Sean bought 68 3/4 inches of rope . How many 15-inches ropes can he make from it

2 answers:

6 0

Length of rope bought by Sean = 68 3/4 inches
 = 275/4 inches
Then
The number of 15 inch rope that can be made by Sean = (275/4)/15
 = 275/(4 * 15)
 = 275/60
 = 4.58
So we can see from the above deduction that Sean can make 4 complete 15 inches ropes and there will be 0.58 inches of rope excess. I hope the procedure and the method of solving is absolutely clear to you. This is the easiest way to get to the solution for such problems.

I first divided 3/4 tk her 0.75
I then got 68.75 as the inches of rope.

If you then divide 68.75/15
you get 4.58333.....

Sean can make 4.58 - 15inch ropes

Through (-3, 2) parallel to y = -2x-1

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

y = - 2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - 2x - 1 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 2

Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 3, 2 ) into the partial equation

2 = 6 + c ⇒ c = 2 - 6 = - 4

y = - 2x - 4 ← equation of parallel line

Suppose a - b = 0a−b=0a, minus, b, equals, 0. Which one of these expressions equals a+ba+ba, plus, b?

Lelu [443]

First we have the following equation:
a - b = 0
We clear one of the variables depending on the other:
a = b
Therefore we have to for the following expression:
a + b
We can substitute one of the variables, obtaining:
a + a = 2a
Equivalently:
b + b = 2b
Answer:
a + b = 2a
or
a + b = 2b

An inspector samples four PC’s from a steady stream of computers that is known to be 12% nonconforming. What is the probability

yarga [219]

Answer: 0.067

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial distribution formula :-

$P(X)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$ , here P(x) is the probability of getting success in x trials , n is total number of trials and p is the probability of getting success in each trial.

Given : n = 4 , p = 12 % = 0.12 and x =2

Then , $P(2)=^4C_2(0.12)^2(1-0.12)^{4-2}$

$\Rightarrow\ P(2)=\dfrac{4!}{2!2!}(0.12)^2(0.88)^2=0.06690816\approx0.067$

∴ The probability of selecting two nonconforming units in the sample = 0.067

Solve using elimination 3x-4y=-14 and 3x+2y=-2 (2,2) (-2,-2) (-2,2) (2,-2)

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer: (-2,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-4y=-14

2(3x+2y=-2)

3x-4y=-14

6x+4y=-4

9x=-18

x=-2

3(-2)-4y=-14

-6-4y=-14

-4y=-8

y=2
