Answer:

1 day

Step-by-step explanation:

4 people = 2 days

→ Work out how long 1 person takes

4 people = 2 days

( ÷ 4 ) ( × 4 )

1 person = 8 days

→ Work out how long 8 people can do it

1 person = 8 days

( × 8 ) ( ÷ 8 )

8 people = 1 day

72.3 + (-39.1)

joja [24]

Answer:

72.3 - 39.1 = 4tens - 7ones + 2tenth

Step-by-step explanation:

Give the expression 72.3 + (-39.1)

opening the parenthesis:

= 72.3 + (-39.1)

= 72.3 - 39.1

Breaking the decimal values into place values

72.3 = 7tens + 2units + 3tenth

72.3 = 7(10)+2(1)+3(1/10)

72.3 =70+2+0.3

Similarly for 39.1

39.1 = 3tens + 9units + 1tenth

39.1 = 3(10)+9(1)+1(1/10)

39.1 =30+9+0.1

72.3 - 39.1 = 70+2+0.3 - (30+9+0.1)

72.3 - 39.1 = 70+2+0.3 - 30-9-0.1

72.3 - 39.1 = 70-30+2-9+0.3-0.1

72.3 - 39.1 = 40 - 7 +0.2

72.3 - 39.1 = 4tens - 7ones + 2tenth

A Ferris wheel can accommodate 65 people in 15 minutes. How many people could ride the Ferris wheel in 2 hours? What was that ra

densk [106]

Answer:

520 people in 2 hours

rate = 260 people per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

change minutes to hours

15 minute* 1 hr/60 minutes = .25 hrs

65 people x people

--------------- = ------------------

.25 hrs 2 hrs

using cross products

65 * 2 = .25 * x

130 = .25x

divide by .25

130/.25 = .25x/.25

520 =x

520 people

65 people x people

--------------- = ------------------

.25 hrs 1 hrs

using cross products

65 = .25x

divide by .25

65/.25 = .25x/.25

260 =x

260 people in 1 hour

rate = 260 people per hour

If 40% of a number is 80 what is 25% of that number?

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

25% of 200 is 50

Step-by-step explanation

40% of a number is 80

.40 * n = 80

Divide each side by .4

.40 n/.4 = 80/.4

n = 200

The number is 200

Now lets find 25 percent of that number

.25 * 200 = 50

"A study conducted at a certain college shows that 56% of the school's graduates find a job in their chosen field within a year

KiRa [710]

Answer:

99.27% probability that among 6 randomly selected graduates, at least one finds a job in his or her chosen field within a year of graduating.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they find a job in their chosen field within one year of graduating, or they do not. The probability of a student finding a job in their chosen field within one year of graduating is independent of other students. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

56% of the school's graduates find a job in their chosen field within a year after graduation.

This means that $p = 0.56$

Find the probability that among 6 randomly selected graduates, at least one finds a job in his or her chosen field within a year of graduating.

This is $P(X \geq 1)$ when n = 6.

Either none find a job, or at least one does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.56)^{0}.(0.44)^{6} = 0.0073$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0073 = 0.9927$

99.27% probability that among 6 randomly selected graduates, at least one finds a job in his or her chosen field within a year of graduating.
