If Bobby claims Peter started with 21 cards, then we'll work this into our equation.

21 - 3 (that he lost) = 18
18 / 2 (the half he gave) = 9

So this means that he did have 21 cards to begin with. Please reply to this with a list of the answers that can/could be checked!

The answers are A, C, and D

A.) Substitute 21 for x in the original equation.

C.) Bobby’s claim that x = 21 is correct.

D.) The result of verifying Bobby’s work is 9 = 9.

If it takes a sloth 10 minutes to climb 7.5 feet what’s its climbing speed in miles per hour
qwelly [4]

Answer:

.009  miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{7.5}{10}\frac{feet}{minutes} * \frac{1}{5280}   \frac{miles}{feet} *\frac{60}{1}\frac{minutes}{hour}

This is the method you should take with unit conversions in general, just set up fractions so the units cancel out, like the 7.5 feet cancels out with the feet in the 1/5280 so miles is left on top.

The times a fire department takes to arrive at the scene of an emergency are normally distributed with a mean of 6 minutes and a
Kitty [74]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the random variable representing the times a fire department takes to arrive at the scene of an emergency. Since the population mean and population standard deviation are known, we would apply the formula,

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 6 minutes

σ = 1 minute

the probability that fire department arrives at the scene in case of an emergency between 4 minutes and 8 minutes is expressed as

P(4 ≤ x ≤ 8)

For x = 4,

z = (4 - 6)/1 = - 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.023

For x = 8

z = (8 - 6)/1 = 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.98

Therefore,

P(4 ≤ x ≤ 8) = 0.98 - 0.23 = 0.75

The percent of emergencies that the fire department arrive at the scene in between 4 minutes and 8 minutes is

0.75 × 100 = 75%

Determine if
Gnesinka [82]

The values of a and b are 1/4 and 1/5 respectively

<h3>How to determine the true statement?</h3>

The function is given as:

16x^2 - 25y^2 = 1

The above function is a horizontal hyperbola.

A horizontal hyperbola that passes through the origin is represented as:

\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1

Rewrite 16x^2 - 25y^2 = 1 as

\frac{x^2}{1/16} - \frac{y^2}{1/25} = 1

By comparison, we have:

a^2 = \frac{1}{16}

b^2 = \frac{1}{25}

Solve for  a and b

a = \frac{1}{4}

b = \frac{1}{5}

Hence, the values of a and b are 1/4 and 1/5 respectively
