1/8 of 48 is 6, so Sarah cut 6 inches. 1/9 of 36 is 4, so Jane cut 4 inches. 6 is greater than 4, therefore, Sarah's piece is longer by 2 inches.

Can you tell de answer?

Yes, it’s D because you would have want to compare both fractions by making them have the same denominator. Since 60 is the least common denominator for 10 and 12 (the denominators), you would convert the fractions by multiplying the numerator and denominator of 5/10 by 6 to get 60. 5/10 would turn into 30/60. Then you would multiply 6/12 both by 5, and then it would turn into 30/60. Now that you have equal fractions, you can guess that they are the same. Therefore, 30/60=30/60! An easier way of doing it would be just simplifying them into 1/2 and comparing them + seeing that they are both 1/2. Hope this helps!

NASA is conducting an experiment to find out the fraction of people who black out at G forces greater than 6. In an earlier stud

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The large sample n = 190.44≅190

The large sample would be required in order to estimate the fraction of people who black out at 6 or more Gs at the 85% confidence level with an error of at most 0.04 is n = 190.44

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Given population proportion was estimated to be 0.3

p = 0.3

Given maximum of error E = 0.04

we know that maximum error

$M.E = \frac{Z_{\alpha } \sqrt{p(1-p)} }{\sqrt{n} }$

The 85% confidence level $z_{\alpha } = 1.44$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{Z_{\alpha } \sqrt{p(1-p)} }{m.E}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.44X\sqrt{0.3(1-0.3} }{0.04}$

now calculation , we get

√n=13.80

now squaring on both sides n = 190.44

large sample n = 190.44≅190

<u>Conclusion</u>:-

Hence The large sample would be required in order to estimate the fraction of people who black out at 6 or more Gs at the 85% confidence level with an error of at most 0.04 is n = 190.44

If a = 0.6 repeating and b = 0.75, then a x b = blank and a/b = blank

atroni [7]

Answer:

a*b = 1/2

a/ b = 8/9

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 0.66666 and b = 0.75

To multiply it we write the decimal numbers in fraction form

a= 0.666666...

Multiply by 10 on both sides

10 a = 6.66666...

a = 0.66666...

Subtract the second equation

9a = 6

divide by 9 on both sides

$a=\frac{6}{9}=\frac{2}{3}$

so 0.6666 = 2/3

Now we convert 0.75 into fraction form

$0.75=\frac{0.75}{1}$

Multiply top and bottom by 100 to remove decimal

$\frac{75}{100} = \frac{3}{4}$

so 0.75 is 3/4

a= 2/3 and b = 3/4

$a*b = \frac{2}{3} * \frac{3}{4} = \frac{6}{12} = \frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{a}{b} = \frac{\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{2}{3} * \frac{4}{3} =\frac{8}{9}$
