Christine has always been weak in mathematics. Based on her performance prior to the final exam in Calculus, there is a 40% chan

ce that she will fail the course if she does not have a tutor. With a tutor, her probability of failing decreases to 10%. There is only a 50% chance that she will find a tutor at such short notice.

Answer:

There are a 25% probability that Christine fails the course.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

A 50% probability that Christine finds a tutor.

With a tutor, she has a 10% probability of failling.

A 50% probability that Christine does not find a tutor.

Without a tutor, she has a 40% probability of failing.

Probability that she fails:

10% of 50%(fail with a tutor) plus 40% of 50%(fail without a tutor). So

$P = 0.1*0.5 + 0.4*0.5 = 0.25$

There are a 25% probability that Christine fails the course.

QUESTION A

The given multiplication problem is

$\frac{39}{64} \times \frac{8}{13}$

Factor each term to obtain;

$\frac{13\times 3}{8\times8} \times \frac{8}{13}$

Cancel out the common factors to obtain;

$\frac{1\times 3}{8\times1} \times \frac{1}{1}$

Simplify to get;

$\frac{3}{8}$

QUESTION B

The given multiplication problem is

$\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{1}{5}\times \frac{4}{7}$

This the same as

$\frac{2\times 1\times 4}{3\times 5\times 7}$

This simplifies to;

$\frac{8}{105}$

QUESTION C

The given problem is

$\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{10}{12} \times \frac{1}{2}$

This is the same as

$\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{2}$

$=\frac{1}{1}\times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2}$

This simplifies to

$=\frac{1}{4}$

QUESTION D.

The given expression is

$\frac{4}{9}\times 54$

Factor the 54 to obtain;

Cancel the common factors to get;

$\frac{4}{1}\times 1\times 6$

This simplifies to;

$=24$

QUESTION E

The given problem is

$20\times 3\frac{1}{5}$

Convert the mixed numbers to improper fraction to obtain;

$=20\times \frac{16}{5}$

$=4\times5 \times \frac{16}{5}$

Cancel the common factors to get;

$=4\times1 \times \frac{16}{1}$

$=64$

QUESTION F

The multiplication problem is

$11 \times 2 \frac{7}{11}$

Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions to obtain;

$11 \times \frac{29}{11}$

Cancel out the common factors to get;

$=1 \times \frac{29}{1}$

Simplify;

$=29$

QUESTION G

The given problem is

$5\frac{1}{3}\times 5\frac{1}{8}$

Convert to improper fractions;

$=\frac{16}{3}\times \frac{41}{8}$

$=\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{41}{1}$

$=\frac{82}{3}$

Convert back to mixed numbers

$=27\frac{1}{3}$

QUESTION H

The given expression is

$10\frac{2}{3} \times 1\frac{3}{8}$

Convert to improper fraction to get;

$\frac{32}{3} \times \frac{11}{8}$

Ann is 5 feet 3 inches tall. To find the height of a lamppost, she measured her shadow to be 8 feet 9 inches and the lamppost’s

Makovka662 [10]

Answer: The lamppost is 7 feet 2 inches

Step-by-step explanation: If Ann measured her own height and her shadow, then what she used is a ratio between both measurements. If she can measure the shadow of the lamppost, then she can use the same ratio of her height and it’s shadow to derive the correct measurement of the lamppost.

If Ann’s height was measured as 5 feet 3 inches, and her shadow was 8 feet 9 inches, the ratio between them can be expressed as 3:5.

Reduce both dimensions to the same unit, that is, inches. (Remember 12 inches = 1 foot)

Ratio = 63/105

Reduce to the least fraction

Ratio = 3/5

If the height of the lamppost is H, then

H/144 = 3/5

H = (144 x3)/5

H = 86.4

Therefore the lamppost is approximately 86 inches, that is 7 feet and 2 inches tall.
