Multiplying fractions is simple. You just multiply across so 7/3 x 2/3 is 14/9 and that is the simplest form.
To start, let x represent the width and x+100 represent the length. Since the perimeter of a figure is the sum of all the measurements of the side which can be represented by (x+100)+(x+100)+x+x and since you know your perimeter is 1220, you can set the expression equal to 1220. This would look like this:
(x+100)+(x+100)+x+x=1220
Once you have done that, combine any like terms (combine terms with the same variables and raised to the same power together) which would simplify to this:
4x+200=1220
Now that you have your like terms simplified, subtract 200 from both sides to get 4x=1020 and finally, to solve for x, or find the width, divide both sides by 4 to get x=255.
Now that you have your width, now you must find your length as the question asks to find the dimensions of the rectangular field. To find the length, add 100 to the width, 255 since according to the information given, the length is 100 more than the width. When you add 100 to 255, you should get that your length is 355.
Now that you have your length and width, you can conclude that the dimensions of the field is 255 by 355 feet, which is your answer :)
The question describes a binomial probability with p(h) = p, then p(t) = 1 - p and number of trials (n) = 20
The probability of a binomial distribution is given by
Part A:
The probability of observing 8 heads and 12 tails is given by:
Part B:
<span>You observe more than 8 heads and more than 8 tails, when you observe 9 heads and 11 tails, 10 heads and 10 tails, and 11 heads and 9 tails.
Therefore, the probability of </span><span>observing more than 8 heads and more than 8 tails</span> is given by:
Answer:
Length = 6
Width = 5.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use the variable x to represent the width:
x = width
The question says that the length of the rectangle is "5 ft less than double the width". This length can be represented like this:
2x - 5 = length
To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the width and length, so we are going to write an equation where we multiply the width and length and set it equal to 33 ft^2, which is the area:
(x)(2x - 5) = 33
Now use basic algebra to solve for x:
2x^2 - 5x = 33
2x^2 - 5x - 33 = 0
2x^2 + 6x - 11x - 33 = 0
(2x^2 + 6x) + (-11x - 33) = 0
2x(x + 3) - 11(x + 3) = 0
(2x - 11) (x + 3) = 0
x = 11/2, -3
x either equals 11/2 or -3. However, remember that x represents the width, and you can't have a negative number for a width, so x = 11/2 or 5.5.
Now plug in 5.5 to the length expression and simplify:
2(5.5) - 5
11 - 5 = 6
The length is 6 and the width is 5.5.
