Answer:

-6 3/10 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of ice sculpture changes -1 4/5 pounds every 1 hour.

In 3 1/2 hours, multiply the time with the weight.

-1 4/5 × 3 1/2

Multiply.

-9/5 × 7/2

-63/10 = -6 3/10

Answer:

It will decrease by 6  3/10 lbs in the 3 1/2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate is -1 4/5 lbs  per hour

The time is 3 1/2 hours

Multiply to find the weight change

-1 4/5 * 3 1/2

Change to improper fractions

- ( 5*1 +4) /5 * ( 2* 3+1)/2

- 9/5 * 7/2

-63/10

Changing back to a mixed number

-6  3/10

It will decrease by 6  3/10 lbs in the 3 1/2 hours

Yuki bought a pound of confetti for $ 12 $12dollar sign, 12. What is the price, in dollars, per ounce of confetti? There are 16
Zina [86]

We have been given that bought a pound of confetti for $12. We are asked to find price per ounce of confetti.

We know that 1 pound equals 16 ounces. To find cost of per ounce confetti, we will divide total cost by 16 as:

\text{Cost of per ounce confetti}=\frac{\$12}{16}

\text{Cost of per ounce confetti}=\frac{\$3}{4}

\text{Cost of per ounce confetti}=\$0.75

Therefore, the cost of per ounce confetti is $0.75

This situation shows that <em>the sides lengths of rectangle P is three times longer than the similar sides on Q</em>. <em>x correlates to 4 ft</em>, and <em>9 ft correlates to y</em>.

This means <em>x = 3*4</em> and <em>9 = 3*y</em>.

x = 12 (simplification)

y = 9/3 (division)

y = 3 (simplification)

Which increase faster, f(x)=5x or g(x)=5^x
hichkok12 [17]

g(x) = 5^x is your answer

Plug in increasing numbers for x to get the output.

For example: when x = 1

f(1) = 5(1) = 5

g(1) = 5^(1) = 5

when x = 2

f(2)= 5(2) = 10

g(2) = 5^(2) = 25

when x = 3

f(3) = 5(3) = 15

g(3) = 5^(3) = 125

~

From the example above, we see that g(x) = 5^x is your answer

A certain statistic will be used as an unbiased estimator of a parameter. Let R represent the sampling distribution of the estim
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

c. The expected values of R and S will be equal, and the variability of R will be greater than the variability of S.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is Central Limit Theorem concept in which independent variables are added and form a normal distribution. The random sample of n sample size is selected which calculates normally distributed mean and variance. The expected value of samples distributor will be higher than the sample distribution.
