Answer:

The actual length of car is <u>48 feet</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Tiffany sketched a picture of a car she used the scale 2 inches : 12 feet.

In her sketch the car is 8 inches long.

Now, to find the length in feet of the actual car.

Let the actual length of car in feet be x\ feet.

And the length of car in her sketch is 8 inches.

<em>So, the ratio of the scale used by Tiffany as given is 2 inches : 12 feet.</em>

Now, to get the actual length of car by using cross multiplication method:

\frac{2\ inches}{12\ feet} =\frac{8\ inches}{x\ feet}

⇒ \frac{2}{12} =\frac{8}{x}

<em>By cross multiplying we get:</em>

⇒ 2x=96

<em>Dividing both sides by 2 we get:</em>

⇒ 48=x

⇒ x=48\ feet.

Therefore, the actual length of car is 48 feet.

Item 14 A student solves the inequality −6v&gt;42. Each step in the student's solution is shown below. Identify where the studen
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality solved by a student expressed as:

-6v>42

To get v, follow the simple steps

Step 1: multiply both sides by -1

-6v>42

-1(-6v)<-1(42)

6v < 42 (Note that when you multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative sign, the inequality sign will change)

Step 2: Divide through by 6

6v < 42

6v/6 < 42/6

v < 7

Hence the range of values of v are the values of v less than 7

Since we are not  given the options, you can compare the solution given with that of the student to figure out the error. The major error that may happen is the different not changing the inequality sign after multiplying or dividing with a negative value as shown.

Harold and Maude plan to take a cruise together, but they live in separate cities. The cruise departs from Miami, and they each
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

98% probability that at least one of Harold and Maude will make it to the cruise

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent probabilities:

When two events are independent, the probability of the two events happening simultaneously is the multiplication of each probability.

Probability that none makes it to the cruise:

Harold's flight has an 80% chance of making it, so 100 - 80 = 20% probability of missing.

Maude's flight has a 90% chance of making it on time, so 100 - 90 = 10% probability of missing.

Both missing: 0.2*0.1 = 0.02.

2% probability of both missing.

Probability that at least one makes it to the cruise:

Either both miss, or at least one makes it. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 100%. So

2 + p = 100

p = 98%

98% probability that at least one of Harold and Maude will make it to the cruise
