Answer:

1 in. : 18 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert the 15 ft to inches. 12x15 = 180

So for every 10 inches in length of the model, there are 180 inches in the actual car. 10 in. : 180 in.

10/180 can be simplified to 1/18.

For every inch in the model, there are 18 inches in the actual car.

1 in. : 18 in.

Oh this question is kinda tricky. At first glance it’s 1 : 1.5 but notice the units. The model car is 10 inches long and the actual car is 15 feet long.

I think you know where to go from there, but 15 feet * 12 inches = 180 inches.

10 : 180 simplifies to 1 : 18 inches

What is the slope of the following graph? (write your answer as a fraction unless divided by 1. Do not use spaces in your answer

alexira [117]

The slope of the graph is 4/5

<h3>How to determine the slope</h3>

Using the formula

Slope = Δ y-axis / Δ x- axis

y2 = -4

y1 = 0

x2 = -5

x1 = 0

Slope = $\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

Substitute the values into the formula

<em>Slope = </em> $\frac{-4 - 0}{- 5 - 0}$

Slope = $\frac{-4}{-5}$

Slope = $\frac{4}{5}$

Therefore, the slope of the graph is 4/5

Anya was rowing up the river and noticed it takes longer to row upstream than downstream. She knows that in still water she can

Alenkinab [10]

If the speed of boat in still water iss 9 mph and takes 1.5 miles to go and come 4 miles uptream and downward then the current of the river is 9.24 mph.

Given that the speed in still water be 9 mph, time to travel 4 miles upstream and downward is 1.5 hours.

We are required to find the speed of current of the river.

let the speed of current be c mph.

Effective speed in downstream=9+c

Effective speed in upstream=9-c

Total time=1.5 hours.

Total distance=4 miles.

Time for upstream stream+ time for downward stream=1.5 hours

2/(9+c)+2/(9-c)=1.5

18-2c+18+2c=1.5(9+c)(9-c)

36=1.5(81- $c^{2}$ )

36=121.5-1.5 $c^{2}$

1.5 $c^{2}$ =121.5-36

$c^{2}$ =85.5

c=9.24 mph.

Hence the speed of the current of the river is 9.24 mph.

Find a 92.9% confidence interval for the difference p1−p2p1−p2 of the population proportions.

Hint: For a level of confidence (1−α)⋅100%(1−α)⋅100%, z∗z∗ is the value that leaves an area of (1−α)/2(1−α)/2 to its right in a standard normal distribution

I hope that helps

Identify y. HELP ASAP!

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming there was some info that got left out of this that states somewhere along the line that this is right triangle inscribed in a circle or something like that. That means that angle R is a right angle. Therefore,

53y - 16 = 90 so

53y = 106 and

y = 2
