A number decreased by 12 is 24.
(by looking at your question, we can see that 'decreased by 12' =  subtract (-) 12)

We can write this as the equation n - 12 = 24, in which n = the number.

Now let's solve for n by using algebraic properties.

        n - 12 = 24
n - 12 + 12 = 24 + 12   (add 12 to both sides to isolate n)
               n = 24 + 12   (the -12 and +12 cancel to 0 on the left side)
               n = 36           (simplify, add 24 and 12)

Therefore the number is 36.

Neko [114]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (C)-0.245 = 2.160(0.205)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

Given that:

The slope = - 0.245

The size sample = n = 15

The standard error = 0.205

The confidence level = 95

The Significance level= α = (100- 95)% = 0.05

Now,

The freedom of degree = n-2 = 15 -2= 13

Thus,

the critical value = t* = 2.16

By applying Excel = [TINV (0.05, 13)]

The Margin of error is = t* (standard error)

=2.16 *0.205

= 0.4428

Jodi is cutting out pieces of paper that measure 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches from a larger sheet of paper that has an area of 1000
jolli1 [7]
8 1/2 or 8.5 x11 = 93.5 square inches thus,
1000 square inches divided by 93.5 square inches
1000/93.5 ~10.695
that mean that Jodi can cut out about 10 pieces of paper measuring 8 1/2 x 11 inches.
