Use two unit multipliers to convert 600 miles to inches. ( Do not multiply out.)

Answer:

(600 mi) × (5280 ft/mi) × (12 in/ft)

Step-by-step explanation:

A "unit multiplier" is a multiplier that has a value of 1. That is, the numerator and denominator have the same value. For units conversion problems, the numerator quantity has the units you want, and the denominator quantity has the units you're trying to cancel.

You have units of miles. You know that ...

1 mile = 5280 feet

1 foot = 12 inches

You want to get to units of inches. With these conversion factors, you can do it in two steps (as the problem requests). The first conversion is from miles to feet using the unit multiplier (5280 feet)/(1 mile). This gives you a number of feet.

Then the second conversion is from feet to inches, so you use the one that lets you put inches in the numerator and feet in the denominator:

(12 inches)/(1 foot)

When you multiplie these all out, units of miles and feet cancel, and you're left with inches.

_____

With the above conversion factors, you can write unit mulipliers of either ...

(5280 ft)/(1 mi) . . . to convert to feet

or

(1 mi)/(5280 ft) . . . to convert to miles.

A computer was on sale for 270 if the original price was cut by 40% what was the original price
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer: 108

Step-by-step explanation: The 40% percent taken away from $270 would be $108, because I round it to 50% percent off and that would $135 but since it's 40% off not 50% so I took away 10% from $135, and that's how I found my answer .

A random sample of 500 people is taken. 260 of them rent (as oppose to own) their residence. Compute a 95% confidence interval f
kirill [66]

Answer: A 95% confidence interval for the true proportion (p) will be (0.4762136, 0.5637864).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p = True proportion of people rent their residence.

Given: n= 500

People rent their residence = 260

p=\dfrac{260}{500}=0.52

z-value for 95% confidence level = 1.96

A 95% confidence interval for the true proportion will be :

p\pm z^*\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}

0.52\pm (1.96)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.52(1-0.52)}{500}}\\\\=0.52\pm(1.96\sqrt{\dfrac{0.2496}{500}})\\\\=0.52\pm 1.96\sqrt{0.0004992}\\\\=0.52\pm (1.96)(0.02234)\\\\=0.52\pm0.0437864\\\\=(0.52-0.0437864,\ 0.52+0.0437864)\\\\=(0.4762136,\ 0.5637864)

A 95% confidence interval for the true proportion (p) will be (0.4762136, 0.5637864).
