For this case we convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:3 \frac {1} {4} = \frac {4 * 3 + 1} {4} = \frac {12 + 1} {4} = \frac {13} {4}\\2 \frac {1} {2} = \frac {2 * 2 + 1} {2} = \frac {4 + 1} {2} = \frac {5} {2}

Now, we propose a rule of three:

\frac {13} {4}pounds of blueberries ------------->\frac {5} {2}cups of muffin mix

7 pounds of blueberries -----------------------------> x

Where the variable "x" represents the number of cups of muffin mix that Honey should use.

x = \frac {7 * \frac {5} {2}} {\frac {13} {4}}\\x = \frac {\frac {35} {2}} {\frac {13} {4}}\\x = \frac {35 * 4} {2 * 13}\\x = \frac {140} {26}\\x = \frac {70} {13}\\x = 5.38

So approximately Honey should use 5 \frac {5} {13} cups of muffin mix

Answer:

Approximately Honey should use 5 \frac {5} {13} cups of muffin mix

The weights of dogs at a kennel are Normally distributed with a mean of 18 pounds and a standard deviation of 3.5 pounds.In whic
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

P(x=25)=P(z=2)=0.9972 or 99.72%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = 18 pounds

Standard Deviation = 3.5 pounds

x= 25

We need to find P(x=25)

First, we need to find z-score using formula: z-score=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Finding z-score when x=25

z-score=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\z-score=\frac{25-18}{3.5}\\z-score=2

So, we need to find P(z=2)=P(x=25)

Looking at z-score table we can find P(z=2)

P(z=2)=0.9972 or 99.72%

So, P(z=2)=0.9972 or 99.72%

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

(5/6)x – 4 = 11

(5/6)x = 11 + 4

(5/6)x = 15

5x = 15×6 = 90

x = 90/5 = 18
