Answer:

<u>Bob and John can finish the job together in approximately 2.92 hours or 2 hours and 55 minutes</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's recall that the formula for solving this kind of problems is:

T/A + T/B = 1, where T = time working together, A = the time for person A working alone, and B = the time for person B working alone.

Now, replacing with the values we have:

T/5 + T/7 = 1

35 is the Lowest Common Multiple of 5 and 7

5T + 7T = 35

12T = 35

T = 35/12

T = 2.92 (Rounding to the next hundredth) and 0.92 * 60 ≅ 55

T ≅ 2.92 hours (Around 2 two hours and 55 minutes)

*ੈ✩‧₊˚<br> raise the fraction to higher terms as indicated <br><br> 2/3 to twenty-firsts
DIA [1.3K]

The appropriate fraction when the number is raised to higher terms will be 14/21.

<h3>How to compute the fraction?</h3>

It should be noted that when we sat raising that fraction to higher terms, it implies that changing the numerator and the denominator to higher numbers to reflect the fraction.

Here, the given number is 2/3. When it's raises higher, the appropriate fraction will be:

2/3 = x/21

x = (2 × 21)/3

x = 42/3

x = 14

Therefore, the fraction will be 14/21.

A recent survey concluded that the proportion of american teenagers who have a cell phone is 0.27. the true population proportio
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The mean for the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is 0.29

The standard deviation for the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is 0.01435

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean for the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is always equal to the true population proportion, in this case; p = 0.29

The standard deviation for the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is calculated as;

\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }

Using the given values;

p = 0.29

1 - p = 0.71

n = 1000

The standard deviation becomes;

\sqrt{\frac{(0.29)(1-0.29)}{1000} } \\

The s.d becomes 0.01435

The answer is 8
Here's why:
{ ( \frac{( {6}^{7}) \times ( {3}^{3})  }{(  {6}^{6}) \times ( {3}^{4}  ) } )}^{3}  =   \\ ( \frac{6}{3} ) ^{3}  =  \\ \frac{216}{27}  = 8
The exponents are subtracted one from another when divided.
\frac{ a ^{b} }{ {a}^{c} } =  {a}^{b - c}
We can look at the problem this way:
( \frac{6^{7} }{6 ^{6} }  \times  \frac{3^{3} }{ {3}^{4} } ) = (6^{7 - 6}  \times  {3}^{3 - 4} ) =  \\ ({6}^{1}  \times  {3}^{ - 1} )
Since we have the power of -1 on the 3, we apply this rule:
{a}^{ - b}  =  \frac{1}{ {a}^{b} }
Also this rule because we have the power of 1 on the 6:
{a}^{1}  = a
Then we get this:
(6 \times  \frac{1}{3} )^{3}  = ( \frac{6}{3} )^{3}
We apply the rule:
( \frac{a}{b}) ^{c}   =  \frac{ {a}^{c} }{ {b}^{c} }
We get this:
\frac{{6}^{3} }{ {3}^{3} } =  \frac{216}{27}  = 8
