Answer:

<h2>43</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • Initially, the ham weighed 15 \frac{1}{8}lb, which is equivalent to\frac{121}{8}lb.
  • After cooking and without bone, the ham weighed 1\frac{3}{5} lb less, which is equivalent to \frac{8}{5} lb.

To know the total amount of ham we have to serve, we need to subtract

\frac{121}{8}- \frac{8}{5}=\frac{605-64}{40}=\frac{541}{40}

So, there is 541/40 pounds to serve.

If each serving has 5/16 pounds of the ham, then we need to divide this with the total pounds available, and that would give the total number of servings

\frac{541}{40} \div  \frac{5}{16}=\frac{541}{40} \times \frac{16}{5}=   \frac{8656}{200} \approx 43.28

So, there are 43.28 possible serving. However, we need to round this to the integer because we cannot serve a uncomplete plate.

Therefore, she can provide 43 complete servings with 5/16 pounds of ham.

Do 15 1/8-1 3/5 so that is 13 21/40, then 13 21/40 divided by 5/16, so the answer is  48, because it is COMPLETE servings

Answer:

$12.31

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of the original rate of pay as being 100%.

If your rate is increasing by 7%, it will now be 107% of the original rate (since 100% + 7% = 107%)

To find 107% of $11.50, convert 107% into a decimal

⇒ 107% = 107/100 = 1.07

then multiply this by the original rate to get the new increased rate:

⇒ $11.50 × 1.07 = $12.305

Rounding this to the nearest hundred = $12.31

Alternatively, you can find 7% of $11.50 and then add this to $11.50.

⇒ 7% = 7/100 = 0.07

Therefore, 7% of $11.50 = 0.07 × $11.50 = $0.805

Add this to the original rate:

$11.50 + $0.805 = $12.305

Rounding this to the nearest hundred = $12.31

The variance of hours males spend working is almost two times as large as females. 60% of those females are more likely to work between 12.7 to 17.3 hours while 60% of the males work between 9.6 to 20.3 hours based on one standard deviation.

Each of the following data sets has a mean of x = 10. (i) 8 9 10 11 12 (ii) 7 9 10 11 13 (iii) 7 8 10 12 13 (a) Without doing an
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given are 3 data sets with values as:

(i) 8 9 10 11 12   ... Mean =10

(ii) 7 9 10 11 13    ... Mean =10

(iii) 7 8 10 12 13   ... Mean =10

We see that  data set shows mean deviations as

(i) -2 -1 0 1 2  

(ii) -3 -1 0 1 3    

(iii) -3 -2 0 2 3  

Since variance is the square of std deviation, we find that std deviation is larger when variance is larger.

Variance is the sum of squares of (x-mean).  Whenever x-mean increases variance increases and also std deviation.

Hence we find that without calculations also (i) has least std dev followed by (ii) and then (iii)

(i) (ii) (iii) is the order.

b) Between (i) and (ii) we find that 3 entries are the same and 2 entries differ thus increasing square by 9-4 twice.  But between (ii) and (iii) we find that

increase in square value would be 4-1 twice. Obviously the latter is less.
