Answer:

Hence, a carpenter can paint a maximum of 7 chairs.

Hence, option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

A carpenter has less than 120 min. to spend painting furniture each day.

Today, he has spent 30.5 min. painting a desk.

Now he will paint x chairs, each of which takes 12.5 min.

i.e. he will take a total of 12.5x minutes in painting 'x' chairs.

Also total time spent on painting furniture each day will be equal to time spent on painting a desk and all of the chairs.

Hence,

30.5+12.5x<120 (since the total time he spends on painting is less than 120 mins.)

⇒ 12.5 x<120-30.5

⇒ 12.5 x<89.5

⇒ x<7.16  ( on dividing both side of the inequality with 12.5)

Hence, a carpenter can paint a maximum of 7 chairs.

Most
assume 120 mins

30.5 spent
120=30.5=89.5 left

time/timeperdesk=number of desks
89.5/12.5=7.16

less
7 desks

The diameters of ball bearings are distributed normally. The mean diameter is 106 millimeters and the standard deviation is 4 mi
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Probability that the diameter of a selected bearing is greater than 111 millimeters is 0.1056.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the diameters of ball bearings are distributed normally. The mean diameter is 106 millimeters and the standard deviation is 4 millimeters.

<em>Firstly, Let X = diameters of ball bearings</em>

The z score probability distribution for is given by;

          Z = \frac{ X - \mu}{\sigma} ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = mean diameter = 106 millimeters

            \sigma = standard deviation = 4 millimeter

Probability that the diameter of a selected bearing is greater than 111 millimeters is given by = P(X > 111 millimeters)

    P(X > 111) = P( \frac{ X - \mu}{\sigma} > \frac{111-106}{4} ) = P(Z > 1.25) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.25)

                                                  = 1 - 0.89435 = 0.1056

Therefore, probability that the diameter of a selected bearing is greater than 111 millimeters is 0.1056.

the function f is defined by f(x)=150/x-z where z is a constant. find z if the value of f at x=1/5 is equal to 250
malfutka [58]

Answer:

x = -1 \frac{1}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(\frac{1}{5}) = 120, therefore we can create this equation:

120 = 150 ÷ (\frac{1}{5} - z)

cross-multiply to get: 24 - 120z = 150

-120z = 126

z = -1 \frac{3}{60}

The area of Brians rectangular Garden in square feet can be found by using the expression 6(2 x + 5y) Use the distributive prope
algol [13]
Given the area, to rewrite the function using distributive property we get:
6(2x+5y)
using distributive property we open the parenthesis, this will give us:
6×2x+6×5y
simplifying the above we get
=12x+30y

Answer: 12x+30y
