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! :)

The lengths of 3-inch nails manufactured on a machine are normally distributed with a mean of 3.0 inches and a standard deviatio
otez555 [7]

Using the normal distribution, it is found that 2.64% of all the nails produced by this machine are unusable.

In a <em>normal distribution</em> with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

  • It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.  
  • After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem:

  • The mean is of 3 inches, hence \mu = 3.
  • The standard deviation is of 0.009 inches, hence \sigma = 0.009.

Nails that are <u>more than 0.02 inches</u> from the mean are unusable, hence:

Z = \frac{0.02}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{0.02}{0.009}

Z = 2.22

The proportion is P(|Z| > 2.22), which is <u>2 multiplied by the p-value of Z = -2.22</u>.

Z = -2.22 has a p-value of 0.0132.

2 x 0.0132 = 0.0264

0.0264 x 100% = 2.64%

2.64% of all the nails produced by this machine are unusable.
