Answer:

The percentage decrease in the depth is 45%

Step-by-step explanation:

January, lake depth = 1086 feet

august, lake depth = 597.3 feet

The decrease in depth = 1086 - 597.3

= 488.7 feet

Percentage decrease = decrease over January lake depth multiply by 100%

% decrease = (488.7/1086)*100%

=0.45*100%

= 45%

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

c. 0.3421

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability of selecting the biased coin is shown below:

The probability of any coin selected is 1 ÷ 2

The probability in the case when the biased coin chosen & wins 1 ÷ 2 (1 - 0.74)

And, the win probability is 1 ÷ 2  (1 - 0.74) + 1 ÷ 2  (1 - 0.5)

Now the probability of biased or win is

=  {1 ÷ 2 (1 - 0.74)} ÷ { 1 ÷ 2  (1 - 0.74) + 1 ÷ 2  (1 - 0.5)}

= 0.13 ÷ 0.38

= 0.3421

Hence, the correct option is c. 0.3421

Mike can plow a field in 12 hours and his brother Phil can plow it in 15 hours. How long will it take them to plow it if they us
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

6.66 hours, that is, 6 hours and 40 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Mike can plow a field in 12 hours, we plows 1/12 of the field each hour.

If Phil can plow a field in 15 hours, we plows 1/15 of the field each hour.

So if they are working together, they can plow (1/12) + (1/15) of the field each hour, that is:

(1/12) + (1/15) = (5 + 4) / 60 = 9 / 60 = 3 / 20 = 1 / 6.66

So if they work together, they can plow the field in 6.66 hours, that is, 6 hours and 40 minutes.
