Answer:

1.778 times more or 16/9 times more

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Mirror 1: D_1 = 8''

- Mirror 2: D_2 = 6"

Find:

Compare the light gathering power of an 8" primary mirror with a 6" primary mirror. The 8" mirror has how much light gathering power?

Solution:

- The light gathering power of a mirror (LGP) is proportional to the Area of the objects:

                                           LGP ∝ A

- Whereas, Area is proportional to the squared of the diameter i.e an area of a circle:

                                           A ∝ D^2

- Hence,                              LGP ∝ D^2

- Now compare the two diameters given:

                                           LGP_1 ∝ (D_1)^2

                                           LGP ∝ (D_2)^2

- Take a ratio of both:

                           LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ (D_1)^2 / (D_2)^2

- Plug in the values:

                               LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ (8)^2 / (6)^2

- Compute:             LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ 16/9 ≅ 1.778 times more

Esmerelda bought a bag of jelly beans. There were 24 green jelly beans, which made up 8%, percent of all the jelly beans in the
Margarita [4]
So, let's look at the problem once again.

8%, or 8/100 of the bag were green jelly beans.

Let's see what we can do to find out a number of other jelly beans, not including the green ones.

We know that 92% of jelly-beans are not green.

92% is 11.5 times more than 8%
(92/8)

24 (or 8%) times 11.5 = 276

276 - number of jelly beans that are not green.

276 plus 24 = 300.

Answer: 300 jelly beans were in one bag.

A dentist office gives a survey to all wisdom teeth extraction patients asking them to rate the quality of their dental experien
Svetradugi [14.3K]
The correct answer is B. Most patients who have a poor dental experience also have post-extraction complications. This can be shown through the fact that of everyone who had a poor dental experience, 94% said they had post-extraction complication. 94% is obviously <em>most</em>. We can not confidently say that poor dental experiences cause post-extraction problems because we do not know how many people who had a normal or good experience also had problems.

Two spinners are shown. Look at the spinners as you respond to the statements below.
spayn [35]
Answer:
A. false
B. true
C. true
D. false
step-by-step:
A: probability of spinning a 4 on spinner A is 1/4 and probability of spinning a 4 on spinner B is 1/3.
B: there are 2 fours out of 6 possible options so that makes it 2/6, simplify that, it becomes 1/3.
C: 2 and 4 are even numbers so that makes 2/4 possible on spinner A. simplify 2/4 and that becomes 1/2.
D. spinning a 3 on spinner A would make it 1/4 (already simplified). spinning a 3 on spinner B would make it 1/6 (already simplified) therefore spinner A is greater.
