Answer:

For the ratio between the price of the phones to be 9:11, the price of Emma's phone must decrease from $ 560 to $ 523.66. That is, the price of Emma's phone should decrease $ 36,364

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, call x on Emma's phone and z on Sophie's phone.

We know that the price relationship between x and z is 7: 8

This means that:

\frac{7}{8} =\frac{x}{z}

We know that the price of Sophie's phone is $ 640

Entoces z = 640  

Now we clear x

\frac{7}{8} =\frac{x}{640}\\ x =640}\frac{7}{8}=560\\ x = 560

Then, if the new relationship is 9:11 then:

\frac{9}{11} =\frac{x}{640}

x = $523,636

For the ratio between the price of the phones to be 9:11, the price of Emma's phone must decrease from $ 560 to $ 523.66. That is, the price of Emma's phone should decrease $ 36,364

Let cost of Emma's phone = x

Given that cost of Sophie's phone = 640

Then ratio of their phones cost will be x:640 or x/640

Given that ratio of their phones cost is 7:8 or 7/8

So both ratios will be equal.

\frac{x}{640}=\frac{7}{8}

x=\frac{7}{8}*640

x=560


So the new ratio of the cost of their phones will be 560:640

Now we have to find about how much should the prices of their phones decrease in order to have a ratio of 9:11.

So let that decreased amount is k then we will get equation :

\frac{560-k}{640-k}=\frac{9}{11}

11(560-k)=9(640-k)

6160-11k=5760-9k

6160-5760=11k-9k

400=2k

200=k


Hence final answer is prices of their phones should decrease by 200 in order to have a ratio of 9:11.

A business owner noted the features of the 100 cars parked at the business. Here are the results:
AlexFokin [52]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image  

Answer:

The probability is  P(4 \ doors | sunroof ) =  0.40

Step-by-step explanation:

 From the question we are told that

        The number of cars packed is  n = 100

The objective of this solution is to find the probability that the car which has a sunroof also has four doors

   This probability is mathematically represented as

               P(4 \ doors | sunroof )

Baye's Rule define this probability mathematically  as

             P(4 \ doors | sunroof ) =  \frac{P(4 \ doors \ n \ sunroof )}{P(sunroof)}

   From the diagram

          P(4 \ doors \ n \ sunroof ) =  20

and     P(sunroof) =  50

So

      P(4 \ doors | sunroof ) =  \frac{20}{50}

      P(4 \ doors | sunroof ) =  0.40

Three streets intersect to form a right triangle as shown below. The parts of streets that make up the legs of this triangle are
Burka [1]

Answer:

70 yd.

Step-by-step explanation:

The three streets at the intersection form a right triangle.

For a right triangle, the length of the longest side (called hypothenuse) is given by Pythagorean's theorem:

h=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}

where

x is the length of the 1st side

y is the length of the 2nd side

h is the length of the hypothenuse

Here we want to find the hypothenuse.

We have:

x = 42 yd (length of the 1st side)

y = 56 yd (length of the 2nd side)

Substituting, we find h:

h=\sqrt{42^2+56^2}=70 yd
