Change in level is given by :

C = increase in level - decrease in level.

Now,

Decrease in level in March is 2 1/4 = 9/4 inches.

Increase in level in April is 1 5/8 = 13/8 inches.

Putting value of these in above equation, we get :

C = 13/8 - 9/4

C = 13/8 - 18/8

C = -5/8 inches

Therefore, the overall level after April will decrease by 5/8 inches.

Hence, option 4. is correct.

The tallest living man at one time had a height of 262 cm. The shortest living man at that time had a height of 68.6 cm. Heights
AysviL [449]

Answer:

more the z-score more will be the extreme. therefore tallest man has high extreme

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for z-score: \frac{X-\mu }{\sigma}

where

X is height of tallest man

μ mean height

σ is standard deviation

z score for tallest is

z-score = \frac{ 262 - 175.32}{8.17} = 10.60

similarly for shortest man

z-score = \frac{68.6 - 175.32}{8.17} = - 13.06

more the z-score more will be the extreme. therefore tallest man has high extreme

Chevy has some yarn that he wants to use to make hats and scarves. Each hat uses 0.20.20, point, 2 kilograms of yarn and each sc
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The system of equation that represent this situations are;

\left \{ {{h+s=15} \atop {0.2h+0.1s=2}} \right.

Also 5 hats and 10 scarves can be prepared from 2 kg of yarn.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of hat Chevy makes be h.

Also Let number of scarves Chevy makes be s.

Given:

Total Amount of yarns = 2 kg

Total number of items = 15

Since Items need to make are hat and scarves.

Hence the equation can be represented as;

h+s=15 \ \ \ \ equation \ 1

Again Given:

Each hat uses 0.2 kilograms of yarn.

each scarf uses 0.1 kilograms of yarn.

Hence the equation can be represented as;

0.2h+0.1s=2 \ \ \ \ \ equation \ 2

Hence the system of equation that represent this situations are;

\left \{ {{h+s=15} \atop {0.2h+0.1s=2}} \right.

Now Solving these to find number of hats and number of scarves.

Multiplying equation 2 with 10 we get;

10(0.2h+0.1s)=2\times 10\\10\times0.2h+10\times0.1s=20\\2h+s =20 \ \ \ \ \ equation \ 3

Now Subtracting equation 1 from equation 3 we get;

(2h+s)- (h+s) =20-15\\2h+s-h-s=5\\h= 5

Now Substituting the value of h in equation 1 we get;

h+s= 15\\5+s =15\\s=15-5\\s=10

Hence 5 hats and 10 scarves can be prepared from 2 kg of yarn.
