Answer:

\huge\boxed{x=28\ ft}

Step-by-step explanation:

If two rectangles are similar, then corresponding sides are in proportion.

Therefore we have the equation:

\dfrac{x}{42}=\dfrac{36}{54}

cross multiply

54x=(42)(36)\\\\54x=1512

divide both sides by 54

\dfrac{54x}{54}=\dfrac{15212}{54}\\\\x=28

The probability distribution of the amount of memory X (GB) in a purchased flash drive is given below. x 1 2 4 8 16 p(x) .05 .10
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

a) E(X) = 6.45

b) E(X^{2} )= 57.25

c) V(X) = 15.648

d) E(3X + 2) = 21.35

e) E(3X^{2} +2) = 173.75

f) V(3X+2) = 140.832

g) E(X+1) = 7.45

h) V(X+1) = 15.648

Step-by-step explanation:

a) E(X) = \sum xP(x)

E(X) = (1*0.05) + (2*0.10) + (4*0.35) + (8*0.40) + (16*0.10)\\E(X) = 6.45

b)

E(X^{2} ) = (1^{2} *0.05) + (2^{2} *0.10) + (4^{2} *0.35) + (8^{2} *0.40) + (16^{2} *0.10)\\  E(X^{2} )= 57.25

c)

V(X) = E(X^{2} ) - (E(X))^{2} \\V(X) = 57.25 - 6.45^{2} \\V(X) = 15.648

d)

E(3X+2) = 3E(X) + 2\\E(3X+2) = (3*6.45) + 2 \\E(3X+2) = 21.35

e)

E(3X^{2} +2) = 3E(X^{2} ) + 2\\E(3X^{2} +2) = (3*57.25) + 2 \\E(3X^{2} +2) = 173.75

f)

V(3X+2) = 3^{2} V(X)\\V(3X+2) = 9*15.648\\V(3X+2) = 140.832

g)

E(X+1) = E(X) + 1\\E(X+1) = 6.45 + 1\\E(X+1) =7.45

h)

V(X+1) = 1^{2} V(X)\\V(X+1) = 15.648

Elise picks 6 pounds of apples.She uses 1/2 pounds to make 1 container of apple sauce. How many containers of applesauce can Eli
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

  Mass of apples = number of containers × mass in each container

                     6 lb = No of containers × ½ lb

No of containers = 6/½  

To divide a whole number by a fraction, invert the fraction and change divide to multiply.

6/½ = 6 × 2/1

Multiply the numerator by the whole number.

6 × 2/1 = 12/1

Simplify the fraction.

12/1 = 12

Elise can make 12 containers of applesauce.
