Answer:

It will take Machine A 20 additional minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have get the rate of work per hour, Machine A builds 1/2 of a car per hour, while Machine B builds 1/3 of a car per hour.

Using this we can determine the amount of work that has been done so far in one hour before Machine B broke down:

1/2 + 1/3 = 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6

Now we can produce an equation accordingly to determine how much time it'll take machine a to finish the job:

5/6 + 1/2x = 1

1/2x = 1/6

x = 1/3 hours = 20 minutes

Note: In the question you typed "how much additional time will it take machine b to finish" but I think you meant machine a because machine b broke down. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hope this helps! And let me know if you have any questions!

Item 5<br> Write 77.5% as a fraction or mixed number in simplest form.
jeyben [28]

<span>77.5% can also be written as 77.5/100, but if you're the mathematical notation police, people don't like decimals on a fraction, sooo, an equivalent form is: </span>

<span>
 = (77.5)/(100) * (2/2)
= 155/200

It is important that face masks used by firefighters be able to withstand high temperatures because firefighters commonly work i
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The 93% confidence interval for the true proportion of masks of this type whose lenses would pop out at 325 degrees is (0.3154, 0.5574). This means that we are 93% sure that the true proportion of masks of this type whose lenses would pop out at 325 degrees is (0.3154, 0.5574).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

For this problem, we have that:

n = 55, \pi = \frac{24}{55} = 0.4364

93% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.07, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.07}{2} = 0.965, so Z = 1.81.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4364 - 1.81\sqrt{\frac{0.4364*0.5636}{55}} = 0.3154

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4364 + 1.81\sqrt{\frac{0.4364*0.5636}{55}} = 0.5574

The 93% confidence interval for the true proportion of masks of this type whose lenses would pop out at 325 degrees is (0.3154, 0.5574). This means that we are 93% sure that the true proportion of masks of this type whose lenses would pop out at 325 degrees is (0.3154, 0.5574).

What are the characteristics of the graph of the inequality x ≥ -2? The ray will move to the left. The ray will move to the righ
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality x ≥ -2 is graphed on a number line.  -2 is the smallest possible value.  All subsequent values are larger and therefore lie to the right of -2.

Thus, the following are true:

1.  The ray will move to the right (because x begins at -2 and increases, which means moving to the right on the number line).

2.  It will use a closed circle (because x = -2 is part of the solution set).
