<h3>Answer: the fraction -8/117</h3>

----------------

First, convert to an improper fraction

3 & 1/4 = 3 + (1/4)

3 & 1/4 = (12/4) + (1/4)

3 & 1/4 = 13/4

The mixed number 3&1/4 turns into the improper fraction 13/4

---------------

-2/9 divided by (3&1/4) = -2/9 divided by 13/4

To divide two fractions, you flip the second one and then you multiply

"-2/9 divided by 13/4" turns into "-2/9 times 4/13" after this happens

Then you multiply straight across. The numerators stick together. The denominators stick together.

numerators: -2*4 = -8

denominators: 9*13 = 117

We end up with the fraction -8/117

This cannot be reduced as there are no common factors (other than 1) between 8 and 117.

When plotting sample statistics on a control chart, 99.7% of the sample statistic values are expected to fall within plus/minus

Blababa [14]

Answer:

By the Empirical Rule, $\pm 3\sigma$

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

The symbol of a standard deviation is $\sigma$ . So

When plotting sample statistics on a control chart, 99.7% of the sample statistic values are expected to fall within plus/minus how many sigma?

By the Empirical Rule, $\pm 3\sigma$

for every 5 tacos,julianna uses 2 cups of shredded cheese. complete the table to show the relationships between the number of ta

jok3333 [9.3K]

For 5 taccos 2 cups cheese is needed.

So 10 taccos is 2*(5 taccos)=2*2 cups cheese =4cups

$\begin{gathered} As\text{ 5 taccos=2cup cheese} \\ 1\text{ tacco=}\frac{2}{5}\text{cup cheese} \\ As\text{5 taccos=2cup cheese} \\ 1\text{ cup cheese=}\frac{5}{2}\text{taccos} \\ So\text{ 10 tacco=10}\ast\frac{2}{5}\text{cup cheese=2}\cdot2=4\text{cups} \\ 10\text{ cup cheese =10}\ast\frac{5}{2}\text{tacco}=5\ast5=25tac\cos \end{gathered}$ $35\text{ taccos}=35\ast\frac{2}{5}=7\cdot2=14\text{ cup cheese}$ $24\text{ cup cheese=}24\ast\frac{5}{2}=12\ast5=60tac\cos$

So to convert taccos to cups of cheese multiply by 2/5 and from cups of cheese to taccos multiply by 5/2.
