textrm{The total number of people self-employed but not married}}{\textrm{Total Number of people}} =  \frac{31}{248}  = \frac{1}{8}

Hence The probability of selecting a  person which is  self-employed but not married equals 1/8.

What is 4 minus 1 5/12
klasskru [66]

Answer: 2 and 7/12

Step-by-step explanation: To subtract 4 - 1 and 5/12, first subtract the fractions. Since 4 has no fraction, imagine the fraction 0/12.

Notice however that we can't subtract 0/12 - 5/12.

So, let's rewrite 4 and 0/12 as 3 + 1 and 0/12 or 3 + 12/12 by changing 1 and 0/12 into an improper fraction.

Now we have 3 and 12/12 - 1 and 5/12.

Now we can subtract our fractions 12/12 - 5/12 and we get 7/12. Next we subtract our whole numbers 4 - 1 to get 3.

So 5 - 1 and 5/12 is 2 and 7/12.
