Answer:

$393.20

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two easy ways to solve this:

1) Use a setup and cross multiply.

First, set up your problem.

<u> $ x  </u>  =  <u>40%</u>

$983    100%

$983 is the total amount, so it is equal to 100%. We're trying to find 40% of it, so we can label the amount as $x. Remember, each side has to be in the same type of measurements (i.e. dollars, percentages, inches, etc.).

Then, cross multiply. You should end up with:

100x = 39,320

Then, simplify.

x = 393.2

x = $393.20

2) Convert the percentage to a decimal and multiply.

First, convert the percentage you're looking for into a decimal:

40% × 100 = 0.4

Then, multiply the decimal with the total sales amount:

$983 × 0.4 = 393.2

                   = $393.20

Drag each measure to a box on the right to match the measure on the left. 5 feet10,560 feet48 inches126 inches 2 miles 123 yards
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

4 feets = 48 inches

2 miles = 10,560 feets

1 2/3 yards = 5 feets

3 1/2 yards = 126 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall :

1 Feet = 12 inches

1 MILE = 5280 feets

1 yard = 36 inches

1 yard = 3 feets

If 1 feet = 12 inches

4 feets will be ; (12 * 4) inches = 48 inches

If 1 mile = 5280 feets

2 miles will be ; (5280 * 2) = 10,560 feets

If 1 yard = 3 feets

1 2/3 yards will be ; (5 /3) * 3 = 5 feets

If 1 yard = 36 inches

3 1/2 yards will be ; (7 /2 ) * 36 = 126 inches

klasskru [66]
If it takes 1/5 hour to fill 60 gallons
than multiply the fraction by 5 to get a whole hour
and multiply the 60 gallons by 5 to get the amount of water created in that hour
60*5= 300 gallons of water in 1 hour

A group of four components is known to contain two defectives. An inspector tests the components one at a time until the two def
Stells [14]

Answer:

when Y = 2, P(2) = 1/6 = 0.167

when Y = 3, P(3) = 2/6 = 0.333

when Y = 4, P(4) = 3/6 = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of possible ways to choose 2 components for defectives out of 4 components = 4C2 = 6

Y can only take values of 2, 3 and 4

So, Probability of Y = P(Y) = 1C(Y-1) / 6

when Y = 2, P(2) = 1/6 = 0.167

when Y = 3, P(3) = 2/6 = 0.333

when Y = 4, P(4) = 3/6 = 0.5
