<u>Answer:</u>

12.5 feet

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We know that the ratio of the length of a rectangle to its width it 8 to 5.

Given that the longer side of the rectangle is 20 feet, we are to find the length of its shorter side.

Assuming x to be the length of the shorter side, we can use the simple ratio method.

\frac{8}{5} =\frac{20}{x}

x=\frac{5}{8} *20

x=12.5

Therefore, the length of the shorter side is We know that the ratio of the longer side of a rectangle to its shorter side is 4 to 12.5 feet.

Answer: The answer is 12.5 ft.


Step-by-step explanation:  Given that there is a rectangle with ratio of its length to breadth 8 : 5. Also, the longer side of the rectangle is 20 feet. We are to find the length of the shorter side.

Let, '8x' and '5x' be the length and breadth of the rectangle respectively. Since length is the longer side, so we have

8x=20\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{20}{8}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=2.5.

Therefore, width, length of the shorter side will be

W=5x=5\times 2.5=12.5~\textup{ft.}

Thus, the length of the shorter side is 12.5 ft.

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Unemployement\,\,rate=23%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the unemployment rate we have the next expression:

Unemplyment\,\,rate=\frac{Unemployment\,\,people}{Total\,\, labor\,\, force}\cdot 100

We have the next data:

200 million employed

20 million unemployed

40 million umemployed are not  looking for a job

Then the total labor force will be the employed and the unemployed population then de have 260 million

Unemployement\,\,rate=\frac{60million}{260million}\cdot 100

Unemployement\,\,rate=\frac{6}{26}\cdot 100

Unemployement\,\,rate=0.23\cdot 100

Unemployement\,\,rate=23%

Identify the vertical shift, maximum and minimum values of each function
Delicious77 [7]

ANSWER

Vertical shift: 6 units up

Maximum value: 9

Minimum value: 3

EXPLANATION

The given since function is

y = 3(2 -  \sin(x))

Expand and rewrite to obtain,

y = 6 - 3 \sin(x)

Or

y =- 3 \sin(x) + 6

The vertical shift is 6 units up.

The maximum value is 6+3=9.

The minimum value is -3+6=3

Mickey keeps picking playing cards out of a standard deck of 52 cards, hoping that she will
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

03%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this situation Mickey should have drew first 7 cards that are not diamond and then on the 8th attempt she should draw an ace.

Let A be the event of drawing 7 cards which are not diamond and B the event of drawing an ace card. therefore required probability is P(A∩B)=P(A)*P(B)

Now, there are 13 diamonds and 39 other cards. Hence,

P(A)=(\frac{39}{52})⁷=0.1335

After drawing 7 non-diamond cards, the 8th card must be a diamond.Hence,

P(B)=\frac{13}{52}=0.25

Hence, P(A∩B)=P(A)*P(B)=0.1335*0.25=0.033(approximately 0.03,i.e. 3%)

Therefore probability that Mickey will draw her first diamond on the 8th

attempt is 3%
