Say you wanted to find 13% of 23.

13% = .13

23 • .13 = 2.99

13% of 23 = 2.99

Always divide by 10 first, for example; if it was 10% of 20 you would divide 20 by 10 to get 2. If it was 20% of 40 you would divide by 10 to get 4 then times by 2 to get 8.

Find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs measure 6 and 5
Pavel [41]
A right triangle is a type of triangle which contains a right triangle. To be a right triangle, it should satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem which relates the three sides of the triangle. In this triangle, the longest side is called as the hypotenuse. To determine the hypotenuse, we use the Pythagorean Theorem which is expressed as follows:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

where c is the hypotenuse

We calculate as follows:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c^2 = 6^2 + 5^2
c^2 = 61
c = √61

Therefore, the hypotenuse of the right triangle with sides 6 and 5 would be √61 which, clearly, is longer than the two sides.

A 160-lb man carries a 5-lb can of paint up a helical staircase that encircles a silo with radius 20 ft. If the silo is 90 ft hi
zheka24 [161]

Weight of man and paint = 160 + 5 = 165 total pounds.

Gravitational force is independent of the path taken so we can ignore the radius of the silo.

Work done = total weight x height

The problem says he climbs to the top so overall height is 90 feet

Work = 165 lbs x 90 ft = 14,850 ft-lbs

Radioactive isotopes are commonly used to estimate artifact ages. Let X be the time in years for a Carbon-14 atom to decay to Ni
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

a) 1 / years

b) P ( 5000 < X < 6000) =  0.06222

c) 8267 years

d) T_1/2 = 5730.25 years          

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The decay constant λ = 1 / 8267

- X is an exponential random Variable

Find:

a. What are the units of What are the units of λ?

b. What is the probability the decay time is between 5000 and 6000 years?

c. Compute SD(X).

d. Compute the median decay time. The result is called the half-life of Carbon-14?

Solution:

- The decay constant λ means the rate at which the C-14 atoms decays into N-14 atom. The rate is expressed in units of 1 / year.

- The random variable X follows an exponential distribution which has a probability mass function and cumulative density functions as follows:

                    P ( X = t ) = λ*e^(-λ*t)

                    P ( X = t ) = e^(-t/8267) / 8267

                    P ( X < t ) = 1 - e^(-λ*t) = 1 - e^(-t/8267)

- The probability of the decay time between years 5000 and 6000 years is:

                    P ( 5000 < X < 6000) = 1 - e^(-6000/8267) - 1 + e^(-5000/8267)

                    P ( 5000 < X < 6000) =  0.06222

- The standard deviation of the exponential distribution is given by:

                    SD(X) = 1 / λ = 8267 years

- The median decay time for an exponential distribution is given by:

                    T_1/2 = Ln(2) / λ = Ln(2)*8267

                    T_1/2 = 5730.25 years

How many times does 50 go into 4000
iVinArrow [24]
Well, if you just divide 4000 by 50, you can see that the answer will come out as:
<em><u>80
</u></em>
~TO check: 80 multiplied by 50 would come out to the answer of 4,000.
