Divide 72 in a 2:3:4 ratio

Mathematics
1 answer:
puteri [66]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

16, 24, 32

Step-by-step explanation:

One way of doing this is to find a common multiplier of 2, 3 and 4 such that 2n + 3n + 4n = 72.

Simplifying, we get 9n = 72, and so n = 8.

Multiply 2, 3 and 4 by this multiplier.  We get:

16, 24, 32.

Note that these numerals 16, 24 and 32 add up to 72 and are in a 2:3:4 ratio.

Answer:

  (d)  x = 14√3; y = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The side length ratios in a 30°-60°-90° triangle are 1 : √3 : 2. That is, the short side (y) is half the length of the hypotenuse (28). Only one answer choice matches ...

  y = 28/2 = 14

  x = y√3 = 14√3

_____

It is a good idea to remember these ratios. They show up in a lot of problems.

For a certain population of men, 8 percent carry a certain genetic trait. For a certain population of women, 0.5 percent carry t
Lena [83]

Answer:

(D) 200 men and 2,000 women

Step-by-step explanation:

To have an approximately normal distribution for the difference between proportions, we have to have sample sizes that are big enough to satisfy this conditions:

np>10\\\\n(1-p)>10

For men, we have p=0.08, so we have:

n*0.08>10\Rightarrow n>125\\\\n(1-0.08)=n*0.92>10 \Rightarrow n>11

The sample size for men has to be at least 125 individuals.

For women, we have p=0.005:

n*0.005>10\Rightarrow n>2000\\\\n(1-0.005)=n*0.995>10 \Rightarrow n>11

The sample size for women has to be at least 2000 individuals.

The option that satisfy the requirements for men and women is Option D, as the others don't have enough sample size for women.
