Answer:

3p = $2.10

p = $0.70

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of a pencil: p

Cost of a pen: p × 2 = 2p

If the cost of 1 pen and 1 pencil is $2.10,

2p + 1p = $2.10

3p = $2.10

p = $0.70

Compare the fraction 1:24,000 to the fraction 1:3,168,000; which is the largest rational number

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{24,000}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

When we compare positive fractions with the same numerator, the largest rational number will be the fraction with the lowest denominator

In this problem we have

$\frac{1}{24,000}$ and $\frac{1}{3,168,000}$

Both numerator are equal

Compare the denominators

$24,000 < 3,168,000$

therefore

$\frac{1}{24,000}$ is the largest rational number

A walkway goes through the middle of a square playground from one corner to the opposite corner. If the walkway is 20 meters lon

Dahasolnce [82]

I think you would use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this, as a square cut across diagonally creates two isocele triangles. Since the longest side is 20 m, this value would be imputed into c^2.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + a^2 = 20^2
2a^2 = 400
2a^2/2 = 400/2
a^2 = 200
a = 14.14

Thus, each sides of the playground are 14.14 meters long.

A sociologist wishes to test . the sociologist takes a sample of size 100 and calculates a standardized test statistic of -2.34.

mariarad [96]

Answer:

One-sample Z-test

Step-by-step explanation:

As the sample size is greater than 30, assuming the data is a simple random sample, and that the data has a normal distribution, the sociologist should conduct a one-sample z-test to calculate the p-value.
