Let's take the number as x.
two-fifths of a number = 2x / 5
decreased by 3 = (2x/5) - 3
(2x/5) - 3
(2*25/5) - 3
(2*5) - 3
10 - 3
7
Answer:
option B.
About 16% of the books have fewer than 150 pages
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are dealing with a normal distribution
68.27% of the values will fall in the range with the standard deviation
(180-30 , 180+30) = (150, 210)
Approximately 15.86% of the values will be higher than 210
and the rest 15.86% will be lower than 150
So the correct answer is option B.
About 16% of the books have fewer than 150 pages
You would divide 7 by 4. (7/4) each section would be 1.75 miles :)
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+2y=2------------1
-3x+5y=5-----------2
adding 1 and 2 we get
7y=7
y=1
and from (1),we get
3x+2×1=2
3x=0
x=0 is the required value of x.
