Answer:

... 0.7 . . . or 0.67 . . . or 0.667 . . . or 0.6667 . . . or ...

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 is a repeating decimal: 0.66666... Round where you like. The rounding is usually in the 2nd or 3rd decimal place, depending on the accuracy needed.

... 0.67 or 0.667 . . . . . the decimal fraction of dogs

_____

<em>Comment on wording</em>

The question asks for the "number of dogs". In the problem statement, we're told that number is 2 (out of 3). Actually, it can be any even integer number (out of 3/2 that many), up to 2/3 of the total dog population (which is estimated at over 520 million).

Had the problem asked for <em>the fraction of dogs</em>, then an appropriate answer is 0.67.

kiruha [24]
Standard deviation would be the best measurement of variance.  Most of the numbers are between 91 and 89 and are thus very close together and most of the data would be within that small range. The outlier of 60 makes the rance variance go from 60 to 91 when all but 6 percent of the class can be represented between 91 and 89.

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the parenthesis

2*x = 2x

2*5 = 10

2x-10 = 12

Because we subtract 10 to get 12, we add 10 to see the 2x

12+10 = 22

Now 2x = 22

2x=22

2x / 2 = 22 / 2

x=11

If the perimeter of a regular pentagon can be expressed as 10s - 20, determine the length of each side.
dedylja [7]
Regular pentagon means the shape with 5 sides which their lengths are equal to each other. 

so, if the total perimeter of the pentagon is 10s - 20, 
we can find the length of each side by dividing it by 5.

(10s - 20) / 5

we can expand this equation by dividing each number in the bracket by 5

= 2s - 4

Therefore, the answer should be D.

Sin α = 21/29, α lies in quadrant II, and cos β = 15/17, β lies in quadrant I Find sin (α - β).
Sever21 [200]
\sin(\alpha-\beta)=\sin\alpha\cos\beta-\cos\alpha\sin\beta

\sin\alpha=\dfrac{21}{29}\implies \cos^2\alpha=1-\sin^2\alpha=\dfrac{400}{841}

Since \alpha lies in quadrant II, we have \cos\alpha, so

\cos\alpha=-\sqrt{\dfrac{400}{841}}=-\dfrac{20}{29}

\cos\beta=\dfrac{15}{17}\implies\sin^2\beta=1-\cos^2\beta=\dfrac{64}{289}

\beta lies in quadrant I, so \sin\beta>0 and

\sin\beta=\sqrt{\dfrac{64}{289}}=\dfrac8{17}

So

\sin(\alpha-\beta)=\dfrac{21}{29}\dfrac{15}{17}-\left(-\dfrac{20}{29}\right)\dfrac8{17}=\dfrac{475}{493}
