Answer:

Width 130 ft and

Length 320 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

  • Length of the rectangular base is 70 ft less than three times the width;
  • Perimeter of the rectangular base is 900 ft

We are required  to determine the dimensions of the rectangular base;

Assuming the width of the rectangular base is x ft

Then length will be (3x - 70) ft

But;

Perimeter = 2L + 2W

Thus;

900 ft = 2(3x-70) + 2(x)

900 ft = 6x -140 +2x

1040 = 8x

 x = 130

Thus;

Width = 130 ft

Length = 3x -70 = 320 ft

Hence the dimensions of the rectangular base are width 130 ft and length 320 ft

<span>P(1 claim) = p/4
P(2 claims) = (p/4)/4 = p/16

You should see that the distribution follows a geometric series with common ratio 1/4.
Sum geometric = (first term) / (1 - common ratio) = p/(1 - 1/4) = 4p/3

But the sum of all the probabilites must equal 1 ----> 4p/3 = 1 ----> p = 3/4

P(2 or more claims) = 1 - P(0 claims) - P(1 claim) = 1 - 3/4 - 3/16 = 1/16</span>

siniylev [52]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

p + 3d = 9.50

3p + 4d = 19.75

-3p - 9d = -28.50

3p + 4d =  19.75

-5d = -8.25

d= $1.65 drinks

p + 3(1.65) = 9.50

p + 4.95 = 9.50

p = $4.55 popcorn

9× 3 1/2=<br> Which choice is the most reasonable answer?
icang [17]

Answer:

31.5 or 63/2

Step-by-step explanation:

to do this, first you need to transform the <u>mixed number</u> <em>(3 1/2)</em> into an <u>improper fraction</u>, to get 7/2.

then you just multiply 9 by 7/2

9/1 (7/2)

63/2 = 31.5

<em>both of the answers in bold are correct</em>
