Answer: 6.62 weeks


Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken by Ryan to build a home = 13.4 weeks

Time taken by Jack to build the same home = 13.1 weeks

Let t be the time to complete a house if they work together, then

\frac{1}{t}=\frac{1}{t}= \frac{1}{\text{time taken by Ryan alone}}+\frac{1}{\text{time taken by Jack alone}}

=\frac{1}{13.4}+\frac{1}{13.1}\\\\=\frac{13.1+13.4}{175.54}\\\\=\frac{26.5}{175.54}

\\\Rightarrow\ t=\frac{175.54}{26.5}\\\Rightarrow\ t=6.62\ weeks

What is 3/4 - 1/5 written in the simplest form
algol [13]

Answer:

11 / 20

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 - 1/5

You cannot perform this if you have two different denominator.

So multiply both pairs with each other's denominator.

3 × 5 = 15        1 × 4 = 4

4 × 5 = 20       5 × 4 = 20

Now we can perform subtraction.

15/20 - 4/20

15 - 4 = 11

11 / 20

Legalize Marijuana, Part II. As discussed in Exercise 6.12, the 2010 General Social Survey reported a sample where about 48% of
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Around 2397 Americans must be surveyed to get a margin of error of 2%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Proportion of US residents who thinks marijuana should be made legal = 48%

\hat{p} = 0.48

We have to construct a 95% confidence interval.

Margin of error = 2% = 0.02

Formula for margin of error =

z_{stat}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96

Putting values, we get,

0.02 = 1.96\times \sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}\\\\0.02 = 1.96\times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.48(1-0.48)}{n}}\\\\\sqrt{n} = 1.96\times \dfrac{\sqrt{0.48(1-0.48)}}{0.02}\\\\\sqrt{n}=48.96\\n = 2397.0816\approx 2397

Thus, around 2397 Americans must be surveyed to get a margin of error of 2%.

A rectangle with the length of 75 miles and width of 25 miles can be used to model building usage at one of Florida's universiti
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

24 students per mile

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question,

Length of rectangle for building university = 75 miles

Width of rectangle for building university = 25 miles

Total area:

Length x Width

= 75 x 25

= 1875 miles²

Only 70% of the buildings at this university are used for instruction

70% of 1875 miles²

70/100 x 1875

= 1312.5 miles²

32,125 students are enrolled at this university

So,

1312.5 miles² = 32,125 students

1 mile =  32,125/1312.5

          = 24 students per mile

Naily [24]

Answer:

We use both median and mean to give us a sense of what the 'average' or middle of a group looks like. It may be the case that the median and mean of a given set of data are very similar. Take the data set above, for example. ... When values are evenly distributed, the mean will be similar to the median
