Your friend's estimate is wrong because you pay $2.40 for 3/4 pound of grapes, which means 1/4 pound of grapes equals $0.80, you friend wants to any for one pound, so your friend must use 1/4 times 4 equals $0.80 times 4=$3.20 for a pound of grapes

A 5.9-foot-tall-man stands near a 12-foot statue. The man places a mirror on the ground a certain distance from the base of the
jeka94

Answer:

14.24 foot far is the mirror from the base of the statue.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion states that the two ratios or fractions are equal.

As per the statement:

See the diagram as shown below:

Height of a boy = 5.9 foot tall

Height of a statue = 12 foot.

Distance of a boy from the mirror  = 7 feet.

Let x be the distance of the mirror from the base of the statue.

then by definition of proportion we have;

\frac{\text{Height of a boy}}{\text{Distance of a boy from the mirror}}= \frac{\text{Height of a statues}}{\text{Distance of mirror from the base of the statue} }

Substitute the given values we have;

\frac{5.9}{7} =\frac{12}{x}

By cross multiply we have;

5.9x = 84

Divide both sides by 5.9 we have;

x = 14.24 ft

Therefore, 14.24 foot far is the mirror from the base of the statue.

Clyde Cement wants to analyze a shipment of bags of cement. He knows the weight of the bags is normally distributed so he can us
labwork [276]

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, draw a normal distribution plot to use for the analysis of the data. Starting at the mean in the centre. Add one standard deviation for each interval to the right, and subtract one standard deviation for each interval to the right. See attached image. According to the empirical rule, 68% of data lies within one standard deviation of the mean, 95 % of the data is within two st. dev. and 99.7% of the data is within 3 st. dev. of the mean.

From the graph it can be deducted that half of the data will lie below 50, which makes it 50%.

An easier way of determining the answer is to use the definition of a mean. A mean is the number that,when all the data is placed in ascending order, lies right in the middle of all the data.

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

12 dimes and 36 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of dimes be x. Since the number of nickles is three times the number of dimes, the number of nickels is 3x. There are a total of 48 coins, so number of nickels + number of dimes = 3x + x = 4x = 48 -> x =12. So she has 12 dimes and 3(12) = 36 nickels.

I hope this helps!
