Answer: Andrew = 90 pounds

Explanation:
Assume Andrew weight is X
Since Jackson weight is 3 times Andrew
Then it’s 3x

3x + x = 360
4x = 360
x = 90

In a survey of 5100 randomly selected T.V. viewers, 40% said they watch network news programs. Find the margin of error for this

horsena [70]

Answer:

Margin of error = 0.01344

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin of error = critical value × standard deviation.

critical value for 95% confidence interval = 1.96

Standard deviation = √[(p)(q)/n]

p = 0.4, q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6, n = 5100

Standard deviation = √[(0.6×0.4)/5100] = 0.00686

Margin of error = 1.96 × 0.00686 = 0.0134

1/3 +1/6 in fraction form

Do you remember that we cannot add fractions when they have unlike denominators? We can onyl add fractions as long as they have the same denominator!

So here's the big idea: fractions must have the same denominator.

If we multiply the first fraction by 2, then both fractions will have the same denominator. *

* Why 2??

- Because:

We need to find the least common multiple of 3 and 6, which is 6. Next, what should 3 be multiplied by to result in 6? That's right, 2.

Also, we can only multiply the denominator by 2 as long as we multiply the numerator by 2!

So that's why we multiply the whole fraction by 2

$\bf{\cfrac{1\times2}{3\times2}+\cfrac{1}{6}}$

Watch what happens

$\bf{\cfrac{2}{6}+\cfrac{1}{6}}$

Add the numerators

$\bf{\cfrac{2+1}{6}}$

$\bf{\cfrac{3}{6}}$

Simplifying the fractions

$\bf{\cfrac{3\div3}{6\div3}}$

$\bf{\cfrac{1}{2}}$

Write the equation of the line in slope intercept form given: m = -6, b = 0

Harrizon [31]

Y = -6x

slope intercept form is y=mx+b, I’m sure you just plug in the numbers

Someone help me solve

Lady_Fox [76]

First draw sloping up (steep because he’s running)to the right until you hit 20 on the y axis. Next draw down and to the right for 5 yards until 15 on y axis. Next is a flat horizontal line for 3 seconds on x axis. Finally a shallow slope line down (because he is walking) and right until you hit the x axis.

Simplify the expressions by combining like terms 10r - 5r + 3r - 8r

Yuri [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms, perform the operations with the coefficients of the variable, then write the variable.

10r - 5r + 3r - 8r

= 5r + 3r - 8r

= 8r - 8r

= 0
