Sean got 4 over 5 pound of honey from a hive. He calculated the quotient of 4 over 5 ÷ 3 over 8. Which statement shows the quoti

ent and gives the most likely explanation of what Sean was trying to determine?
He can make 2 and 2 over 15 bottles of honey with 3 over 8 pound of honey in each bottle.
He can make 12 over 40 of a bottle of honey with 3 over 8 pound of honey in each bottle.
He can get 2 and 2 over 15 pounds of honey if he divides the honey into 3 over 8-pound portions.
He can get 12 over 40 pound of honey if he divides the honey into 3 over 8-pound portions.

The answer is He can make 12/40 of a bottle of honey with 3 over 8 pounds of honey.The reason is because it kinda look more sense to compare in the question to the 2nd answer

Edgar Anderson earns $300 per week plus 15% commission on all sales over 1,000. if Mr. Anderson's sales for one week are 2,500 w
vredina [299]
Since he only makes commission on sales over $1000, he makes commission on $1500 (we find this by doing 2500-1000.) His commission is 15%, so find 15% of $1500:
.15*1500=225
So we know how makes $225 in commission.

Now we need to add this to his fixed pay to get his total pay:
225+300=525
So his total pay is $525, which is answer 'a' 

Hope I helped, and let me know if you have any questions :)

Which equation is equivalent to<br> y-1= 5(x+2) ?
Agata [3.3K]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simply by opening the brackets ,

=> y - 1 = 5( x - 2 )

=> y - 1 = 5x - 10

=> y - 5x = -9

=> 5x - y + 9 = 0

An elevator has a placard stating that the maximum capacity is 1296 lb long dash — 8 passengers.​ So, 8 adult male passengers ca
Masja [62]

Answer:

There is a 98.26% probability that it is overloaded.

This elevator does not appear to be safe.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

Assume that weights of males are normally distributed with a mean of 170 lb, so \mu = 170

They have a standard deviation of standard deviation of 29 lb, so \sigma = 29.

We have a sample of 8 adults, so we have to find the standard deviation of the sample to use in the place of \sigma in the Z score formula.

s = \frac{\sigma}{8} = \frac{29}{8} = 3.625

Find the probability that it is overloaded because they have a mean weight greater than 162 lb, so X = 162

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{162 - 170}{3.625}

Z = -2.21

Z = -2.21 has a pvalue 0.0174.

So, there is a 1-0.0174 = 0.9826 = 98.26% probability that it is overloaded.

Any probability that is above 95% is considerer unusually high. So, this elevator does not appear to be safe, since there is a 98.26% probability that it is overloaded.
