For example 5/10\1/2 you would keep the 5/10 and flip the 1/2 to 2/1 and then multiply 5\10x2/1 to get 10/10 so 1

Use the coordinate grid to determine the coordinates of point A;

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of point P are (-1.4,0.6)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given A coordinate grid shown from negative 2 to positive 2 on x-axis and negative 2 to positive 2 on y-axis. There are 4 grid lines between a whole unit of the grid.

that means each grid has a value of 0.2.

" A point labeled P is shown at the intersection of 7 grid lines to the left of the y-axis and 3 grid lines above the x-axis "

As P lies on the left of the y-axis and above the x-axis hence the x-value will be negative and y-value will be positive.

According to the given information P lies 7 grid lines to the left of y-axis.

i.e. it has x-value -7×0.2= -1.4

and 3 grid lines above the x-axis i.e. it has y-value:

y-value= 3×0.2=0.6

Hence, the coordinates of Point P are (-1.4,0.6).

A particular fruit's weights are normally distributed, with a mean of 618 grams and a standard deviation of 24 grams. If you pic

Lorico [155]

Answer: The probability is 0.5136.

To find this probability we have to find the range of the values on the normal distribution table.

First, we need to find the percent for each making z-score.

Lower end: 50/24 = 2.08 = 0.0183

Upper end: 2/24 = 0.08 = 0.5319

Now, that we have the upper and lower ends, we can subtract them to find the difference or the range.

0.5319 - 0.0183 = 0.5136

There is a 51.36% chance they are in the given range.

A 5-gallon jug of cleaning solution contains 6% bleach. How much pure water should be added to it to dilute to 4% bleach?

mihalych1998 [28]

Let's bear in mind that 5 gallons with a solution of 6% bleach, contains some water plus some bleach, how much bleach? well, is just 6% of 5 gallons or namely (6/100) * 5 gallons, or 0.30 gallons.

if we use "x" gallons of water, well pure water has no bleach, so is 0% bleach, and it has a (0/100) * x or 0x gallons of bleach.

the mixture will be say "y" gallons, and is 4% bleach, so (4/100) * y is 0.04y gallons in the mixture of bleach.

$\bf \begin{array}{lcccl}
&\stackrel{gallons}{quantity}&\stackrel{\textit{\% of bleach}}{amount}&\stackrel{\textit{gallons of bleach}}{amount}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{pure water}&x&0.00&0x\\
\textit{6\% solution}&5&0.06&0.3\\
-----&------&------&------\\
mixture&y&0.04&0.04y
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
x+5=\boxed{y}\\
0x+0.3=0.04y\\
---------\\
0.3=0.04\left( \boxed{x+5} \right)
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
0.3=0.04x+0.2\implies 0.1=0.04x\implies \cfrac{0.1}{0.04}=x\implies 2.5=x$

a carpenter has been asked to build an open box with a sqaure base. the sides of the box will cost $3 per m^2 and the base will

slamgirl [31]

<h2>Dimension of box is 2 m x 2 m x 1.33 m</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be base side and h be the height.

Volume of box, V = a²h

The sides of the box will cost $3 per m² and the base will cost $4 per m². Cost for making is $48.

That is

4a² + 3 x 4 x a x h = 48

4a² + 12 a x h = 48
