Given that a:b=8:5 b:c=3:4 find the ratio a:b:c

1 answer:

4 0

A:b = 8:5 b:c = 3:4
since both sides have b. make b the same. multiply the left by the right side b value of 3 and multiply the right by the left side b value of 5.
3(a:b) and 5(b:c)
3 (8:5) and 5(3:4)
24:15 15:20
now that both sides have the same b value
a:b:c = 24:15:20

The heights of the trees in a forest are normally distributed, with a mean of 25 meters and a standard deviation of 6 meters. Wh

Alla [95]

Answer:

2.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to convert x into z distribution is

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

Where z is the test statistic

x is what we are looking for (in this case 37)

$\mu$ is the mean (in this case, it is 25)

$\sigma$ is the standard deviation (we have 6)

Plugging these into the formula, we get:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\z=\frac{37-25}{6}\\z=2$

Thus we can say we want $P(z\geq 2)$

Note: $P(z\geq a)=1-P(z\leq a)$

The table given is for any z where $P(z\leq a)$

Thus, now we have:

$P(z\geq 2)\\=1-P(z\leq 2)\\=1-0.9772\\=0.0228\\$

0.0228 into percentage is 0.0228 * 100 = 2.28%

Rounded, we get 2.3%

Third answer choice is right.

Can't figure it out!!

$\bf slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies

\begin{array}{llll}

\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
f(x)= \cfrac{1}{x} \qquad 
\begin{cases}
x_1=2\\
x_2=b
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(b)-f(2)}{b-2}=-\cfrac{1}{10}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{\frac{1}{b}-\frac{1}{2}}{b-2}=-\cfrac{1}{10}\implies 
\cfrac{\frac{2-b}{2b}}{b-2}=-\cfrac{1}{10}\implies \cfrac{2-b}{2b}=-\cfrac{b-2}{10}
\\\\\\
$

$\bf \cfrac{2-b}{2b}=\cfrac{2-b}{10}\implies 20-10b=4b-2b^2\impliedby cross-multiplying
\\\\\\
2b^2-4b-10b+20=0\implies 2b^2-14b+20=0
\\\\\\
b^2-7b+10=0\implies 
(b-2)(b-5)=0\implies b=
\begin{cases}
\boxed{5}\\
2
