Answer:
If we assume that everyone in the group is an owner, we would have
legs.
legs
Therefore, we need 24 more legs.
These 24 additional legs can be made from the difference of legs between the owners and dogs.
In this case, dogs have more legs than an owner.
24 ÷ 2 = 12.
There are 12 dogs in the group.
Answer:
x=6 y=-9
Step-by-step explanation:
- Layer the equations on each other as you would in a subtraction problem:
8x + 2y=30
7x + 2y=24
- Subtract the equation just like you would normally. This should leave 1x=6 or x=6.
- Now that you have your x value, plug it in as x for one of the equations. For the 2nd equation, this leaves:
42+2y=24 then
2y=-18 then
y=-9
- Double check your y value by plugging x=6 into the first equation. This should also leave y=-9.
Answer:
The correct answer is 144.
Step-by-step explanation:
The librarian noticed that 60% of total seventh graders checked out fantasy books from the library.
Total number of seventh graders is given to be 240.
Number of seventh grade students who checked out fantasy books = 60% of 240 = 0.6 × 240 = 144.
Thus out of 240 seventh graders 144 of them would check out a fantasy book from the library.
Answer:
option (D) 16.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided:
Sleep time of , X = 15.9 is at the 10th percentile
Standard deviation, σ = 0.5 hour
also,
10th percentile of normal distribution is
Z = F⁻¹(0.10)
or
Z = - 1.28 (Using Standard Normal distribution)
Now,
or
X = μ + ( σ × Z )
or
μ = X - ( σ × Z )
on substituting the respective values, we get
μ = 15.9 - 0.5 × (-1.28)
or
μ = 16.5
Hence, the correct answer is option (D) 16.5
