Answer:

20-(10 2/9)-(5 1/4)= 4.52777777778 inches decimal or 163/36

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

20 - (10 + 2/9) - (5 + 1/4)

Put 10 + 2/9 over the common denominator 9. 10 + 2/9 = (9×10)/9 + 2/9:

20 - (9×10)/9 + 2/9 - (5 + 1/4)

9×10 = 90:

20 - (90/9 + 2/9) - (5 + 1/4)

90/9 + 2/9 = (90 + 2)/9:

20 - (90 + 2)/9 - (5 + 1/4)

90 + 2 = 92:

20 - 92/9 - (5 + 1/4)

Put 5 + 1/4 over the common denominator 4. 5 + 1/4 = (4×5)/4 + 1/4:

20 - 92/9 - (4×5)/4 + 1/4

4×5 = 20:

20 - 92/9 - (20/4 + 1/4)

20/4 + 1/4 = (20 + 1)/4:

20 - 92/9 - (20 + 1)/4

20 + 1 = 21:

20 - 92/9 - 21/4

Put 20 - 92/9 - 21/4 over the common denominator 36. 20 - 92/9 - 21/4 = (36×20)/36 + (4 (-92))/36 + (9 (-21))/36:

(36×20)/36 + (4 (-92))/36 + (9 (-21))/36

4 (-92) = -368:

720/36 + (-368)/36 + (9 (-21))/36

9 (-21) = -189:

720/36 - 368/36 + (-189)/36

720/36 - 368/36 - 189/36 = (720 - 368 - 189)/36:

(720 - 368 - 189)/36

720 - 368 - 189 = 720 - (368 + 189):

A contracting company rents a generator for 6 hours and a heavy duty saw for 6 hours total cost of $48 for another job the compa
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

the hourly rates are $8 and $10 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

The generator rents for 6 hours and the total cost is $48

And, for another job The generator rents for 4 hours and the total cost is $40

We need to find out the hourly rates

For the first one

= $48 ÷ 6 hours

= $8

For the second one

= $40 ÷ 4 hours

= $10

Hence, the hourly rates are $8 and $10 respectively

In 1990, 1000 adults were randomly selected and each was asked if they smoked, 300
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

 The proportion of smokers was higher in 1990 than in 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

Recall that,

The total number of sample 1 (n1) = 1000

Total  sample 2 number  (n2) = 2000

The number of favourable events (X1) = 300

The number of favourable events (X2) = 500

so,

p₁ = X₁/n₁ = 300/1000 = 0.3

p₂ = X₂/n₂ =500/2000 =0.25

α = 0.05

We are interested in testing the hypothesis.

The  hypothesis (Null) ....>  H₀ : p₁ = p₂

Alternate hypothesis------ > H₁ : p₁ > p₂

Thus,

P = X₁ + X₂/ n₁ + n₂

P =300 + 500/1000 +2000

P =800/3000

=0.2667

Now,

Z₀ = P₁ - P₂/√ P (1 -P) (1/n₁ + 1/n₂)

Z₀ =  0.3 - 0.25/√0.2667  (1 - 0.2667) (1/1000 + 1/2000)

Z₀ = 0.4999999999999999/√ 0.2667 (0.7333000000000001) (0.001 +0.0005)

Then,

Z₀ = 0.4999999999999999/√0.00029335666500000004

Z₀ = 2.9193

so,

zα/2 = z0.05/2 =z0.025

zα/2 = 1.6448536269514722

Now, we apply the decision rule:

Decision Rule: Reject the null hypothesis if the statistic value test is higher than the critical value 1.6448536269514722

The statistic value, 2.9193 is greater than the critical value 1.6448536269514722,  then we will reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore, the proportion of smokers was higher in 1990 than in 2000

A game increased in price by 1/2 . After the increase it was priced at £27. What was the original price of the game? (Hegarty Ma
lukranit [14]

Answer:

£18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = original price of the game

Increase in price = 1/2

New price = £27

x + 1/2x = £27

2x+x/2 = 27

3/2x = 27

x = 27 ÷ 3/2

= 27 × 2/3

= 54 / 3

x = £18

Therefore, the original price of the game is £18
