Length of blue cloth is 60 inches , length of gold cloth is 48 inches and length of white cloth is 72 inches.
<u>a.</u>
As, the length of all pieces are equal, so for getting the greatest possible length of the pieces, we need to find <u>GCF(greatest common factor) of 60, 48 and 72. </u>
First we will factor out all three numbers completely......
The common factors are: 2, 2 and 3
Thus the GCF
So, the greatest possible length of the pieces without having any cloth left over will be 12 inches.
<u>b. </u>
For finding the number of pieces for each color cloth, we will just <u>divide the length of each cloth by 12</u>. So...
The text implies that the number of traffic accidents determines the number of ambulances required on the road. Hence, 1 traffic accident requires 1 ambulance.
The time slot and time of day remain same in both the text and the question.
The average or mean number of accidents is 1.1
QUESTION: What then is the probability that there is need for exactly 2 ambulances on that road and in that time frame?
In other words, what is the probability that there'll be 2 accidents on that road and in that time frame?
Since the mean number of accidents is 1.1, 2 is above the mean.
Probability of 1.1 accidents is 1, since that's the mean (expected value).
we are to shade the model to represent the total amount of wire Carlos needs .
NOW;
For both projects ; Carlos needs ( 1.7 + 0.8) meters of wire = 2.5 meters of wire
In the attached files below. the first picture shows the diagram attached to the question and the second one shows the shading of the model which represent the total amount of wire Carlos needs.
