<h3>Answers:</h3><h3>x = 1 or x = 16</h3>

======================================

Work Shown:

Draw out a rectangle that is 32 units wide horizontally and 8 units tall vertically.

Then draw out another rectangle that is 4 meters wide horizontally and x meters tall vertically.

The horizontal and vertical sides pair up to form these fractions: 32/4 and 8/x

Set the fractions equal to one another. Solve for x

32/4 = 8/x

32x = 8*4 ... cross multiply

32x = 32  

x = 32/32 ... divide both sides by 32

x = 1

-----------------------

Somewhere else on your paper, draw the same 32 by 8 rectangle to make 32 the horizontal component

Next to this rectangle, draw a rectangle that has x as the horizontal part and 4 as the vertical. Note the swap here.

We now have this equation to solve for

32/x = 8/4

once again, note the swap

Let's solve for x

32/x = 8/4

32*4 = 8*x

128 = 8x

8x = 128

x = 128/8

x = 16

Standard normal curve between z=.42 and z=1.92<br> a= .6902<br> b= .3098<br> c= .1902<br> d= .8098

The correct answer is Choice B: 0.3098.

To find the answer, you have to use a normal distribution table. Look up the percents for each z-score and subtract them to find the region between.

z = 1.92 the percent is 0.9726

z = 0.42 the percent is 0.6628

0.9726 - 0.6628 = 0.3098

What interest is needed to earn $137.50 on a deposit of $500 for five years if it earns simple interest?
sineoko [7]

Answer:

5.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Simple interest =  $137.50

Principal= $500

time = 5 years

We want to find the rate  R

Simple interest= PRT/100

137.50 = 500*R*5/100

137.50=2500R/100

cross multiply

137.5*100= 2500R

13750= 2500R

divide both sides by 2500

R= 13750/2500

R=5.5%

Hence the rate is 5.5%

How can you actually divide numbers without subtraction?
Tamiku [17]

#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h>

// Function to perform division (x / y) of two numbers x and y. // without using division operator in the code. int divide(int x, int y)

{ // handle divisibility by 0. if (y == 0)

{ printf("Error!! Divisible by 0"); exit(1);

} // store sign of the result.

int sign = 1; if (x * y < 0)
