If a snail crawls 12 centimeters per hour, how long will it take for the snail to travel 1 meter

Answer: 8 1/3 hours or 500 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Keep in mind that there are 100 centimeters in a meter.

The snail moves at a pace of 12 cm/h, and needs to go 100 cm. You can just divide 100/12 to get 8 1/3, which is how many hours (groups of 12 cm) it takes for the snail to travel 100 cm (1 meter).

If necessary, you can also multiply 8 1/3 by 60 to get the number of minutes the snail takes. 8 times 60 is 480, and 1/3 of an hour is 20, so add 480+20 to get 500 minutes.

Which inverse operation would be used to verify the following equation? 102 ÷ 3 = 34

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

An inverse operations is the reverse of the equation. For example, since it's 102 ÷ 3 = 34, to get the inverse you would take the opposite sign of "÷" and make it "×," while changing the equal sign to make the statement true. The inverse operation used to verify this is 102 = 3 × 34

8.52 The heights of 2-year-old children are normally distributed with a mean of 32 inches and a standard deviation of 1.5 inches

sweet [91]

Answer:

Heights of 29.5 and below could be a problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. 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, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The heights of 2-year-old children are normally distributed with a mean of 32 inches and a standard deviation of 1.5 inches.

This means that $\mu = 32, \sigma = 1.5$

There may be a problem when a child is in the top or bottom 5% of heights. Determine the heights of 2-year-old children that could be a problem.

Heights at the 5th percentile and below. The 5th percentile is X when Z has a p-value of 0.05, so X when Z = -1.645. Thus

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

$-1.645 = \frac{X - 32}{1.5}$

$X - 32 = -1.645*1.5$

$X = 29.5$

Heights of 29.5 and below could be a problem.

Which correlation coefficient will most likely describe the relationship between frequency of teeth brushing and the number of c

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The correct approach is "-62". A further explanation is described below.

Explanation:

A dependent variable could be seen since the blackheads become triggered whenever some substance or material is deposited between some of the teeth.
Humans don't brush their teeth frequently, but there is still a significant possibility of decay, so cavities differ depending upon whether the specific teeth become brushed.
