At sea, the distance D to the horizon is directly proportional to the square root of the elevation E of the observer. If a perso

<span>The problem says that the distance D to the horizon is directly proportional to the square root of the elevation E of the observer, so:
</span>
 The person who is 36 feet above the water ⇒ √36=6 

 A person 49 feet above the water ⇒ √49=7
<span>
 So, by proportions, you have:

 (7/6)x7.4= 8.63 miles

 Therefore, the answer is: </span><span>a person 49 feet above the water can see 8.63 miles</span><span> </span>

Pls help thank you so much
Rudik [331]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start by "filling up" all of the bigger boxes. 75*14=1050 cupcakes, which when subtracted from the total initial amount leaves 400 cupcakes for the smaller boxes. The smallest multiple of 13 smaller than 400 is 390, which is 10 smaller than 400. Therefore, there will be 10 cupcakes left over, or answer choice C. Hope this helps!

Three machines A, B, and C produce 55%, 25% and 20% respectively. The percentages of defective output are 3.5%, 4.5% and 5.5%. I
pishuonlain [190]

We are given the following information concerning the three production machines;

\begin{gathered} Of\text{ the total production;} \\ A=55\text{ \%}=0.55 \\ B=25\text{ \%}=0.25 \\ C=20\text{ \%}=0.20 \end{gathered}

Also, we are given the percentage of defective output as follows;

\begin{gathered} A=3.5\text{ \%}=0.035 \\ B=4.5\text{ \%}=0.045 \\ C=5.5\text{ \%}=0.055 \end{gathered}

Therefore, if an item is selected randomly, the probability that the item is defective would be;

\begin{gathered} P\lbrack defective\rbrack=(0.55\times0.035)+(0.25\times0.045)+(0.20\times0.055) \\ P\lbrack\text{defective\rbrack}=0.01925+0.01125+0.011 \\ P\lbrack\text{defective\rbrack}=0.0415 \end{gathered}

ANSWER:

The probability that the item is defective would be 0.0415
