<u>Answer:</u>

If the weight of a package is multiplied by two thirds the result is 57.8 pounds. The weight of the package is 86.7 pounds

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that when weight of a package multiplied by two third the result is 57.8 pounds.

Need to calculate weight of the package.

Let’s assume the weight of the package = x

On multiplying 2/3 by weight of package we get

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

So from given information, if the weight of a package is multiplied by two thirds the result is 57.8 pounds. Hence we get,

$\frac{2x}{3} = 57.8$

On solving above expression for value of x, we get

x = 86.7

Hence the weight of the package is 86.7 pounds

The amount of money Mr. Brust made this summer was equal to the $55 he started with and the $15 for every lawn he mowed while st

earnstyle [38]

Let's start by declaring our varibles.

x = number of lawns Mr. Brust mowed

y = total amount of money Mr. Brust made

Let's create our equation.

y = 15x + 55

For part b, we can plug 800 in for y.

800 = 15x + 55

Subtract 55 from both sides.

745 = 15x

Divide both sides by 15

50 = x. Note, I rounded the answer to the nearest integer.

For part c, we can plug 13 in for x.

y = 15(13) + 55

Simplify the right side of the equation.

y = 250

Suppose x follows a continuous uniform distribution from 1 to 5. determine the conditional probability p(x >2.5 | x ≤ 4).

Rainbow [258]

Because the random variable x follows a continuous uniform distribution from x=1 to x=5, therefore
p(x) = 1/4, x=[1, 5]
The value of p(x) ensures that the total area under the curve = 1.

The conditional probability p(x > 2.5 | x ≤ 4) is the shaded portion of the curve. Its value is
p(x > 2.5 | x ≤4) = (1/4)*(4 - 2.5) = 0.375

Answer: 0.375

Answer:

Mixed number: $3\frac{15}{100}$

Improper fraction: $\frac{315}{100}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A mixed number is a number that contains an integer part and a fraction part.

An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator.

$3.15$ can be written as $\frac{315}{100}$ in its fraction form. This would be an improper fraction since the numerator is greater than the denominator.
