Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The cross section will have the same shape as the base of the pentagonal prism; the dimensions will be proportionally smaller.

The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "D.) There is likely an association between the categorical variables because the relative frequencies are both close to 0.50." Given that a relative frequencies of 0.48 and 0.52, there will be an association between the categorical variables.<span>

A bicycle computer or cyclometer uses a magnet counter that records each wheel rotation to calculate the bike’s total distance t

CaHeK987 [17]

The simplest and probably the best way to understand this problem is to make up a problem that obeys what you have been given. It doesn't have to be realistic. It just has to obey the conditions. Let us suppose that you thought the diameter of the tire is 1 yard. That would mean the circumfrence is pi * d

C = 3.14 * 1

That would mean that the circumference is 3.14 yards. It would also mean that you would have to have the wheel turn 1760 yards / /3.14 yards / revolution which is about 561 revolutions / mile. So the way I have set up the problem, my equation is d = 561 * R where R is the number of revolutions.

Now let's see what happens when you say "O my Goodness, the wheel diameter is really 32 inches" which 0.8888888 yards what happens now?

Now you still have to go 1760 yards How many revolutions is that?

C = pi * d

C = 3.14 * 0.88888888

C = 2.79111 yards

How many revolutions does it take to 1760 yards.

R = 1760 // 2.78111 yards / revolution

R = 631 revolutions / mile. What happened?

Your constant goes up if the wheel diameter goes down. Think about this. Do you ride a bicycle? I do. It makes perfect sense to me that if the wheel is small, it will have to turn more often to go a mile. No matter where that 0.00125 comes from or how it was derived, the constant will have to go up if the wheel gets smaller.

Mark earned $240 in the first week and earns $680 in the fifth week. How much will he earn in the 20th week (suppose his earning

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

$ 2330

Step-by-step explanation:

a = $240

Earning at the end of fifth week = $ 680

increase in earnings per weak = ( 680 -240)/2 = 440/2 =110

d =110

l = a + (n-1)d

a20 = 240 + (19 * 110 ) = 240 + 2090 = 2330

The product of 4 and a number f decreased by 2 is 15

Debora [2.8K]

Answer: The number is: "2 " .

__________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

__________________________________________

Write the expression; which is an equation, as follows:

__________________________________________

" 4x − 12 = 2(-x) " ; in which "x" represents "the number for which we shall solve" .

___________________________________________

Note:

If the "number" = "x" ; the "opposite of the number" = " -x " ;

___________________________________________

Rewrite as: " 4x − 12 = -2x " ;

_____________________________________________

→ Add "12" ; & add "2x" ; to EACH SIDE of the equation:

4x − 12 + 12 + 2x = -2x + 12 + 2x ;

to get: 6x = 12 ;

____________________________________________________

Now, divide each side of the equation by "6" ;

to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;

____________________________________________________

6x / 6 = 12 / 6 ;

to get: x = 2 .

____________________________________________________

Answer: The number is: "2 " .

____________________________________________________

Let us check our answer, by plugging in "2" for "x" in our original equation:

_____________________________________________________

→ " 4x − 12 = 2(-x) " ;

Let us plug in "2" for "x" ; to see if the equation holds true; that is; if both side of the equation are equal; when "x = 2" ;

→ " 4(2) − 12 = ? 2(-2) ??

→ 8 − 12 = ? -4 ? ;

→ -4 = ? -4 ?? Yes!
