Well, the first thing you would do is find like denominators for each fraction.

Since the smallest common term between the two is 40, that will be your denominator for each. Then you would multiply the numerator by the number your denominator was multiplied to get to 40. So, you would end up with 16/40 because 5*8=40 and 2*8=16 and 5/40 because 8*5=40 and 1*5=5.

After that, you would just subtract them.

16/40 - 5/40 = 11/40 and as a decimal that is 0.275. So, Joe has eaten 0.275 more pizza than Jane.

Hope this helps! :)

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The conditions for the approximation have been met

Step-by-step explanation:

Random samples on both cases  and

p∧o proportion of bags packaged on the old machine that are damaged

p∧n sample proportion of bags packaged on the new machine that are damaged

p∧c  =  ( p∧o + p∧n ) / (nO + nN )  

p∧o = 15 %      p∧o =  0,15         nO = 150

p∧o *  nO = 0,15 *150          p∧o *  nO = 22,5

p∧n  = 8 %      p∧n  = 0,08     nN = 200

p∧n*nN  = 0,08 * 200     p∧n*nN  = 16

Both  p∧n*nN  and   p∧o *  nO    are bigger than 5

Therefore both samples are big enough for the approximation of the binomial distribution to normal distribution

)A spinner is divided into sections of equal size, of which some are red, some are blue, and the remaining are green. The probab
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of the arrow landing on the green section is a 40% chance

This is because there are only 3 sections where one is 50 and the other is 10

To find the green we can create an equation, where x = green section

50 + 10 + x = 100

The equation equals 100 because that's the highest the percentage will go in probability, unless we were told otherwise

60 + x = 100

x = 100 - 60

x = 40

You are building a scale model of a fishing boat. The boat is 62 ft long and 23 ft wide. The
Temka [501]

The wide of the model should be approximately 5.194 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

You are building a scale model of a fishing boat

  • The boat is 62 ft long
  • The boat is 23 ft wide
  • The model will be 14 in long

We need to find how wide should it be

∵ The boat is 62 feet long

∵ The model of the boat is 14 inches long

- That means 14 inches represents 62 feet

By using the ratio method

→ Actual (ft)    :    Model (in)

→ 62               :    14

→ 23               :     x

By using cross multiplication

∵ 62 × x = 23 × 14

∴ 62 x = 322

- Divide both sides by 62 to find x

∴ x ≅ 5.194

∵ x represents the wide of the model

∴ The wide of the model is approximately 5.194 inches

The wide of the model should be approximately 5.194 inches
